Oh, one more thing to note about my sprinting. I feel like the strength in each of my strides is better, and I'm getting my knees high like I should. But I need to work on turnover. I feel only slightly faster than last year and it seems purely from strength. If I can work more on actually moving my legs faster along with getting more distance in each step I think that will help me get much faster.

Not the same to say about long jump. The extra pop in my step is definitely going to make for some impressive jumps this coming year. I'm excited to see how well that goes.

Decided to split the upperbody into tomorrow. Squats yesterday were overkill after being sick so I'm going to go a bit lighter until next week.

Forgive me if I've asked this before, but have you gone over to Charlie Francis's forum yet? There are some track coaches on there with a ton of experience who are willing to help with technique, drills, etc., if you ask.

You were not previously familiar with Mr. Enamait? I hadn't visited Ross Boxing in a while but I think it's time to get back into the habit. Love that guy. And yeah, he's a freaking monster. I want to be able to jump rope like that.

I cant really say i am that athletic, im just a very quick learner. But i hope i am more athletic than i think i am.

ARE YOU A DONKEY? OR A RACEHORSE?

Nope... dunk contest dunkers practice dunking all time in a dunk contest/freeway to the rim environment. In game dunkers and basketball players do this as well but don't have the time/rest/resources to only do this so they also practice basketball skill and dunk in games, which is different.

Which is why the dunks by Shannon Brown, Rudy Gay, etc. are so freaking amazing. It's one thing to get a full run-up and a perfect toss. It's something completely different to throw down a sweet dunk in the fourth quarter when Kendrick Perkins and Paul Pierce are simultaneously trying to stop you.

Inspired by the introduction to the paper "Effects of Strength Training on Muscle Fiber Types and Size: consequences for athletes training for high-intensity sport," by JL Andersen and P Aagaard,

you actually read those?

Yes, zgin. Yes, I do. All the time.

The names look danish.

I love that idea. Were are not racehorses bro. We are fast and explosive barnyard animals. You, a donkey. Me, a baboon. 

Baboon. Barnyard animal.

In Mozambique. Duh.

I WOULD BEAT LBSS TO A LIVING PULP RIGHT NOW THEN DRINK HIM IN A SMOOTHIE MIXTURE, BUT I AM GOING TO SEE "RED" AND GO GET A CHOCOLATE MOO FROM JAMBA JUICE, THEN GET PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS, SO ILL BE GONE UNTIL LATER TONIGHT. YOU ARE LUCKY LBSS.

Bring. It.

The question is, what the hell kind of gym installs a non-adjustable rim that's not 10 feet high?

Nota bene: Journal log changed to "a fast and explosive donkey!" Inspired by the introduction to the paper "Effects of Strength Training on Muscle Fiber Types and Size: consequences for athletes training for high-intensity sport," by JL Andersen and P Aagaard, which states, "Thus, both coaches and scientists know that it is not possible to turn a donkey into a racehorse by means of exercise and training. Hard work will, at the most, turn the donkey into a fast and explosive donkey!"

My friends, I may not be a racehorse. But I will be god damned if I can't turn myself into a fast and explosive donkey. HEE HAW!
