Long Way To The Top...

10.40AM - Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

11.40PM - Weights

Regular (double overhand) deadlifts - 100kg x 6,4,3
1 Arm Corner Rows - 2 x Bar+12.5kg x 8
Full Contact Twists - 30kg x 8,6

Solid sessions, but the left hammy didn’t feel too good (bit sore) during and after.

9.30PM - Weights

Warm-up (see OP)

Bulgarian Split Squats - 40kg x 8, 45kg x 4,3
Push-ups - BW+15kg x 4 (CG), BW x 27,13,7
Pull Throughs - 3 x 40kg x 10
Bar Rollouts (on knees) - 2 x 30kg x 8

Skipped tempo yesterday because the left hammy didn’t feel too good. Feeling a bit better today and a fair bit better after the weights session, surprisingly. Upper body must have fallen asleep training so late, so I did some rep work instead.

[u]12.00PM - Tempo Runs

[/u]Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 8 x 25m @ 70-75% (12m walk b/w reps, 25m walk b/w sets)

Left hamstring felt fine during the session, but a bit sore a couple of hours after.

11.30AM - Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP)

3 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

CG Incline Bench Press - 45kg x 6,6,4
Medium Grip Pull Ups - BW x 8,5,3
Anti Rotation Standing Chops - 2 x 5kg x 12

Left Hamstring was a bit sore during the sprints (not the middle head which I tore, but the one closer to the groin), but feels fine now.

12.30PM - Weights

CG Incline Bench Press - 45kg x 6,6,4
Medium Grip Pull Ups - BW x 8,5,3
Anti Rotation Standing Chops - 2 x 5kg x 12

Left Hamstring was a bit sore during the sprints (not the middle head which I tore, but the one closer to the groin), but feels fine now. Nothing serious.

5.00PM - Tempo Runs

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 10 x 25m @ 70-75% (12m walk b/w reps, 25m walk b/w sets)

Went smoothly.

10.40AM - Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

11.00PM - Weights

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

Snatch Grip Deadlifts - 80kg x 3, 75kg x 3, 70kg x 3
Cable Rows - 45kgf x 8,7,5
High Cable Woodchops - 30kg x 8,6

I really don’t like doing cable rows, but I need some variety as I don’t have access to DBs at home. Woodchops were limited a bit in ROM because I’m using the multi-gym set-up (tower isn’t quite high enough).

4.00PM - Tempo Runs

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 4 x 50m @ 75% (25m walk b/w reps, 50m walk b/w sets)

No problems.

3.00PM - Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP)

FLAT SPRINTS: 5 x 5m (various starts: standing, medball accel x2, falling, push-up)

HILL SPRINTS: 3 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

4.30PM - Weights

Reverse Lunges - 50kg x 7,6,5
Weighted Decline Push-ups - BW+15kg x 6,4, BW+10kg x 4
Single Leg RDLs - 2 x 25kg x 5
DB Rollouts (on knees) - 2 x 7.5kgDB x 8

Good to finally start flat sprints again. First time trying medball accels, so will have to give them some work.

12.00PM - Weights

// Low Bar Box Squats - 75kg x 1, 70kg x 3, 65kg x 3
CG Incline Bench Press - 50kg x 4,4,3
Medium Grip Pull Ups - BW x 9,6,4
Anti Rotation Kneeling Lifts - 2 x 5kg x 8

Tightness/minor strain in the left hamstring from Wednesday session (only noticed it the day after), so I didn’t want to risk it with any sprinting.

Have too fix my squatting technique, I think my numbers are too low because I haven’t been sitting back enough (involving the hip musculature more) and using a high bar positioning instead of low bar which I tried today.

11.00AM - Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

5.00PM - Tempo Runs

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 6 x 50m @ 70-75% (25m walk b/w reps, 50m walk b/w sets)

Tightness in the right hammy. Minor strain I’m thinking, so a couple of days rest.

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

CG Incline Bench Press - 50kg x 6,4,4
Medium grip pull-ups - BW x 7,3,4

Decent session. Not happy with the MGPU though.

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

Underhand Forward Medball Throws - 10lbs x 5
Chest Pass - 10lbs x 5

2 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

Good session. The medball throws were good fun.

12.00PM - Weights

// Back Box Squats - 75kg x 3, 65kg x 5,3
Reverse Lunges - 55kg x 5,5,4
Single Leg RDLs - 35kg x 6,4

I felt a bit exhausted from last nights weights, so not the best weights session.

11.00AM - Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

3 x 10 x 15m (400m walk recovery b/w sets)

10.00PM - Weights

Deficit Deadlifts (9cm bricks) - 100kg x 6,4,3

Bulgarian Split Squats - 50kg x 4, 45kg x 3, 40kg x 5
Decline CG Push-ups - +15kg x 2, +10kg x 4,2
Romanian Deadlifts - 85kg x 7,5

Decent session. BSS went pretty well, weight felt heavy. RDLs were good though the ROM is quite restricted, might have to try them off the blocks once I can nail 100kg.

4.00PM - Weights

Zercher Squats - 75kg x 5,4,3
CG Flat Bench Press - 60kg x 5,3,2
CG Chin Ups - BW x 10,6,4
Half Kneeling Lifts - 10kgf x 4, 5kgf x 12

Good session. Zercher’s felt easy, so I’ll probably have a shot @ 85kg next week. Hammies still a bit too sore (from weights this week) for sprinting.

1.30PM - ME Sprints + Hill Sprints

Warm-up (see OP - without sprints)

Underhand Forward Medball Throws - 10lbs x 5
Chest Pass - 10lbs x 5

10m x 10 (various starts inc. goal post falling starts, falling starts, mountain climbers, push up, backpedal, standing) - 1 min recovery

HILL SPRINTS: 10 x 15m

Didn’t intend on training as I had some DOMS from last session, but felt better after the warm-up. Absolutely pissing down, so couldn’t do any medball stuff.
