Plus I get the most glute soreness ever from dumbbell BSSs.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

RDL: 1x5@60kgs, 1x5@90kgs, 1x5@110kgs

Back ext: 1x10@BW, 2x10@20kgs

SL KB calf: 1x20/leg@28kgs, 1x18(L),15(R)@28kgs --> right leg weakness showing up again

SL ham machine: 2x10/leg@15kgs

UB, core (see prog tracker)

BW: 76.5kgs

Felt a little bit of back contribution in the 110kg RDLs. Might keep the weight the same next week. I'm keeping the reps low on this and the back ext to minimise lower back fatigue.

Once again my track session was disrupted by this kids soccer program taking up the track. It should be free next week though, nbd. Decided to hit the gym again.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation stuff (leg swings, KB swings, low box jumps)

5 SVJs, best:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UsFR_nt1Nw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UsFR_nt1Nw</a>

Squat: warmup, 1x6@60kgs, 1x6@80kgs, 1x7@120kgs, 1x8@60kgs

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulAe0tVppmc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulAe0tVppmc</a>

Hip abductor machine: 2x15/leg@setting "4"

BW; 76.5kgs

I think my armswing on SVJ was a little better today. Felt pretty high.

Those are some beautiful squats man. The only tiny defect I can see is, and it's nitpicking, is that for a highbar squat you want your elbows under the bar. Not that it affects your form in any way but that's kinda incongruous to have the elbows pointed back. Perhaps you're using a thumbs behind grip as per lowbar?  Great work.

Thanks mate! Haha I knew someone would point that out. I didn't even realise I was holding them that high. It's scary what you don't know you're doing until you film. Kelly Starrett says that the elbows high fault is either poor shoulder/thoracic mobility, or just mistakenly holding them high to increase upper back tension. I'd hope that I'd be the latter but I'll keep an eye on it.

Nice squats, especially at 120kg, you make it look easy.

Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

Thanks guys!

________

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation exercises

Squat: warmup, 1x6@60kgs, 1x6@100kgs, 1x6@130kgs (not convincing though)

BSS: 2x8/leg@45kgs, 1x4/leg@25kgs

SL TKEs: 2x15/leg@15kgs

UB (see prog tracker)

BW: 76.2kgs

The 1x6@130kgs wasn't that good. I could tell as I unracked it I probably wouldn't power them up. Last rep was a real crappy grind. Will keep the same next week.  The BSS was really easy though. Definitely gained strength on it since I started a few weeks ago.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

RDL: 1x5@50kgs, 1x5@80kgs, 1x2@110kgs (grip fail), 1x5@110kgs

Back ext: 1x10@BW, 2x10@20kgs

SL KB calf: 2x20/leg@28kgs

Good workout, RDLs felt more hip-driven with better form this week.

I have to say I switched back to high bar squats because I saw your squats and got that "lust" of high bar squatting again :D

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

3 SVJs

Squat: 1x6@60kgs, 1x5@100kgs, 120kgs x 1, 130kgs x 1, 2x2@130kgs, 1x6@100kgs, 1x6@60kgs

BW: 76.5kgs

Very random session. Decided against track because I had major DOMS in all of p-chain from Friday still, plus it was wet. Went to the gym but it was a lot busier than normal, the spot I usually do SVJs was being used so just did a few submax ones in the stretching area. THen just played around with squats doing some singles and doubles of the weight I struggled with last week.

Did you get Romaleos 1 or 2? How are they? I'm looking at a review of the 2 and they say the midfoot strap is a bit long and it can drag under the foot.

The 2's. I've got nothing to really compare to except normal runners but they have met all my expectations so far. The midfoot strap does run long but I haven't had a problem with it.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

Squat: warmup, 1x6@60kgs, 1x3@60kgs (front), 1x6@100kgs, 1x5@130kgs, 1x6@100kgs

BSS: 1x8/leg@50kgs, 1x8@45kgs

SL TKEs: 1x15/leg@20, 1x15/leg@25, 1x10/leg@30

UB (see prog tracker)

BW: 76.2kgs

Looks like I'm getting stuck at 130kgs x 6. Stopped at 5 reps today rather than force a dodgy 6th, but the form was better compared to last week. Couldn't do two sets of BSS at 50kgs but it's still an increase over last week so that's OK.
