light stretch

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:

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

light stretch

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

2 min abs circuit
light stretch

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

light stretch

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
