i want to hit 500 incline pushups tomorrow but i dont know, i never hit my mark.. im going to do them all day then at night finish it out.. so hopefully at night ill have to hit 300 or so, 200 during the day.
oooh... haha, mayb its just a placebo :p so, is this current workout scheme ok, or is it still too much volume? not too good at programming i must say ahha.
well the last few workouts you listed look fine in terms of volume, as they are work-up sets.. alot of it is 'warmup volume' (workup-volume).. it's your plyo workouts that had way too much volume.
why do the hang cleans at the end? do you still feel fresh by then?
i personally would do them before or immediately after the speed squats.
speed squats 3 x 50kg 3 x 60 3 x 70 3 x 80 3 x 85 3 x 90 3 x 95 3 x 95
last set was more a regular squat haha, not much juice left, so i stopped.
pullups 3 x 8 1 x 10 1 x 8
tried to get 2 last sets of 10, but also no more juice left.
barbell stepup 3 x 50 3 x 60 3 x 70 3 x 80 3 x 90
hanging leg raises 5 x 10
hang cleans 4 x 40kg 4 x 50kg
anybody here has experience with leucine? cos normally during my workout, i take in a serving of xtend + glucose. today i added in some leucine, and i was blasting thru all the sets, except for the last one for each exercise, after which i stopped and moved on.
cool.. nope no experience with leucine here, other than taking protein supps with it included.
peak SVJ was around ~30.. i have vid of me really getting up on an svj - which was 30 on a jump mat.. ive only hit 30 on a jump mat 2 times, during which my svj was always around 27 on vertec.. i just got so amped up to hit that 30, which is important, because i usually never get amped up on SVJ's, rather i always get amped up on RVJ's.. plus im SVJ'n near a stool which is 30", and with feet flat in the air im pretty much level with it.
lol @ this video, if you havn't seen it, it's a little whacky.. the story behind it is a bunch of people on TVS were telling everyone they needed to "relax more" during their jumps etc. so i wanted to show them how ridiculous they sounded.. bottom line is we all got very amped up, and my boi jamie and nick PR'd bigtime on their SVJ's.. I PR'd also - prior to getting that ridiculous i had only hit ~27.8 or so on the jump mat.
monster energy + lots of yelling + lots of cursing = PR
ok so after my ~5 month experiment of doing absolutely no weight training, here's the results:
squat (around parallel close stance): 135 lb x 10 = 10 RM
ok yes i know thats weak, but here's the kicker: - absolutely no lactic acid buildup in legs during the sets - no real fatigue either, just couldn't lift the bar by the tenth rep
so basically i am completely slow twitch ;d
anyway, ill be lifting again now.. plan to mostly just do high rep stuff: - pullups/pushups/high rep squat
Slept like a baby last night, woke up so refreshed this morning I could barely stop smiling. Falling asleep when you're tired and waking when you're done sleeping is one of the greatest things ever. Read the paper this morning, made a little breakfast, did an errand, then went to the gym for a nice easy workout.
Circuit x15mins (HR ~150, changed exercise each time through) JR x30-60s lower body mobility exercise upper body mobility exercise
Jog @9:13 mile pace x20 mins (HR ~160, felt easy but a bit slow for my HR to be that high...need to get back to work on easy cardio) Cool down stretch (niiiice and long) foam roll
Mood today:
hah nice.. that's one of the best feeling's ever.
akdn.org - pretty cool man, looks like they are doing good things.
Jumping on concrete, 10 degrees Celsium , ~80% humidity. Weight at session : ~189lbs I was jumping for highest touch on a 9'10'' rim and also recording at 120fps to combine measurements.
Warmup : Dynamic warmup 5' + shooting around ~10' + few medium effort jumps
2x5 Standing Vertical Jumps : Average 27,5'' , maximum 28,5'' ( PR ! ) Those felt and looked awesome too...
3x4 Running Vertical Jumps : Average 31,5'' , maximum ~32'' ( Equals PR , again that damn plateau , GRRRR ) Those looked great on video ( jumping mid-thigh high ) but felt like shit , still cant coordinate my running jump well. Its all fine , those are great stats for the start of an explosive-oriented routine, also verifies it is what i need to do...
nice!!!!!$O!@$O!@)$!@$O!@)$(@!%(
btw, i never knew it could be 80% humidity with such cold weather.. that must be very weird.
im not a big fan of ohp's either. in my working with baseball players/other baseball coaches/trainers, hardly any of them would use any OHP movements. they'd do light overhead prehab-type movements, but never OHP.
