ok so.... the bodyweight only experiment has ended.. so, the have tons of fun experiment has started..

ok well, i can see myself really wrecking myself on this bodyweight shit again, because, i'll admit it, i'm greedy... the only way to provide significant overload is through depth drops and shock-like protocols... i know I can do it, it's just, do I have the patience to progress so damn slow and still risk injury such as my plantar fasciitis..  my exercise selection is limited on my bodyweight experiment, absolutely no devices / tools except for my GHR, so that leaves me to do lots of crazy shit in order to get results.. is it worth it right now? not sure.. i mean i'd love to complete it, but i also don't want to take waaay too much time adapting to drops/plyos.

i'll blog all this crap eventually and give my thoughts on pure bodyweight, I really think it can be done very successfully, as is kind of proof from how fast I got my RVJ up. plus you know what? i just want to do more stuff, more variety, and have more fun.. i get to use my thick bars, sled, and barbells now.. as well as my dip/pullup belt..

so, what am i going to do now? just have fun and keep up what i was doing, but instead of getting obsessed with my depth drops/plyos, i'll let those progress very-very gradually, which will be doable now that i'm going to mess with weights again.. i don't plan on going crazy with weights though, i'm still going to have a "more-work, lighter load" approach.

THANK YOU !!!

you planted the seed in my head a month or so ago, i blame you and your inception tactics

the other night i had this dream that felt like an hour or so, but was 5 minutes.. i dozed off and im training outside doing walking lunges for a while, next to this canal, then this car was creeping on me on this canal road, so i started running and it chased me through the grass/dirt/mud etc.. then i woke up.




last night:

long story short, i had a dream that i diced up this timothy mc veigh looked terrorist who had a bomb wired into his skin.. i diced him up real nasty with a rambo knife.. then somehow i was in this ring boxing this kid i used to train, who i hated, complete pussy, and i punched him and he flew out of the ring and was out or dead, something out of mike tyson's punchout.. then i was watching it on reply.. then i was fighting someone who looked like klitchko.. then i woke up during that fight.

so anyway, enough rambling while im taking a massive dump.. awesome workout below




BW = 162
soreness: quads
aches/injuries: left heel (PF)

workout:
- 1 mile warmup interval sprints to a plaza where i could sprint on a sidewalk with a roof.. i couldn't sprint outside because of the rain, so this worked out very well
- sprints: 10-20 yard dashes x 5, 40 yard dashes x 4, 20 yard dashes x 3
- .73 mile run home: 4:15
- ^^^ really happy about that.. so many factors going against me: quads were toast, sidewalk/pavement was wet, and i had to stomp for 5 seconds when a car pulled out... im very happy about this number, 4:15 for .75 under those circumstances is ballin'.. i really pushed it so.

circuit:
- adarq-style barbell squat: 4 x 5, 95 @ 2 x 3 singles, 135 @ {5 singles 3 singles 3 singles}
- bar-dips: ? x 3-5, 20 lb on dip belt @ 2 x 3, ? x 5
- 3" thickbar curl: ? x 5-8

i was shocked at how strong my squat was.. i literally could have jump squatted that 135.. all of this bodyweight stuff/sprinting i've been doing has got my hips/quads firing so strong..






ok so i'm very happy about the .73 mile run and the squat.. heel really didn't bug at all during any of that either, but, i didn't jump... so... i might do some dunks tomorrow though.. i figure ill go all out tomorrow, and if it bugs ill just rest it for 3 days while i do weights/sprints/bodyweight etc.

i know im capable of sub 5 minute mile right now, physiologically, but not mentally.. for sure not mentally.. i still have lots of "quit" in my brain.. that subconscious voice telling me to slow down / stop etc.. but with every night that i go all out on .75-1 mile runs, that voice will disappear little by little.. then it's over, possible PR's maybe who knows.


peace

 Damn man I hate to hear that shit.  Hope you heal quickly, I know you were bustin your ass training and hitting it hard lately.  

ya it's all good.. thanks for the support mang, but ya, i'm known as mr injury prone so stuff was bound to happen sooner or later pretty impressive run though without injuries for quite some time.. i've had this plantar fasciaeitisisisisi before.. it originally came after doing sprints ~1 year ago, but something else set it off recently, i think the drops or possibly some weird landings after some single leg jumps.

whatever, i'm about to go workout.. though modified, to much everyone's delight (you'll see when i post it lol).

im bout to chezkenny it up.

edit: just after i posted that it started pouring.. it'll pass though.

had these today, they are indeed nice

nice!

something in my left heel is damaged, i have to be careful.. tomorrow i'll re-eval everything, might have to change things up temporarily until it heels..

BW = 162
soreness: quads
aches/injuries: left heel (really bugging during jumps tonight), right plantar fasciae (got better after deep tissue and a certain stretch).

workout:
- interval sprints for 3 miles.. like 6-7 20 yard sprints, felt great.. really moving good.. heel didn't bug at all.

- jumps: really bad, during warmup jumps my heel was really bugging.. it didn't help that my quads were dead but still, the heel shit got in my head bad.. i only did 1-step lead in RVJ's: 10'4 RL, 10'5 LR.. on SLRVJ's i got: L-SLRVJ = 10'3, R-SLRVJ 10'
- lol really bad shit.. wasn't expecting to jump good after that ten mile shit.. i still can't figure out whether it was the heel that inhibited me or the quads, probably both.. but sprints felt great so.

- walk home instead of sprint or jog, annoyed about heel

- power neutral grip pullups: 5 x 5

done.. bleh.

i really dug my fingers into my heel pad later tonight.. i mean it seems to have helped and i felt some weird shit that i "rolled out", who knows though.

annoying

peace

*mind blown*
