interesting journal…do you plan on doing any tests

thanks

Ya, so far the tests that I have done are a clean max, squat max, SLJ, and STJ. I also do the tests 5 Bound and 30m but haven’t done them this training year yet but have times and distances from last year to compare them too. I occasionally do other tests but those 6 are my main ones.

Normally I take Mondays off and use it as my rest day but tomorrow I am getting my wisdom teeth out which is really screwing up my planning. So i moved tomorrows session to today and then next week will be interesting, I have no clue how I am gonna feel,. My hope is to be able to run on Thursday and resume where i left off, hopefully i am not being too optimistic.
On a good note, today’s speed session was really good. I felt very fast and relaxed. during the 30s i felt like i was still accelerating at the 30m mark which is good, i think??

Week 8- Unintentional Unload
Tuesday August 11

Off

Got my wisdom teeth out this morning, it was very quick and easy for them to do. I had small deformed teeth that were visible, probably couldn’t have been any easier for them. Im not feeling much discomfort which is good but im still gonna take 2 maybe 3 days off cause they said i shouldn’t do anything for a few days.

Weights are going really well. I hit 245x3 in the squat and when i text next week I’m expecting to hit 2xBW in the Squat which would be a nice milestone. Also the cleans felt good too, i expect a big PR when i test next week as i got up 155, after already doing a lot of training already, pretty easily. I feel pretty good on the sprints as well but its really hard to tell when you’re running by yourself and you’re on grass, but next week i am hoping to time via video some 30s. I have done this before (last year) so ill have something to compare it to.
