Monday, November, 17
Spent the past three days listening to four top T&F (primarily) coaches talk about training, primarily the development of speed, power, and strength while avoiding injuries and over-training. Three of these men have coached Olympic gold medalists along with World Champions, while the fourth coached an Olympic finalist and British record holder. Great experience. Today: Power Cleans (onto virtually straight legs at catch, in lbs.) - 135x5x2, 185x5x2, 215x3x2, 235x3x10 Back was a bit tight at the start, but no issues at all.

At Parkour gym with the boys. Worked up to my usual max of jumping up 5 stairs from a 24" single-step approach numerous times, along with jumping up 4 stairs from a static squat position numerous times. 6 steps will be mine soon if I bother to go for it! |

Monday, December 8, evening session
At the Parkour gym with the boys. Legs felt a bit stiff after this afternoon's workout, but I worked up to my usual max of 4 steps from a stand, which was not a problem. I did not bother to attempt 5 steps, which I usually do from a single step approach, in any manner.

Wednesday, December 10
Back Squats (full depth, in lbs) - 45x8, 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 275x3, 315x3, 345x2, 365x2, 385x1, 395x1, 335x3x3 I assumed the 395 was going to be hard, but it went up very fast. I defiintely got "motivated" for this lift, which was done completely alone and with zero supportive gear (as always). Did not feel like going to 405 today. Legs were a bit stiff and tired and erectors were actually a bit sore from Monday's session. 405 will happen next hard Back Squat session, and 425 soon enough. 335 is 85% of 395 and they all went up smooth and fast with a hard effort.

Late night and tired legs, but when I take my son to the Parkour gym, I jump, so I worked up to my usual max of 4 stairs from a stand, which was very easy, and 5 stairs from a 24" single-step approach, which was also very easy once I worked up to it. |

I did not mention it in my previous post because I thought it would be nothing but a cramp, but it seems that during my last jump (because of this) I strained one of my abdominal muscles somehow despite not having any problems at all with the jump (top left, right at the insertion of my ribcage). I must have just been a bit stiff and jerked a bit instead of being smooth and relaxed. As I said, I just felt like a muscle cramp at the time. After I cooled down, I did not feel it at all until I tried to lift a weight from the morning, when it became very obvious I had actually done some damage. I tried to lift a bit very carefully anyway, until it became obvious that I should stop. I should probably not have done anything at all, or at least done a hang variation. Snatch-Grip High Pulls (up past mid-chest, in lbs) - 135x5x2, 165x5, 185x5, 205x3x3 (wanted to do more but realized I should stop).

The issue with my ab/intercostals, which was never formally diagnosed or treated, seems to be about 95% better, but this has taken TWO WEEKS, an eternity (to me) given the (barely understood and totally unexpected) nature of the injury. Hang Cleans (minimal dip at catch, in lbs.) - 45x8, 95x6, 115x6, 145x5, 165x5, 185x5x6 These were all very smooth, easy, and pain-free, but I figured this was enough intensity and volume for my first workout in two weeks and given the fact that the injury is only about 95% healed. Still very pleased and relieved to be training again at all! |

Monday, December 29 - morning
Hang Cleans (minimal dip at catch, in lbs.) - 45x8, 95x5, 135x5, 155x5, 175x5, 195x5, 215x3x5 (no issues at all), 185x5x5 (very smooth and fast) No issues at all with any of these, although I will likely be sore. Afternoon Finally able to do some easy and cautious jumping at the Parkour gym. Jumped up 3 steps onto straight legs from stand, full squat, and single-step approach with no issues, as well as onto a 30" box landing in a high quarter squat, but I was still scared to forcefully raise my knees, probably for good reason. Much better than nothing and hopefully fully healed soon.

Snatch-Grip High Pulls (to clavicles, in lbs) - 45x8, 115x5, 145x5, 165x5, 185x5x10 Felt good and fast, with no pain in injured spot (although I could sometimes feel it a bit). The volume felt good, but I expect to have sore traps and maybe erectors tomorrow! Hope to start squatting again in a couple of days.

Legs and back are just a touch sore today, which is nice. Did some cautious jumping at the Parkour gym today. Felt much better, although not still not 100%. I was able to work up to jumping up 4 steps from a stand and very easily from a single step. I did not bother to attempt 5 steps today. Very encouraging. Next week! |

No ill-effects at all from yesterday's jumping session, so back to the Parkour gym I go with my son. I quickly work up to 4 stairs from a stand and a single-step approach, which are easy and comfortable, and then do several jumps up 5 steps for the first time since my injury. No issues. Afterwards I move to a box, and quickly work up to 41.5", which is easy and comfortable. I then jump onto 43", which I make with no problem but after which I feel my injured area just slightly, so I leave it there for the day. Encouraged. Three full weeks from injury to 99% recovered.
