23 March 2011

~30 mins of low-tempo 3-on-3.
( goals were break in new shoes , give a good active recovery for today's game ).

Got down and planned each and every training session until until the end of this training season ( August ).
Also, decided to go on a fat-weight loss rally. Plan is to lose 1lb per week. In the beginning it will be more ( water & carbs ) then less, but 1lb/week is very realistic for me.

Here is the progress plan ( by week, starting last week ) , will be updating with the real results weekly to see what happens:

Estimated SVJ is ccj's calculator , LOL! But i did look back at my stats the last 2 years and i saw it's kinda accurate, with some normal deviations of course. Will be interesting to see how it goes , will make some nice graphs in the end too.

BBall game @ court with awesome floor.
Good endurance , good jumping.
New shoes ( hyperdunks 2010 ) still not broken , feeling a bit uncomfortable in them. The sole is awesome though , also i noticed i feel much better 'loading' SLRVJs in them. On DLRVJs i got a ~10'6'' dropstep touch ( ~31'' ) , 10'7.5'' ( 32.5'' ) off 1 and 2 steps. Jumps felt submax so happy with the heights. I didn't feel like doing full runups, probably because of weight ( weight after game ~197 ). I also had a hard fall after a jump, smashed my right side ( hip and outer calve ) pretty hard. Doesn't look like something to worry about , just gonna bruise etc , at least that's how it seems now...

you been doing any smr? made a huge difference for me when i tweaked my tfl. make sure your hip flexors are loose, too.

Did some light SMR and stretching. Kinda helped , but that's a different injury , from smashing it at a fall. Its is not like i pulled a muscle so i don't feel those really help , i just do them like i would normally. Its nothing much anyway , when i was jumping i forgot i had it.

No time for gym today , did a recovery workout at home.

LTMP recovery session:

BOX SQUATS ( 1'' above parallel ) :
30*BW
20*BW each leg ( equivalent load = ~165lbs )
10*BW+22lbs each leg ( equivalent normal squat load = ~210lbs )
10*BW+22lbs each leg ( equivalent normal squat load = ~210lbs )
10*BW+44lbs each leg ( equivalent normal squat load = ~255lbs )
10*BW+44lbs each leg ( equivalent normal squat load = ~255lbs )

CALVE RAISES:
3x25@BW+44lbs

Equivalent normal squat load calculation:
Lifting BW = 0.85*BW
Equivalent normal squat load = ( Lifting BW + SL load )*2 - Lifting BW.

Idiot , i read the LTMP article on the go and i didn't realize it is 1 set to failure , i did 4x10 , FML!

PHASE 3 - Cycle 4 - Power workout

Bodyweight@session : ~196. Diet : you're doing it right!
Injuries/aches : glute almost 100% now , barely feeling it.
Soreness : quads 1/5 , calves 3/5
Expected to be much more sore at quads but it seems that wrong-LTMP-high-rep-submax-squat shit worked!

POWER CLEANS:
6x3@121
-Switched to 6x3 from 3x5 , more power-oriented.
-Trying to jump more / pull less the clean.

EXPLOSIVE MSEM HALF SQUATS ( rest between reps ~45 secs )
8x1@231 ( +2reps , +11lbs )
-Awesome speed. Last rep = so explosive i jumped ~3'', scary , DO NOT WANT!

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
4x5@308
-Different tempo than high rep , explode up , hold 1'' , lower slow.

gotta bump that weight up faster! nice work man. once you get skinny you're gonna be flying. age vs. vertical is still in play.

Bump what weight up? Confused.
If you mean lose weight faster , its already fast , it was 200 at the top of that page and i haven't gone hardcore yet. I have no problem losing weight , its very easy for me , im taking it slow because the hard part is maintaining/increasing muscle&strength during the weight loss. As for skinny , i don't want to be skinny , low 180's is the goal...
If you mean increase the weight on the bar more , i can't , LOL! Taking it slow and linear here too , i am having very good progress so far!

Thanks for the support man , appreciate it!

haha, i meant weight on the msem half squats. 3" of elevation means you need more weight!

Ah , ok! I don't know , the bar flies up at the last 1/8th of the movement , if i added weight the transition and lower part would not be explosive at all. Not sure if that's right though, it's a tug of war. Next time im adding 4.4 lbs , if it flies up ill add another 4.4 for the last 4 reps.

31 March 2010

Weight@session : 196
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : Calves 1/5 , also... triceps 1/5! WTF , probably from the power cleans, can't get how though...

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

PHASE 3 - Cycle 4 - Stim workout

Bodyweight@session : ~195.5 ( AM )
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

JUMPS ( concrete , 10' rim ):
1x4 SVJs : max = ~28,5''
1x4 dropsteps : max 32'' ( equals PR )
1x4 1/2 steps DLRVJs : max 33''
3x4 3/4 DLRVJs : max 31''
-SVJs and dropsteps felt powerful and explosive
- 1/2 steps a bit less powerfull.
- Full runups : pure shit. Tried going slow , fast , high, low , accelerating , decelerating , nothing worked , FML!
- My conclusion is that i am seriously lacking in the FA department.

HANG POWER CLEANS:
1x5@99
1x5@99 ( -11lbs )
1x5@99 ( -22lbs )
-Deliberately lowered the weight , was more interested in the shock part than the triple extension, so i used a weight that i can 100% jump the bar so catch = landing.

MSEM HALF SQUATS ( rest between reps ~30 secs , rest between sets ~3 mins ):
3x1@253
3x1@275
3x1@297 ( +11lbs )
-Last 253 rep = jump 2'' , gotta stop doing that shit before i get hurt.
-275 was harder than 297, WTF? felt heavy on back, limted ROM
-297 felt ok on back , did them in legit half depth and good speed , very happy with it.

MSEM REVERSE LUNGES ( rest between reps ~30 secs , rest between sets ~3 mins ):
3x1@165
3x1@198 ( I think it's PR , not sure )

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x5@220 , too easy , wasted set , WTF was i thinking?
1x5@308
1x5@374
1x5@374
-Loading that thing sucks , and also it makes funny noises when too loaded. I loaded 418 for last set but it was so noisy i was afraid it would break.

BBall game.
Very good endurance. Lately increased gym frequence + phase in ME jump sessions seems to work.
Fair jumping, did only 2 dropstep rim jumps , got 30'' ( mid palm rim grab ) in both.
3d game in hyperdunks 2010 , the more they break the better they feel, awesome shoes.
