Know exactly what you're talking about- very hard too not go faster when you're feeling good- I don't think anything beyond 90% speed is a good idea unless competing (and being well prepared to do so!)

Tuesday, September 9
Paused Front Squats (very controlled eccentric, 3 second pause at rock bottom, in lbs) - 45x8x2, 95x6, 135x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5 No issues with my hamstring, but decided that was enough for today. Turns out I do have some minor bruising that I did not notice before, indicating I definitely have a low-grade tear in the belly of the muscle. Later: A total of 1,300 jump rope contacts, in sets of 150-200. No issue with hamstring at all, not surprisingly. |

Shawn, forgot to note that I agree 100% with you. The problem with sprinting is knowing the difference between 90% and 95% and the suddeness with with problems can arise.
Thursday, September 11 - noon 1,300 reps of jumping rope, in sets of 100 jumps. Friday, September 12 Paused Front Squats (3 second pause at rock bottom, in lbs) - 45x8, 135x5, 185x3, 225x3, 255x3x6 No issues at al despite second day in a row. Hamstring still totally injured for any form of running or pulling though. |

Strongman circuit. Nothing special. I need to get in better shape and my grip is relatively pathetic.

Sunday, September 28
Gorgeous day here, so I wanted to try some Overheads for the first time since July 21 (copied below). Started very easy and prgressed slowly and cautiously. Overheads with 12# shot (in m) - took about 6 easy throws, 6 moderately hard, and 8 quite hard. Best 5 throws were 17.36, 17.24, 17.21, 17.12, 17.07, for a top 5 average of 17.20m. Monday, July 21 - morning Paused Back Squats (3 second pause at rock bottom, in pounds) - 45x8, 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 255x3, 285x3, 315x3x3 Noon session 12# Overhead Shot Toss - w.u. + 16 hard tosses - best 5 were 17.91, 17.83, 17.81, 17.78, 17.74 for a top 5 average of 17.81 On my very last toss, I managed to strain my left hand forearm extensor at the instant I started to explode from the bottom position. Very odd. I have NEVER done anything remotely like that before! Zero bruising am minimal swelling so I hope it is no big deal. |

Sunday, September 28, afternoon session
LOTS of jumping up stairs and a bit onto a 38" box. Only up 4 stairs, easily and with minimal squat upon landing from a short approach, and also up 4 stair from a paused static squat with no arm action, landing in a deep quarter squat (MUCH harder). So not getting much from the approach and/or just wimping out regarding the landing. First time in quite a while though! Zero issues with hamstring, as expected.

Sunday, October 5
Sntach-Grip High Pulls (from floor up to at least mid-chest, in lbs) - 135x5x2, 185x5x2, 205xugh! First time doing these since I pulled my left hamstring a month or so ago. No issues at all with 185 and it was flying up to clavical height so I decided to go up. Felt my hammie twinge hard on my second rep. I stopped instantly, but it was too late. Mildly reinjured my hammie! Ugh!

I was on vacation in the South-West US for 10 days. Activity included a very strenuous hike in the Grand Canyon, strenous mountain biking, some bouldering/scrambling, and an afternoon of rock climbing with a guide.
Sunday, October 19 Nice day out so I decided to do some overheads for the first time in a while. 12# Overhead Short Tosses - several warm-up tosses then 12 hard tosses - best 5 tosses were 17.16m/56.4" (last throw), 17.06, 16.97, 16.70, 16.70, for an average of 16.92m Felt great and no issues at all with arm or hammie.

Saturday, November 1
Jumping up stairs at the Parkour gym with my boys. LOTS of jumping!!! Only got onto 4th stair, albeit landing in a solid quarter squat. Just not mentally ready for the 5th step.

Sunday, November 2 - morning
One hour yoga class. My flexibility is terrible in many areas. No surprise. Feeling my pecs (from driving my arms) and abs from all the jumping yesterday, which I have not done much of recently. Afternoon Back to the Parlour gym with the kids. More jumping. Mad it up to the 5th step after a while today, then was able to do that consistently. Pleased about that. Landing in a high parallel squat vs. a high quarter squat on the 4th step. |

Came down with a bad case of food poisoning. I have NEVER felt worse in my entire life, but it was really only that bad for an hour and a half, not including feeling rather poorly for the rest of the night. Ugh. Tuesday, November 4 Feeling much better today, with just a bit of residual effect. No big deal. Power Cleans (minimal dip at catch, in lbs) - 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x5x10 Light, but felt great.
