saturday

warm up: 10x30m (50-75%)
speed: 3 pt starts 3x20m 95%+
it’s been raining and storming like crazy this month. the wettest summer I can remember.
tried something different yesterday. I did some hamstring exercises a few hours before I went to the track to see if activating the muscles prior to sprinting would help me (some ideas I got reading pavel’s training in this thread http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?21437-Good-article-on-speed-amp-age/page3&highlight=masters , as well as watching charlie’s video where he talks about the ripple effect of muscle stimulation). I wasn’t timing myself on these runs, but the first two especially felt really good. I think I’ll try this method again next week…

found a heavy keyboard at work that we don’t need, so I’m going to use that to do a bit of lifting before I go home, every now and then… 
You must live near me?! Re- rain
Nah, western Sydney. The number of drizzley days and thunder storms has been ridiculous.
Only a little bit of rain today, though. Might head off to the track for a bit once I’ve finished in the garden…

friday

step up’s, 2:10 (each leg), 20kg
snatch, 2:10, 20kg
sunday
db snatch, 1:10, 15kg DB
straight leg dlift, 3:3, 30kg
squat, 1:10, 30kg; 1:6, 50kg; 1:3, 70kg; 1:10 50kg
more rain over the weekend (for example - http://www.margaretrivermail.com.au/news/national/national/general/warragamba-dam-on-verge-of-spilling/2475077.aspx?storypage=1 ), so no sprinting. probably a good idea anyway, as my calf cramp left me limping for a day or so.
lifted 70kg today and it felt as light as 30kg did when I first started training several weeks ago, so I’ve got to be doing sometihng right!
I had my training partner video one of my 30’s on sunday, but for some reason I can’t seem to load it on to youtube. it’s probably for the best, though. I looked like I was running on the spot…

1:10 two legs, 15kg DB

tuesday
1:10 DB SL DL, 30kg (2x15kg)
1:10 50kg squat
2:3 70kg squat
1:10 50kg squat (fast)
today when I did my squats I tried leaning forward a touch more than I usually do. I found that the stress transferred nicely from my knees to my hamstrings. right where I want it! hams and glutes felt nicely activated afterwards. the deadliftes help with that, too. they are not completely straight leg DL’s - more of a 35o angle. just enough to feel it more in my hamstrings and not too much in the lower back.
ok, now I feel like I am gathering some momentum.
Hi there,
I have a student who assurres me that Darren Lockyer has never done any weights and strength training, and that he succeeds only due to a mental will to win and no actual preparation. He is using this belief as an excuse for not doing adequate work in the classroom, so I would love to receive a quick reply from you to confirm that you have, in your role as strength and conditioning coach at the Broncos, observed Darren lifting weights and working to improve his strength.
thank you,
Greg…

Darren Lockyer is one of the hardest, if not the hardest trainer in strength work or in any training (fitness, skills etc) ever. He was in the top 3 strength (pound for pound) every year at the Broncos. He would win the fitness running tests or be top 3 in these every year as well.
Darren would often sneak in to do extra training, not less.
Tell your student he is dreaming. No coach wants lazy players, nor do they want players who don’t study or read or write, because every week they have to study the opposition to find their weaknesses and strengths and study is a skill.
Dan
heh heh, that should do the trick…

Hmm, that was tougher than I thought it would be. Certainly did the job, though. I have identified great tightness in my lats. Also, my right adductor seemed comparatively weak…

Had a scare with some knee soreness and swelling on Saturday. It was a bit of a mystery because I felt fine when I went to bed, even when I got up in the middle of the night, but in the morning I could hardly walk. Went away after some nurofen, but it returned briefly this afternoon. I just hope this doesn’t keep coming back on me…
monday
pilates class - 1 hour
thursday
tempo
4x150m - 30s, 29s, 28s, 25s

hamstring/glute/ab strength exercises
arm speed drills

I’ve been getting some soreness around the kneecap area. No idea what’s causing it.
On the bright side, I felt a lot smoother on the track today…
