Forum: Sports Training Journals

Hey guys, I've recently finished my exams and am having a bit of a break from my typical game of basketball 5 days a week. I started the program a while back but recently took 2 weeks off as I went on holiday. I was quite worried that I would have lost some of my progress but in actual fact the...

I am 26 years old and I haven't got much experience with Gridiron (American football).I've started lifting in the year 2002 or 2003, during my growing ages and at that time I was in India, so I did not know how to lift properly or haven't got a proper coach to teach me.8 years went by and haven't...

I've been using DeFranco's WS4SB III program for the past two months, and have kept a log in the "Workout Journal" section. Rather than simply move it into the "Sports Journal" section, I thought it'd be advantageous if I started a completely new log. I?m a freshman college soccer player at a...

Football has always been one of my biggest passions. I started lifting weights for it my eighth grade year (2012-2013), and started logging around the end of the year as way to keep track of my progress. However, I ended up bulging a disc in my back which stemmed from deadlifting with a...

I am currently looking for a new grappling glove. I currently use 14oz Winning gloves, but I just don't really feel comfortable. I'm really looking for a very slim glove that is still very comfortable especially for my hands which are medium size, I sort of have long fingers. I have heard Zepol...

Offseason started this week and decided hell I might as well start a log. **Of course this will all be the weight lifting portion rather than the running part** So in the past I've always followed the weight lifting program that the coaches intall to the program. Which has, in the past, been...

5/28 Squat 145x5, 145x5, 145x5 OP 60x5, 60x3, 60x3 BB Row 75x5, 75x7, 75x5 BB row form was awkward, need to flare chest/ tighten back more. Squat felt like 1000 pounds, will decrease weight. OP :/

Not sure how many people will actually be interested in this, but I'm making this log to keep myself honest and accountable. I played Football before, but quit before I really ever got my feet wet. Although I loved the game, and still do, I didn't have the motivation to push myself each and...

Well the weather sucks here so I had to resort to indoor training today. My walk around weight is 195 pounds. The running for me is fun but exhausting and I love it. So today I did four sets of back squats at 185 x 10 reps. Then jumped on the treadmill and did a 6:30 mile. I took a four minute rest...
