you're probably right.

the word of the day is "float." i watched some of my jumping videos before i went to the gym today and the biggest difference from the good ones to the bad ones was the degree to which i look to myself like i'm floating across the court until the penultimate step. more float = more speed without forcing things. or something.
WEIGHT: ??? bit bloated from awesome thanksgiving
SORENESS: upper traps, abs
ACHES/INJURIES: none
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- 10y sprints x 5
pretty bad, left toe bugging
- DLRVJ x ~12-13
meh, 31-32
- SLRVJ x 3e
i think i PR'd on my right leg. after a really awful jump i told myself to get lower on the approach and that seemed to work. something like 28.
- ME DL bound 5 x 5
fourth set was really bad, otherwise okay, ~half court.
- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5
bad
- ME pogo 5 x 5
not as bad, focused on plantar flexion on takeoff
- OHP warm up
- DB row 30 x 18e
- stretch
30 minutes later
- touch football x 2 hours
fucking fantastic. so much fun.

I tried skipping earlier this yr, hurts my knees & ankles. Don't have access to rower or bike (that would be ideal tho). I will try your circuit suggestion. It sounds crossfitty but it might just do the trick. Thanks.
YAAARRRRRR crossfit did not invent circuit training! they just fetishized it! circuits are fun.

question i've been meaning to ask for a while: what do you mean by "x0"? does that mean you've skipped that exercise?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Innovative Exercises Ideas for Speed
« on: November 21, 2012, 11:30:58 pm »Here is one i thought of when i was sitting on those desk chairs with the wheels.
Chair Drags
Sit on the chair with the wheels and stuff, lean forward and try and run forward dragging the chair forward as well also add hand movements as well with the runs. this will generate power in the paw back process of the sprint lol.
Chair Drags for distance
This same as before but try aim to cover as much distance with one push of your legs.

WEIGHT: ??
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- sprint 10y x 5
- DLRVJ x ~10
mostly ~32. better than before but still, god.
- MR half tuck 5 x 5
- pogo 3 x 5
- C1: squat MSEM 8 x 290
- C1: jump squat 2 x 3 x 80
- C1 info: like using 80 pounds. squats outstanding.
- OHP 115 x 8,8
- pull up +10 x 8,8
- ab fall outs x 10,10
- leg raise x 10
- calf raise x 20,20
bodyweight only, still got a decent pump. had a genius idea: add weight with the weight belt. then i can still use my hands to balance. limits me a bit but it's not like i'm doing 585 for sets of 40 anytime soon.
- stretch
good workout.

today, i am 26. that's an age 
in other news, my mental calendar had today as a gym day, but it inconveniently forgot that my parents are taking me out for some kind of surprise tonight. so no workout today. here's hoping the extra day of rest sets me up for good jumping tomorrow.
