Cool. FWIW, here's a tutorial my man Jimmy put together about how to do it: http://beastskills.com/tutorials/tutorials/54


Yea thanks, somebody linked that to me a few weeks ago. That's actually when I decided I wanted to start working on it. You know that guy?

First time back doing a squat session.

135x5 185x5 205x5 205x5 205x5 215x5

Ankle felt pretty good, very little to no discomfort when squatting, after session I could feel it a little bit but nothing bad at all.

Squats were kinda tough but I don't think I have lost a ton of strength but definitely a decent amount. I think a lot of it will come back very quickly with each session.

nice.. ya man i knew you'd be able to push alot more weight than you thought you could, before discomfort set in..

if it feels a little weird tomorrow just ice it, but you're not letting it know it needs to REALLY get stronger, otherwise it'd feel shitty forever.. gotta slowly provide that stimulus for adaptation/strength.

Also did some flag "attempts", they were much better than they have been. Got lower body up much higher, can't hold for any amount of time though. Did some core exercises afterwards.



nice, those are pretty sick, i can't even do a daggerflag.

I just got up a little bit ago and it feels fine, don't notice anything. I could have pushed more weight yesterday for sure but I wanted to make sure that very little discomfort I had wasn't going to make it worse the next day.

So now I will feel comfortable adding weight next time, will probably go with 225-235 4x5. I was thinking just two full days of rest since ankle feels fine and the weight wasn't really that tough.

lol I'll get some footage of my attempts when they get better and are worth looking at.

12-16-10

Played tennis for the first time in two months earlier in the day, very light.

Light skipping and light pogo hops - little stress on injury

Squat: 135x5 185x3 225x5 235x5 245x5 245x5

      -Last two sets were pretty tough. I think my max squat is around 300 right now... somewhere around 2xbw so I really haven't lost that much. I was at about 2.15xbw.

      - Very little discomfort during squats.



After skipping/pogos/squatting my ankle was a little aggravated but not bad (I could notice the injury but it wasn't painful) which I think is good. I hope this will speed things up. Icing it right now as I'm typing this.

Also did some core exercises and flag attempts.

Forgot to log a few days ago... 12-18-10

Ankle rehab during upper body session:

Resistance band around forefoot, 2 sets of each- in/out/up/down.

Light sprint down long hallway (~20-25yards), ~20 light pogos, light skipping back down hallway - 3 sets of this

2 sets of one legged calf raises on stairs.

Ankle flared up a little from this session, iced afterwards and the next day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


12-20-10

Ankle rehab:

Resistance band- 3x20 each - in/out/up/down

3x15 one legged calf raises on stairs. 2x15 with foot turned to the inside ~30 degrees.

Stretched by pulling forefoot back towards body and to the inside a bit.

Epsom salt with warm water, stretched again afterwards.

be careful with the ONE LEGGED calf raise, i'd just go two for now, or at least rotate single and double.

adarq: thanks, I put dips after incline press, ended up doing reverse grip flat bench instead, supposed to get a lot of upper chest involvement in that.

12-23-10

Did some ankle rehab during upper body workout. Made some nice pr's in upper body workout (day 1).

Light sprints to warmup.

A few sprints starting in 3-point stance- start doesn't bother it at all anymore, can push off hard- no problems. Don't feel ankle until I'm a few yards in to sprint, maybe around 6th step but first few steps are fine.

Light pogo hops

A few light one step jumps

Skipping- pushing off with left foot is fine but sometimes I notice it when landing on left foot.

Did a lot of stretching in between and after, mostly standing on edge of stair calf stretch.

Ice bucket afterwards.




Ankle is a little inflamed today, icing some more.

  I would move the incline flys from your first chest day to the second chest day.  Also doing dumbell flat bench press on the second day instead of hammer strength press might give you better results.  So 2nd chest day (same set/rep scheme) would be d-bell flat bench press and incline flys.  Chest day 1 would be the same minus the incline flys.  That will allow you more quality volume without over doing the same movement pattern in the same workout.  Looks good tho, give those suggestions a shot if you like, sorry it took me so long bro, been running in circles trying to get everything ready for the holidays!@!

Thanks, yea I'll switch what you said. On the 2nd chest day I did hammer press just to do something different. But maybe I'll do db flat bench again and just do higher reps (like 10-12) and try to keep db flat bench on day 1 to 6-8. Should I still hit up cable cross overs on the second chest day or just do db press and incline flys?

Thanks man.



Happy Holidays to anyone reading my journal!

 Yea, you could play with the set/rep scheme and do them both or do incline and dip on day one (dip would be horizontal chest press, incline d-bell would be more vertical chest press) then do dbell flat and incline fly on day 2, so you have both days not training too many movements in the same range.  And yea, you can still do cable crosses on that day, I like them alot better than flys anyway, the continuous tension + more joint friendly angles are nice with the cables.
Relax.
