Reading a paper I found on Charlie Francis's forum about p-chain development. Thinking about adding GHR as a lower-body assistance exercise.
Here's my idea for the next few weeks, would appreciate anyone's thoughts. Club season starts May 1, so I'll have to adjust my schedule based on that. Saturdays will be draining and we'll probably start having some track work during the week. Also I'm going to Afghanistan for two weeks in mid-May, so that will fuck with training quite a bit. Time to go really hard until then cause I'm not going to have a whole lot of time to do anything but work while I'm out there. For the time being, ABA BAB split, 3x/week.
Workout Awarm up, incl. glute activation
DLRVJ x dropoff
stiff-leg ankle hops 2-3x20
jump squats 3x3 (need to get that jump mat back so I can see any improvement on this)
squats 3-5x3-5
GHR 2-3x5-8
lower body single leg exercise (e.g. step-ups, BSS) 2-3x8-10
stretch
Workout Bwarm up, incl. glute activation
DLRVJ x dropoff
stiff-leg ankle hops 2-3x20
bench/OHP 3-5x3-5
row//chinups/pullups 3-4x6-10
core work (e.g. med ball throws, crunches, planks, woodchoppers, etc.)
stretch
At least two off days per week I'll do either LISS or a tempo run a la Charlie Francis (1.5-2.5km total distance. Or, once ultimate starts, a fartlek-style run with the team. Also, the guy who manages my gym said he'd buy a vertec for the gym if I can find 10 people to join up. Anyone in the DC area want to join a great gym?
