Since Everyone Else Has One

First team meeting of the year, woohoooo
We actually start practice tomorrow, first meet dec 10

Cant actually make the first practice because I have class during it, but we are suppose to be sent the training schedule for the week today or tomorrow so i’ll see what kinda stuff they follow.

just wondering: why do you always do sprints after lifting or plyos? shouldnt it be the other way around?

Omyss,

Yea, it probably should be, for me its a matter of preference and time restraints, during the summer I can only lift at certain times, on the other hand I can run whenever, during the season I try to flip flop it.

Friday Week Watever, Changing it to do Week of Season as I started actual College Practice

Friday Week 1

3:30PM Track

Long Long Long Warm Up, not going to write it all down but there are 28 parts to our warmup, including 3x50m buildup at the end of it.

5x100m Hills w/walk back rest

5:00PM Weightroom

Testing

Squat - 265x3 to parallel
Bench - 225x9

Notes - the warmup absolutely killed me, I used to a very light warmup, I was cramping by the end of warmup.

Also the testing was done as soon as practice was over, my legs felt like jello and I could barely walk let alone squat. O well such is life. Definately going to need to get used to the extended warmup.

Wednesday Week 2

The end is near.

10am Track Workout

Rediculously long and fast tempo’d warm up with no break at all between reps

Followed by 2x2x300 at 60%/48sec
Does this make sense? I am a 55 runner who runs about 52 in the 400, which wud make 60% of my 300 around 1 minutes. Someone would have to run 28.8 in the 300 to run 48sec 300 as 60%. On top of it the rest was 2m/4m. Which is absolutely rediculous, I ran the first one in 48, and by the last one I was at 59. What is the workout going to do for a 55m runner anyhow?

Weightroom 11am

Then came weights

Jump Squats 4x10 45lb,45lb,75lb,65lb

Bench 3x10 155,190,175
Paired w/SLDL 3x10 135,135,135

Military Press Dumbell - 25, 35, 35
Paired w/Some weird Glute Exercise which I cramped on and cudnt finish

Band Flies - 3x10
Paired w/Squat Hold which I couldnt do cuz I was cramped.

Notes - I dont understand any of this, they said it is for hypertrophy, and most of the work is shoulders and chest. BTW the numbers are what they made me use not what I thought I could use. Very very frustrated.

Thursday Week 2

Today was another long warmup then some random hurdle drills. Next week I’ll be able to give you guys a better understanding of the workout because we are suppose to be getting emails of the workouts starting then, right now its just too many things to remember so, check back next week for better details of whats going on.

re max strength work platue.
you dont need to be chasing pb’s all the time. if you have leveled off in strenght gains for a bit, and feel you are strong enough for a while, just do maintance level work. ie, if your best eg. for bench is 120kg for 3reps. then for a while, stay on 100kg and 5reps for say 3sets? its not hurting too much and taking cns energy away, yet its still heavy. then later, in a few months or whenever, get back into heavy loads and watch your numbers climb.

Thanx for the advice bold, but we just started practice for the season and we’re doing hypertrophy right now so I gotta do the team stuff.

FIRST MEET DEC 2 @ CORNELL

Can’t u get them to bump your weights up? Doing stuff at 60% might be good for a weight room newbie but would they let you bump it up say 10%? Especially important once your work capacity increases so you aren’t tired for your lifts.

They said during the workout I could move the weights up a little if I want, but I will go with what they got for now, never did anything like this as u know so I’ll go with the flow for now.

I’m beat when I get in the weight room anyhow so the differences would be marginal at this point. The workouts r more of a pace yourself so your not dead at the end of the week for me rather than actually accomplishing anything.

Notes - everything went good, asked to get my vert tested since the top vert at the school all time is 36.5. Only got my reach measured, since not testing for vert til December, however my reach was measured at 84 inches, 7ft, which is a joke since I am 5’9", they use relaxed shoulders and both feet flat on the ground, so my vert should be anywhere between 36-42 inches depending on how I feel that day, I hate shyt measures, relaxed arms and feet planted on the ground does not give an accurate measure of vertical jump.

I could stand on my toes and reach with my shoulders strained and get a vertical of like 6 inches and not get off the ground what kinda sense does that make?

wish i could do my tempos that fast -lol. r those 100m or 100yds

100 meters, trust me its not my choice, if it were up to me there would be no such thing as tempo.
