      - 3 x 20 each leg

    Natural bodyweight glute ham raise
      - 3 x 5 no hands except for last set my hamstring too weak

Cool down
    lying down
    stretches

Comment
too tired to comment but it was long work just on the upper body, next will have to decline to doing so much until I finish my entire workout then I can do the upper body. I finished reverse lunges at 12:45 ish and then finished upper body at 2:25pm. But good to do some upperbody for a change.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

      - 3 x 5 @30kg

    reverse lunges
      - 1 x 5 each leg @bw
      - 1 x 3 each leg @25kg dumbbells in each hand

    standing straight legged pawbacks /w cable
      - 2 x 10 @15kg

Cool down
    stretch
    walk back
    foam rolled my quads (sore af), glutes

Comment
It was a nice relaxed session, no rushing. Reverse lunges feel comfortable but always fatigued after. split squats felt more comfortable. Concentric squat jumps felt good I squat down the bar on the pin and then after the weight is off me I keep contact with the bar and then jump up. The other sessions went well too.
The drive backs was good, I go heavy to build the strength then go light to develop the power. I'm not sure if I should continue going heavy or stick with medium weight, might stick with the moderate load.

Soreness: hamstring, glutes, IT band a little near hip area
BW:66.8kg
Injury: n/a

Condition: a hot sunny day and the track was planned to be used for competition. SO I had plenty of time as I got there from the start of time it opened, which is 10am to 12pm. 30min warm up. My lats were still sore and my chest felt a little heavy before and during the runs.

Warm up
    1hr walk to gym (car unavailable)
    overall body dynamic warm up
    quad stretches
    heel walks
    a walk, skip and runs
    sled trolly push walks, skips/run
    fast high knee drills for 10m

Workout
    hill sprints 45 degrees or maybe more as 10m x 3
    sprint starts x 4 @10m
    push up sprint starts 2 x 10m
    50m sprints @90-95% intensity x 5

Cool down
    stretch
    walk back

Comment
It was hot, sun was blazing. the track didn't seem slippery but my feet slipped at the sprint starts but at the 50m start it was more dry so more grip. The 50m sprints felt good especially the start, the first set I stumbled but the 3rd I felt my body was at a good lean and a good low heel receovery as every step I could grip the floor quick. so a good session and what works for me is thinking of exploding out quickly. then watched the competition for 1hr lol before leaving. 100m races ran around 4 seconds in the 30m and 6 seconds in the 50m, which is a good time.

Comment
Another long session, 45kg reverse lunges were challenging in regards to doing them with knees to grass as I am still kinda new to them but only way to progress was this way. Concentric jump squats was good and controlled. Some people worried that doing squat jumps generally may be bad for my spine cos of compression, but my form was good and felt good. Another long session cos of adding upper body work with this guy. shoulders are dead after the shoulder raises. I was also looking at the mirror and am used to seeing a person with skinny upperbody but this time my chest is sticking out of my shirt especially when I breath lol makes me laugh but also cautious I don't train too much that it gets too big and then has a negative impact on my sprinting.

Comment
It was a hot day, a nice workout and a pr on the deadlift. The 160kg was close, I was upright just trying to get the bar up while it passed my knees and just trying to lock but couldn't I was stuck at that position. But it was more higher than the 150kg I failed at. I did some arm work just light. I also did cable push backs but had pain on my right quads, maybe I overworked it after the deadlift. It was a good session.

Comment
Couldn't go to the track so did some plyo sessions. It was an ok session. Shin bound to be sore from the ankle hops and depth jumps. Single leg depth jumps was good idea was to imitate the weight of the body as the leg comes to down to paw the ground with the whole body above but increase height to strength and training the stiffness of my legs.

Soreness: legs
BW:67.1kg
Injury: right hip feeling sore again as only staff was available who was occupied outside so I didn't get the bands

Condition: alright session. majority upper body work.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   hamstring seated stretch
   quad stretch
   high hip holds
   single leg glute bridge
   others as well i don't remember

Workout
   dumbbell lateral raises for medial delts
      - too many sets of 10

   lean over dumbbell pull backs for rear delts
      - too many, too tired and can't recall properly

   shoulder press with empty bar (my shoulders were gone at this stage so used a 5k aluminium bar)
      - some sets of 10-15

   super set of 5kg plate front raise to above head, then changed to over head press with same plates then using 4kg dumbbells in each hand for front raises
     - some sets of 10

    trap bar shrugs
       - worked up to 110kg x 10

    seated arnie presses
      - 4kg dumbbells x 10, 2kg x 10 about 5 sets

    incline tricep extensions
      - 3 x 5

    Cable tricep extensions
       - 3 x 10

    Cable bicep curls x 15kg
      - 2 x 10

I wanted to do atleast one lower body workout, as the person I was working out with said I should leave it he then suggested I do the following, which was a leg killer. never again.

    Squats super set (wide stance, medium stance then feet together stance) empty bar no rest between stances and no locking at top just constant up down
       - wide x 10, medium x 10 and close together x 10 rest 30 seconds

      - wide x 30, medium x 30 and close together x 30  rest 30 seconds (10 reps with bar, 20 reps without bar)

Cool down
   wobble my way back

Comment
I will have to get back to my routine and then add the upper body work at the end. The lower body work was a killer, quads dead like jelly. So much upperbody work for majority the shoulders and a few for biceps and triceps.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

       - Note: my glutes and calves were on fire I had to stand up everytime

    Leg press playing about
       - 1 x 5 @80kg plates
       - 1 x 5 each leg single leg presses - I didn't go all the way down as I could see tension increasing around knees the lower I went, so just stuck at around 100 degree knee bend. Quads were prob weak from tuesday's session. not planning on implementing it.

    Lying hamstring curls
       - My hamstring too weak so did a few reps at 2 sets

    Cable drive backs
        - 1 x 10 @40kg

    Cable knee drives
        - 1 x 10 @30kg

Cool down
    stretch
    walk back

Comment
Nice workout session, reverse lunges were ok even though I wanted something more loaded but because my quads were sore from tuesday I decided to instead of going heavy change it to jumping lunges using reverse pyramid method like the jump squats. I had 2hrs after the upper body session. The deadlift at 140kg I did without belt or strap then wore belt for second set. Then did other stuff to target the separate muscles. Alright session. Legs still need resting.

Comment
It was a cold windy day so my runs were into a head wind. The runs felt comfortable and the form felt comfortable but because of wet floor steps were slipping. I might experiment by bringing my front leg more closer to the line. But it's all about being creative with the drills. I do expect to add speed endurance work while still doing this work later on when I have a good sprint start and a good 30m time.

Soreness: hamstring
BW: 65.9kg
Injuries: n/a

Condition: Nice sunny day, decided to make it a low intensity session as today's my last workout day, before going out of town for over a month where there will be no access to gym or track so will have to make do with the area I have. Some plyos and bodyweight training like pistols, plyometrics if possible. When I did GHR today, I found out it's not as simple as putting your knee on a pad and start workout as when I did do that, the knee cap movesout of the way when leg extended, so when I did do that my knees just hurt, that when I tried for another set, knee too sore and when I checked there was an area under the knee cap on the inner side it had swollen up a lot. when you extend your knees you can see the bulge stick out. so I iced it today.

Warm up
    ankle mobility
    calf stretch
    seated hamstring stretch
    quad stretch had to do right leg slightly due to hip flexor pain when knee pushed behind and the top of the femur bone presses forward in the hip socket and that is where the pain comes.
    high knee on tip toes isometric stretch 20 secs each leg
    single leg glute bridge with leg on bench
    back mobility stretch

Workout
    Squat Jumps
       - 3 x 5 @30kg, 30kg, 20kg

    Reverse Lunges
       - 1 x 5 each leg @bw
       - 1 x 3 each leg @30kg dumbbells in each hand
       - 3 x 2,3,3 each leg @50kg dumbbells in each hand - easy, comfortable

    Natural Glute ham raises eccentric only and push for concentric
       - 3 x 7,5,1 - last rep was too painful due to the swollen muscle under the knee, this bruise when I tighten my quads, this bruise contracted too.

    Trap bar shrugs
       - 3 x 20 @70kg
       - 2 x 10 @110kg

    - When I did upperbody with this guy in the gym, I just cannot remember but when I do lower body workout on my own, I can remember every single set and rep.

    Tricep work, bicep work using curl bar, cable ropes and dumbbells.

    Calf raises on the leg press machine
       - 3 x 20, 10, 15

Cool down
    stretch
    walk back

Comment
It was a great session, especially how comfortable easy the 50kg dumbbells felt in the reverse lunges, I did like a slow eccentric phase then explode up. Did few reps as I wanted to keep it low intensity and just get used to the weight. The calf raise was comfortable but after 10 it's all just about getting through the soreness of the calves. So I have technically broken the gym in terms of the gym not having any more heavier dumbbells for my reverse lunges  :P.  So I will do 3 weeks of reverse lunges before doing BSS with 50kg for 4 weeks. Then jump on to box squats and different alternative exercises. Nice and comfortable session, not sweat.

The glute ham raise knee injury caused a pre patellae bursitis and am having to rehab it for a few weeks. Sucks.
Swelling gone but knee pain very sore when attempting single leg chair sits/squats. Eccentric part.
