WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a tiny bit, hip flexors a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES: left ankle not a problem (yay!) but fucked up the same set of toes that was hurting yesterday during the second game. also, tweaks in right hip flexor and glute
MENTAL STATE: rested, possibly too relaxed early. then pumped in the evening.
12:00 PM
- SMR and mobility
2:30 PM
- warm up
- SVJ x 7
- depth jump x 5
not good, jumping too forward
- squat 310 x 5,5,5
solid
- DB row 90 x 8,8
- dip +45 x 8,8
- some core shit
- walk home via grocery store
- stretch
6:45 PM
- indoor ultimate x 120 mins
we had a double header. blew the doors off the other team in the first one, lost a squeaker in the second because the other team went on a run at the end.
- stretch
going to stretch again before bed.

« on: February 04, 2013, 10:09:21 pm »we are the same weight now. will be interesting to see where you're at with squats and jumps once you get back on the wagon.
Well I had a little mini jump session today while shooting around and I can tell you that my SVJ is about 30'' (barely grazing 10'), and DSVJ is about 31'' (touching the ring). So I have definitely lost height but not as much as I thought. Plus this time around it's less daunting because I know I've improved on it in the past. Squat has probably dropped a fair bit but again, I know I will get it up eventually. I'd love to be at your level with the same weight, I think that would give me enough strength to get up pretty good.
yeah for sure. i would piss my pants if i hit 30" on a SVJ, so at least you know the baseline is still pretty darn good.

WEIGHT: 179
SORENESS: lower traps, hip flexors
ACHES/INJURIES: left ankle medially and laterally, below and behind the malleoli. top of left foot just posterior to the third and fourth toes.
MENTAL STATE: lightheaded, out of sorts
- warm up
- a few jumps
felt wack so called it. i'm going to take the day off work tomorrow so i'll do today's workout during the day and then play my frisbee game at night. not ideal but i'll just go extra light on wednesday. this keeps more or less on track.

word, difference noted. by back extensions do you mean on a 45-degree hyper thingy? like the top pic here:
or on a GHR machine?

yeah but you're up near where your squat was before and IIRC you hadn't done the super-heavy calf raises until the last however many months. did you just do GHR/back extensions before, or did you have some isometric work in before, too?

nice squat. i can't help but think that one of the major things you have going for you is a really strong back. i don't think it's my legs that fail me on heavy weights, it's that i pitch forward.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: pecs
ACHES/INJURIES: inside left ankle, below bone, tweaking mildly
MENTAL STATE: happy, carefree
- 4-on-4 touch football x an hour and a half or so
once ankle started bothering me i switched to qb/qb defender. it's not hurt it was just weird so i figured to play it safe. pecs sore from the dips.
@vag, yeah i don't get it, either. it's very frustrating. on the plus side a low depth jump makes me jump higher, so at least i'm not a complete defective with respect to the stretch-shortening cycle.
but yes,
is right.
@raptor, i will film it soon. hadn't thought about pushing my hips back and bending over vs. keeping torso upright. i kind of feel like that would throw the jump forward but it's worth a shot.

i have a buddy who did a lot of karate as a kid. one time, in english class, in 11th grade, he was nodding off in class. our teacher was boring. anyway he was nodding off and then all of a sudden sat bolt upright and did a huge karate chop, hit the table with his hand, and nearly fell of his chair. the class basically passed out from laughing.
