Dang man, I really want to do those EFE sprints. I feel that my top speed and maxV needs the most work, and my accel is probably fine.
Ya my HS had a power runner, and I thought it was more quad dominant. With my school’s reverse leg press machine, I think it is just a little bit more quad dominant than some reverse leg press machines I’ve tried at other gyms. I feel it most in the glutes, then quads, then hamstrings.
No problem, do what you feel is best. Remember Davan ran fast indoor 55-60’s and he doesn’t have great top speed. Accel is foundation to all speed qualities.

Tough one today, but did feel strong during these today. Hamstrings were pretty tired afterwards.
My calves/soleus are destroyed from Wednesday’s workout. I ran in some track waffles, not a good idea.
Right now I’m icing and doing some palpating until I can feel better.
LOL… Have you notice the pause squats helping your starts any?
Ya I would think so. When I started doing them in week 1, I could barely hand handle 275, but now I’m able to easily explode with it. The pause squats very well could have helped my starts.
You gonna have starts like Mo greene.

Liked the CF MB circuit today, a lot harder circuit than what I was doing. I almost got kicked out of my own gym that I work at because some guy on the staff didn’t like that I was throwing the MB against the wall (I didn’t have a partner to throw with). Apparently he thought I was damaging the MB’s that are meant to bounce…

Session felt good today.
Nearing the end of your gpp what are some things you would have done differently?
Well I actually have the remainder of week 6 and 2 weeks + an unload week left before my tryout. I’m going to continue to finish up week 6 and 7 and do some more tryout specific stuff with the remaining time I have.
I would have kept the workouts the same on Monday and Friday, maybe do a couple sprints up to 60m while still keeping the volume at around 300-400m. On Wednesdays I think it wouldn’t have been a bad idea to have done more 300’s and eventually work down to 200’s.

Moved back home yesterday and like always my allergies are starting to irritate me.
Have you seen a doc?
I’ve dealt with the allergy issues my entire life. All the doctors do is give me samples of zyrtec, benadryl, allegra, or whatever is out there. So not really any help from them. When I move back to school, everything clears up within a day or two usually.
I remember you saying you’ve dealt with similar issues, anything work for you?
The shit that I have is really bad but it goes away 1-2 days once I return home. Mainly my eyes goes to shit, my allgergist performed a skin/blood test 2 weeks ago and prescribed some eye drops (patanol).
I’ll have to see if I can do something about mine. I usually get congested or sneezy. I also get tired from not doing anything usually.
