I think lazyness also comes from not really believe in what you're doing.



Quote
For example I'm lazy doing plyos because I don't believe they're going to help me at this moment.

well, as humans we over-think things, we need to approach training somewhat as a daily fight or flight situation, which incorporates a variety of different energy systems/types of motor unit recruitment.. getting in some plyos/reactive work when you "don't think they help at the moment" becomes futile, because in essence, you need reactive/ballistic work almost daily to remain an athletic human capable of performing at any given moment to fight for your life.. taking out all reactive work in favor of just some slow training won't help in the realms of us being "prey".

so next time you think about not needing reactive work, picture a honey badger coming at you, and your only defense would be to sprint or MR tuck your way to safety.

peace :F

It would help if I GOMAD when it comes? It wouldn't want to mess around with a mad person would it?

PS. Honey badgers are nice.

Have you considered adding some steady-state cardio or extensive intervals? Improved aerobic fitness = quicker recovery between bouts of exercise, among other positive adaptations.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

I prefer the intervals. I like them more as an excercise (HIT ) and i like the training effect too.
Id do both :
day 1 steady cardio ( sth like 45' at 60% MHR , main focus fat loss )
day 2 intervals ( my fav is 2x10 80m , 15 sec run - 45 sec rest )

Problems are :
1) bored as i already said
2) cold and rainy outside

Let's see if i can man-the-fuck-up and put some more work...  :strong:

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 had to "google images" that, and then edit my post and replace "he" with "it".

Bball game. Endurance still bad. Only one 1-step jump at warmups , easy 31''

Didn't play at 2nd half , so going home i went to the park and did a few jumps ( concrete , bad light , 10' rim )

1x3 SVJs : 10'1'' ( 26'' )
1x3 dropsteps : 10'5'' ( 30'' )
1x3 1-step-DLRVJs : 10'6'' ( 31'' )
1x3 2-step-DLRVJs : 10'7'' ( 32'' )

Very good considering the circumstances...

- 7 Days Vertical Jump Cure routine.
- My usual lower body stretch routine.

I see in my log that last time i did this was 1 month ago.
Last time i did sprints was 27 September ( !!! )
All i do is 1 upper and 1 lower weights workout a week and 1 bball day/week : WEAK!  :pissed:

OK , i've had it with being lazy , i will launch an all out attack:
- more reactive work
- more cardio
- more abs
- more stretching

WTF , its waiting there , GO GET IT!
