Somehow I was in the mood to watch a famous trial video and saw a highlight of the OJ simpson trial 2:36.19 on youtube.
It was interesting. Wanted see what made it soo big and most covered trial in america.

Some of you saw the case, I was suprised with the verdict, but the prosecutor did not solid evidence, even though what they did have good but circumstancial I guess.

I enjoy watching trial cases. This is the third, I saw the oscar pistorius and conrad murray.

I didn't get time to go to the track because of some stuff I had to do at home. So improvised with an in house training, I really like the reverse hyperextension exercise. It was comfortable not very challenging.

Same warm up, the wind was low and from diagonal behind, did 6 reps of 34m until my quad sprain started to flare up. got the following times.

- 4.6
- 4.59
- 4.47
- 4.50
- 4.47
- 4.65

Was a nice day, until the sprain started flaring up, then did BSS at 35kg dumbells 2 x 4, same with single leg RDL's 2 x 6

Todays workout

I felt less powerful in my runs, the wind was blowing from the front and at the side it was all over the place and I was running into a head wind, low/medium
and on the third run my quads sprain came up again and was sore.

- 4.75
- 4.82
- 4.81

my quad was sore so did quick ankle hops, tuck jumps and step ups with 15kg dumbells and 20kg dumbells.
then ended my workout.

irritating when the sprain comes up during my runs, I wanted to start running 8s again but nothing I can do about it.

Wasn't feeling that well, but well enough to train, just a little sore throat, so brought a jumper with me.

I did my regular warm ups
  a march
  a skip
  a run

Then the following workouts
  34m sprints  - just found out the lane width were about 1.2m
     - 4.72 windy a bit head wind Left leg
     - 4.68
     - 4.78
     - 4.70

   my quad starting to sprain again, so stopped my runs. did average effort ankle hops and then tuck jumps 2 x 8

 then took it easy on my quads
 reverse calf raises - hard to add load to this workout so i placed a weight plate on the tip of my feet and did the movement which dragged and pushed the weight plate.

 then did forward back lunges holding 30kg dumbells 2 x 3-5
 (you step forward by lifting knee high then place down on the floor in front then lunge down then come up forward and up and lift the back knee up and stand then you bring the same leg you raised back and go into a reverse lunge lunge down and then up and step back to original position.

single leg romanian deadlift 30kg dumbells 1 x 5 but the difference is once coming up lift knees up and go upto my toes diffcult but tried.

end of workout

weight was 63.35kg

It was a nice workout, sessions runs 2 1/2 hour so have less time. But a good session. Got 8 runs in without my quads troubling me. The BSS felt comfortable hopefully I will try to rep it up to 10 if I can will need a lot of effort.

It was a quite cold slightly windy day, the warm up was ok for the a walk but at the a skip, I felt a little strain on my lower back a small spot nothing serious just a  little pain i felt in the lower back but this was when i would be upright doing the a skip, then during the run as well.

but didn't think much of it as it was very small pain.

Then I did my sprints 34m with the following sprints.

 - 4.81
 - 4.81
 - 5.03
 - 5.03

Lol, look that exactly the same time for both legs, I just was shocked at how bad the time was, thinking the runs from tuesday effected todays performance, it was windy towards me so I was running into a slight head wind, but I have never gotten time this bad before with head wind. so I stopped and my quads were sore also a little.

So i did quick ankle hops and tuck jumps and then went to the gym and avoid the bss which would further strain my quads and instead did the following.

high box step up wth dumbells @0kg x 5, 10kg x 5, 15kg x 5, 20kg x 5
single leg romanian deadlifts @25kg x 10

can't remember the others i did.

yo seifullaah,

have you been stretching your quads/hip flexors post workout? i see you have stretching in the cooldown, just wondering though.

my calfs are crazy tight too, i've been using my fingers/thumbs instead of rolling them.

my calfs are crazy tight too, i've been using my fingers/thumbs instead of rolling them.

I stretch the quads, the hips and the hamstrings and calves separately.

e.g leaning down for hamstring stretch, I place knees on bench hold on to my foot behind and lunge down to stretch the quads and lean on wall with one foot behind other and push hips forward to stretch calves, I sit one leg crossed over the bench and press my stomach onto my feet for hips alot of hip stretches.

thanks for the advice will use my fingers thumbs for my calves. I think the tight calves maybe the reason for my shins being sore.

played some tennis today, it's very difficult to serve correctly by throwing it in the air and using wrist to serve down, I am just terrible at it.
but enjoyed it 1 to 1 1/2hr.

I was thinking about my max squat rep at 60kg, I realized that some people have been including the weight of the bar to their stats not here but else where, which got me thinking that 60kg is my max squat not including the weight of the bar so if I was to include the weight of the bar that would be +20kg totalling 80kg, which is over 1x BW.

Is this how you guys do it meaning my squat is not all that bad or do you guys exclude the weight of the bar on your journal and my squat still sucks lol.
