HS Short Sprinter's Training Journal

Never said anything was wrong with it. I was asking him the reasoning behind it. Nothin more or less.

Cool makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

I wouldn’t say power endurance but more work capacity development.

How many weeks do you plan on sticking with the 10reps for squats? Do you like the density cleans?

as for squats im staying in 8+ reps for the first 4 weeks then im going to do mid rep stuff like 5x5 for a few weeks. i have it kinda planned but for weights, the workouts are made depending on how i am feeling at the time. Originally i was gonna do a max strength phase after that, but im thinking about not doing too formal of a MaxS phase since im still relatively untrained and might not be appropriate or needed. What are you thoughts on that?

As for cleans, they are not nearly as difficult as i thought they would be. i can easily finish the session with no problems. I find keeping track of the time more difficult than actually completing the workout. I think they are helping me but i find them boring an monotonous and cant wait to be done with them.

How do you like your format of doing singles for your oly’s? I have been contemplating it.

Its very different from anything i have ever done, in the past i usually stayed with lower reps and heavier weight. But overall i like it, im not sure how much it has helped since i have only been doing it for 3 sessions, but i will retest my max clean in week 4, so that will provide some feedback. I personally dont like doing 3x10 with olympic lifts and feel this is much better. The only bad things so far is it does take a beating on your wrists and timing the rest between sets and keeping track of how many sets you have done is annoying to say the least.
