Thursday 12/2
Warmed up, had a track friend come out and film some of the work and critique my technique.
Med ball throws
Backward OVH x 8 (18-24 yards w/ 8 lb med ball, 20-21 was the typical throw)
Squat throw x 4
Single hop throw x 4
Double hop throw x 5
Triple hop throw x 4
I could tell my broad jumping was stronger than the other day, felt pretty good considering how weak and non-explosive I’ve been feeling.
Accels (all were 10 yards)
4 x standing
6 x falling
2 x 3-point
I feel like we made improvements but I want to wait to put up technique fixes until you guys get to see the videos so you can form your own opinions without considering what my friend had to say.
Front squats: 135x8, 185x5, 135x10
My back just wasn’t having it today. Decided to take it safe.
Stair jumps
Single hop 2x4 (4 steps, easy)
Double hop 2x2 (4-4, 4-5, easy)
Bench: 135, 155, 175 x 10, 10, 2(10)
Still feel nasty tightness in my left pec while benching. Still not certain how I’m planning on progressing with this, but I’m seriously debating dropping bench for push press (to compliment the overhead press work I’m already doing).
Pullups: BWx12,10 (easy)
Abs on GHR w/ miniband: 20, 25 (tough as hell)
Reverse hypers: 70 x 8,10,10 (very easy, trying to be safe)
Stretch
Edit: forget to add bench in earlier
