200 reps core

notes:
-legs are mega sore, its probably a good thing i didnt add sprinting yesterday
-will have baseball practice and lifting later tonite

mar 23 (night)

mancini weights
baseball practice

notes:
-mancini weights is this insane weight program that all our coachs think our athletes do, but none do because no good athletes have seen any benfits from the program. in my opinion its purpose must be to help people tear their acl’s and throw out their backs bc thats all people get from it… if i write mancini weights that means i just bs’d all the lifts cept for rotator cuff and grip exercises
-im going to start taking protein powder, one scoop before weights one scoop after
-tomoro im going to try to fit in some build ups because i havent hit top speed while sprinting in ages

notes:
-i have been able to run that 3 mi trail in under 20 min but theres no reason to push my distant running for sprinting or baseball, yuh no?
-somehow the rotator cuff on my left arm is sore though i throw righty, ill ice it, doesnt hurt when i throw or swing or sprint so ill just need to be careful

A. Depletion Neutral-Grip Pull Ups (14,9,6)

notes:
-got the day off from baseball so i decided to fit in a mini speed session… runs towards the beginning, esp. my final two point run, felt really good but by the end i felt much slower
-my power clean weights are up again, soon i should be putting up the 200 i could do in the fall, esp since the second rep at 190 actually went up fairly easily, now only if i had my bench and squat strength back…
-normally i would do abs after lifting but the wegihtroom wasnt yet available so i didnt want to just sit around and waste time

notes:
-205 was a bit heavy by the last set of high pulls
-i like to increase weight when i decrease reps but i didnt have it in me today, dont wanna push myself too hard
-in my 95% effort run i concentrated on really using my arms to control my running motion and it felt good, hard to tell if i was running any faster from it though, ill have to wait til i run a 60 to see

april 1

morning weigh in -> 138 lbs :frowning:

baseball practice
2 min erg warm up
500 reps core

notes:
-i cant seem to put back on the weight i had in the fall… i must not be eating enough because im lifting more and running less? im gonna try to just eat a ridiculous amount constantly for the next couple week and see what happens
-i got sats score back today, which may seem kinda unrelated to sprinting, but the scores i got make going to an ivy league school a possibility so now just to get me down to 6.4 60 yd dash speed for baseball or 7.00 60m for track…

What did you get on the SAT?

i got a 2280 (730 CR, 770 Math, 780 Writing) so that puts me in the higher end of the middle 50% of people accepted at cornell and the other ivys…
too bad im better at sats than i am at running fast lol… i have to cut like .4 off my 55 time in the next couple years if i want to make sure i can at least continue track at any of em since theyre d1s :confused:

-im not sure why my pull ups are so bad, maybe it was the lat pull downs on fri that made the similar motion so hard
-i switched down from a 15 lb medball to an 8 lb medball after reading the “sit ups not mechanically relevant” thread and did more reps in a row and more explosively
