ok so.... the bodyweight only experiment has ended.. so, the have tons of fun experiment has started..

ok well, i can see myself really wrecking myself on this bodyweight shit again, because, i'll admit it, i'm greedy... the only way to provide significant overload is through depth drops and shock-like protocols... i know I can do it, it's just, do I have the patience to progress so damn slow and still risk injury such as my plantar fasciitis..  my exercise selection is limited on my bodyweight experiment, absolutely no devices / tools except for my GHR, so that leaves me to do lots of crazy shit in order to get results.. is it worth it right now? not sure.. i mean i'd love to complete it, but i also don't want to take waaay too much time adapting to drops/plyos.

i'll blog all this crap eventually and give my thoughts on pure bodyweight, I really think it can be done very successfully, as is kind of proof from how fast I got my RVJ up. plus you know what? i just want to do more stuff, more variety, and have more fun.. i get to use my thick bars, sled, and barbells now.. as well as my dip/pullup belt..

so, what am i going to do now? just have fun and keep up what i was doing, but instead of getting obsessed with my depth drops/plyos, i'll let those progress very-very gradually, which will be doable now that i'm going to mess with weights again.. i don't plan on going crazy with weights though, i'm still going to have a "more-work, lighter load" approach.


THANK YOU !!! :D

you planted the seed in my head a month or so ago, i blame you and your inception tactics :)

Haha , now you're back on track for 40'' so i feel no guilt! :D
BTW , i did like that experiment a lot , and going back to weights with the physical & mental gains from it will be sick.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

ya man.. I did accomplish a ton in the brief time i performed the experiment. I am going to apply those same principles to lifting, so expect a very different style of training than my previous journal on TVS etc. My #1 focus will still be work capacity and overall conditioning, while trying to improve 10-60m sprinting, 1mile run, and DLRVJ/SLRVJ.

so ya, I'm kinda bummed that I'm stopping the experiment right now, but to maintain my own sanity, I have to have some fun with my training.. I can't have fun if I'm worrying about depth drops/plyometrics while having plantar fasciitis and whatever other ailment comes next :)

so tomorrow hopefully I feel good, throw a few dunks down, then at night do my big lunge/ghr workout.. that's the plan right now, we'll see tomorrow though when I wake up.

peace man

A lacrosse ball works wonders for the plantar fascia (and glutes and shoulders and pretty much anywhere else that it's hard to use a foam roller). Smoother to roll around than a golf ball cause it doesn't have all those little divots.

Also, 135 lb squat = strong = ...what?
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

can't wait either.. though i'm not going to go crazy on the lifting.. but it definitely should have a big impact the way im about to incorporate it.. i don't want to really go to heavy right now, i see no need considering how strong i got without going heavy.. so my focus will be on power & frequency.

peace!

Hey man,

just been catching up with your journal! I think you are doing the right thing with keeping training fun and adjusting to the injury stuff. Sometimes one has to do a new routine even if the old one worked just to keep oneself motivated. Your goals of the fast mile and improving vertical are sure hard to reach at once. But I am sure you will figure out a way to do both! Good luck with the new routine and, most importantly, have fun!

thanks man! ya definitely, i'm one who, when injured, just adapts/switches it up and focuses on something else.. it's basically a reflex at this point because for as long back as i remember, i've been getting injured.. i broke my arm bad at 5 and from pretty much then on, working around injuries is a common thing for me.

in fact, im a natural lefty, but when i broke my arm at 5, i became righty (for sports) but i still eat lefty,write lefy, and stuff like that.. so as far back as i can remember, i've just been too hyperactive to stop and relax.. i imagine that if i hadn't been playing sports with my cast on, i would have continued to stay lefty..

interesting..

but ya man, mile goal is something i WANT to get back while getting my vert & sprint speed way up, definitely a weird combo.. my subconscious is annoyed with my running goal though, it would rather me sprint it seems.. and short sprints at that..

i think it's entirely doable though, a mile isn't really THAT long, especially if you are running it in sub 5 minutes, then it becomes pretty damn fast.. if i was trying to improve my 5k+ then ya it would be very hard to achieve this..

i wonder what el garrouj's vert was, or DLRVJ/SLRVJ.. doubt he practiced it much but he does have some great bounce on the track, i mean you'd have to, to be able torun 3:48 minute mile.

peace man

ok ok.. flyin!

7/19/2010

bw = 162
soreness = nothing
aches/injuries = left plantar fasciae/heel


PRE-DUNK-SESSION DIET: (some people here will want to know)
- BW = 162
- 2:30pm: wakeup: glass of whole milk + instant coffee mixed in + 2 sweet`n`low , water + propel
- 4:00pm: small amounts of water + propel
- 6:00pm: 75% of glass of whole milk
- 7:00pm: small turkey sandwhich + pickel + 75% glass of milk
- BW = 162
- 9:00pm = dunks


workout #1: dunk session
- btw, i do a sprint warmup before all my dunk sessions now.. havn't been logging it for the last 2 weeks or so.. but i do 10's and 15's or so on the court.. like ~8 full speed sprints... just fyi.. fires me up good.. then i do my jump warmup in between or after.

- man i was FLYING early on.. on my ground cam angle in the vid, then their stupid full court became lazy with a bunch of fast breaks so i could barely get dunks in while they were playing.. anyway, hit 3/10, tried a two hander off dribble but i just didn't put enough into it.
- banged my wrist pretty hard a bunch of times.. middle finger tip is swolen.

- MR tuck jumps: 6x10



workout #2:
- 401 walking lunges each leg (802 total).. rained out, sidewalk slippery, had to be careful in some spots
- neutral grip pullups: BW @ 3 x 5 ballistic, BW + 20 lb @ 2 x 3
- natural ghr: 10 x ~10+ partials

natural ghr was very strong even after all those lunges... hit some very good reps.. even though i hit good reps though, i cramped up quicker overall.. hamstrings just fatigued.

that's about it!

peace

How long do the lunges take? What is the primary purpose of them?
