notes:
-not sure if the lost weight is from muscle or what, because my strength hasnt gone down, but i am seeing more rib bones than ever, so it may just mean i have lower bf% now
-today ends my unloading/low volume/prep week for october training, ill be going full steam until about oct 22 now
-i plan to try using creatine this month. with the amount of tempo i do and my natural low body weight i think the strength increases i see will be worth the extra pounds from water retention. if i dont like it i wont continue use in novemeber. i do not plan to use creatine during indoor season
-on a more random note my triple broad jump is 30 ft, my vertical jump is 38-39" (my reach is 6’9" and i can grab a ten foot basketball rim) and i could probably squat 2x my bw to parallel for like 7 or 8 reps. i no these dont translate directly to running speed, but i seem to have the raw physcial capabilities to run some good times this year
-i plan to weigh in before octobers unloading week just in case i lost a pound or so from the lower volume

notes:
-my acceleration position is slowly improving in the push ups starts. my heel recovery is low again and my contact time for the first couple strides is lengthening out again. i need to concentrate on hitting triple ext and maintaing a staright back still
-during tope speed my hip height isnt great, but i belive that once i get on the much harder track surface it will be much better than it is on the somewhat soft grass surface i ran on today. i have been working on posterior tilit of the hips while at top speed, so now i can cue stepping down and the stretch reflex is taking care of making my knees “hit th top”

notes:
-usually saturday is my off day, but i cant train tomorrow so…
-my running volume was low because my lower body is having some severe doms. no injuries or anything but i dont want to over do it anymore than i already have, or go 4 days without any speed work
-i pred again in benching, next session i am sure i will make 5x5@180, so either the creatine is working wonders or i handled unloading then increasing volume well. either way im happy, the heavier my bench is the better i can use it as stimulus inseason

notes:
-man the speed wasted both me and my partner today, we havent had many sprints over 30m so thats probably why

notes:
-i have never done a full out sprint over 55m before, so doing the longer sprints was interesting. my top speed felt fantastic, but my transisition phase felt kind of slow an i have trouble telling the quality of my starts unless im against others. hopefully the EFE’s will take care of me being uncomfortable with the upright acceleration phase
-my bench increased, finally, haha. i guess my weight sessions are better in the mornings
