warm up
foam roll
core stretches

work
jog x35:50 @ easy pace, 4.2 miles, 8:32/mile

cool down
stretch

Seven things:
1. Knees are buggin' a little, not sharp just kind of dull. Don't bother me at all during the run. Not a new feeling by any means, but thought I'd note it tonight anyway.
2. Perfect night, mid-50s and no wind.
3. Happy Halloween.
4. Fuck DC taxi drivers.
5. I finally got a stopwatch again so I'm going to start tracking my runs a little bit better.
6. Got some video of the decent jumps from the other day, including the ~31.5" one that was halfway down my second knuckle. Will post later.
7. Michigan AND Skins lost this weekend to inferior teams. FML.

Well , the ratio you designed for yourself is definately better.
Kelly gave out a long-term schedule transitioning in 5 phases , from GPP to peak. It is a god damn good program , but it is for everyone. Yours is 100% customised to your needs, starting from neutral and not GPP or hypertrophy etc.
Having said that , i was also very much tempted reading that template.
But my mind is already made up , ill complete my ratio , hopefully achieve significant gains in strength and work capacity and then i will do the high-freq template he gave in his previous article...

Man I'd say stick with what you're doing. I really like what you do. If you were to consult me likely the only thing I might suggest thinking about from a VJ perspective is how much you really benefit from a distinct hypertrophy phase.  I'm not sure if it's the best thing in the world for you given your current size and qualities.

Was this addressed to my training or vag's?

Word, will start doing this. When the court is open, would it be alright to basically do the same thing but just throw the 1-step (and eventually 2-step, 3-step, etc.) jumps beforehand?

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday. Bit of a bust cause the gym, unannounced, had shut down the basketball court. I didn't have a backup plan so ended up doing some random shit. Closed today and tomorrow, too.

warm up
foam roll
stretch

work
jump rope x a bunch, about 35 total double unders
tuck jump x10
pogos x10

Then realized that I could use the court as long as I didn't bring any equipment on it, e.g. a basketball.

sprint x3
1-step x5 -- sucked, nothing over 29
repeat, but wasn't jumping well at all, so I cut myself off

More tuck jumps and pogos, some random broad jumps...mostly a waste of time cause I didn't have a backup plan. Oops.

cool down
stretch

adarq, any ideas for the SR sessions, especially now that it's getting cold and sprints are gonna get harder to do? I know we talked about this before but I'm evidently incapable of putting something reasonable together on my own.

Surely soccer balls are easy to find and inexpensive in Denmark.

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.

Quote trees get so ridiculous on this site. Flander, if you can't get your hands on a foam roller, just use a soccer ball. A little harder to balance on for some things but it'll have the same effect. In Stretch to Win they actually recommend a ball over a foam roller for most things because it's more maneuverable.

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.

adarq: college in UK =/ college in US

US college = UK uni

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.
