Tue: Love how the squats sessions are going, feel like I am getting stronger without beating up my legs etc. Overall good session, I am keeping the ext tempo on the easy side until I hit spp.
Wed: Another good session the CSW is improving each week, even on the indoor track.
Thur: Usually by Thursday I don’t feel like training but things has changed, I felt good on the track and weight room. The incline session felt much better then the bench press on Tuesday.
Fri: First set of sled pulls felt awesome the second set I got lazy with my focus and tech. Once again love the way the squats are treating me!!
Sat: Some light stiffness in my hamstrings from the Rdl’s but nothing major. Overall I feel good about my progress but must continue to make strides with my general fitness. Will try and get some 3pt starts on film this upcoming Monday, I will be approaching the final week of Max strength 1 - follow by a 1 week unload.

Overall very good session, the F-E-F felt weird because I was completing the 40m zone so fast then had to shift gears and go fast again probably would have felt easier if I had 30m zones.
Below you can see the video, it’s not the best it was at end of a tough session and second three point session…

Had to spilt the sessions today because the indoor track was closed. Overall the sessions went well considering the temp was 38degrees for the sled pulls. My lower back was very tight so I took it easy on the rdl.

We decreased the rest, kept the effort the same and the runs were slightly faster so I guess that’s a good sign.
We had to make some changes to the SPP workouts since I am having some serious lower back tightness. The plan was to do power snatches and power cleans but we have decided to drop the snatches and go with hang cleans and power cleans. I debated about doing some single leg work in spp but decided to stick with squats twice per week since the rev lunges caused some major quad problems this past spring.
BTW, I so hate Tue/Thur warmup all those damn lunges etc…
No. Put a cone at 30m accelerate to 30m and maintain whatever you got. This is slightly different from typical intensive tempo because we are taking a lot more rest and the quality is higher.
Also my training mate is progressing very well, he came in at 40sec on the 300 and has gained 11lbs. We will try and put on another 10lbs before the season starts. This is how his plan is looking:
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.
