Feeling decent despite the soreness, mostly in my posterior chain

Soft tissue work - just feet and subscapularis - in a rush

bodyweight at home without shoes = ? probably over 82kg

BBall practice session at NS outdoor courts - 80 mins

1) 15 mins dribble and ball control drills
2) 10 mins shooting drills
3) medium to high intensity moves, shots, layups
4) A few test jumps after 40 mins, and the ocassional trick dunk on the 8 feet netball rims.
5) 3x band lightened jumps, with reset

Went to a different court for a change of pace, and it worked, good energy and intensity today.
But legs obviously still fatigued so not jumping my best.
Probably 3 inches lower, but I still felt explosive and powerful, while my feet/heels felt good enough again to run around on the balls of my feet.
The last time I was here at this court was a few months back, and I still jumped a few inches higher today, even in a fatigued state

Feeling decent, no drained feeling at all.
Upper body is not particularly sore either, apart from my forearms, which both decided to cramp up last night whenever I bent my arms up....

Achey ankles/feet, and heels still achey, but better than than they have felt over the last 2 weeks.
Legs starting to get that light explosive snappy feeling, but still a bit sore.

Tuesday 16th June 2020

Legs feeling OK, but with slightly achey heels.

bodyweight without shoes = 82+kg in winter clothing

Soft tissue work - lower body

at home - Week 8 - Lower body A - Heavy

5 min Walk, and some backwards walking to warmup.

peterson setups BW x12
supported ATG split squat BW x12 + 30 sec hold at bottom on last rep
Goblet squat 10kg x12

alternating sets 2 mins rest
A1) Kettlebell swings onto toes - 24kg 4x6
A2) Power cleans + front squats - in flat, minimal trail running shoes

clean complex 20kg x8
power clean + 3 high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 40kg
power clean + 2 high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 50kg, 55kg
power clean + high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 60kg - current best high hang power clean
power clean + high hang power clean (missed) + 3 front squats x 65kg
2x power cleans + 3 front squats x 70kg

60kg high hang power clean is exactly what my e1RM on high bar squats says I should be doing, it's always around 43% of it, 140kg/ 305lbs as of today.
And this is the same as my high catch power snatch. My power clean is usually around 63%, so 90kg now.
Now all I have to do is get this to my body weight and I'll should vertical jump 40 inches, and 44 inches off a run - the bare minimum I need to do a clean dunk off the dribble
Will need a 180kg squat, 396lbs at 75kg/165lbs bodyweight.....

Squats -

High bar squat - barefeet - 70kg x5
oly shoes - 80kg x4, 90kg x3, 100kg x2, 110kg x1

105kg, 231lbs x10 @ RPE 9
rest 7 mins
110kg, 242lbs x 6 @ RPE 8

105kg was a bit too light on High bar squats, wanted to do 2 sets of 6-8 reps.... oh well 105kg x10 = 140kg, 305lbs e1RM ... about 1.72 x bodyweight
So I should be jumping 28 inches off vertical and 32 off a run, and so I am.
Will use 110kg next session, or maybe 115kg, considering I'm expecting to be stronger by then... something over 80% of 1RM

rest 4 mins
Front Squat 90kg, 198lbs x3 @ RPE 7

Thought about doing another set, but I'll leave it for future sessions

Safety bar squat 90kg x3, 100kg x2
Sub-maximal explosive squats -
75% of e1RM - 1+ mins rest
102.5kg, 225lbs 4x4 @ RPE 7 on last set

Gees these felt hard as hell compared to high bar squats!
Hits your upper/mid back and abs way harder, and feels unstable- like across between a front squat and good morning, in how it pushes you forward. on the way up.
No wonder I have a hard time progressing on the SSB, even a sub-maximal weight feels near limit.
So I will no longer consider the SSB as a primary movement, just use it as an accessory

session highlights

This group in Oly shoes - alternating sets 2 mins rest

B1) SSB Good Morning onto toes - down to near parallel, explode onto toes
slow eccentric down to safeties, 1 sec unload, explode onto toes - 30kg x5, 50kg x5
65kg 3x5 @ RPE 8 on last set
B2) Wall tib raise - body at 40 degree angle - in oly shoes BW x3, x10, x12 @ RPE 8
B3) SSB single leg calf raise - arm supported - both sides back to back
1 inch elevation - 65kg x5, 90kg x3, 95kg x12 @ RPE 9
B4) single leg SSB Knee over toes soleus calf raise - 1 inch elevated - 60kg x15 @ RPE 9

C1) Nordic curl - natural GHR - 8 inch aerobic step + rolled yoga mat on hip - controlled eccentrics BW x 3.5 unassisted + 2 assisted
C2) AB wheel rollouts - on feet, straight legs - 5 feet from wall - BW x7.5
C3) SSB Single Leg kneeling Deadlift/ King Deadlift - BW x 10, 30kg x15 @ RPE 9

Thanks.
One murders my anterior chain and the other the posterior!

Although I'm surprised how quickly I gained strength on the rollouts.
Before, doing rollouts with bent knees, and partial ROM was super hard, now I do a set of 10 going all the way to the floor as a warmup and it feels like nothing

But straight legs is quite a lot harder, the ab contraction is intense, in the same way the GHR does the hammies!
Plus the upper rectus femoris as well.

Forgot to pull curtains across the window so woke up early when the sun hit :/
Lower body still sore from 4 days ago, while upper body, which I trained 2 days ago feels great....

Soft tissue work - for lower body, just briefly

bodyweight at home without shoes = 82.5kg

BBall practice and jump training session at WLC outdoor courts - 69 mins

15 mins dribble and ball control drills
15 mins shooting drills
22 mins practicing moves vs chair, and cones
Jumps after 52 mins, and a few 8 feet netbell rim dunks
JumpStretch medium band lightened jumps, with reset x 5

Cooldown - backwards walking up 35 degree slope - 2 mins, 2.5 mins

stretch

Went earlier in the day, and nicely warm for winter day at that.
Way less people at this time of the day, so I had my pick of any court.

Productive, but felt sore and unrecovered. Everytime I did a jump my hamstrings would scream.
Still got some decent jumps but 2 inches lower than current bests
9'5" paused vertical jump
9'8.5" 1 step vertical jump
9'10" approach jump
9'5" off 1 leg

Both lower Achilles achey on some jumps, and left quad tendon
The band lightened jumps got me to eye level with 8 feet netball rim, so about 4 inches higher than unassisted, and the landings felt rough, high eccentric forces....

A little beat up from yesterday, but after soft tissue work and putting on compression pants I was good to go

bodyweight without shoes = 81.9kg in winter clothing

Apart from sore calves and erectors in the morning, by the afternoon, not feeling too bad, funny, better than I felt yesterday....
My heels just feels better after the calf raises I do
Legs feel strong and snappy as well.

I have been dialing down my squat volume based on the INOL measurement, keeping it under 3 for the week total, so that may be helping

Whole lower body still pretty sore

BBall practice session at NS outdoor courts - 72 mins

1) 15 mins dribble and ball control drills
2) 10 mins shooting drills
3) medium to high intensity moves, shots, layups
4) A few test jumps after 55 mins, and the occasional trick dunk on the 8 feet netball rims.

Heels felt OK, but left quad tendon was a bit achey.

Jumps were decent for 2 days after squats, but lower than current bests.
Touched 9'7" off vertical so 27 inches, about an inch under potential
And 9'7" with 2 hands on approach jump, so around 31 inches.

Going to transition to single arm pushups as 2 handed is too easy and a pain to load with a backpack especially with feet elevated.
Plus single arm also loads up the rotational core strength!
The last time I tried em, my left shoulder hurt real bad, felt fine today - all the stretching (pec minor/major), thoracic and overhead mobility, serratus and cuff work paying off.

I think due to only doing 115kg 2x3 sub-maximal back off sets of high bar, vs 2x6 110kg, 107.5kg today
Upper back was not feeling too strong, which the high bar might have fatigued.

Safety bar squat
Sub-maximal explosive squats, cluster set -
30 secs rest
Narrow stance, hip width - 72.5kg, 160lbs 3x6 (+2.5kg, +1 rep per set)

This group in Oly shoes - alternating sets 2 mins rest

B1) SSB Good Morning onto toes - down to near parallel, explode onto toes
slow eccentric down to safeties, 1 sec unload, explode onto toes - 30kg x5, 50kg x6, 60kg x5
70kg x7 @ RPE 9 on last set (+1 rep, -1 set)

B2) Wall tib raise - body at 40 degree angle - in oly shoes BW x5, x16, x15 @ RPE 9 (+1 rep)
B3) SSB single leg calf raise - arm supported - both sides back to back
1 inch elevation - 70kg x5, 85kg x3, 95kg x15 @ RPE 9 (+1 rep)
B4) single leg SSB Knee over toes soleus calf raise - 1 inch elevated - 60kg x18, rest 30 secs, x8 @ RPE 9 (+1rep)

C1) Nordic curl - natural GHR - 8 inch aerobic step + rolled yoga mat on hip - controlled eccentrics BW x 7 assisted
Dang, not a single unassisted rep today, too fatigued from other stuff... ehhh guess squats do hit the hammies a bit...

C2) AB wheel rollouts - on feet, straight legs - 5 feet from wall - BW x12 @ RPE 9 (+2 reps)
Once I hit 15 reps I will make it harder, increase ROM and no wall. I'm almost at full ROM.

C3) SSB Single Leg kneeling Deadlift - 1 hand supported - BW 3x3, 30kg x3, 35kg x15

Sissy squat 50% ROM x 50
Jefferson curl 20kg x5, 27.5kg x10 with a hold, and 30 sec hold on last rep

Stretched ISO holds

Straight arm pullover across foam roller 5kg x1+ min
