notes:
-i meant to do the stretching yesterday but I didnt have time. today i had a weight day planned, but i wasnt feeling well so i took the day off
-i was planning on squatting, and the next day i had planned was next friday, so im considering adding in a lower volume of squats sometime earlier this week

notes:
-i thought i might just make a couple notes in case i forget what some of my notations are:
–# means i want to up the weight i use on that lift, * means put it down. i up weight when i can complete the whole 5x5 or whatever
–all weights are listed in lbs
–rest intervals are from the end of the first type of lift in the superset til the first rep of that same lift again
–any “2x10:” means i went through the circuit with little to no rest between exercises. if a rest interval is listed after this that is the time i took off between finishing the last exercise in the circuit and starting the first
–all runs on grass are retrorun (i turn to the right if needed). all runs on track are run the normal direction. tempo is started from an upright position, and speed has my starting position listed (either 3 pt, blocks or push up)
–a / between weight numbers means at some point i had to change the weight for a set or more

notes:
-i plan on dropping cleans until in season, they put a lot of pressure on my wrists, and it kind of hurts, so ill work on my wrist flexibility. i like them for the fact that they still have an anterior part, as opposed to high pulls, so id like to go back to them in season for when i cant afford to squat because of soreness
-my second 70yd felt screaming fast (for me), hopefully it wasnt just a feeling

notes:
-i was feeling pretty burnt right when i entered the weightroom, ive been working pretty hard this week. i went low volume, but managed to pr on squat (ive never actually put 315 on the bar before)
-i plan on unloading/prepare for novemeber training this upcoming week, i will make a template tomorrow (which i’m taking off)
-i did light hammy work because the 200s have been trashing them

weigh in -> 148lbs
some microstretching
notes:
-squat volume was good, im feeling little to no doms from them. my hammys are kind of sore though
-after eating as much as i can muster, and lifting six days a week im still stuck under 150 :/, this upcoming month im reducing weekly tempo by ~2000m and spreading it over 4 days instead of three. im continually getting stronger, and i am seeing my muscles tone up, nd gte a bit larger, but i think im burning toom any calories. i literally cant fit any more food in my stomach each day, so maybe reducing excess tempo will help

notes:
-im going to do medball throws once a week so i can use them inseason, when tempo will be harder to do from a conditioning standpoint as the winter is harsh. i plan on doing a hard isometric core work the day after, so i can cut the low intensity ab circuit i usually do on benching days. in season i will use more low intensity ab work, but id like to work more on ab strength out of season

some microstreching (i didnt finish yesterday)
notes:
-i went to the mall yesterday to restock on my supplements, so for the month of november (or at least til thanksgiving) i will be drinking a protein or wegihtgainer/creatine shake and taking a multivit when i wake up, sometimes a creatine shake an hour pre work out or so, and a weightgainer/creatine shake postworkout, then zma before bed. i still have some protein powder left, but im switching to a massgainer because i seem to be stuck at 150 as far as weight, and i think being a little thicker would benefit me. plus having more carbs immediately postworkout should help recovery

light stretch
notes:
-because of limited training time tomorrow, and the fact that lower weights takes me the longest, i switched lower weights to today and my core circuit to tomorrow
-i timed my last 30m blocks. ran a 4.16 (i taped it and a friend used computer software to time me from first movement through crossing the finish). this run didnt feel as good as the second one, but according to the time transferrer i used, that’s like a 6.5h 55m. if im at that point already, im pretty happy, since i want to run a 6.4h (also, i believe at this point last year my partner was handtiming me in the 4.1x-4.2x range, so that means ive improved by probably .2 just over 30!
