With my right leg - YES… My left leg has been giving me issues since Jan 1, 2010 and need to rest for 4 weeks, I understand I won’t be at my best this year because of the injury but the goal is to try and manage it with proper training and treatment. To answer you question - yes the ART has helped.
So do you mean you’re going to take off 4 weeks from meets?
No! I’m going to be smart with my training and cont with my treatments and after the season rest for 4 weeks.

Trash weather today, 60’s and a 15-19mph headwind. I think the headwind was a blessing because it kept the speed down which isn’t a bad thing this week. Overall the times were very similar to the workout 2 weeks ago. With the weather conditions and no SE work for about two weeks it wasn’t a bad workout.

I took it very easy on the 150’s esp on the first 50. Bicep femoris is so damn tight, I feel it’s gonna rip at anytime.

Hey nice Journal…?
Was you being serious about taking 10 fish oil caps at day…?
yessss…
I will take two, 4 times a day.
Thanks…
I thought too much, could thin your blood or something.
CP mega amounts (30-50) maybe.

Hamstring felt like shit. The meet got moved to Tue instead of Thur.
Tue:
100: 10.95 (-0.5) Rest 20mins
200: 22.80
The plan was to have a nice hour long warmup but that didn’t happen, traffic was crazy and I ended getting lost. I arrived at the track 20mins before the race and beg the meet directors to give me additional 10mins so I had 30mins to warmup.
Stride 3x100’s
Couple dym stretches
Couple sprint drills
2x100’s buildups
Throws x2
Stadium pogo 2x10
Overspeed starts 3x10
Several sprints over 30-60m
I was moving non stop and it also helped that I had 4 layers on my lower body. Traveling to Houston Tuesday and will race Thursday nite in H-Town. Second fastest time of the season, let’s see what I can put together over the next couple weeks.
Looks like you got your speed back, do you think so?
Slowly… My hamstring is really causing me problems late in races and causing my tech to break down. In the 200 towards the end I had to give up because my hamstring started to hurt. I have 4-5 meets reminding so let’s see what I can do, my friend told me I had 10.7 in me today.
Schedule leading up to TX:
Thur: SE+weights
Fri: Tempo
Sun: Speed+weights
Mon: Tempo
Tue: Travel
Wed: Premeet
Thur: Race
Fri-Sat: Rest
Sun: Speed+weights
Mon: Tempo
Wed: SE (Stim meet)
Thur: Travel
So your first meet will be next weekend
Im curious, by “weights” are you doing heavy squats? My times would be brutal with weights that close to competition.
How do you feel about eliminating weights 2-4 weeks prior to peek competition? Have you ever experimented with that or do you have a theory as to why you are maintaining the lower body weightlifting.
The squats are not super heavy. I would never take weights away but I will drop squats 10-14 days out. My inseason weights a couple years ago was 3x2x405.
