Just keep pressing those upperbody lifts man. They will come along.

True,  i am not consistent with upper body workouts. I skip them / forget them very often. On the other hand , even when i am consistent my pushes are pathetic and linear progress is impossible. Pulls are much better. Nothing much to do but keep pushing anyway...

Sore all over , chest , lats , shoulders , quads , glutes , even lateral abs ( wtf? ).
Total rest.


19 December 2011

Bodyweight@session : ~191.5
Soreness : ~none
Injuries/aches : none

Explosive lower workout.

HANG POWER CLEAN:
5@88lbs
5@99lbs
5@110lbs
- 88 = too easy ,  wasted set , 99 & 110 = awesome.

3@220lbs
3@231lbs
3@242lbs
3@253lbs
3@264lbs
3@286lbs ( + 11lbs )
3@308lbs ( + 22lbs )
3@330lbs ( + 22lbs )
-Awesome , able to make the bar jump off shoulders up to 286 , 308 still esplosive , 330 normal reps.
-3x330 is all time  :personal-record: tie.

RDL:
8@198 ( +22lbs )
8@220 ( +22lbs )
5@242 ( + 22lbs ) , ( -3 reps )
-Lost grip @ last set , FML. No straps or even gloves though.
-PRs are 8x220 / 6x231 , so i consider 5x242 a  :personal-record:

4x6@209lbs

I'm having my annual Christmas week detraining at my hometown!
No training at all , diet is good but alcohol consumption much increased
:uhhhfacepalm::headbang:

After last log entry:

22 December : nothing

23 December : nothing

24 December :
-Dynamic warmup
-8x3 ME SVJs at home ( 8'6'' ceiling , head touch measurements )
Not bad , most jumps 26's and 27's , had a couple of 28's ( touch 8'2'' object at middle of forehead ).

25 December : nothing

26 December : nothing

27 December : nothing

28 December :
-ME jumps/dunks session.
Found a nice rim at a school, measured it at 9'9''. Threw down some very powerful dunks there, much better than what i expected. Was getting up very good , wrist 2-3 inches above rim at best jumps.
Also tried a few 10' dunks but i was 1-2'' sort of landing them.
Got everything on tape , will upload when i get back home.
Something very weird : on both rims i was jumping higher ( 2 or 3 inches ) on dunk attempts than on rim touch RVJs. First time EVER that had this happen.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21

detraining + family + drinking + great jumps = successful holiday
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.
