7/14-15 weekend philly tourney

Took a header during the first half of the first game of the first day and had to get 9 stitches to patch my lacerated lip back up. Sat out the rest of day 1.

Day 2: extremely bouncy, top speed peaked. If i had to choose between peaked throws, conditioning, explosiveness or boinciness/top speed i would almost always pick top speed. I felt so light and probably would have pr'ed if i ran 40 or 100 that day. Unfortunately it started storming during the first game and the rest of the tournament got cancelled. Welp.

In other news im starting a job where i will be working a 60 hr daily graveyard work week with no weekends off and including driving. So far its alright but is going to get intense real soon.

-explosive through the roof. Focus pretty off. It's weird, days when Im an athletic freak my conditioning sucks and days when I can run forever my speed is usually average. It might be correlated with diet.

that is an interesting observation. might be worth logging diet for a little while to see if you can find a clear correlation?

big ups on the squat PR, btw.

My idea was that high explosiveness = high carb, while high fat = good endurance. Probably the explosiveness was because i did some heavy neural work: 2-3rep trap bar, squat 5's, had multiple practices, then no lower body for a few days and had a mini peak. I highly suspect the conditioning is because of high fat though. Additional evidence: is that normally I sweat insane amounts but during the double weekend practice despite it being really hot i didnt sweat almost at all. The lack of sweat makes my throws so much smoother, almost worth cutting down carbs just for that.

In my experience, high carb is always the way to go, endurance and/or explosiveness.

For myself, need some saturated fat/cholesterol to feel strong (eggs are a miracle), without it I personally feel like i'm broken. High fat/lower carb diets tank my endurance.

The vast majority of middle/long distance endurance athletes are high carb as well. You get some high fat folks in the "ultra" endurance realm. But when we're talking endurance with a speed component, hardly anyone performs at the elite level on high fat/low carb etc.

Just my 2cents.

I mean if you feel it's working, don't listen to me that's for sure. Also don't know if by "high fat" you mean high fat low carb, or just high fat in addition to carbs etc.

By high fat I mean 3-4 days before I'm at like 50:25:25 fat:carbs:protein and the day before and on the day of cpmpetition I'll carb load above daily caloric value while continuing to get fats in.

7/16

2 league games - 3 total hours
Got in as a sub. Played pretty well although maybe somewhat selfishly. Was good all around. Drenched in sweat early on and my throws looked worse then they should have.

I can't do deep jump stop plants on turf, just can't get enough traction. The alternative is chop steps but I have to take 4 chop steps instead of 2 to get a good change of direction. Neither is optimal and I couldnt efficiently guard the best cutter with thia dilemma. The solution is probably better body control or more chop step practice. Working through some eccentrics and iso's at chop step joint angles would also be helpful. I feel like this is the main parameter that is holding back my game from being elite.

what is this 60 hour/week job? are you making overtime for 20 hours? that seems unsustainable and also what business would do that?

ah gotcha. ya that sounds better than what I was thinking.

also, fat the day before really settles my stomach. if i eat too little fat the day before, stomach can feel much more "hungry" on race day, and i've found that to be a very bad sign.

Cleaning a bunch of stores + teaching preschool. A lot of it is driving between stores. Its just a summer job so you're right it is unsustainable

cleaning stores AND teaching pre-school? you sure that's not two jobs?

Hahahaha, no I am cleaning stores and then teaching pre-school at the stores once they open. Jk, it's two jobs.. Only about 6 hours is at the preschool though. Ya got me. I am bad at properly articulating things when I'm writing stream of consciousness.

7/18

Will have to work extra this week cause I'm still sort of learning the ropes so it's taking me longer to adapt. I'm confident that I'll get it down though, although this is obviously a hit to all other life pursuits, including training. Will try to squeeze something in tomorrow.

150 min league game. This is a lower level league and I stepped up, was a vocal and assertive leader and mostly carried it to an 11-15 win. Got a lot of good reps in as a short deep in zone. My inside flick got point blocked, was kind of locked into my throwing routine and didn't throw any other types of breaks: this is bad, I have plenty of other options.

7/20

So far I have racked up 40 hours working and 15 hours driving since monday. I felt really good the first 3 days but today I started feeling pretty sluggish.

As I pulled in for my 12-4am shift, I get a text saying the manager wanted someone else to do it. So I decide to get a 3-day trial for the Planet Fitness nextdoor and caught up on some sleep after.

ss:
-BSS: 65's 3*8
-alt. lunge jumps 3*16

rows 140 3*8

clap pushups 3*10

weighted v-abdominal machine 30 3*8

leg press 450 *8
4 other exercises

bike *30 mins @ 120-130 HR

felt terrible going into leg press. literally too tired too do hypertrophy, definitely no dynamics or strength. Just cranked out some aerboic volume and passed out in the car.
Planet Fitness gets a worse rap than it should. They only have smith machines and DB's up to 65 but also some core machines I've never seen before.

~~vid broken?~~

EDIT: there it is

FP · « **Reply #762 on:** July 24, 2018, 12:40:46 am »

7/21
practice *180 mins
-heavy rain throughout, 5 throwaways - 3 passes into contested space (2/3 baited), 2 badly executed: decision-making not great but the flip side is I am more loose and sociable.

7/23
throws *150
top speed mechanics stuff *15 mins

Waiting on leadership to tell me whether I'm on O or D line. Either way I will focus on maxing out my agility, and the rest of my training will depend on their decision.
