fwiw, convention for seconds and fractions of a second is "." so 14.50, not 14:50. 14:50 would be a very good time for a 5k.

but props. 

11 July 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~84,5kg
Soreness : quads and hamstrings, 3/5 (!?!?!?)
Injuries/aches :  shins splints a bit

I guess yesterdays' sprint-PR fest was not for free.

ME RIM JUMPS:
SVJ : max = 26,5''
Dropstep : max = 31'' , SEASON BEST!
1-step-DLRVJ : max = 31'' , ties season best.
2-steps-DLRVJ : max = 30,5'' , oops
Full runup DLRVJs : max = 31,5'' , SEASON BEST!!! 

Mixed emotions again. Got 2 PRs, also runup and plant felt very smooth and efficient.
However there was a power link missing. I felt like i was capable of jumping even higher, it just wasn't happening.
31,5'' is awesome though, it is milestone because 31'' for me is exactly thumb base at rim. Going higher than that brought me to the 'base of palm at rim' area. But it not repeatable.

The boost shoes feel amazing so far, although too early. For the bball guys, walking on them and landing after jumps feels like air max, but sprinting and jumping feels responsive and firm like zoom.

They feel amazing and I did PR on all kinds of sprints as jumps as you see. But it is too early to attribute it all to them. Maybe it was just a good week or maybe switching to any other new shoe would work. Let's see what happens next.
SLRVJs, I did them in the end. Legs were too tired, maximum controllable velocity too low. Still got 27'' though, I felt like I would get 25'' or less.

why? you're still progressing, are you not?

Agreed

Well, this is something that i was thinking too. But this was a short-term peaking phase, it was supposed to be 2 weeks and i've taken it to 4 already. Yes i am progressing, but i was progressing on the other phases too and on my previous programs. I feel like i am neglecting a lot of important factors doing only supramax halfs. No deep squats, no pchain work, nothing. It was ok on the beginning, vert peak was the goal anyway, but being 4 weeks into it already makes it feel like i am overdoing it, like the only thing i can get out of it now is a 0,5'' season best RVJ that will be lost the minute i stop too.
Also, i am only about 3 weeks away from vacation so there is no time to do anything structured. So my thoughts were to go on a planned overreaching phase ( lots of volume ) until i leave and taper on that on vacation time. Having done 7 weeks of halfs and then 3 weeks off would be seriously neglecting/sabotaging strength ( which is my main weakness anyway ), no?

What do you use for bodyfat measuring? What site, I mean.

You Willoughby athlete!

WTF does that mean, by the way?

The Willoughby athlete weight is calculated by dividing the cube of the height (in inches) by 1906 [Thanks to Konrad Balcerak for spotting a mistake in the text prior to August 2006]. The Willoughby athlete waist is calculated by multiplying the height by 0.4584.

David P Willoughby, who was a champion body builder in the early twentieth century, performed extensive anthropometrics measurements on highly-conditioned (male) athletes and found a direct proportionality between waist and height. His ideal form had a WHtR of 45.8%. Willoughby also tabulated data for the morbidly obese, and found the same proportionality between waist and height, but with a WHtR of 57.7%.

Interestingly, although in the Metropolitan Life Tables the weight values are proportional to the square of the height (in accordance with the calculation of Quetelet's Index or BMI), in Willoughby's data the weights are proportional to the cube of the height (in accordance with Rohrer's Index).

The Willoughby athlete weight is then the average ideal weight for male athletes; strength-trainers may weigh more, while endurance athletes will weigh less. Are you a Willoughby athlete? A check on this is to compare your waist measurement to the Willoughby athlete waist calculation.

Can we please talk more about it? Fascinating!
