THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:






BLUE = current
RED = pending
GREEN = done



22 October 2010

PHASE 1 - Cycle 3 - Hypertrophy Workout 1

Bodyweight@session : ~196,5
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

SQUATS :
1x6@187
1x6@198 , ( -11 lbs )
1x6@209 , ( -22 lbs )
1x6@220 , ( -33 lbs )
187 , 199 , 209 sub-parallel , 220 half-squats.
Decided to focus on depth at that cycle , that's why loads went down.
220 was too easy though because i used the same increment with sub-parallel sets ( 11lbs ) , must remember to push the half-squats more.

BSS:
1x8@154 , ( -22 lbs )
1x8@176 , ( -22 lbs )
1x8@198 , ( -22 lbs )
Didn't remember the weights correct , duh!

LEG CURLS:
1x8@88 , ( -11 lbs )
1x8@99 , ( -11 lbs )
1x8@110 , ( -11 lbs )
1x8@132 ,  too heavy , limited ROM.

SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x12@110 , ( +22 lbs )
1x12@110
1x12@110 , ( -22 lbs )

Everything weak except from the deep squats , those were good.

that's the most red color syntax i've seen in a while loool, what happened :D

-Squats  were deep-deep-deep-legit half instead of deep-legit half-bad half-bad-half.
-BSS and curls i didn't remember right the starting load ( dumbass! ).
-SL Calves are fine , instead of 88-110-132 i did 3x110.

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?

26 October 2010

Vertical Jump Testing : Jumping on concrete , 10' rim.
Weight@session : ~197
Injuries/aches: none
Soreness : DOMS 2/5 in chest , lats , biceps, 1/5 shoulders, triceps.

- 5-10 mins dynamic warmup
- Bunch of low&mid effort warmup jumps.

1x4 SVJs : all 26''
1x4 dropstep DLVJs : 29-30-30-30
1x4 1-step DLRVJs : 32-31-31-31 ( 10'7'' with one step , niceeee )
1x4 2-step DLRVJs : 32-32-32-31 ( shins start bugging )
1x4 full runup DLRVJs : 32-31-31-31 ( meh , dropoff? )
1x3 SLRVJs : awfull , colapsing at penultimate step , couldn't even get rim , like 23'' or so...
Retest 1xSVJ : 25'' ( 1'' dropoff )
Retest 1xdropstep : 29'' ( 1'' dropoff )
Retest 1x1-step jump : 30 ( 1''-2'' dropoff )
End session

NOTES :
- SVJ = 26'' , dropstep = 30'' , WTF?
- 2-step jumps steady at 32''  , but 1-step jumps felt better although i got 32'' only one time.
- Full runup felt good and fluid , but i also got 32'' in only 1 jump , average height equal to 1-step , WTF?

well shins bugging could have derailed you in itself, but perhaps you might want to put a little reactive work in some of your non-reactive/power sessions, such as with upper body etc, just to build up your preparedness a bit more for full runups/all that force absorption.. just stuff like tucks or jump rope, pogos, etc, at submax intensity might help a bit more.

Yeah no rush. Everything comes to those that wait and work their nutsacks off in the meantime.

Fixed.

Haha. Thank you, Sir.

Thanks Kelly , bulk is nice! :D gotta put some more effort at it though , im stuck at ~197.

Damn! 8 reps with 220 lbs at the BSS? That's monster!

Ah , i forgot to type again on the title , i do them at the smith machine so they are much easier. They are still unnaturaly strong but that specific 220 set was bad ROM , more like halfs. The 198 was legit though , and the 176 was piece of cake.

Bball game.

Endurance = bad , i get tired after ~5 mins and i can't breath and request sub at ~8 mins :(

Vert = good , did only 1 jump in very fatigued state at half time and got 8'' above , but the rim was slightly bent so it's 32,5'' and not 33''. Nevertheless , touching wrist at legit indoor court rim feels damn good!

That's great in a very fatigued state.

Interestingly enough, I was jumping my highest after intense warm-ups (like 50 minutes long) - I was feeling very very tired yet was jumping very high.

very good..


conclusion: neutral.

any plans on improving your overall fitness? I think you could make some nice improvements with not much work, ie some quick interval sprints (gassers/suicides) after a session, some jump rope before or after upper body, or something.. I think you could definitely improve fitness a bit more by focusing on it a bit before or after those UB sessions, perfect place to incorporate.


peace man

Yup , gotta push it a bit more , gonna start with some indoor jumprope sessions and whenever its not too cold and rainy gonna go for intervals.
I am ashamed to admit , i've been wanting to do fitness work and some more reactive work long time now but... i was too lazy!  :-\

I think lazyness also comes from not really believe in what you're doing.

For example I'm lazy doing plyos because I don't believe they're going to help me at this moment.
