    No problem man! Good luck with your season! The thing to remember is you don't grow in the gym or on the field. You grow on your recovery days. That also means getting adequate sleep too.

    Hm, that's an interesting technique. I've been messing around with deads for a while because that lift is my biggest nemesis. Maybe I might want to dink around with pull speeds.

    Yeah it used to be my best lift, but then rugby injuries have piled up and i'm way down from where I used to be. Hoping to get it back up soon.

    Yeah, it was an easy rugby day, though we're due to have a blizzard this weekend so there most likely won't be practice then.

    The big squat set was fine until i hit 15, then i felt it more in my lowerback. Hoping to hit a bigger number this friday, although we've started doing extra conditioning work during the week, and it seems pretty leg heavy. Next session will be thursday, which i hope won't impact friday's leg day.

    1/19/16
    1:00pm workout
    Low Box Squat
    45lb x 5
    135lb x 5
    165lb x 5
    205lb x 5
    245lb x 5
    280lb x 3
    350lb x 1 + 350lb x 3 + 315lb x 4
    The first hiccup with the 350lb x 1 is that i didn't have collars and the plates slide over too much, so I racked it, looked around for collars, couldn't find any, so just went more carefully.

    Step ups
    30lb x 3 x 8

    Kettlebell Swings
    80lb x 3 x 15

    8:00pm conditioning session
    One of the players has his own personal training business and studio, so he has started running S&C sessions tuedays and thursday 8-10pm, first 10 to sign up get in.
    Warmup:
    10 burpess
    30 jumping jacks
    10 burpess
    Tabata Squats with resting in squatting positions
    5 minutes

    Workout:
    There were 6 stations with two people working out at each, spending 4 minutes at each with 1 minute rest in between.

    Station 1
    135lb Bench press till failure, then switch with partners, 4 minutes straight.

    Station 2
    1 person on the concept 2 rower, 1 person hitting the heavy bag. Switch positions after 2 minutes.

    Station 3
    Sandbag cleans
    1 person does a clean with the sandbag, then the other person does one. Back and forth for 4 minutes.

    Station 4
    Passing medicine ball situps. 4 minutes.

    Station 5
    100lb thursters
    1 person does a set of 10, then passes it to the other person. Bar never touches the ground between sets. 4 minutes

    Station 6
    45lb KB Swings to overhead
    1 person does a set of 15, then passes it to the other person. KB never touches the ground between sets. 4 minutes.

    Rest
    Then we ended with everyone doing planks. First person to go down had to do 12 burpess, then so on down to 1. I went out having to do 8 burpees. We all went over a minute, i think i went out closer to 2.

    Whole thing was about an hour. Heart rate was up very high the whole time. Looking forward to another session.

    Solid squat numbers, by the way dude. Looks like even though you didn't hit the double, you supersetted with some solid follow-up weight. Good chit. Sometimes it's better not to risk the grind by lowering the weight but keeping the intensity up with a super set.

    Also, 81 pushups in 4 minutes is solid. How many breaks did you take?

    Left side is tight. I've been doing the 90 90 stretch and it's been helping alleviate it.

    and also working on stretching in general. it feels wonky now though but loosens up. i've also been trying to stretch more at my desk and not sitting as much, which i think effects it.

    thanks! im happy as long as i can hit above 315, but i'm a far cry from my 405 single last summer.

    for the pushups i took a lot of breaks, but that was intentional. first time i tried this, when i hit 68, i busted out 40 on my first set, and petered out. this one i stopped after first set of 20, then broke it up to a few sets of 10 with 20 seconds rest, then down to 5, etc. want to give it a try every week to get it to 100, but we're doing a lot of pushups in my rugby conditioning workout as well.

    ^I know those feels.

    Messed up my right knee recently, and now I'm kind of teetering around recovery weight. Whenever I look back to my strongest points, it's kind of saddening.

    But we just gotta' get past it




    As for the push ups, as long as it was a workout, it was a workout. You know what I mean? That many pushups in 4 minutes is sure to burn the chest!

    haha yeah i need to be more disciplined and not push it. at the end of the day as long as i can move around the pitch and keep playing rugby, i'm good. don't need to hurt myself massaging my ego.

    yeah my chest feels pretty burned after that haha. i think it's the plyo pushups that really tires it out before hand, because on a normal day i can pump them out. my normal break down is 40, 20, 20, 15 with like a minute rest between.

    Workout:
    Box Jumps
    36" x 3 x 2
    40" x 5 x 2

    Sumo Speed Deads
    275lb x 5 x 2
    Tried sumos. Haven't tried them out in years. I like them, but I feel like I can't ever go heavy. It felt slower than normal this way, but I felt like i worked more muscles this way.

    Squat
    225lb x 17
    so 1 more than last week, 2 more than the first attempt. Also played around with my squat form a little bit. for the longest time i've been trying to sit straight down, and do a more olympic style squat, but sitting back felt really good today.

    Kettlebell Swing
    80lb x 8
    1 handed 80lb x 2 x 8
    80lb x 10

    ran out of time to do the farmers walks. will try to hit them this weekend.

    Yeah I think I just tend to get in the habit of trying something i think is better than sticking with things that work. why i would start squatting in a different way than what helped me hit 405 is just dumb haha. but you're right,when hit 225 for17 i was focusing on pushing my hips back more and it didn't aggravate my lower back.

    Last week was deload week, so I mainly did mobility work, bodyweight stuff, and bodyweight stuff with bands added.

    2/8/16
    Workout:
    According to Defranco, your first workout after a deload tends to suck, so he recommends this "neural primer" workout when you come back, just to get your body ready.

    Superset, 6 rounds
    1A Medicine Ball slam 8lbs x 3
    1B Plyo Pushups X 4
    1C 32" Box Jumps x 5

    Superset
    2A Band Pullaparts 3 x 20
    2B Core training 3 x 20 (alternated planks, bird dogs, McGil crunches)

    Ended up Hip mobility and shoulder mobility drills.

    technically yes, but you're supposed to do it the day before your testing, so it's supposed to "prime" you for the testing day. not sure if there's any science behind it.

    2/9/16
    Workout:
    Did a thorough warmup of my chest before benching. A lot of SMR on my chest, and pre-hab movements. Took about 15 minutes.

    Bench
    45lb x 20
    115lb x 6
    135lb x 4
    175lb x 2
    195lb x 2
    225lb x 1
    240lb x 1
    250lb x 1
    265lb x 1
    280lb x fail
    I think I psyched myself out. I got it up off my chest, about halfway up, and then just racked it.
    225lb x 6 > 195lb x 4 > 185lb x 4 > 155lb x 5 > 135lb x 4
    Meh, think I could have hit more considering how easy 225lb went up. I stopped at 6 only because i started losing speed, but i think i could have hit 1 more with good form.

    Have rugby conditioning tonight so stopped here. Hopefully squat testing goes better on friday. Got another free conditioning session from a local gym for wednesday as well so saving squat testing for friday.
