Soreness: mild doms still there especially in the hamstring and glutes so full ROM not there in the sprint starts

Condition: It was very warm and my shirt fully soaked in the mid section. Speed session. Took out the sled and saw the shed with the weights was locked so I took my own weights from the car and the hole was too small so sneaked a 10kg plate from the gym :ninja:.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch leaning dynamic
   walking calf stretch
   leg swing hamstring stretch
   walking quad stretch
   seated hamstring stretch single leg lean over
   high knee hip raises using kettlebell 16kg x 10
   back stretch

Track warm up
   a walk x 1 x 20m
   a skip x 1 x 20m
   a run x 1 x 20m

   sprint starts
      - 2 x 1 step (first unloaded then loaded (sled without weights))
      - 2 x 2 steps (first unloaded then loaded)
      - prob should've done it the other way round

   10m sled sprints x 2 (10kg plate on sled)

   10m sprints x 2

   30m sled sprints x 2

   30m sprints x 2

   50m sprints x 1

   core workout (one I try and do daily) leg raises to 90 degrees and lift hip, v crunches and side to side rotations crunches

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
It was an alright session, the doms were still there and the 10m sprints were good , first one (sled run) was bad and slow but second one was better. but a lot of energy used up in this session that the 30m sprints were not that fast. 50m sprints slow especially the last 20m. Technique still there. Meh.
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

Comment
It was a good session, 22.5kg is the right struggle, left leg slightly weaker then right leg, still have congested chest so I did only 2 sets I don't want to set of chains of coughs and stuff. RDL's more difficult because of the constant time under tension instead of resting the bar on the floor. rusty with the single leg calf raises seated but getting the hang of it. Then was kicked out due to woman's session.

It was an ok session besides the wind blowing, the runs felt ok, some of the starts felt quite low to the ground but didn't buckle, which was good but getting there.

Soreness: quad was literally throbbing in pain internally and externally

Condition: It was a good day, got to the gym 2 hours before women's session.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   seated hamstring stretch
   bench quad stretch
   sitting on the floor single leg hamstring stretch
   single leg glute bridges and double leg
   high knee holds with feet strap @50kg shoe was coming off lol x 10 seconds each leg
   back stretch

Workout
   BSS jumps
      - 1 x 5 each leg @bw
      - 2 x 5 each leg @5kg dumbbells
      Note: have to try minimize using my arms in the jumps, which lightens the load
   
   BSS with front leg elevated
      - 1 x 5 each leg @bw
      - 1 x 3 each leg @12.5kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 7 each leg @22.5kg dumbbells in each hand

   single leg seated calf raises
      - 1 x 5 @20kg
      - 2 x 10 @60kg

   single leg stiff leg RDL variation - basically stiff leg deadlift but don't rest bar on the floor
      - 1 x 5 @20kg
      - 2 x 7 @60kg
      Note: The quad throbbing pain started here, because of the knee bent and when lowering the bar I can feel it in the lower quads of my right leg and this workout might have worked out the quads after it was killed in the BSS and this just triggered a quad/tendon pain, throbbing, 7-8/10 pain, very painful. the stiff deadlift less painful cos the tension is not maintained at the bottom of the lift I just place it on the floor. but later when my legs feel good when lowering the bar and stronger I can bring it back in.

   front shoulder press elbow facing forward
      - 2 x 5 @17.5kg dumbbells in each hand

   elbow reverse pulls - arm hanging at the side and pushing elbows backwards and lift weight
      - 2 x 10 @17.5kg dumbbells in each hand

   chin ups
      - 2 x 5 @bw : meh

   cable bend overs for core - trying to experiment core workout with cables

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
It was a good session, the bss jumps felt comfortable and powerful but the reason may be use of the arms, bss felt comfortable too not a lot struggle. deadlift caused major quad pains, the pain wouldn't go away no matter what I did. stiff leg deadlifts feel weird awkward on my lower quad on my left leg, I maintain a slight knee bend.

Edit: measured my wingspan at 71" and my height is at around 5'7-5'8. Long arms.

I love stairs, so much use for training, box jumps increasing the number steps every time till you reach your limit. stair runs.

I right now use it as to increase explosiveness in my sprint start by placing my front leg in a sprint start on the step and as quickly and as powerful as possible explode up using the front leg and reach a certain step.

Soreness: quads

Condition: Nice warm and dry day. Came in early hoping for a good sled session, but the damn gym locked up the smaller shed with the sleds. so they have basically locked up all their porta-cabins and sheds just for use by club members. But luckily I bought a sled so will use that and then take a rubber weight plate from their gym and use it outside, even though i'm not allowed as they are restricting my use on track equipment.  :ninja:

Comment
it was a good session until the quad pain from thursday returned when I was doing my a skips, it gets painful when i apply force to the ground with leg straight with slight knee bend and I can feel it in my quads. the starts were good. sleds locked in shed, which is getting ridiculous that I have bring my own stuff, but if it's unlocked you know I'm using it. couldn't get good runs so thought atleast get 1 run in for 10m and 30m, the quad pain it starts painful and slowly reaches throbbing stage and stays there, don't know if I sprained the quad on thursday or something else. 1 hour in the gym and didn't know what to do so did some core stuff, with lots of rest between as I had to be somewhere at 1:15pm. left the gym 12:45pm.

Condition: Nice day, got to the gym at 10:45am. Finished at 1:15am. That's how long it takes if I do 2 sets of lower body because I do unilateral work, it is like 4 sets and takes long. Quad not as sore as last time fixed somethings in the deadlift.

Comments:
Good session, the BSS at 25kg dumbbells felt comfortable not hard and not easy but not much of a struggle. The BSS jumps were comfortable as well. The deadlifts I changed because I was doing it wrong, before I would place behind feet on bench and front foot ahead like in the BSS but when I would lower the weight I would have to move the barbell forward as the COM is between the 2 feet and that put unnecessary stress on the quads but moving the front foot back near the bench and placing back shins on the bench and that way less stress on quads and feet the burn in the hamstring and glutes. Good workout and tiring. Starting to building the bulging and strong core.  :ninja:

I love stairs, so much use for training, box jumps increasing the number steps every time till you reach your limit. stair runs.

I right now use it as to increase explosiveness in my sprint start by placing my front leg in a sprint start on the step and as quickly and as powerful as possible explode up using the front leg and reach a certain step.

nice!

yea i used to love running stairs.

used to run them a ton when i worked at memorial sportscenter, we were in a hospital complex which had 6 flights at the parking garage. even with only 6 flights, such a good workout.

Soreness: quads was sore again at around 6-7/10 after the BSS, but later during upper body work it calmed down.

Condition: It was a warm day, got to the gym at 10:50am, they were doing a medicine ball slam challenge; how many times you can slam the ball in 1 minute, which I agreed to at the end but ended up doing it after the BSS after 5-10 min rest. Ball was deflated that you could feel the heavy solid core in the middle, so that made it difficult.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   seated hamstring stretch
   sitting hamstring stretch each leg
   quad stretch
   single and double leg glute bridges
   kettle bell lifts with feet, cable was being used, 16kg
   back stretch

Workout
   BSS Jumps with high knee at top of jump
      - 1 x 5 each leg @bw
      - 1 x 4 each leg @5kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 5 each leg @10kg dumbbells in each hand

   BSS with front leg elevated
      - 1 x 3 each leg @bw
      - 1 x 3 each leg @15kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 7 each leg @25kg dumbbells in each hand - comfortably easy
   
   Medicine Ball Slam Challenge
      - Managed to get 38 slams, ball was slippery at times cos it was deflated, it tied the other guy in the gym, weak upper body a factor. I don't see 38 being challenging for someone. I was also slamming it fast to the ground and quickly picking it up and still 38, oh well.

   Single leg calf raises
      - 1 x 4 each leg @bw
      - 2 x 10 each leg @30kg

   Hamstring curls - quads were too sore to do deadlifts so did this instead
      - 2 x 10 @20kg

   Bench Press
     - 1 x 4 @20kg
     - 1 x 5 @40kg
     - 2 x 2 @50kg

   dumbbells bent over rows each arm
      - 1 x 5 each arm @15kg dumbbell
      - 2 x 5 each arm @30kg dumbbell

   cable kneeling crunches
      - 1 x 5 @35kg
      - 2 x 8-10 @55kg - comfortable weight to use

   lying knees to chest with cable foot strap
      - 1 x 5 @15kg
      - 2 x 8 @20kg

   holding weight plate and doing crunches without getting fully up
      - 1 x 4 @10kg plate
      - 1 x 3 @25kg - shoulders were too weak so weight was more on shoulders and less on core so I went back to 10kg plate

   side to side crunches holding weight and move it side to side
      - 1 x 5 each side @25kg dumbbell

cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
Good session, quad pain came back after the bss, jumps felt good, 10kg good weight, a lot of times where I was in the hole of the BSS jumps and would have to explode out of it instead of bouncing up and down but am improving. skipped deadlifts due to quad pain.
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

Did some treking yesterday, steep hills, which I mentioned before on this thread a while ago. There was one point and descending that I placed my foot on the side of the dirt path, which was covered in grass and was uneven and my feet rolled to the outside (twisted slightly).

So today it is sore when I place weight on my heel or near that area so decided to skip today's speed session, which I was looking forward to as BSS gives nice light feeling.

But aiming to do core work, light, everyday as well as gym core work 3 days a week, got to wake up the abs  :ninja: but primarily stronger core.  :P

Workout

General Ab workout + stair leaps

This is the core workout I do during no gym sessions and one I did today but added hanging leg raises (legs to ceilings)
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VsDP584zyQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VsDP584zyQ</a>

Stair leaps
I did the leaps and felt that I couldn't get up far enough, just managed to land on the top steps when aiming of force but when aiming for quick explosiveness I can get my feet on the step but use the walls to get the rest way up. But I just realized my normal stair leaps was one step below so it makes sense and it's good improvement I guess and the next target. Current ability is 3 steps and today I was aiming for 4 steps thinking this was my current.

Also everyday I do the baby shark ab workout  :ninja:

Comment
Good, yet hot, session. BSS 27.5kg was comfortable struggle. Calf raises difficult. shoulder press just managed to get 2, last rep very slow moving. Love core work as I have motivation to try get ripped (six pack) :ninja: . Others were ok. deadlift getting comfortable can feel it in my glutes and hamstring.
