Ok fellas I have been training hard since mid August 2007 for a total of 19 weeks following CF system. This is my first week of inseason training, hopefully I will get a chance to have my season opener next weekend Jan 12, 2008!!

“Others can stop you temporarily you are the only one who can do it permanently”!

How tall are you?

3.20m standing long jump is pretty good.

5’10-5’11, my weight can be anywhere from 190-210 depending on where we are in the year.

D, when is your first meet?

Also, how did those REA split squats work out for you? Did you like them?

this was the last week of rea spilt squats, the second workout of the week i went 2x3.

depth jump 5x4
jump squats 4x8x20x105
rea ss 6x3x125
sdl 2x2x85x430

overall the rea ss went really well i could have gone heavier but decided to keep them on the lighter side.

my first meet went ok, ran 6.9’s in prelims and 6.8 in finals, after the prelims race my lower back was killing me. monday i went to get a lame ass massage that helped a lil and yesterday i went to the chiro to get a adjustment (pelvic was tilted which made one leg shorter then the other etc). after the adjustment everything felt great and looking to post some fast times tomm. today is a rest day with recovery ems.

Good luck with tomorrow’s races. Similarly, good job on the 6.8.

Do you think you can hit 6.7X tomorrow?

with the adjustments the chiro made yesterday i have no doubt i will run faster this weekend, even the chiro think i will run much faster this weekend he was surprise i was able to run as fast as i did with the problems i had going on. lil off topic, thursday leg workout is soo hard but my legs feel so good the next day - its kinda like a flush out day.

What is the “squat complex”? It doesn’t sound fun at all, especially not for 18 reps.

week 1 and 2:
lateral stepups
lunges
squats
