High velocity peaking gym session - So this requires a little explanation. This is the last block of triphasic training: strength (2-4 months), power (1-2 months), peaking (2-3 weeks). Due to not the best planning, time constraint, injuries and vacations I've pretty much been forced to skip the power block and the strength block was incomplete.
Here's how the peaking block works:
-try to complete as many reps as possible of an exercise in a given time period (10-20s)
-use exercises close to sport movements, use weight 25-55% of max
-pull into the eccentric as fast as possible, keep isometric as short as possible, explode out of it concentrically as fast as possible (pretty much dive-bomb every rep, maximizing stretch reflex). Moving the weight as fast as possible is a priority.
The main idea behind it is to be able to override body's protective mechanism which only allows a fraction of your fibers to fire as well as maximizing stretch reflex efficiency.
Half squat (AMRAP/15seconds)
205 8x12-16
BSS (Vertical shin, AMRAP/15seconds)
R:30's 5x10-12
L:25's 5x10-12
Bent over cable knee drives (supported, AMRAP/15seconds)
27.5 3x11-15 x ea. leg (weight too high, slowing down)
Alternating Lunges (AMRAP/15seconds):
115 6x8-10
Weird sprint treadmill thing: 4x3 intervals of 6-10 steps focusing on fastest possible turnover
Stretches x 15 mins
Actually feeling kind of beat. Back and knee still janky. Back in particular is concerning, I think I might have a bulging disc. Luckily this sort of workout doesn't stress either one too much except those cable knee drives.
