notes:
-i was planning on doin a small speed workout but the gym was being used…
-team weightlifting starts tomoro, hopefully the program is what i remember and is concentrated mainly around grip and rotator cuff stuff
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

-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

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

(schools gym)
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
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…
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

notes:
-in my starts im having way too much heel recovery, hopefully when i do my gpp for indoor season i can get rid of it, i try to really only cue on arm swing and its just what my legs do naturally
-im trying to eat more but being full makes me feel tired… guess ill just have to deal with it

notes:
-i went slower in the 3 mi run this time than i did last week and i feel much better, hammys still were killing me in the run tho, thanks rdl’s…
-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

(schools gym)
notes:
-my left shoulder felt some pain from the side pull downs so i lightened my last couple reps back down to 60
-i had to drop weight on my last set of dbib because i failed on rep number 4
i got to run from first to home in my game today, speed felt decent but its tough to tell when having to turn so sharply
baseball game (2 SB, 1 bunt for a hit)
6 min abs
30 stomach vacuums
static stretching
notes:
-im having too much heel recovery after my first two or so steps while stealing, i must be cueing my legs wrong if this keeps happening, ill try to strike my foot down more than back so maybe fuller triple extension will help my legs go in a more piston-like path
-i felt pretty slow today but the infield dirt at the field i played on was very soft and clay like so i hope it was just that
