Finding my groove šŸ•ŗ

Been a very inconsistent past few weeks in the weight room & track, but getting things moving again.

Finals week hit like a truck, then got my gym back up and running. Has been a busy last few weeks, but life happens!

Have got quick 20 minute sessions in when I can to stay after it.

Now returning to the regular scheduled program.

Getting more yolked is the answer to life’s problems.

Hypertrophy is a key component in performance, especially in underdeveloped athletes who lack size.

The more muscle we have, the more force we can produce. Although there’s not a perfect 1:1 correlation between muscle size and strength, there is a very strong one.

Get them sleeves hugging your arms.

Raise the ceiling, then increase the rate in which you can access it.

Both are vital, but I too often see people want to tip toe around the strength portion. You have to get strong. If you can only lift 100lbs, but can access it quickly, cool. What if you can now lift 300lbs with a decent RFD??? Even cooler right? You have a greater ceiling āž”ļø more access to force.

Developing max strength is a component you shouldn’t skip.

The same can be said the other way. The weight room doesn’t solve everything. There are people who have very high max force outputs, with horrible RFD. Then, they struggle to express this high output on the field because they don’t have enough time to express it.

Both ends are wrong. Get strong. Learn how to use it.

HRV allows us to understand how you body is responding to stress.

Stress can include heavy back squats OR finals week. Your body interprets both as stress and heightens your sympathetic nervous system.

Managing life stress and training stress is critical to keep moving the needle forward. That’s not to say we should avoid hard. Training hard is a must, but how we structure our week/ program can help us better handle it.

Sprint ASMR

Starting to feel pretty good and getting opened back up. Being intentional with my warmup and refusing to get lazy while sprinting has certainly played a role in this.

Weekly volume is still pretty low, but I’ve been able to scale up intensity a bit. Especially taking my time increasing volume with flies because I haven’t done any max velocity stuff for a long long time.

Slowly turning up intensity has been a great opportunity to focus on form and certain positions I need to be better in. I’ve been making a conscious effort to have good shin angles out the gate and to keep my pelvis tucked under me as I’m transitioning to max v. I have a tendency to get lazy and dump the pelvis which is a no go.

Best I’ve felt in a really long time. Strength numbers are stable/ trending up and I’m feeling like I can move pretty well in space.
