ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.

---

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

he's doing an event somewhere nearby.. i think my dad is going to it, not sure.

look how athletic/powerful rogan is.. lol

he's going to be what LBJ was meant to be and what LBJ never will be...  hahah, this is awesome.  i'm a fan of Griffin fo sho.  LBJ, NEVER.

why not a fan of LBJ? because he wants to play with his good friend d-wade down in SOUTH BEACH? the fans don't own players.. cleveland ohio doesn't own lebron just because he grew up there.. there is no "jordan rule".. lebron took his shitty team deep into playoffs many times, he's easily the best all around player in the league, we'll see if blake can do that.

kobe would have 0 rings if it weren't for his stacked rosters.. pretty sure he even missed the playoffs when he was "all alone", couldn't get out of first round either when he did make playoffs.

it's easy to give a guy like kobe alot of praise and a guy like LBJ none.. kobe threatened to leave the lakers plenty of times, but they threw the money at him and filled the roster with lots of talent.. it's alot easier playing in LA than "cleveland bumfuck ohio"



peace man


edit: even if lebron went to some other team (not the heat), i wouldn't care.. im a fan of player's, not teams.. the players actually are the ones competing.. they have all the cards in their hands as far as im concerned.. "team loyalty" is full of shit, organizations will cut them loose in a second without even thinking twice about it.. fans will turn their back on them in a second without even thinking about it..

First day back after a few days rest and feeling great!

nice work man! good session.

Gym closed the entire week for hols.

Good thing also, I visited this Chinese doc, who wrapped my foot in some black herbal gunk, and instructed me to keep it on for 2 days. That was sunday.

Today did some basketball dribbling drills/workout. Tried tt move where u take a big right step, only to stop right there, and cross over from the outside. Aka the move AI did on tyronn Lue.

Foot still can't take sudden jams like tt.

Went on,
did another bw workout.

S1: pullups: (12, 12, 12, 14)
s1: dips :     (15, 15, 15, 20)
s1: lunges :  (12, 12, 12, 12)

felt good, tried some submax sprints, no problems with ankle, tho I might hv been favoring the right ankle.

regardless, sounds like ankle is still getting better though.. handling sprints is good.. just do those AI-moves submax, to strengthen it up in those types of movements.. don't need to "go max or nothing", work on those moves submax, it'll strengthen it.

^^ ya jello, i'd imagine it would be very windy too.
