G'damn I'm sore as hell!
Walking upstairs and bending over is torture
Posterior chain and VMO

haven't done too much different, must due to the novel stimulus of sets of 10 on squats

Still brutally sore all over, especially my quads, hamstrings and glutes, but a little less stiff.

Feel ready to go tomorrow, but left quad tendon is still achey but feeling better each day.

Did a crap load of stretches and ISO stretches for whole body, especially my upper body while lying in bed upon waking.

Tuesday 9th February 2021

Another combo BBall/jumps and weights day today, which I won't try again next week... damn tiring with the volume of squats!

bodyweight at home without shoes = 88.5 kg

Soft tissue work - lower body and some upper

BBall practice session at WLC outdoor courts - 65 mins

1) 15 mins dribble and ball control drills
2) medium to high intensity moves, shots, layups, threes
3) jumps at the 35 min mark, and a few dunks on 8 feet netball rim

Didn't go too hard on the jumps. A few aches in my left quad tendon, but felt OK after that

Cooldown

Sit in bottom of narrow stance squat for 2 mins

Upper body stuff

Netball rim pullups to sternum - Hang and 20 scap shrugs to warmup, BW x 2 singles
3x5,4,3 @ RPE 10 on last set

Regressed...

Close grip triangle pushup - BW 2x9, x8 explosive

Damn, getting hands 1-2 inches airborne at full extension

Inverted rows BW x12, x11 @ RPE 8
Straight bar dip BW x12, x10 @ RPE 8

L sit hold on edge of bench x10secs, x30secs (+10 secs)
Feeling pretty easy now!

at home - Lower Base building week 3

Knee over toes, heel raised split squat ISO - 40secs x 3
seated band clams - 30secs x 3

Squats

Did these before the back squat of the same load
Front Squat supports 40kg, 60kg, 80kg, 100kg

High bar squat
bare feet 20kg x10, 40kg x pause with 10 deep breaths + 10 reps, x3, 60kg x10, x3

2) 100kg, 220lbs x10, x9 @ RPE 8
97.5kg x10 @ RPE 9
90kg x10 @ RPE 8

Felt tired so was hard due to that, but 110kg x 10 felt surprisingly smooth and fast, had a few reps in the tank, so it looks like 10 rep max is around 120kg now.
So e1Rm at 160kg. Now to get it to 140kg, bumping e1Rm to 180+kg

Weights were a touch too heavy, not able to do all sets at constant weight.
Pretty brutal session!

Pretty sore all over, especially in my hamstrings and glutes, but less than last week, which I would rate as 10/10, this week 7/10, so body has adapted a tiny bit

Heel and ankles feeling much better, seems like the slow tempo seated calf raise are doing something.

Tuesday 16th February 2021

I didn't expect that stuff I did a few days ago to mack me sore, being light and low effort, but damn was pretty sore the day after, but not too bad today.
Especially my lower back and hamstrings from the jefferson curl

bodyweight at home without shoes = 88.5 kg

Soft tissue work - lower body and upper

BBall practice session at WLC outdoor courts - 70 mins

1) 15 mins dribble and ball control drills
2) medium to high intensity moves, shots, layups, threes
3) jumps at the 35 min mark, and a few dunks on 8 feet netball rim

Went fairly hard today, and y left quad tendon onlya ched on the first ahrd jump, felt Ok after that.
Single leg jumps felt good as well.
But right outer hip area, glute medius tendon I think started to flare up again from the aggressive penultimate step pushoff...
The pushoff and twisting sidways puts a lot of stress on that area
Once I fix back up again will change my approach jump form to more relaxed

Jumps still lower than my current best thanks being a lot heavier, but only a few inches.
Will start to lean down again.
