Hi, I'm new to this, but I wanted to post what I have been doing starting with the summer. This past season was a rough one for me. I have been through a meniscal tear (L) knee and now tendonitis is my right achillies. I have played around with the thought of an injection, but I don't want to take the chances of blowing it up. So here is my journal. I have done some lifting in the recent weeks, but I won't post it because it was general lifting just to build some base from not being able to lift much after the op. I just started squats/variations as well as olympic lifts. I hope you'll enjoy as I get back on the road to find out what's in my basement.

55m/60m, 100m and 200m
I won't begin my track workouts until early November. I think resting my body will benefit me the most right. Strength gains are a must for me to get back to where I know I should be. My lifting max's aren't what they normally are because of the time I had to take off from doing the lifts above. You'll have to bear in mind that I am working back to my best.

what are you trying to achieve with this program
-
Just strength and explosiveness. I missed so much after my injuries. This program is based on explosive and power athletes. It's just a summer program to put the foundation down for the upcoming season. The program was written for me by a friend who is a CSCS with the USOC and does his work at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, NY. I like the program because of the posterior chain work that I am getting from it, which is much more than I had been getting or doing in the past. I have core exercises that I do 3x per week along with abdominal work. I also have med ball throws that I do 2x per week. Which ranges from 65 to 80 throws per session.

Yes, the lifting will change once in the upcoming weeks. I'm currently in week 7 right now. I will have an unloading week next week. There are 12 weeks in the this program. After this I will move onto whatever my coach will have written for me.

how much u weigh? overall ur numbers look good, the clean should be lil higher.
-
I told you why the clean isn't that high. It's not that I can't do it, it's the way my body is wound. I weight 160 lbs
-

doesnt matter, at ur bw the numbers are still good.
-
I hope the numbers I put up will lead to a monster season that I hope to have and get back on track to where I was in the past.
-
when are you gonna start running? and what does ur gpp look like? how will ur lifting change once running is in place?
-
Beginning of November is when I'll start. I'm doing a few things now, strides, etc. Nothing serious just to keep active. My coach that worked with me when I ran my best is writing my workouts again. So, I honestly don't know what he has planned for me. I just know what he does with me has worked better than anything else. I tried doing workouts that were based on speed, etc. They didn't work for me. Lead to injuries, overtrained, and embarrassment.

so this coach is more tempo based? damn u have another month to keep working on strength, wish i didnt have to run as much so i could do the same.
-
I wish I could be running now. He's letting me do some work, but nothing like regular track workouts. Just something to keep me fresh. They are more strength based I would say. Well, based on what I have done for him in the past. Quick workouts with little rest.
Ex of a Monday workout after GPP 1×300 @ 40 – 7 min rest, 2×200 @ 25 – 5 min rest
I could type em' all about, but it would take a while. Bascially, ex. tempo, int. tempo with blocks, overspeed, etc included as it goes.
-
sounds similar to lacrosse
-
Is that good?

Is that good?
depends who u ask
-
Tell me what everyone says? Good and bad.

lol. Good Marcus Walgrave 10.43w tie national champ last year 100m.
Tutskey 10.31? few years ago
Rock world silver medalist 400m
Nate Olson 20.99
…<br /everyone:
https://www.uwlax.edu/athletics/mtrack/results/
i see 2-3 fast 55m times.
-
Not many schools have that many fast guys that are strictly 1/2 guys, right? So, I wouldn't consider it that bad. It looks as though, the sprint crew has gotten deeper since 2002 or am I wrong?
-
i understand they are div 3 but i would like to see a program have more then just 1 or 2 fast guys in the short sprints. lacrosse has 2-3 guys that run good times in the 55-200.

heres this week strength work:

db pullovers 4×7

body curls 4×6fri:
same as tue -
But they have 3:10 4×4's, 40. 4×1's, and 125 4×1's… So they have to a little depth
-
Well, they must be doing something right to have as many national titles over the past two decades. I dont' think it's just luck, the coaches there have to be on to something right. It may not be the way of CF, etc but they have had great athletes through times. Pretty much the most decorated program in the entire country only behind Arkansas
-
yes u have to have some speed to have good relays but more team chemistry etc.
-
do u run for lacrosse. lol
-
No, I don't. I was just defending my workouts if they are like theirs haha

What do you mean? What kinds of things are done that make you question it?

-
Where are you guys all from taht you know all this about that program?

Well their lifting is top notch for one and they have a lot of people who work hard (lots of people pushing each other). You can ask ut about one of their 55m guys who made some big improvements.. I forget the details but I think he still remembers
u think the lifting is top notch

Well I am going based off what drivephase (dan tutskey) has said about the guy running the weight program and what others have said about their program. I can only assume it is top notch… not sure how else they are developing in some aspects without it.
i know this is only one block of training but damn man he could do better then this:

I'm going to start posting my season of lifting each day, I'll try to keep up with as much as I can. I am also doing a few things on the track or the roads so I am somewhat prepared for my gpp. Like, I've said before I am taking baby steps in developing what I once and hopefully the numbers I put up in the weightroom will serve as an indicator that I will get back to where I should be. I'm 27 years old, 5'3, and 160-165 lbs.

Wednesday October 11, 2006
My achillies wasn't too sore today. It was somewhat stiff, but not as bad as I had thought it was going to be. I was debating whether I should just warm up today, do a little bit of easy running or just take the day off and do the workout I have scheduled tomorrow. More than likely I will end up running, I would like to have an idea of how I'll feel after a week of training.

It should look familiar. I do use their weightlifting. What I need to get posted on here is what I did last year. I'd like to get some opinions from everyone. I've had the greatest success on things that I'm doing now. Tempo lifting is something I started with a friend of mine a few years ago. We have mp3's with cadences downloaded to lift with. It makes for interesting weight workouts. I mainly just used them for early season work.
-
why do u like tempo lifting – just curious?
-
I like the control it gives me in the lift and fatigue sets in quick so you really have to focus on the technique of the lift and controlling the weight. I especially like it with leg work. I hated the hip flexion (it forced me to stabilize on every rep and worked my glutes as well.) I like reading your journal ut. Rather than posting this in your journal. Why the tread runs? Just curious?
-
i found they are easier on my body then doing 2200m of tempo runs. on my tue and thur workouts i will be doing diff things.
-
I hear you on that 2200m of tempo can be hard on your body. Eventhough you set your pace, it still gets tough. It's nice to get off the track every so often for a tempo workout.

-
do u have the bands attached to an object?
-
I can either use a regular low cable or the bands attached to a squat rack. I think the tempos are helping. The weight has felt really light. On Thursday I'm going to look at doing around 315. The tempos suck for the hip flexion. It burns like the dickens.
-
You guys think hip flexor exercises like that are really helpful? Years ago I did a ton of (heavy) hip flexor work but saw no benefit. Some of my guys swear by them though…
i know lacrosse like such things, it may work. i did tempo for some time, they felt hard on the body.

I won't be doing it for much longer. I like to change things up before my body adapts to it.

dont see how you do the hip flexor work with the green bands, i had to use mini bands.
-
I tie one end to the rack and one end around my ankle. I stretch is so theres some tension and then I do the exercise. The band is like the type you'd use for squating. Hope that helps.

my point is the tension of the thick green bands was too much.
-
Not on these bands. They are set up in our weight room to do four way hip mobility on them.

these are bands we have: https://jumpstretch.com/osc/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=31

Haha yea I don't think anyones going to do hip flexor raises with a 2"+ green band wrapped around their ankle. You'd probably pull your knee apart.
i was able to get it up but took tooo much effort and i dont see how u can do tempo with them also.
-
They obviously aren't the same bands. I've worked in sports performance and PT so there are several different kinds of bands. Why raise such a stink about a band.

whats your height and weight?
I'm 5'4", 167 lbs.

no squats
-
No, not that week or this coming. I've been squating for well over 15 weeks straight so variation is key and I love single leg activities
-
No, not that week or this coming. I've been squating for well over 15 weeks straight so variation is key and I love single leg activities
why u like single leg work
-
well, it's simple. when you are running are both feet ever in contact with the ground? Since they aren't you need single leg strength. You can't just do back squats or front squats. You've got to include single leg range of motion lifts.
-
If an athlete is too strong it might be a rare situation that warrants increased specificity in exercise selection, e.g. lunges/step ups rather than squats
Exercise Variety: ???If an exercise is worth doing, it is worth doing all the time???
??? Introducing new exercises exposes athlete to a conditioning risk (so ture, i have been during fsq, bsq, sdl for a long time and on fri i did lunges and my glut were sore sat morning.)
??? Any training benefit gained will be quickly lost if not maintained
??? Small changes in performance, (e.g. incline rather than flat bench) provide variation without associated conditioning/detraining risks david w -
I stick to what I said. I have it backed up by Orthopeadic Drs and Orthopaedic Physical Therapists and strenght and conditioning specialists. I'm not just going to squat and front squat all the time. Step ups, sl squats, lunges, etc are sport specific. Just because I haven't squated in a week isn't bad. I know what I'm doing and the people I talk to know what they are doing. I trust them, I've been very successful in two sports Track and bobsledding.
-
bobsledding, whats ur name may know u

what is tempo 2-0-1-0?

do you have big triceps from those pushdowns and tempos.

hows the training going?

it's not going bad at all. my achillies isn't as sore as it has been which is very good. I start my season workouts next week so we'll see how that goes. I'll do most of my running after I lift. I have been doing that now and it's actually nice. I'm pretty warm when I get ready to warm up for my running workout and I feel good while running. I don't know if I necessarily like lifting and running a few hours later. When I was in college I always lifted before practice. I think it puts me in a more aggressive mood and it carries over to the workouts. I think I just rambled a bit. How are your workouts going? Where are you at school?

that's in doubt right now….. I did some block work and my achilles flared up so I'm pretty sore. I have an appt with a sports med. doc on Dec. 1. I can do all the work in trainers, but spikes just irritate the hell out of. Any advice??
-
My coach is going to adjust my workouts so I'm in trainers for my speed work as well and just race in spikes or I'll be in spikes at the beginning of the week. Suggestions of ways to get through this?

what kind of spikes

that might… i have the original johnsons. would that work? i have tendonitis so it's going to be there. what else could i do as far as lifting? i have been doing eccentric raises, stretching, cross friction, etc. hopefully that will help me out.

What were your lifts like when you were running 10.30-10.40?
um let me see here. I have journals from all those seasons, but I don't have them with me so I will try to remember what kinds of lifts I was doing. As far as olympic lifts I was doing a lot of cleans from the knee or from a box. Working a lot on moving the bar as quickly as possible. Band squats, chain squats, jump squats. Things like that. My maxes then weren't as high as they are now.
Maxes that year were…
Bench 320
Squat (next one rep max) I had a program that was a 12 week base building workout. My last heavy day started at 275 and worked up to 350×6. It was 5 sets of 6 reps. My clean was around 220 I think. I'm not real sure and my snatch was up around 155 or so. Now, I'm at 300 for bench, 235 clean, 192 snatch and 425 for back squat which the numbers are better than when I ran 10.30 and better than when I was bobsledding. when i was bobsledding I was about 15 lbs heavier than I am now. -

9'8, is that ur best.
[/quote]
yeah, 9'8 was my best. I'll have to look it up for sure. I never got over 10', but something is telling me it was more than 9'8.
-
What were your lifts like when you were running 10.30-10.40?
come to think of it, in my opinion, my best season was 2005. I got finished with bobsledding, hurt my back, took a month off and started training in january. Lost all the weight I gained and ran 10.40 at the end of may with just a base training period and one comp phase of training. So I pretty much had the equivilent of a fall training period and Indoor season. Quik also thinks thats my best season. I tend to agree.
-
How deep are the squats? Full squats, parallel, or just above parallel? (I assume not quarter squats ;))
Deep. Just below parallel. Knees behind toes, pushing through the heels.

What do you feel helped you make such a dramatic improvement from hs–>college? Was it mostly lifting or getting in a good program, combo, ?
I think it was combo of weights, good program and will. Out of hs I had never squated or cleaned in my life so I was very raw and underdeveloped. I weighed around 140 lbs out of HS ran 11.03 electric 10.5 h, 22.30 electric and 21.5 h. I put on roughly 30 lbs in college. My max was 200 for the bench and 225 rep max, don't remember how man reps. The program I was on for training was okay until outdoor of my senior year. I ran fast in the beginning, but was never tapered when I need to until 2002 at NCAA's when I eased up in the 200 and ran 21.18 jogging in the final 50m. I knew I was ready to go then. Plus I had a lot of confidence from running 10.52 for my slowest time in the 100m that year and running 21.23 in the 200m. Basically, it was luck and I made sure no one worked as hard as I did. It wasn't anything special. I wanted to win and be an NCAA champion. which didn't really happen. But the team title and ring made up for in more ways that I could have ever imagined.

do u really think all the jump squats, band squats, chain squats really help with your overall speed development?? r those tempo squats really diffcult and do develop strength or mainly strength end/hypertrophy? it seem like the ol's were always light to med in weight?

Are you talking about what I'm doing now what I did then? I was just telling him what I did in 02. I don't have the journal with me. I did go heavy because i was lifting with our throwers. The band squats had 405 on so the bottom was lighter and it allowed me to explode on the way. I don't think they are necessarily, but they were just supplementing my work on the track. The tempo squats are hard. With one minute rest taking 7 seconds to get to the bottom and 3 minutes on the way. Uh yeah, they're hard. My ol's were light back in 02' because I focused on moving the bar as quickly as I could.

930 Track Workout
Seagrave Warm Up2x4x50m hills (sprint up/walk down)
I finally started to feel like I was coming down from cold. I took a couple days off to recover. I only had three days to workout this week. So Tuesday and Wednesday were off and then I worked out today and will Friday. Hopefully, I didn't get set back too far. It's getting frustrated. I feel like a pile. Anyone have any ab circuits?

-
why u took more rest?? i would have just ran since it is not a speed workout.

I took the rest rest because I was a little dizzy. Check out my sprints post and tell me what you think. it's a lot to read though.

Tempo 2:0:1:0I don't understand your back squat and bench press numbers. Are those also in kilograms, like your clean and jerk, or are those in lbs.?
