BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe, outside middle of right foot, calves super stiff, something weird in my lower left back, no big deal it's just there
FATIGUE = low to moderate
- warm up
- DSVJ x 3
- DLRVJ x 4
didn't have it, jumps were slow/low, stopped. and my calves new experiment: when jumps are garbage, just stop. the motor pattern is there now.
- jump rope x a bit
calves, bro. calves. they were dead.
- speed box squat 10 x 2 x 250
too heavy for speed work. dialing back to 240 next week.
- OHP 3 x 5 x 120
- paused lat pull down 3 x 10 x 90
- MB OH slam 3 x 10 x 14
so much fun.
- stretch
kind of a shitty workout but that's okay. happens. i'm going to do some horizontal pushing and pulling for upper next time.

thanks fellas! 
loopie: it was a drop step jump. my standing vert is still lol-worthy, but mostly because i never practice it.

BW = 174
SORENESS = forearms, left bicep a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES = toes
FATIGUE = low to moderate
- warm up
played knockout with a buddy, worked much better than sprinting. i think i usually don't warm up hard enough and my CNS doesn't really get going. reminds me of something kingfish said once about jumping better after a few games of pickup. first to ten knockout, one-on-one, did the trick tonight.
- DSVJ x 3
i think the first was a PR or at least a PR tie, around 31.5
- DLRVJ x ~10
would have done more but everything fell off after
tie, and PR for reps: at least two jumps at 34+ and a few more 33-34.
- MR half tuck 3 x 30
- squat 3 x 5 x 305
also a PR, despite the fact that my warmups felt heavy as shit. pleased that i sucked it up and went with the heavier weight anyway. ended up being hard but not killer.
- OHP 3 x 5 x 115
more weight next time
- DB row 5 x 60, 2 x 5 x 75
lol, weak. grip was shot due to arm soreness. should use straps next time.
- stretch

friday:
BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = toes
FATIGUE = moderate
- warm up
- sprint 2 x 10y
- DSVJ x 3
- DLRVJ x 8-10
actually took avishek's advice and stopped because these were just awful. no explosion, really slow. wack. avoided throwing my arm out in frustration, though. so there's that.
- MR half tuck 3 x 30
didn't seem worth it given how slow i was
- squat MSEM 2 x 3 x 320
- ab roll out 3 x 10 x 115
- stretch
- messed around a bit with jimmy on some bodyweight stuff
today:
- helped brother move a bunch of furniture, including my parents' old iron fold-out couch. grip shot, lol.
- touch football x ~90 mins

« on: February 12, 2012, 06:52:55 pm »considering doing a tough mudder in september.
I've been talked into doing the one in Wisconsin this September. I'm not looking forward to the extra cardio & strength loss that will come with training for it but I enjoy a good challenge and it looks like this will be one.
Good luck if you decide to do it.
oh man i'm not gonna train for it. not much, anyway. i'll do some extra cardio over the next few months if i decide to go for it, but not so much that it'll detract from regular training. if i feel like it's slowing or taking away gains, i'll stop training and run the thing cold. doesn't look very hard.

light your garage on fire, work out, then rebuild it. there are plenty of trees in michigan so you'll never be short of materials.
seriously, though, i have no idea whether a space heater will work because i've never been in your garage. i bet space heater + sweats + hard work will keep you warm enough, but it's just a guess.

considering doing a tough mudder in september. seems like a ton of fun and not that much additional training would be necessary. probably a bit more cardio but i should be doing that anyway. and some gymnastics stuff, which i want to be doing anyway, too.
