Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: no bounce, need bounce

« on: July 07, 2010, 11:55:11 am »

Just cause I want to have access to it later, here's a tight thread on Charlie Francis' forum about training for soccer: http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?t=15334&page=7. Link is to page 7 cause it was about then that I realized that I'm gonna want to go back to this.

If anyone happens to read it, I corresponded briefly with duxx a few months back. He passed along an updated version of the paper he wrote on his soccer training philosophy. He seemed happy to share them freely, so I can pass them if anyone wants.

Weak effort over the weekend by yours truly. Plus I tried to run on my ankle (not on purpose, to catch the fireworks!) and that didn't work out so well. It's okay but was buggin' a bit yesterday.

Today:

warm up
walked to gym, it was hot as balls outside
foam rolling x30-35 minutes -- oooouuuuuuuuch
stretching
balancing
shoulder mobility

work
bench 3x5x190 -- felt great
DB row 3x8x65/ea

core circuit x3 of
ab wheel rollouts x10
leg lowers x10
side plank x30s/ea

cool down

That DL video is completely insane. LOL @ the clamp falling off at the end; too much weight on there for it to even get a grip on the bar!

A couple nights ago I had a dream where I was talking with Mark Sisson* on the beach. He was wearing board shorts. He kept saying the dumbest shit, just repeating his spiel over and over, and I was just cracking up, asking him if he knew how dumb he sounded and how little sense he was making. He had this kind of perplexed look on his face the whole time but he never stopped talking, even as I was doubled over laughing right in front of him. It got to the point where I couldn't even breathe in and then I woke up.

he works out 7 days a week for 30 minutes, and sometimes 10 minutes.

!!!

Nothing could be more paleo than that, bro. Mark Sisson is a prophet.

Let's go Germany. Don't tell my roommate, though, he's a depressed mess. Some Germans gave him a bit of light heckling as he was walking home after the game and his response was to give them the finger and yell, "FUCK YOU!" really loud. He wasn't joking.

cont'd from vag's log

...Anyway, thinking about fencing practice, it's basically 90% technique work/drills and 10% bouts. There is no other conditioning, except some running. You get all the conditioning from some of the technique stuff (imagine iso-holding in a half squat while moving forwards and backwards while not moving your torso at all -- for 20 minutes), and they could care less if you do a pushup or lift a weight.*

Thinking about that now, I don't really know how it transfers to the way I train today. I definitely have no problem taking rest days; I get that they're important. And I love the weight room, probably a little too much. Honestly I should probably get back closer to the way I trained in middle school and high school: more technique, more frequently.

*At my MT session this morning, the lady started on my left leg and basically went top to bottom. And as soon as she moved from my left leg to my right she commented that there's a lot more definition there and it's a log bigger than my left. After all these years, I'm still noticeably asymmetrical because of my fencing posture. The MT was awesome though, I made an appointment for next week. But shiiiiiiiiiiit it hurt. I think I'm gonna have a bruise on my left calf.
