It’s funny to check your journal and see how similar our workouts have been lately. I’m finishing an unload week as well and today I did 5x200, 2x3 incline, and a 3 dip/pullup supersets.
That said, keep it up man… Do you usually workout in the morning? How has your energy been treating you during workouts?
Sorry forgot to answer your question, I normally train at 9am which is a upgrade from last year. I usually have a scoop of protein and about 200mg of caffeine pre workout.

Overall great session considering I had a really bad cold and had to reduce some of the speed work because of low energy levels from the cold etc. The plan was to do 5 starts and 4 60’s, but after my workout mate told me the runs looked really fast I decided to reduce the volume and save it for spp. Felt like shit all weekend but otherwise I’m happy because I won both of my FFB games!! That’s all she wrote for GPP!!

My strength training in SPP will be 3 weeks of max strength (3-5 reps), 4 weeks maintenance, 3 weeks max strength (3reps) follow by 1 week unload before heading into comp season. First meet in 7 weeks!!
Damn I felt great today my legs felt springy and fast overall. Couldn’t ask for anything more then to open SPP with a bang. The weights were easy and nothing more then a intro week back into max strength work.

Very good workout, my workout mate said that all 16 sprints looked exactly the same (speed wise); that’s what I felt when performing them. The long ext tempo and CSW did a great job in preparing me for these types of workouts. Overall great session!!!
Quick update: My body feels great right now and I’m ready to explode. On a sad note my season may be over before it even get started, I may be taking a great job offer in North Carolina and I’m not sure how much time I will have to train.
