yesterday (saturday):
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle and right thumb - neither is really healed
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ x a bunch, SLRVJ x a bunch
really good, 34-35 off DLRVJ which is not awesome, but felt powerful. couple of two-hand-ish grabs. SLRVJ was inconsistent but also pretty good, i hit 30.5 off L and 30 off R a few times each.
- DB jump squat 45s x 4; 25s x 4,4,4
- superset x 3
-- assisted natural GHR x 10
-- pull up x 7
- stretch
gonna drop squatting to once or maaayyybe twice per week for a while, see what happens. weight work for legs will be jump squats, unilateral shit, and p-chain shit.

i have arthritis in the old metatarsophalangeal joints (big toes on both feet). there is no recovery, only adaptation until they get good enough at replacing that joint to make surgery worthwhile.
ETA: unrelated to my pic but i've sprained my right ankle 6-7 times. recovery has varied a lot but i do know a fair amount about it at this point. actually one of those injuries was what precipitated my getting interesting in training in the first place.

stupid, misguided, same diff. pretty much any kind of prescriptive purism is stupid. "no machines" is stupid. "you must squat to get strong" is stupid.

last night:
worst workout in recent memory. thought i'd try the old priming method of doing some heavy squat singles (i did 315x1,1,1,1) before jumping. could not even touch rim off SVJ. horrible. jumped around for a while after and tried to salvage something from the session but my god.

your weakness is being slow, same as mine. if you want to get faster you need to sprint more. BSS and RDLs are fine (although they're not power exercises) but you need to spend most of your time working on speeeeeeeed.
i'm all for lofty goals but running 11.0 in the 100 is insane for you. you might as well set a goal of squatting 600 or long-jumping 8m. personally, if i can manage to get a dunk down soon, or at least to match the scooby achievement of wrist-over-rim, i'd like to spend the summer working toward a 12.2. and i'm at least a few tenths faster than you are over 100m now. take that for what it's worth.
