nice butt wink, brah.

vag · « **Reply #2596 on:** March 14, 2015, 03:43:34 pm »

^^^
Obvious butt wink is obvious. My hamstrings mobility/flexibility is below zero. I haven't stretched hamstrings ( or legs or anything ) for idk, 6 months? maybe more. But i am so young that i don't need it. Oh wait...
I was more interested in my rack position, although i am not sure what i expect to hear. Ok, i have long arms, and? Just deal with it.

Bodyweight@session : ~86,75kg
Soreness : Very sore hamstrings, sore glutes, shoulders, lats (?), biceps, triceps.
Injuries/aches : none

[HANG POWER CLEAN QUEST]+ [LANCE REST-PAUSE UPPER] ROUTINE

Workout #3 ( Week #1 )

MUSCLE POWER CLEAN++HANG HIGH PULL:
5++5@20kg
3++3@22,5kg

FRONT SQUAT:
5@20kg
5@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
3@60kg
3@70kg
-Tried bb-style rack ( crossed arms ). No go, felt very unstable. Sucked it up and pushed through normal rack, went much better.
Tried to eliminate butt wink. No go, was unable to keep back tight and 'extend' hamstrings, they were too sore ( hurting even when i walk ).
Butt wink begins well below parallel, so stayed just under parallel and was good, added a good 10kg to my recent max triple.

BB OHP:
12@35kg
8@35kg
6@35kg
Total = 26 reps.
-Not bad, 45s breaks is a killer.

BENT OVER DB ROW:
12 each hand @ 30kg
10 each hand @ 30kg
8 each hand @ 30kg
Total = 30 reps.
-Very nice.

SEATED PAUSED CALF RAISE:

15@30kg
15@30kg
- Strict pause at top and bottom. Fast concentric, slow eccentric.
Very nice. Burnout, but very nice.

17 March 2015

Bodyweight@session : ~86,5kg
Soreness : quads ( mostly VMOs ) , calves, glutes, chest, triceps, lats, traps, more or less everything.
Injuries/aches : none

RUNS & JUMPS SESSION

1 MILE RUN: ( low to medium effort )
Time : 9:25
Average speed : ~10.2 kmh
Pace : ~5mins 53secs / km
Wow, never saw this coming. Above 10kmh at the first session? My relaxed mile used to be in the 11-11:30 area. Very pleasant surprise.

TEMPO RUNS ( ~60% ):
5@100m
-Times around 20s. Also a pleasant surprise, expected ~22s.
Fatigue did catch up with me fast though, so i stopped at 5th ( wanted to do 10 ). Felt like lactic buildup, not sure if it was from the running itself or already there from squatting the previous day.

10' RIM JUMPS ( toddday method ):
SVJs : 25-26''
Dropstep : 29-30''
1-step : 30''
2-step : DNF
-I call the 2-steps DNF because in my first attempts the first step was useless ( just a slow step before doing a 1-step DLRVJ ). When i actually used it for acceleration, i was not able to control the speed gathered from 2 steps, i had one terrible jump and one collapsed plant, so i stopped.
Overall very happy with jumping too. Not only i haven't done rim jumps since September or so, but legs were already tired from running and VMOs and calves were sore at a 'hurts when i touch or slightly stretch' level.

Nutrition update:
It is going well now, almost there. I gotta tweak it a little more, i am 100-200kcals off ( i end up at +700 at gym days, -400 the others, gotta make it +500/-500 ).

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : very stiff quads, mostly outer, little sore hamstrings and glutes.
Injuries/aches : shin splints, slightly.

1,5 hours full court basketball.
Very good endurance. Felt very strong too. No rim jumps, legs were off, didn't even feel like trying. Got a couple of impressive blocks though.

how is the power clean technique coming along?

came across a really cool app 'iron path' today...draws a line of the path of the bar so you can see how tight you're keeping it etc! pretty cool to play with if you can get it. free app!

vag · « **Reply #2603 on:** March 21, 2015, 07:07:07 am »

^^^
Too early to say, just 2 weeks in. Feels good. Rack is check, hook grip is check, mid-thigh height for the pull is check, hip and ankle extension is check. I have some problems achieving knee extension too at the 'heavier' weights but i am working on it.

The app looks awesome, unfortunately i can only find it in for iOS while I have android, FML.

Gonna upload some visual stuff this or the next week for progress evaluation.

Great gym day. And then , as i was driving back home, back starts hurting. By the time i was there it was clear, a left lower back strain , FFFFUUUUUU

Tried to find where it happened, my main suspect is after the BORs, when i was putting back the 32kg DB to the DB rack, i had to twist and bend to do it.
Was pretty bad Saturday, much pain on each contraction, having trouble to keep an upright posture or walk without limping. Much better Sunday. Much much better today ( Monday ), like 70% or so. Keeping on with NSAIDs and stretches though.
Gotta be thankful that it is not worse, but still hate it coz i can't workout now, i had very good momentum.

vag · « **Reply #2605 on:** March 23, 2015, 02:47:30 pm »

45-60 mins of static stretching p-chain.
Steady improvement, ~80% now, happy.

vag · « **Reply #2606 on:** March 24, 2015, 05:17:06 am »

Injury update : over 90% today,

Nutrition update : it is going good, didn't miss a single day, worse performance was -150 on a deficit day. Still tweaking it, gotta lessen lunch cabs.

And some screenshots from Saturday:

looks better! btw was watching a vid of stuart mcgill (the back guy) the other day and he was contending that squat depth is mostly genetic, depends on hip structure. interesting vid, will try to find and post.

Agreed. Kellyb that is a big fan of achieving depth discusses the same thing, if you can't avoid lower back rounding, just don't go deeper : http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/squatdepth.html
Given that chance, I was thinking of bringing back my half-squats, i always reach explosive 300-ish lbs halfs within a month of training, while i have to bust my ass for 2-3 months to get to a grinding 250lbs full one. Not dumping the full squats, but after 2-3 years of prioritizing them, maybe i should just accept that it ain't my thing, i reached my 31SVJ/35RVJ peak with halves as the primary weapon anyway...

Nutrition update:
Kcal balance is perfect now. But composition is not. Fat is too high, 40-45% on workout days, 50-55% on 'off' days. Protein is rather low too, around 100g on off days and around 150g on workout days. Need to fix both. Easy, eliminate fats from lunch, replace them with protein snacks.
I'm on it.
