Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!

« on: March 31, 2011, 12:07:37 pm »

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right calf but almost better
FATIGUE = none
DIET = good

-jump rope 30/30 x 15

-stretch

Just wanted to break a little sweat and get my HR up a bit. Kept it nice and relaxed but still managed to get the rope caught a few times. Frustrated and would have been embarrassed had there been anyone else around.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right calf but almost better, right hip/groin
FATIGUE = none
DIET = good

-warm up
jump rope 30/30 x 5
mobility stuff

-pogos submax 4 x 20

-leg press x 10+5,5,5,5
hip/groin felt fine on first two warm up sets but when i went to 150 kg the tweak came back. messed around a bit but it was no use.

-BSS 3 x 3

no motivation tonight at all, mentally tired, physically tired, need to get more sleep tonight. forced myself to go to the gym and was planning to just do some light pogos and leg press and call it a day. but...

-warm up
jog x 5 mins
mobility stuff and some stretching

-leg press
serious tweak in right groin/hip flexor on the first warm up rep. tried a few more reps to see if it would work out, but no luck. fml. called it. more stretching and some smr later.

Everyone who dedicates themselves to the barball over a considerable amount of time should be respected, regardless of size or the load that happens to be on the bar.

with flander's caveat (i.e. 20 years of doing it wrong and getting nowhere doesn't count), i agree with this. i'd actually expand it to say that long-term dedication to doing anything well deserves respect.*

*inb4 what about serial killers?

Havent seen u in abit man, thx for checkin in ha.

Hey, wat balance stuff are u talkin abt?

I only do the standin on one leg for time thing for proprioception, but that was 2 months ago, when the ankle was worse..

that's what i'm talking about. you can mix it up, too: closing your eyes, throwing a ball against the wall, etc. i'd keep doing it, if i were you. my ankle's been healthy for months now and i still do balance stuff.

got better jumps when i start a little slower and build up momentum rather than an all out explosion then some braking prior to jump to get timing right... so now will really focus on a build up of momentum and make sure the last 3 steps involve no deceleration.

well put. this needs to be my mantra...

putting in good work. have you been doing any balance work for your ankle(s)? saw a review abstract recently that suggested that balance training might help improve athletic performance, in addition to the obvious rehab benefits.
