WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: strained
MENTAL STATE: tired but excited

- warm up

- indoor ultimate x one hour
strained my right hip, TFL/glute med area although i can't tell exactly what. lateral side. right at the end of our first game, which we won in a blowout. i tried to play the first point in the next game but had to come out. jogged a bit, did some backwards running and skipping, but this is rec league indoor. i'm not trying to push myself for that. team won the second game, too, in an awesome comeback in the final 3-4 minutes. i played badly, although not as badly as in my first game of the season.

god.

fucking.

damn it.

injuries are why i stopped playing ultimate in the first place, but i have no idea what happened to my hip today. don't remember landing awkwardly or cutting awkwardly or anything, it just started hurting all of a sudden. time for 600mg of ibuprofen and some ice and some sleep.

last night

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right hip wonky, esp. during running/walking fast; right ankle sharp but not terrible pain during push presses; ankles both a little off, maybe because of new shoes
MENTAL STATE: happy, strong sense of accomplishment because i busted my ass on some work on my day off and got it done

- warm up

- rudimentary hops

- easy short sprints to test hip
hip failed test.

- squat warm up to 185

- jump squats 40(2x20 DB) x 3,3,3

- push press 145 x 4; 115 x 4,4,4

- C1: hyper +25 x 10
- C1: DB row 80 x 10
- C1: thick band pull down x 10
- C1 info: 3 rounds, 20-30s between exercises

- stretch

decided to play it safe with the hip. no sense at all in aggravating anything. hip felt okay again this morning but i was walking extra fast to work and it started announcing itself so i slowed down. discomfort has spread around to the front and medial side of my hip flexor and seems to set in on hip extension during locomotion. the hypers did not bother it at all, nor did the jump squats. it felt fine during squatting but i didn't feel like risking any kind of load. gonna take some more ibuprofen.

no idea what was up with my right ankle during the push presses, that's not a problem i've had before and it wasn't bothering me otherwise.

I think i have asked you again but oh well, too bored to check, how much do you foal roll each part? In terms of sets/reps/style?
I go like 3 sets of 5-10 rolls , each roll takes about 10-20 seconds ( 5-10 back 5-10 forth ), not stoping at any point , just rolling slow and steady.
Also what muscles do you foam roll? Most of the time i only do the IT band, when i want a 'complete' session i also do quads and hamstrings.

TLDR version: I am aware you know your shit about mobility/SMR so I am asking for a good foam rolling sequence, with exercises, sets, reps, duration.

:lololol:
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

i don't roll for reps, i roll for time and reduced discomfort. start with a few slow rolls back and forth to find especially sensitive spots, then roll very slowly from end to end, stopping on the sticky bits. when stopped i'll sometimes move around on them, roll a bit in front and behind or on either side, move the corresponding joints around (so, e.g., when on a stick spot in ITB, i'll bend and extend my knee slowly -- this hurts). i try to move when i feel the spot getting less uncomfortable, although sometimes i get impatient and don't last that long. regular stuff is ITB, adductors, and thoracic spine with the foam roller, and t-spine, shoulders (at least traps and sometimes also a whole bunch of other shit including pecs, teres major/minor, delts, etc.), and hips with the peanut and/or lacrosse ball.

if i'm doing a "complete" or standalone SMR/mobility session that i plan to do for more than 30 minutes, i do all of those plus hamstrings, calves/peroneals, quads, and lats. i should be better about quads but that shit just hurts a lot and i'm a wuss.

Foam rolling the IT band especially in the middle is the most sorest thing, that i have to stop because the pain is unbearable.
Man is this normal.
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
------------------------------------------------------------------------

�Strength comes from the legs, Power comes from the torso and Speed comes from the arm.� � Al Vermeil
Arm also aids the legs in driving it down with power - seifullaah73

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left wrist (?)
MENTAL STATE: fine, okay, but something a little off due to wacky weekend sleep schedule

- warm up

- rudimentary hops

- jump squat 40 x 2,2,2

- SVJ x 4
first 26+, rest ~25-26

- depth jump x 4
first 27+, rest 25.5-26.5

- SVJ x 3
i fatigue so fast on these.

- squat 345 x 1; 275 x 4,4
was not focused enough for heavy rep. second backoff set was very strong.

- push press 145 x 3,3
man i don't know what happened to these. a couple of weeks ago i felt like things were clicking and now it's a hot mess. will get some vid next time, i'm sure i'm doing stuff wrong.

- C1: back extension +25 x 10
- C1: pull down x 20
- C1: inverted row x 12
- C1 info: 3 rounds, minimal rest. need to find a better way to mount the back extensions, when the weight gets heavier i'm going to have a hard time bringing it to my shoulders. even with the little bar.

- stretch

whatever.

i warm up squats like so:

HIGH BAR
- bar x 45-60s in bottom position, moving around and bouncing and rocking back and forth
- 95 x 5 with long pause at bottom
- 135 x 5 with long pause at bottom
- 185 x 5 with pause at bottom
LOW BAR
- 225 x 3-5 with pause at bottom
- 275 x 2-3 no pause
- 315 x 1

then work sets. why on earth would you max out AFTER doing other work sets? that'd be like running a few 400s and then trying to max out your 40.

WEIGHT: 177
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left wrist, left knee a little during squat warm up but otherwise okay
MENTAL STATE: fine, unremarkable, felt a little stupid cause i made it all the way to the gym from my office without realizing i was carrying the wrong bag. had to turn around and go back.

- warm up

- rudimentary hops

- SVJ x 4
25.5, meh

- depth jump 20" x 4; 12" x 4
20" is too high, i got one jump at 26 but the rest were clumsy. 12" is easier to get coordinated, hit several 26 and one 27, but i'm still clumsy with these. lots of room for improvement.

- squat 345 x 1; 355 x 1; 280 x 4,4
355 went up strong. should get 360 soon.

- S1: back extension +35 x 10
- S1: pull up x 7,7,4+2+1
- S1 info: 3 rounds, 30s rest.
jesus christ, weak on the pull ups. time to get back into these, did horribly today. back extensions get a good light pump.

- S2: DB bench 60s x 7
- S2: roman chair leg raise x 15
- S2 info: 3 rounds, 30s rest

- stretch
