Lol! You guys are starting to sound like you don't believe I can do this? That hurts.



But its ok.

go look up rip's old journal if you want to know why people are skeptical of "i jump over 40 but i don't have a camera/my camera ran out of batteries/i left it at home today next time i promise guys".

last night

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right hip wonky, esp. during running/walking fast; right ankle sharp but not terrible pain during push presses; ankles both a little off, maybe because of new shoes
MENTAL STATE: happy, strong sense of accomplishment because i busted my ass on some work on my day off and got it done

- warm up

- rudimentary hops

- easy short sprints to test hip
hip failed test.

- squat warm up to 185

- jump squats 40(2x20 DB) x 3,3,3

- push press 145 x 4; 115 x 4,4,4

- C1: hyper +25 x 10
- C1: DB row 80 x 10
- C1: thick band pull down x 10
- C1 info: 3 rounds, 20-30s between exercises

- stretch

decided to play it safe with the hip. no sense at all in aggravating anything. hip felt okay again this morning but i was walking extra fast to work and it started announcing itself so i slowed down. discomfort has spread around to the front and medial side of my hip flexor and seems to set in on hip extension during locomotion. the hypers did not bother it at all, nor did the jump squats. it felt fine during squatting but i didn't feel like risking any kind of load. gonna take some more ibuprofen.

no idea what was up with my right ankle during the push presses, that's not a problem i've had before and it wasn't bothering me otherwise.

+1 for the agile 8.

 

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: strained
MENTAL STATE: tired but excited

- warm up

- indoor ultimate x one hour
strained my right hip, TFL/glute med area although i can't tell exactly what. lateral side. right at the end of our first game, which we won in a blowout. i tried to play the first point in the next game but had to come out. jogged a bit, did some backwards running and skipping, but this is rec league indoor. i'm not trying to push myself for that. team won the second game, too, in an awesome comeback in the final 3-4 minutes. i played badly, although not as badly as in my first game of the season.

god.

fucking.

damn it.

injuries are why i stopped playing ultimate in the first place, but i have no idea what happened to my hip today. don't remember landing awkwardly or cutting awkwardly or anything, it just started hurting all of a sudden. time for 600mg of ibuprofen and some ice and some sleep.

 

man i'd forgotten just how much improvement you made in that first year or so. makes me think i've been doing everything wrong...

yesterday felt sick so did not gym.

today:

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: loose, good mood, but not especially bouncy

- warm up

- rudimentary hops (barefoot)

- SVJ x 5
25-26.5

- depth jump 20" x 5
mostly 26 or ?, one 27. next time will use box between low and low-mid.

- SVJ x 2
27, 25. first one clearly benefited from the depth jump priming.

- squat 335 x 1, 275 x 4,4
will open with 345 soon. 335 went up well but i pushed it last time and regretted it. warming up high-bar messes up my positioning for the work sets, need to be careful about that.

- push press 145 x 4,4
hard

- C1: back extension x 10,10,10; +15 x 10
- C1: decline sit up +30 x 10
- C1: pull up x 7,7,7; inverted row x 10
- C1 info: 4 rounds. last round used a little bar for the back extensions.

- stretch
