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

FOAM ROLL/LACROSSE BALL/SMR AFTER WORKOUTS AND ON REST DAYS.

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

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


BW = 174, odd, must be getting fat ::)
SORENESS = hamstrings, left tibialis anterior, lower back
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up

- depth jump 5,5,5
awful, legs dead

- MR half tuck x 25,25,25
same deal, just slow

- speed box squat 10 x 2 x 225
one minute rests. box a little too high with 20kg plate, should use 35lb plate next time

- pull down 10 x 90,90,90

- bar roll out 10 x 45,55,55,55

- stretch

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up

- sprint 1 x 10y
didn't do second cause i was worried about losing my space under the hoop, people were trying to encroach

- DSVJ x 3

- DLRVJ x ~12
shite, best couple were 32. i should look back but it seems like i'm on a shitty:shitty:good cycle with my jumping.

- MR half tuck x 20,20,20
no endurance, usually 25 is easy but calves were getting super tight. weird

- squat MSEM 3 x 295,315

- OHP 3 x 5 x 115

- stretch

disappointed, although i wasn't surprised, even though i got a GREAT night's sleep last night. second stressful week in a row at work. hopefully next week will be a little more chill.

btw, jumping every workout won't help you much if your legs are dead. I don't think u need to add that note anymore to your log. imho.
"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

i won't elaborate too much, but you do have to sacrifice RFD for strength and max strength for RFD sometimes so once you realize that, you see how jumping all the time isn't necessary, it will come in the end. It may even be detrimental in too high of a quantity in you're on a strength phase but your note probably is just to enforce that motor pattern. I've came upon this b/c I think RFD competes for strength so if you try to do both at the same time, it's just really hard fr the nervous system to pick which one to adapt to.

^^^ motor pattern reinforcement was the right answer.

yesterday played in a dodgeball tournament to raise money for pediatric cancer or something. arm and shoulder are SORE.

today played touch football for an hour and a half or so. fun, chill, it was nice out. good to run around a bit.

right arm and shoulder still very sore from dodgeball tournament. high volume, high intensity throwing will do that. also i slept really poorly last night. need to keep weekend sleep a bit more consistent with the rest of the week. otherwise everything gets thrown off. did not get a chance to jump tonight because i worked until 7:45 and by the time i got to the gym a rugby team had taken over the court to do some exercises.

BW = ???
SORENESS = right arm, shoulder and lat; hip flexors
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate to high

- warm up
spent extra time skipping rope, good idea, getting better at it

- depth jump 2 x 5
surprisingly good

- squat 5 x 280,290,300
legs very strong but elbow bugging a bit. scary given last fall's persistent elbow pain. i think it was just the lingering fatigue, though.

- decline situps x10, +25 x 10,10,10
arm too much of a mess to do bar roll outs

- stretch

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right elbow, outside of left knee
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprint 2 x 10y

- DSVJ x 3

- DLRVJ x ~15
shit-tastic

disappointed. elbow was really bugging on squat set up. at first the pain went away after i unracked the bar but by the end it was bothering me during the sets. hoping that it's all better by friday.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe, right elbow after the start of the workout
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprint 2 x 10y

- DSVJ x 3
decent

- DLRVJ x ~8
started pretty well, got the tennis ball out, got a couple of decent jumps with it and then landed awkwardly on my right toe. lots of pain, total CNS shutdown, i could barely get a knuckle over the rim. cut it off. also got really pissed about it and whipped the tennis ball against the wall. elbow, which had been fine, was not pleased. dumbass.

- MR half tuck 3 x 30
was gonna try to up the reps a bit on these but cut them out because of toe.

- squat 5 x 300,300,300
easy and strong except last two reps. i was pissed off, which helped.

- DB row 2 x 10e x 75
too heavy

- decline sit up + 35 x 3 x 10
one more workout at this weight and then bump to 45. second set was done as explosively as possible.

- a few random bar roll outs and two standing ab wheel rollouts
a friend was trying to figure out what core exercise to add to his routine so i suggested bar roll outs. he didn't get it so i demonstrated. he couldn't do them at all, even with 65, so out came the ab wheel. had to show off. :D

considering doing a tough mudder in september. seems like a ton of fun and not that much additional training would be necessary. probably a bit more cardio but i should be doing that anyway. and some gymnastics stuff, which i want to be doing anyway, too.

considering doing a tough mudder in september.

I've been talked into doing the one in Wisconsin this September. I'm not looking forward to the extra cardio & strength loss that will come with training for it but I enjoy a good challenge and it looks like this will be one. 

Good luck if you decide to do it.

oh man i'm not gonna train for it. not much, anyway. i'll do some extra cardio over the next few months if i decide to go for it, but not so much that it'll detract from regular training. if i feel like it's slowing or taking away gains, i'll stop training and run the thing cold. doesn't look very hard.
