Tuesday 17th November 2020

Did more cutting on my gym rubber mats and some cleaning ebfore workout, about an hour's worth

Soft tissue work - some lower body

bodyweight at home without shoes in winter clothing = 85.5kg

at home - Juggernaut Squats  - Cycle 1 - Week 11 - 5s Wave - day 1 Realization

Peterson setups 6 inch x10, Patrick step up 6 inch x10
supported ATG split squat BW x10 + 20 sec hold at bottom on last rep
Broom dislocates and overhead squat

alternating sets 2 mins rest
in flat, minimal trail running shoes (Merrell Vapour trail 4)

Olys + front squats -

power snatch complex x 20kg
Power snatch + 12 overhead squats, deeper each rep x 20kg

Power snatch + 3 Hang Power Snatch x 30kg
Power snatch + 2 Hang Power Snatch x 40kg  - both hang P.snatch missed - 4 inches short of lockout
Power snatch 40kg 2x3, x1

1x power clean + 3 high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 40kg, 50kg
high hang power clean x 60kg

power clean 60kg x2, x1 + front squat

Hang power snatches well down today... no speed :/
widened my grip an inch either side on the cleans and front squats as the rack strains my left bicep area.
Pinkies almost on inner the rings now

Squats

Did these before the back squat of the same load
Front Squat 60kg x3, 80kg x3

High bar squat - belted -  bare feet 60kg x pause with 10 deep breaths, 60kg x10. Oly shoes - 60kg x5, 80kg x5, 100kg x4, x2,  110kg x3, 120kg x2, 140kg x 5 sec support

85% of training max 152.5kg
130kg, 283lbs x5 @ RPE 10

rest 6 mins
115kg, 253lbs x6 @ RPE 8

Was expecting between 7-9 reps with 130kg, so a bit disappointing to only hit 5 reps...Just expected more when I did 115kg x 12 a few weeks back....
But it didn't feel super heavy, so I'm probably not that fatigued.
Still, it's the best I have squatted so far.
Puts e1Rm around 150kg

Changing things up next week and back to doing my own thing.





This group in Oly shoes - alternating sets 2 mins rest

A1) RDL - to mid shin - facing down slope of garage, hook gripped -  clean deadlifted off the floor - 60kg x5, 100kg x3
belt/straps - 115kg 2x10 @ RPE 9  (+5kg)

Tweaked something in my rear right oblique, hurts like hell right now :(
Again not that hard for my posterior chain, but taxed my upper body.

A2) SSB single leg calf raise - arm supported - 1 inch elevated 3 sec eccentric to neutral position, explode up - BW x 5, 30kg x5, 50kg x 5, 70kg x3
80kg x11, x12 @ RPE 8 (+2.5kg)

A3) Wall tib raise - lower body at 40 degree angle - upper body off wall - in oly shoes - BW x5, 2x12 @ RPE9

Glute bridge slider leg curl - BW  2x10 @ RPE 9

SSB Heel elevated Step down Oly shoes + 20kg bumper under heel.
3 sec eccentric, other leg helping on concentric - 50kg x5, 57.5kg 2x15   (+2.5kg, +5 reps)

For quad tendon

Nice session mate.

Thanks, but it could have been better
Really need to shorten my sessions a bit, starts to drag towards the end

Need more sleep as well... next door child care centre doesn't help :/

Wednesday 18th November 2020

Very mild drained feeling.
A bit achey all over, but lower body is not that much compared to the usual, especially my upper hamstrings which are usually pretty sore after each lower session.
My traps, shoudlers and biceps are more sore from the olys....

Left quad tendon feeling much better, as are both achilles.

Thursday 19th November 2020

Whole body fairly sore. Thankfully tweaked rear oblique seemed ok today.

Soft tissue work - skipped

bodyweight at home without shoes = 84.9kg


Resistance at the Home

Didn't feel like training, but I did and the session turned out good

------

externally rotated band pull apart - to forehead, shoulder, sternum + star drill combo - light rogue band  - dual strands x 10 each, 20 secs rest between each axis
band rows x 15
Yates rows 20kg bar x 15

Dip shrugs - BW x20 @RPE 6
Vertical wall ab wheel roll outs - pulling handles apart with hold at top x20


Rotating sets between each exercise 2-3 mins
A1) inverted rows - undergrip - explosive - legs bent BW x8, BW x8
explosive - weight vest+10kg x 3x9 @RPE 7

A2) Pushups to upper abs - Close grip triangle - explosive - BW x10, feet elevated 18 inches x5
Weight vest+10kg  x11 @ RPE 7

Straight bar dip -  Weight vest+10kg x3, BW x8 @ RPE 7 (+10kg, -3 reps)

Not too hard even with an extra 10kg

AB1) High angle rows to ribcage  - slight pause at bottom, explosive - barbell 20kg x15, 40kg x5, 60kg x3
explosive
65kg 2x10 @RPE 9  (+1rep)

10 reps hit, increasing weight next session

B2) Bench - shoulder width 14 inch grip 20kg x10, 40kg x10,
60kg x10 @ RPE 7
70kg x10 @ RPE 8.5 (at lower RPE)
75kg x7 @ RPE 9 (at lower RPE)

All loads felt much easier than last week, but I didn't try for an extra rep on 75kg.
Been trying a new progression scheme, filling out each weight to 10 reps and keeping it there as the RPE drops as I get stronger.
So they end up as a warmup eventually, and improve work capacity

C1) single leg SSB Knee over toes soleus calf raise 3.5 inch elevation - Explode up, 3 sec eccentric -  30kg x5, 50kg x5, 70kg x3
80kg 2x11 @ RPE9 (+2.5kg)

C2) Zercher Hold - with rolled towel 60kg x 5 secs, 80kg x 5 secs
100kg x 35secs, 45secs (+5kg)

60kg feels really light now, funny how it felt so heavy 8 workouts ago!

CD1) single leg SSB calf raise 3.5 inch elevation - 3 sec eccentric, 2 legs up -  50kg x5, 70kg x3
80kg x11 @ RPE9

CD2)Muscle clean and press - no hip drive, elbows tucked 20kg x8, 32.5kg x10 @ RPE9 (+2.5kg)

D3) AB wheel rollouts - legs bent x 12, leg straight x3
on feet, straight legs - 85% ROM - 3 count pause - BW x8 @RPE 9  (facing down slope, -1 rep)

Facing down slope of garage so a bit harder

D4) SSB Peterson step ups3.5 inch step - controlled eccentric - 50kg 2x15

L hang - Medium grip pull up to base of neck - BW x6 @ RPE 9

Barbell curl explosive - 20kg x10, 30kg x1,
30kg x9 @ RPE 10 (+2 reps)

Work capacity improving, as I gain reps back despite increasing weight on Zercher holds.


Miscellaneous stuff

hang from bar,  2x20 scap shrugs

Scarecrow into press - 40 degree chest supported- 5lbs x10, 7.5lbs x9 @RPE 9
Elbow on knee external rotations - 15lbs x 15 @ RPE 9.5 (+5lbs)

Lateral walks - band around knee, 11 steps each direction x3 with Iron Edge XXHeavy band x 2 sets
Jumpstretch monster mini band dislocate + stretch x a few

release rectus femoris with olympic bar

stretch

Mild tired feeling. Whole body is moderately sore.
Legs have a bit of that powerful feeling, so Sunday is looking good for Bball/jumps.

re: RDLs taxing upper body, maybe kroc rows? you've got those high-angle BB rows in there but might not hurt to throw in kroc rows at the end of a workout like that. i used to love doing them.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Isn't that basically just a single arm bench supported row?

I think Pendlay rows might work better, but I'm worried about adding more lower back stress, as that area recovers so slow.
Although big deadlifters have big numbers on rows as well.

Wednesday 25th November 2020

Crap sleep, but better than yesterday

Ok session given this and recent stress.
Sure smoked my quads and hamstrings without beating me up into a pulp

Resetting things up


Soft tissue work - skipped

bodyweight at home without shoes in winter clothing = 85.1kg

at home - Lower week 1

front and side planks x 30 secs each

Peterson setups 6 inch x10, Patrick step up 6 inch x10
supported ATG split squat BW x10 + 20 sec hold at bottom on last rep
Broom dislocates and overhead squat

alternating sets 2 mins rest
in flat, minimal trail running shoes (Merrell Vapour trail 4)

Olys -

power snatch complex x 20kg
Power snatch + 12 overhead squats, deeper each rep x 20kg

Power snatch + 3 Hang Power Snatch x 30kg, 35kg, 40kg, 42.5kg
Power snatch 47.5kg 2x2

1x power clean + 3 high hang power clean  47.5kg, 50kg
high hang power clean 55kg x2

power clean 60kg x3


Squats

Did these before the back squat of the same load
Front Squat 60kg x5, 80kg x5, 90kg x3

High bar squat - belted -  Iron Edge XHeavy band around knees
bare feet 60kg x pause with 10 deep breaths, 60kg x10.  Oly shoes - 60kg x5, 80kg x5, 100kg x4, 110kg x3

4+ mins rest
no band around knee - controlled down - 115kg, 253lbs x5 @ RPE 9

all sets, band around knee
105kg, 231lbs x5 @ RPE 8
paused - 105kg, 231lbs x5 @ RPE 9

90kg, 198lbs x8 @ RPE 8.5
rest 30+ secs
90kg x 5 @ RPE 9.5

resetting my squat form Max Aita style, staying as upright as I can, while keeping back angle on the way up,  the same as on the way down.
Keep the pressure on the quads.. I squat to improve leg strength so why let them off the hook and lean forward when it gets hard?
I recently did 115kg x 12 using my old way, and half of that today, show you how much stronger my posterior chain is vs my quads.

Also used bands around the knee of most of my sets today

Will build on today each week.
