My Sprint Training Journal + WS4SB

You focus too much on weights. Steroids will make you stronger but I don’t think you need more strength just to drop down from 12.4. You don’t seem to do much speed or speed endurance work. Also, your form could probably use work if you’re running 12.4. You should post video or something and maybe one of the coaches could tell you what you need to do.

Hahaha, go hustle some money and get CF’s products.

Well guys, Ive faced reality. Ill tell yall exactly what I told my boy John via PM. John is like my mentor/big brother in this forum and hes helped me realize its not worth it. Here’s what I wrote to him:

I realized that I was blinded by the dark side for a few weeks man. I realized all that crap was unneeded. Honestly, 5 years of hard work brought me to the strength and size and shape I am in now. And taking PEDs will honestly is just cheap as an athlete, especially someone whos put so much work in the past 5. So believe it or not, I reconsidered. I’m only 19 bro, I have the whole world ahead of me. Im on natural steroids at this age anyway cuz of I have a shitload of testosterone running thru my body!!! HAHAHA!! Thank you and the guys for helping me reconsider bro…My body isnt something to mess around with.

Like I wrote, I was just blinded by the shortcut for short term reasons and was not thinking long term. Thanks for saving my life. =)

Im back guys!! No use to juice if I aint even hit my potential yet!!! IM BAAACK!! =)

Im gonna hustle somebody else with that $300 I spent and trade those $300 in for doing my usual workouts x 300 like them Spartans :smiley:

RJ, yous a cheater hahahah

I’m glad you saw the light, and I hope you’re serious.

Greed and pride make men do horrible things.

Short term vs. long term…I wanna be a hornier person for the long term, not short term. If you know what Im saying ;););).

I still wouldnt call it a shortcut. It will enhance your performance and help you achieve the same results that would take 6 weeks in 4 or 5. So if you really think about it, saving 1 to 2 weeks man?? Come on, be real, its not worth it. Ill work those extra 1 to 2 weeks and do it my damn self!! Multiply my age by 52, thats how many weeks I been living. Add and extra one or two to the 6 weeks, not a big diff in the long run bro.

Are the power clean numbers in kgs?

I have a hard time grasping that your squatting 315 x 15 and your clean numbers are so low relative to your leg strength.

Still waiting on those vids…!

Elementary my dear Watson. It’s called not squatting correctly or to even a half decent depth.

Guys, I swear I go parallel or lower with my squats!! None of these fellas at the gym carry around a video camera or video phone. My iPhone doesnt have a videocamera but it is a camera phone.

And I need help with increasing my cleans!! I really use it as a warm up instead of actually going hard at it.

Tips on improving cleans/deadlifts numbers??? I need periodization for that!!

Monday 11/2/09:
3x30 (50 abs and variation 20 pushups–plyometric, closegrip, widegrip, standard, etc-- between reps)

3x40 (50 abs and variation 20 pushups–plyometric, closegrip, widegrip, standard, etc-- between reps)

1x60 (50 abs and variation 20 pushups–plyometric, closegrip, widegrip, standard, etc-- between reps)

Notes: WOW!!! First time on the track in almost 6 months and 30 pounds stronger! I was literally flying!! I felt faster and my acceleration feels as if it has improved a lot. I know my technique and start arent down pact the way they were 5 months ago but I should be back in form within 2 weeks and pushing harder than ever!!

Also, I contact my college track coach and he wasnt available so I left him a message showing interest of joining outdoor season in March.

On another note, I have to re-new my gym membership so I should be ready to re-new by Wednesday.

There is 0 chance you’re squatting to parallel if you could not easily powerclean 225 @ those strength levels.

Stop hating on the young stud!! :slight_smile:
