I’m back to being me. The typical productive, goal-oriented me. The fire is back. It’s time to get serious for my senior year. Some girls can run their mouths a little too much and have to be careful of what they say.

Next week, I will get rid of some workouts for each day because it’s redundant and it’s more like a bodybuilding workout than a sprinter’s workout.
It looks like your training is really starting to shape up quite a bit. I do have a recomendation based on experience. Move deadlifts to the begining of the workout and cut the reps. They are so hard on the cns due to all the different muscle groups that you recruit that your probably not reciving yoru full benifit from them. I can’t imagine doing 10 reps of deadlifts my form would break down too much. Running training looks great, make sure you monitor volume.
No prob bro. I’m getting back in shape after I sprained my knee. What can I say? I’m a quick healer. I’m slowly picking up from where I left off during the summer.
As for the deadlifts, why not do high reps? I’ve read and heard about high rep DLs/Squats are good and effective. I don’t mind making it my first workout, I would actually prefer that IMO.
Saturday:
Played football for about 3 hours.
I had 6 tackles and a TD =]
I feel that proper from is very crucial in deadlifts, even more so than in some other lifts. I feel my own form start to breakdown so bad that I cannot do anything past 6, others can probably handle 8 but anything after that and the chance for injury is greatly increased imho. I have gotten the best results from 3 reps in the deadlift and 5 reps in the squat but I do perform varying amounts of reps.
Monday:
Had a school trip to Bear Mountain. I was with the most chill group ever of course :D. Top dawgs always be with top dawgs.
Wow it was a pain in the ass hiking and climbing and going up that mountain. But it was worth it in the end. All that pain and everything :D. View was beautiful.
Well, you expect me to eat clean after a grueling climb all the way up the mountain? NOT. When we got down, I got me some cheese fries with a diet coke and then proceeded to have a Belgian waffle with ice cream and chocolate and whipped cream on top as dessert. Yummmm.
Well, after all that, Im heading to the gym right now. Ill post when I get back.
I’m back. Today’s workout was the worst workout I have ever had. I didn’t feel great in neither of my main lifts.
Deadlifts 4x8,5,4,3
–I really need gloves, I kept losing grip
Bench Press 6(?)x8,7,6,5,6,6
–lost count of sets, that was how bad the BP was today, I couldnt even rep my usual weight nor was I able to do successful 8 reps with one plate lighter.
Barbell Rows 4x8
–no problem here
Wide-Grip Pullups 5x5
–Im still not good at these. I have to get better.
Abs
Incline Leg Raises 4x15
Hanging Leg Raises 4x12
Weighted Incline Situps 4x12
–Superset with Clapping Pushups 4x10,8,6,6
Weighted Oblique Side Bends 4x15
Overall, today’s workout was weak as heck. I really need to invest in gloves. Not everyday can be a great day. I guess the mountain climbing/hiking took out a lot from me but Im not going to give any excuses. It wasnt even lower body workouts so I dont see how the climbing effects this. Ah well, cant always get what you want. Gotta buy gloves before I do my next deadlift session.
Tuesday:
Ahh, the day after the trip. Back to school. Snap. I got a 91 on my Forensics test so I ended the school day with high hopes :D.
Track:
Seagrave Warmup
6x30 with 45-60 sec rest
5 min rest

10 min rest and on to my SE
3x250 with walk back to start recovery (2-3 mins)
1x150
–This was supposed to be my 3rd 250 but I got a little too excited and had less rest so I burned out quicker.
Track work was great. No problems here.
45 min walk to gym and a Strawberry Nutrament + creatine (as always :D)
Gym:
Squats 4x8
Reverse Leg Press 4x10
Barbell Curl 4x8
French Curl 4x8
Standing Calf Raises 4x12
In and out the gym in an hour, fine by me. I like this less of a workload. I took out the workouts that weren’t required and kept the compound exercises.
