Richo's Training Journal.... Not Stopping Anymore

Why no running? That should be a constant just cut the volume and intensity.

You really need to buy CFTS.

yeah i kind of mucked up then. so next deload i know what to do.

yeah i am seriously going to think hard about it. i just gotta figure out how i am going to pay for it.

EZ-Curl - 30x6 . 30x6

that makes one of us :stuck_out_tongue:

lol ok, ill try explaining, it probably isnt hard.

i ran 10m, turned back and ran 10m
then turned back and ran 30m
then turned back and ran 20m
then turned back and ran 20m
then turned back and ran 30m

this training now thinking isnt helpful for sprinters as it is probably good for agility. just for the record, i was going 100% as it was recovery day, so i just went 75-85%

Saturday
Week in Review

Can’t be bothering writing one. this will be explained next post

Sunday
Injury Sustained

Today i was with my brothers lifting a trailer up onto the towbar of my ute. and it was resting up, but wasnt attached. then the end came off and fell across my right foot.

so straight away i applied rice, then went to hospital.

good news, no broken bones or fractures, just heavy bruising to the bone i think.

bad news, off my feet for at least 48hrs, i might make it a little more so im fully recovered.

this could of been worse, and it would of sucked if my foot did break, considering how close i am to coaching.

anyway, thats why i cant be bothering writing a week in review, even though i normally do them on saturday

:eek: you were pretty lucky by the sound of it

yeah i was, but first thing that went through my mind was my sprinting…

well its friday, and since the accident, i havent sprinted, which is crap. i havent even lifted. last night (Thursday) i did some skipping, speedball and heavy bag workout for 20mins.

my foot is still too sore to run on, and the doctor said 48hrs. 48hrs my butt.

anyway, thought i would update, as i havent posted for a while

Strength Training Experiment

I have decided to experiment with some new different methods to increase my strength for sprinting, while not neglecting sprint training neither.

from now on, this journal will be logging my workouts, thoughts, new research, ideas etc etc.

hope you enjoy, hopefully good things to come here

Monday
Assessment

1RM Benchpress - 45kg
1RM Squat - 85kg
1RM Barbell Row - 60kg
Pull-up Repetition Max - 10 reps

Weight - 50kg


Thoughts

I have alot of strength just waiting to be gained. considering i can not bench over my bodyweight, nor squat double my bodyweight, i need some work. of course, this experiment will lift these numbers right up.

Why do you train? :confused:

Im sorry what do you mean by this?

What is the reason you are training? What is your goal?

I am training for several reasons…

1/ Because i love the feeling of hoisting iron around, and sprinting down the ground, with the wind through my hair.

2/ I enjoy challenges and sprinting and lifting creates that.

3/ Pushing myself when i feel i cant. no feeling is better than getting past a barrier.

4/ Just for the sheer joy, fun and love of our sport. even though i am a beginner, i am looking forward to staying in this sport for years to come.

there is a couple reasons.

Goals…

1/ Start sprinting compeititively (sp)

2/ Increase my Squat lift

3/ Drop my 100m time down to early 12s, late 11s

None of ur goals are mesurable
