"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word."BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU MUST WORK VERY HARD, VERY SMART, AND NEVER QUIT.dunk session rained out, probably for the better because of my turf toe.. no gyms open, outdoor court with roof closed on MLK day (ironically), weak.
1/17/2011
BW = 154.0
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left big toe (turf toe) , felt better initially today, even when thinking i'd be able to dunk, calf raises aggravated it throughout the day
diet = protein shake + 2 teaspoon coffee, driving around looking for a court for 1.5 hours, cheeseburger on multigrain bread + banana, 7 mile walk, small protein shake, squatting, protein shake, turkey & cheese + banana + protein shake
fatigue = low, felt great
protein + coffee = because i thought i was going to dunk at outdoor court with roof.
workout #1: throughout the day, prior to walk..
GB = GLUTE BRIDGE
PU = PUSHUP
CR = CALF RAISE
-
CR-70, PU-20, GB-100, CR-70, PU-20, GB-120, PU-20, CR-80,
GB-150, CR-70, GB-100, CR-60,
workout #2: walk + light jogs
- 7 miles, felt so strong/bouncy even just walking.. light jogs felt ridiculously good except for my toe bugging me at times
workout #3: squat (under low kcal, felt it)
- half squatting: 45 lb @ 3 x 10, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 235 x 5, 255 x 5, 275 x 5, 295 x 5,
315 x 5, 325 x 1, 335 x 1, 345 x weak - depth got itMEBM half squatting (last set) :
275 x 10, 10, 15so, 325 and 335 felt good, 345 felt my groin just too much pressure, core giving out.. so, unracking 345 felt easy, crazy.. i just feel very strong..
those squats came at 153 lb + being calorie depleted after a 1.5 hour walk.. lol.. 335 x 1 @ 153workout #3: more calf raises
- calf raise: 35 lb tot @ 60, 50, 50
IMPORTANT REMINDERS- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+
CURRENT GOALS01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises
