Soreness: normal muscle fatigue from lifts

Condition: on leave, gym in the afternoon with slight chest infection, new year new phase, so thought to go with something comfortable weights, turns out it wasn't lol

Warm up
   Cycle machine
   Mobility and activation stretches

Workout
   Deep half pin concentric squat, thighs a little above parallel
      - 1 x 3 @ 20kg
      - 1 x 3 @60kg
      - 3 x 3,3,2 @100kg - def not comfortable
       Failed on last rep of last set
      - straight after 5 reps of 80kg

      Contrasted with general box squats at 1/4 squat to 35ish inch box for 3 reps, not difficult.

   Bent legs calf raises on leg press
      - 3 x 10 @130kg

   Shoulder press empty bar x 20

Cool down
   Stretch
     
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
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

Hey, something to be careful with as quarter squat weight gets higher is if they start to target the back more than the legs. That's what happens to me, the back quickly becomes the limiting factor with higher weights doing partial reps. Might be different for you

Might be good to experiment with some movements and see what gets your legs the best and most specific gains for sprinting. For me that's probably trap bar DL, heavy BSS with straps, hang power cleans, maybe like step ups.

If anyone disagrees or has additional feedback feel free to chip in

I can def see that, even just having on the back, slight rotate can put tension on back but after squatting tension goes off back.

But I can def feel it in the legs, the reason for what you said is because when you go deep, you can understand how far too lean then slight adjust as you go down, but when it becomes higher squat, it's harder to know the correct lean and it can be too far back or too far forward. So when squatting sometimes we just lean forward just to hit the pin and then go up.

But I use pin for the safety so I can readjust when going up, just have to be careful going down.

I plan to switch to box squats and then BSS with trap bar deadlift.

I guess that could be true, i just meant that with a partial squat you can add weight faster than with a full one and when the weight becomes high enough the back becomes the limiting factor. But as long as its working for you

Edit: yeah i dunno lol maybe not

Adding a box makes even more safer imo, you have a box to aim for rather than trying to guess the lean and the angle when descending. But I plan on doing that, what asafa is doing, but they seem to have the box quite high.

Soreness: shins and lower calves

Condition: a little cold and track surface a little slippery

Warm up
   cycle
   activation stretches
   track warm up
   sprint start practice

Workout
   quarter squats
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @60kg
      - 1 x 3 @100kg
      - 1 x 2 @140kg
      - 2 x 3 @180kg
      - 3x 0,0,2 @200kg  :personal-record:
      Note: I failed the first 2 sets due to confidence of the weight being quite high even though the unracking and stabilising was good, the failure wasn't too heavy it's like my body gave up too quick, but last set I managed 2 quite comfortably and then again failed on 3rd set. But even though a PR, I felt I could go heavier but my confidence will be even lower that high chance of failing. Used the bounce because of the weight of the barbell when it hits the pin.

   leg press calf raises at knee bent
     - 1 x 15 @190kg
     - 1 x 15 @170kg

   overhead lying down barbell lifts for lats, like skull crusher go all the back keeping elbow bent until triceps parallel to ground.
      - 1 x 20 @15kg

cool down
   stretch   
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

Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
