DAILY SMR:

Foam rolling:
IT band for 3 sets of 5 slow up and down rolls.

Stretching:
Quads, hamstrings, hip flexors:
3 sets throughout the day, 1 min holds at each position.

SMR COMMIT COUNT: 2/4

The amount of pain and tightness, it is still too damn high!
This really works, every next day legs are so fresh. Also the various tweaks. E.g. i tweaked my left hip flexor Wednesday, it was pretty painful, after yesterday's session it just went away.
I am a giant dickhead for constantly neglecting stretch/foam roll.

Bodyweight@session : ~83,5kg
Soreness : tight quads, glutes, calves
Injuries/aches : none

RUNS & JUMPS SESSION :

1 MILE RUN :
Time : 10m ( +1m )
Average speed : ~9.6 kmh ( -1,1 kmh )
Pace : ~6m:15s / km
-Slow. Didn't push it, haven't run for 3 weeks. Legs started getting too tight after first 500m, had no hope to push even if i wanted to.

TEMPO RUNS:
10x80m@60-70%
Run ~15s / walk ~45s / repeat.
-Nice.

TODDDAY METHOD JUMPS:
SVJ : max 26'' ( - 0,5'' )
Dropstep : max 30'' ( + 1'' ) , ties season best!
1-step DLRVJ : max 30'' ( maybe one 31'' but not sure )
-Very strong and bouncy dropstep.
1-step felt a bit off but i got this one jump that felt like the 'old times', very good, able to feel the hangtime. I touched the 9'8'' rim 1'' below wrist and i think it was on the way down. Must have been 31''

Then i went to the 9'6'' rim and dunked a bit. I can throw dropstep 2-handers and hard tomahawk 1-handers off 1 step there as i am now.
Feels good initially, but I get over it and lose motivation too soon, not much challenge, the rim looks too low, I don't like it.
Overall not bad at all for not running and jumping the last 3 weeks.

Now i have to:
-Keep at it.
-Start recording the jump sessions.
-Remeasure the low rims. They used to be 9'10'' and 9'8'' but they look lower, but not sure how much lower. I am using 9'8'' and 9'6'' for my calculations to be sure i don't cheat, but must verify.

It is working, tightness is going away. Rolling is much less painful now, i can put more pressure and go slower. Nice.
Needs more stretching though, gotta get to 3 sessions/day.

Hey do you think high volume low weight calf raises are better than low volume high weight? Are they better for tendon stiffness?

Also do you stand on an elevated surface with the balls of your feet and go all the way up when you do them?

vag · « **Reply #2693 on:** June 05, 2015, 05:06:49 am »

^^^
Definitely high volume, with the heaviest weight that you can do without sacrificing ROM and form ( most important cues : reach full extension at top, don't bounce at the bottom ).

Here is a small abstract talking about the volume:

Quote

The range of motion of a calf raise is so short they require either higher reps or intentionally slower tempos to get the same time under tension as most typical movements. For example, a heavy set of 5 squats performed at a normal tempo might take 25 seconds to complete. Most people will complete a heavy set of 5 calf raises in 10 seconds or less. Therefore it's essential you either increase the reps per set or slow the movement down. I consider a set of 25 calf raises approximateley equivalent to a set of 8 squats as far as the qualities effected. If you want to utilize lower reps try using a 5 seconds eccentric (lowering phase). One workout I like is 5 sets of 5 reps with a 5 second lowering phase, 1 second pause, and explosive concentric.

Read the hole article too : http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/calftraining.html

As for where i do the raises, my gym has both standing and seated calf raise machines ( google them ) , so i train them 2 times a week, one day is standing 3x30 , other day is seated paused 3x15. Other options:
-Leg press: load it , push it normally, then slowly move your feet off the pad so only ball of feet support it, lock the knees, do the reps, put feel back on pad, bring it back.
-Smith machine, use a few plates on the ground to create the deficit you need for your eccentric.
-Single leg calf raises on whatever elevated surface. Those are awesome, you will find BW very challenging , if not then you can hold a DB with your free hand ( you need the other one for balancing ).
