the bottom link is an example of applying this principle to a program. im doing it now for bench. im also trying to apply it to front squats (ive been doing 5x3 anyway just need to tweak the %'s) but it obviously asked for a BP and CGBP number so not sure if ill squat twice a week or 3 times a fortnight, use one leg day to do RDL + accessories (bulgarian SS, single leg hypers, etc) and one day to do front squat plus accessories.
im not sure how you would balance out 3 sessions of front squat and stay within the guidelines prilepin set out. you might find yourself doing 4x4@76% mondays, 5x5@65% wednesday, 5x3@80-89% on friday.
Id also swap back hypers to single leg hyperextension. to get more bang for your buck superset 10-15 standing glute kickbacks (with your hand on your ass ideally) with x amount of single leg hypers. i say x because you want good quality reps, whether its 5 or 10 reps.
Plus youll get some solid work with hamstrings in a lengthened position, which like the articles say is the real way to create hamstring flexibility.
Im doing all the same **** as you hence the link dumps, etc. lettuce know if you find any good ones yourself or make any discoveries.
I'm going to do a tire workout tomorrow, I figure my thumb should inhibit flipping them as I don't have to wrap my hands around anything.
I'm not quite sure what Prilepins is trying to achieve, from what I read it's not really telling you how much to progress each week, besides Starr's 5x5 still uses 3rep, 5 rep and 8rep which should be enough differentiation. I'll give the single leg extensions and kickbacks a go though, really try and get the flexibility going.
I think if you're in off season you should at least try to do front or back squats twice weekly. I'll let you know if I find anything man but I don't tend to look too hard lol, those links you shared for hip mobility were really great though.
Out of curiosity, are you an ausbrah? And do you play american football?
I don't know what's going on at the moment but my energy levels are low, I have to force myself to eat and nothing feels like its being digested properly. I am also feeling really short of temper..like I'm going to snap at any moment and start laying into a door or do some stupid **** like that.
I can't flip tires with this cast on, my right wrist feels too flimsy and isn't pulling nearly as much weight as my left.
can you prop the tire up and do more of a shoulder/side lift/push. maybe alternate between left and right shoulders? just a thought.
with prilepins chart its about progressing/training without inducing fatigue. i figure this could help you when you squat 3 times a week + running and everything else involving your legs bearing weight/working. Apparently it is very well proven to cause progress, its a way of training smarter rather than harder. You may not be aware of what intensity youre working at and as an athlete youre probably inclined to beat your body up more often than beneficial. if you have no problem with progress now though i wouldnt worry about it. youre aware of it now anyway.
The way you progress is based on your max now. use that to figure out %'s, stick to the guidelines and then reassess your max in 6 weeks.
That being said this is for strength gains primarily when a football player needs to gain size too. I have experience in college football and can say we only applied low reps to explosive movements like cleans, high pulls, any olympic progressions. Bench, squat, rows, pullups, etc. were mainly 10x10, 5x12, 4x6-8 with many forced reps and little rest <90secs. Is that ideal though? idk. when its that or 1000 yards of updowns at 5am you just do it.
If you broke a training year down into winter, spring, summer, fall imo it'd look like this: winter is for body composition, agility, strength -- spring is for skill and size -- summer is for conditioning, size, strength -- fall is in-season, weight maintenance/size, not much focus on conditioning or strength, skill
when will scott donald get me out of the red?

I'll have another read of Prilepins. I'm going to be training pretty much the same way year round, except for in season. Although when my hand is better I'll have my mate throwing to me while I run routes so, I want to be fast enough to play both sides of the ball at club level.
BTW those one leg hypers were great, and so were the kickbacks, will be incorporating from now on. Also bought a foam roller, so I did some foam rolling and then the hip flexibility complex off the T-Nation site article you linked.
6/2/13 Wednesday
Woke up and felt really de-motivated, had breakfast..went back to sleep and I must've hit a sleep cycle perfectly coz I woke up 1.5 hours later and felt re-invigorated.

then I drove to the gym
5 mins on the bike
5 mins foam rolling (bought one today)
Hip mobility workout
Front Squats;
8x20
5x40
5x60
5x80
5x90
5x95
(95 will be my 5RM weight for doing Starr's 5x5 progression)
Bulgarian Split Squats (each leg) (SICKENING)
8x20kg each hand
8x20
8x5
3x8 One-legged Hypers
2x10 Glute-ham kickbacks

There's two brits that have logs too, JamieQB and TheRealNumber2
Sweet I'll check their logs out aswell. I might make my own but I wouldn't be great at constantly updating it as the only computer I have access to is my work one
when doing your jumps... make sure they are all quality form wise rather then forcing height...

do the kickbacks unweighted BEFORE you do the single leg hypers. the kickbacks are for glute activation which youll want before you do the harder lift. isolation and integration.
Had pretty bad leg DOMS from the 5RM and split squats but gonna have to get used to that with my new routine (starting monday next week).
Went to a local lookout which has much broader stairs than the other place and a great view, its a really beautiful day today too as you'll see in the vid.
Workout consisted of;
5-6 Stair sprints (Basically up to the top as fast as I can then jog down and rest for 1-2 mins).
4x40yd Beach sprints
2xPro agilities (Was heaps crappy in the sand, can't dig in at all, you go to turn and leave craters in the beach)
Heres a video of me doing a beach sprint for approx. 40yds. I think I'm looking faster than I was 10 weeks ago (last time I was filmed, on grass doing a 40). Let us know what you think, I didn't do a proper starting stance because I didn't want sand in my cast.
I'm still looking really bulky too (especially when I'm walking back after the sprint), I kinda wish it was mine turn for aesthetics, as in I wish I looked more like a safety or linebacker than a ****ing D-tackle lol.
My body quite likes keto in terms of losing fat but my workouts turn to **** and I'm not sure it would be the best idea to do keto when I cant even try and maintain my upper body gains due to my thumb.
Not sure why my girlfriend kept filming once I was finished lol.
P.S Mire on the view in the background, not a hard life.

Well I figure that I won't be able to lift heavy rows, cleans or bench press for another 6-8 weeks so I'm front squatting 3 times a week following the progression in Bill Starr's program (basically 2.5% onto your 5RM each week). Also doing plyos and lots of sprints, hopefully shed a lot of time off my current speed tests and impress at the Australian Outback testing in April.
solid stuff... i ran today and struggled in the cold by myself - really wish i had your weather!!!
what is the walking backwards thing for???

No you don't man, its bloody 35C+ this whole week, you just feel disgusting 24/7...and I'm a student so I cant afford to have aircon going in my car which makes driving horrid.
Hahaha I don't actually know what benefit it will give me, just saw it in a youtube video so thought I'd give it a crack.
i had ice cream, last night - hagan daz - dulche de crem... you don't get it in oz but its by far the best packet ice cream!!!
