9/2

Complex:
-squat: 315*3, 335*3, 355*2,1
-depth jumps:
 up to (off 36", onto 48") :personal-record:
(off 24", onto 49.5") :personal-record:
-my previous PR was (off 24", onto 48")

Squat (2 min rests):
265 3*8
285 *8

Toes to bar *8,5,6

Pretty high depth jump volume + intensity today. Definitely something to be careful with. I fel like I could have kept increasing box height, which is awesome force absorption improvement.

beast af, off 36" onto 48"

49.5" nuts.

how many total dj's?

just thinking about jumping onto a 48" box (when I had my peak RVJ) and i'd glued to the ground. I could never go above 30" lol. <- scared guy.

- pretty fast today
- calves twitching afterwards

when i push the speed on road, it feels like my grass form. i feel my best on grass. need to shift that over to roads.

also need to just keep cranking the speed. that's what keeps me strong.

going to be resting alot the next few weeks (at least). going to replicate what I did last December (1 on/1 off) peaking-ish phase, speed every session. mileage should still be high - will pile up on training days (doubles). that's what i've been doing this week.



^^ good speed on road surface right out of the gate, good sign.

- calves twitching afterward

legs felt so strong/explosive. I wasn't ever worried about not getting under 5. Some of those 4:4X-4:5X's were really light.

power is coming back for sure.

stomach a bit wrecked, ate a ton of mixed nuts a few hours before, way too fat heavy.

knees/hips a little achy: those road runs recently definitely beat me up more than grass, I can feel it. Hope it doesn't turn into anything. Had I done those on grass, i'd be fine, no aches. grass ftw. BUT, need to get my "grass form" onto the roads. My grass form is definitely way more forefoot. This was on mush grass & still WAY faster than my road strides today - i'm analyzing it as I run and it just feels like I run with alot more "spring" (forefoot) on grass. On roads, it's like my body is afraid of the impact so I lengthen my GCT and run with a flatter strike.







^^ SOLID.


left calf a bit tight, felt it on the way home during the cooldown, some gastroc tightness

brutal clip. poor lady got wrecked, looked like she dislocated her patella or something.

kamworor got really lucky not to get hurt.

absolutely crazy how he had to hit a 4:15 mile to catch back up with the pack in a half marathon, then still wins it.

so much power. that was one of my key observations from the data gathered at the races last spring: the most glaring difference between the first km or two and the rest of the race for me is stride length. stride length comes from putting force into the ground. the cadence those guys are running at is chill, you can see the relaxation in their shoulders and faces. guess they're just traveling so far with each step. amazing.

yup. 100%.

stride freq is "overrated".

i've seen data on people running crazy fast at 17X SPM etc.

Kipchoge's breaking2 was like ~180-185 SPM @ 4:36 min/mi pace? that cadence is "deceiving" because of the ROM he gets each stride. just full strides, insane power. who knows I could be wrong about his cadence, but many long distance elites run 180-190 SPM and they are absolutely flying. You start to see 200+ as it gets down to 1 mile and below.

i often see people saying to focus on stride freq, not stride length.. which is correct in one respect: you shouldn't be trying to "lengthen" your stride while running. instead, should be doing training that makes you more powerful, giving you that extra distance per stride without forcing it, ie speed work etc.

during speed work, you can focus on increasing stride length by simply applying more force (going faster without increasing cadence), but not by consciously "lengthening it", IMHO.

so ya, the guys in these clips are just getting more length per stride at an easy effort, that's neurological to me. The CNS always shows it's powerful face :ninja:

you can be 180 SPM at short choppy strides vs 180 SPM at full ROM strides, two very different things.

pc!

30 August 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : some mild here and there, like everywhere but mild, id call it systemic DOMS lol
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
WRECKED , absolutely wrecked!!! No subs so it was 90 minutes nonstop after what, 3 months?
Endurance was bad, but not as bad as i expected. Strength was good, speed was ok. But body was not ready for that. Now ( next day ) it feels like i was run over by a truck or sth.
Oh well, ballers gotta ball!  :P  :ibjumping:

hah. man you must feel wrecked. DOMS on DOMS.

arm swing 'explosiveness' is important, not necessarily upper body "strength" (ie how much you bench etc). if something makes your arm swing more powerful, then it's probably worth it.

for me, that was simply:
- pullup variations & dips/pushups for general upper strength
- plate swings for overloading arm swing (explosive strength)
- sprints/jumping (explosiveness without fatigue)
- multi-response double leg bounds/tuck jumps etc (for explosiveness, with fatigue)

the last variation works very well: high rep explosive tuck jumps or double leg bounds etc, will really crush your shoulders/traps/lats/pecs etc, and it does so in a motion very specific to svj/rvj (double arm swing) - it's very intense though. if i were to do that stuff nowadays, i'd do it on grass instead of bball court/sidewalks etc hehe. can't just rush into it either, also have to be injury free for intense reactive work, lean body composition definitely helps reduce risk.

hmm..

a few days ago, i measured my calves, with the intention of measuring them again to compare: ~13.5" seated.

tonight, they are CRAZY THICK, and i'm getting 13.75 or a little bigger (13.8ish). ie, standing up with fully straight legs is tough - they feel really thick/tight towards full knee extension.

second rest day.. wonder if my calves are somehow retaining a ton of fluid.

Weight: 249.2
Fuck yeah!

20 minutes jog
Squats lol: up to 185x5, legs cramped up
Hammy curls (single leg) 3x10
DB rdl: up to 80sx10

I haven't seen 249 in years and years, maybe since the start of this journal or a little after.


It was during 2010 when I was last 245 so yeah it's been awhile

 :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

it's been coming off fast lately. ride it as long as possible before it levels out again. :ibrunning: :ibsquatting:

- run 6.88 km in 40:00; sprint x 180m, 150m, 180m at 1 km intervals in the middle

- walk 1.21 km in 10:37

- stretch

summer is BACK baby. jesus. face started burning so i pushed through to 40 minutes and then walked it out. hit peak speed of 32.6 kph/20.25 mph per watch, which translates to an 11.04 100. :shrugemoji:

why shrug emoji? because of the translation to 100m? or that it's still over 11? lol.

that's a great to speed. I think the women's top speed during the WR (flojo) was like 23 mph.

>= 20 mph is really moving.

8/30

Practice *2 hours
-just not nearly as good as have been recently. Still having major problems with sweaty grip despite anti-persp+gloves.

3:30am- 11pm yesterday. Brutal week, I have a huge amount of homework and its only going to get worse.i dont know how it will affect my sectionals energy levelsnext weekened.

Almost got fired too, huge stressor. Surprisingly I feel pretty much alright although my diet has been dog shit mostly because of time constraints. Im gonna have to start planning 2-3 weeks ahead to stay on top of stuff. Want to try keeping this crazy schedule for a while just to see if I can.

damn sounds rough. don't get fired lol :o
