lol, thanks for the words of wisdom, vag. Feel free to offer coaching whenever you please; I do it all the time from my amateur seat over here

With respect to the length, I was more worried that it was too short, rather than too long. But I don't think that's going to be such a big deal, now that I think about it. I can give it a go, see where it takes me, and then reevaluate.

short blocks are great though from a stagnation standpoint, especially for that reason you listed.. you can really get a good idea of what this block is 'doing to your body/physiology' without dedicating a crazy long time to finding that out.

So it turns out that not squatting for a while means that you lose the form somewhat. In my case, apparently because I can't probably abduct my thighs anymore on the way up. So I'll start light.

warm up
shoot hoops
jump rope
stretching/mobility

work
SVJ 2x5
ice skater 2x10
pogo 2x10
jump squat 2x3x75
squat 2x5x255, 4x255 -- fail cause I was focusing too hard on abducting...oops
SS x3
--dips x10
--chin up x5

cool down
stretch

Nice and easy...

Bizarrely, I could not get to sleep last night until like 5:30. Woke up at 7:30 (normal time) and emailed my boss to say I'd be late to work, then slept until 10. WTF.

Ran ~2 miles, very easy pace, just to get blood circulating a bit. Stretched a bit.

Sore.

Journal edit: A la vag, I'm going to stick to the ratio set up. Green means a completed workout. SH=strength/hypertrophy, SP=strength/power, SR=speed/reactivity.

Yup , that workout-by workout thing is great!
Unfortunately cant keep with it this year because it's too extended ( 4 phases , 10 total cycles , 35 total workouts ) so im loging it by "phase". The 2-letters thing is a great idea though!

pain: none
soreness: hamstrings, glutes, shoulders

warm up
jump rope
foam roll hips and upper legs
core stretches from Stretch to Win, done and slow-fast pace
sprinter's warm ups

work
10y sprint x5, uphill
DSVJ RL x15 or so -- my dominant plant is LR, so I figured I'd get some practice going the other way
ice skater x2x5 -- balance was off
tuck jump x2x5 -- um, slow

REA squat x2x3x95 -- too heavy
jump squat x3x3x75 -- better
core circuit x3
--ab wheel x12
--leg lower x10
--side plank x30s/ea

cool down
stretch

Soreness definitely played a role in all the work today. This will all feel better once I've gotten into a groove.

My mood right now:

warm up
jog a lap
STW core stretches, fast tempo
sprinter's warm ups

work
superset until dropoff (ended up being 4 sets)
--20y sprint x3
--DLRVJ x5
plank circuit x3x90s

cool down
jog 2 laps
STW core stretches, slow tempo
ab and calf stretches

No soreness going in. Was getting up okay on a few of the jumps. I was jumping to a crossbar on a HS football field (sneakers on grass). If it was regulation, then I definitely had a couple 31" jumps, maybe even a bit more. But I don't know, so suffice it to say I was jumping okay. Sprints felt fine, I guess, although I don't have too much to compare them to. I forgot that I lost my stopwatch. Will need to be replacing that. Also, I can't sprint in Nike Frees anymore. Toes too fucked up. Need stiffer soles or shoes I can fit my orthotics in. Some club rugby team was practicing on the field (they pay for the lights to be on after dark, hurray) and a guy came over to me at one point and asked if I was interested in playing rugby, that they can always use speedy athletic guys. So I guess I looked fast, anyway

. Anyway, energy is high right now in case the word vomit didn't clue you in. This felt nice.
