Wow very nice... I don't think I've ever hit 24 total reps in the chinups even with the bodyweight.

^Thanks. I gotta disclaim though, they were not consecutive reps: When i am at the dead hang my toes can touch the ground, so i can take a couple of breaths. 10 reps was 4-2-2-1-1. Takes little less than a minute to complete.

Injuries/aches :  :ninja:

Lance's 3-set-progress template - workout #43

LEG EXTENSIONS:
20@65 lbs
20@80 lbs
20@95 lbs
-Decided to try normal reps, 1:0:1. Was fun, 95 still easy.

BENCH PRESS:
7@148,5 lbs ( +1 rep )
7@148,5 lbs ( +1 rep )
6@148,5 lbs ( same )
Total : 20 reps ( +2 reps )
-Starting to feel it again, those were strong.

SEATED CHEST SUPPORTED MACHINE ROWS:
10@165 lbs ( +2 reps ):personal-record:
8@165 lbs ( same )
8@165 lbs ( same )
Total : 26 reps ( +2 reps )
Back is definitely getting stronger faster than chest, which was always the case anyway.

Thanks flander!
I have been consistent with upper this season, that's the secret ( no shit )! Nothing impressive, but PRs are always welcomed.
Pitty my quad injury threw me so much back on the legs training. Hope i can catch up now that i am healthy...  :pokerface:

Gym expired today. I consider taking a break for a while. Forthcoming schedule is still too busy to stay consistent, while i need/want to get back in shape and ease back to jumping.
I will take a couple of weeks attempting to : start a cut, do park stuff ( sprints/bball ) and do whatever i can at home ( pushups, pullups, bw/db stuff ) and see how it goes, then reevaluate.

3 April 2013

Bodyweight@session : ~194
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches :  :ninja:

-15 mins jogging + dynamic warmup.

-Tempo runs:
5x80m
3 minutes rest
5x80m
It was ~50-60%, run ~20 seconds / rest ~40 seconds

-9'10'' rim jumps ( yes, rim jumps after 6 months or so  :wowthatwasnutswtf: ):
3xSVJs : 25-26-26
3xdropsteps : 27-28-27

-Foam rolling.
-Stretching.

Tempo runs were great. Easy, bouncy, fluid. Jumps were off the schedule, just wanted to know where i am after so long. SVJs were great , good height and no quad stress. Dropsteps were submax, didn't want to risk restraining my quad. I will phase jumps off again now for a while, will be doing 3 sets of tempo runs plus 10-15 minutes cooldown jogging.

Did 2 sessions of foam rolling and stretching , 20-30 minutes each.

Foam rolling for reduced local discomfort is SO much better than just slow rolling back and forth. Painful as hell but it's worth it, legs feel great afterwards.

Body measurements :

Bodyweight (dry, in the morning ) : ~192 lbs
Waist : 90cm ( ~35.4'' )

Online bodyfat estimation : 17.1%
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 16.7%

Last measurements, ~2 months ago:

Did body measurements yesterday and today, same results.

Bodyweight (dry, in the morning ) : ~192 lbs
Waist : 90.5cm ( ~35.6'' )

Online bodyfat estimation : 17.5%
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 16.9%

Same bw but leaner, nice!
I've been eating around maintenance lately. Will carry on like that for the next week too, see what happens, then eventually start that cut.

-Failed to do bw/db stuff at home, expected it though, i always have problem motivating me for home workout.
-Did foam roll and stretch a lot both days though.

-15 mins jogging + dynamic warmup.

-Tempo runs:
5x80m
3 minutes rest
5x80m
~60-70% instead of 50-60. Run ~15 seconds / walk ~45 seconds
Felt good to push more today. Better breaths too and lower HR despite the faster pace.
Still not feeling like pushing 100%. Quad does not bug at all but the fear of restraining is still there.
It's all fine, i like this slow but steady progress.

-Foam roll.
-Stretch.
