bw = 154.4 <-- nooooooooo!!!!! ;d
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left toe felt a little weird waking up, felt fine during dunk session amazingly, feels horrible AFTER my 14 mile walk + interval jogs
diet = protein shake + 2 teaspoon coffee, dunking + monster energy + protein shake, protein shake, cheeseburger, training + payday chocolate bar (stopped at CVS), protein shake, protein shake + turkey & cheese sandwich
fatigue = moderate (5 hour sleep)
workout #1: dunks
- got up good, check pics abuv.. 5 hours sleep though bleh.. complete rest the day before though, is doing me good, plan to do that sunday for monday's dunk session.
- pretty sure that's the best i've ever jumped indoor..
workout #2: long walk + light interval sprints
-
~12-14 miles covered in 2.5 hours
- got stopped by the cops twice, in two different cities... lol..
- the amazing thing is, i didn't lose my bounce at all in my calfs, the entire session.. im astonished by that.. usually with such a long walk my feet start slamming after 8 miles or so, since i don't usually walk that long + interval sprint.. but 2.5 hours in i felt perfect, crazy shit- 150 after training lololol
-
my toe really hurt after walking.. seems like the middle of my big toe hurts the most.. so that toe definitely hyper extended during those sprints a few days back, prolly tore that ligament up a bit, not full though obviously.
ok well tomorrow (thurs) = tons of glute bridges and calf raises (if i big toe isnt a problem), then walk + light interval sprint + half squat (x 5 and 3 x 10 hopefully)..
friday = walk + light interval sprint + tons of calf/glute work
sat = same as thurs
sun = just ez prone reverse hyper glute work
monday = hurt rims.. i'd actually like to be 150 or even 149 on monday HEH.. if that makes sense.. only in adarq-land does it make sense.
so that's the plan for now.. unfortunately i can't jump rope etc koz of the toe.. bleeeh.. can't really MR halftuck either.. shit is whack.. it better heal soon or im chopping it off with my rambo knife and sticking a grade 8 bolt in it.
pc, gonna work on a weird dunk vid tomorrow.
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
