- DLRVJ x 12-15
 :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record:
out of absolutely nowhere, was jumping very well. several easily at 32, one at 32.5, one possible 33. but i've never had that much consistency at that height. so call it a volume PR if nothing else.


 :highfive:  :headbang:

I am absolutely sure you will have many sessions like that from now on.
If no major derails happen I expect you to be at 36'' or so before xmas, no BS!
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

i just realized that two days ago was the two-year anniversary of this log.

downside: i'm still far from achieving my goal
upside: i'm still dedicated and i'm still working

work. work. work. work. work. work.

i will fucking get there.

ADD THIS NOTE TO EVERY POST SO YOU KEEP REMEMBERING: JUMP EVERY WORKOUT. IF THERE'S NO SPACE, FIND SPACE.

FOAM ROLL BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT, LACROSSE/TENNIS BALL SMR AFTER EVERY WORKOUT.

STANDING QUAD/HAM/CALF/ITB/PEC STRETCHING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVERY HOUR OR SO.

KEEP SWEETS TO A MINIMUM. MOAR PROTEIN. MOAR VEGGIES.


BW = ???
SORENESS = a tiny bit in upper legs
ACHES/INJURIES = right big toe
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- SMR x 50-60 minutes

- handstand practice x a bit

basically wanted to roll the ever-loving shit out of my legs. mission accomplished.

FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- sprints 4 x 15y
felt pretty fast, actually

- DSVJ submax x 8

- DLRVJ x ~15
low, 30-31, but i'm not too pissed about it

- MR half tuck x 20,15,15

- jump squat 3 x 3 x 95
(was supposed to do 3 x 2, oops)

- squat MSEM 2 x 3 x 285
speedy and strong

- OHP x 3,3,F
85, 95, 8 x 105

- chin up x 8,8,8
weak last set

- stretch

not a bad workout, all in all. more sleep tonight than past two nights.

not enough veggies today or in general. otherwise diet has been pretty good.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left hip, right big toe
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprint 4 x 10y
not as fast as the other day, toe was bugging

- DSVJ x 5-6

- DLRVJ x 10-12
not great but not awful. left hip started hurting so i stopped. the hip pain is familiar, i had similar pain like four months ago. i think it's from planting. need to figure out what to do about that because i'm not gonna start planting RL.

- speed line hops 3 x 10s/e
22,22,22

- MR half tucks 3 x 20

- power snatch 6 x 1 x 40kg
very light, form still sucks. did a lot of reps with much lighter weight, as well. i like snatching, it's fun. gonna keep doing this and progress weights slowly over time. in the long run i think it'll be better than jump squatting although i'll probably keep doing some of that, too.

- squat MSEM 2 x 3
295, 2 x 300 == left hip bugging, did not do third rep although these were even easier than the first set at 295

- OHP x 5/3/F
95, 105, 6 x 115 == had another in the tank

- chin up x 8,8,10

- stretch

smoked my little brother

drive to basketball court

- DLRVJ x 25-30
pretty good, some 32ish, maybe a little more on the 9'7 rim. thought there would be a pump at my parents' house for my basketball but no dice, so no lobs. ball is flaaaat.

- BSS 10e x 120

- OHP 5 x 95, 2 x 125

for sure. i dunno about grown but i'm damn sure happy i fought through the malaise and got something done. i would be feeling mighty shitty about myself right now if i hadn't done that, even though at the time my whole body was saying "go home, there's always tomorrow, take it easy."

Props for pushing yourself , one of the major goals this year for me is to win those lazy/worn out from work days , which are a lot.
Gonna use that reminder on every post to see it everyday too, so double props!!!  :highfive:

BW = ???
SORENESS = glutes and hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES = left butt something or other, hip a tiny bit
FATIGUE = moderate to high

- warm up
extra time

- sprint 2 x 10y
fucked up right toe, not worth pushing through the other planned sprints

- DSVJ x 6-7

- DLRVJ x 6
first jump not bad, slipped on second jump, fml

- MR half tuck 3 x 20

- squat MSEM 3 x 295, x 305, 2 x 310
nice, but some sharp mild pain in deep in left buttcheek, as mentioned above

- OHP 5 x 85, 5 x 95, 6 x 105
a few reps left in the tank

- chin up x 9,8,5
likewise

- stretch

This week just sucks at work. Work outs have suffered as a result but I'm okay with it. Will get back on a normal schedule the week after next and can keep making progress from there.  :ibsquatting:

mostly pretty bad, switched hoops right toward the end and immediately started jumping better. that end of the gym was better lit, maybe that had something to do with it? no idea. then hip flared up and that was it. no sense pushing something nagging like that.

- jump squat 3 x 2 x 95

- squat MSEM 2 x 3 x 315
pretty strong, stick with this next time

- handstand futzing about, weighted sit ups

- stretch

Bad light majorly affects me , adarq too.
Doesn't even have to be dark , just less light is enough to cause 2-3'' loss.
Weird thing is everything feels normal , runup , speed , plant , power... but the jump is lower.

so weird. it's exactly the same for me, everything felt good but i just wasn't getting very high. i wonder what causes that?
