New Gym, new program...

No, I didn't do the power drop, I do a med ball plyo push up. Start on Med ball, drop, and explode back up ontoit. I don't have anyone to drop one yet so I had to substitute.

I love that move. I do a few repetitions of that exercise in my warmup sometimes to get my shoulder stabilizers going.

Yeah, I am really liking it as part of my routine, didn't think I would.

New PR on the Power Clean. The first set I did it, I maybe dropped 2 inches under the bar. I was so afraid I wouldn't get it, I got insane hip acton on the bar and it essentially racked itself. The second set more closely resembled a power clean. I believe my previous best was 230. DB snatch felt really good and quick, I will bump to 90s next week.
 
Nice job on the cleans, Dale. 245 cleans makes you a bad ass in my books. :thumbup:
How much longer will you be doing your current program?
 
Thanks. I will do the program til I plateau for 2-3 weeks, then I will change it.
 
nice clean. no jerk?

So, forgot about the ladder stuff, oh well, I will do it tomorrow maybe. Today, 315 felt real easy so I bumped squats up to 325 which was about right.

The last 2 exercises described-

Over/Under-Sit as if you were about to do Russian Twist, lean back with feet off the ground, knees slightly bent. Go under and over each like in a figure eight.

Front Toss-Trap a medicine ball between the ankles. With the med ball trapped, rapidly flew your hips and knees, flinging the med ball up in front of you. Drop and repeat.

Got some good hip work with both of these, I am adding them since there is no multi-hip.
 
So Dale, the over/unders were done with a medicine ball?

Good stuff, Dale. How are you performing your Plyo push-ups?
 
Start with both hands on a ball, drop to the ground into a push-up, explode back up to the ball.
 
Thursdays-
Plyos-
1-leg jump to box (30")-4x3
Multi-jump to box(30"/26")-4x4
Lateral Scissor (Ladder)-4 sets
Lateral Shuffle (10yds, cut, back)-2x20 yds each side
Icky Shuffle (Ladder)-2 sets with short cuts, 2 sets with long cuts

So, 1-leg hop to box was so much better, I was getting much more height. Felt like doing more decel work so I did more lateral shuffles and did up and back to include a cut. Also did Icky shuffle, but did it with wider cuts to work on deceleration, I typically just do it for quick feet. First time through I cut wide and hit every square for 2 sets, then I cut wider and hit every other square. Good times.

One thing I have noticed since doing this nutrient timing stuff is that each time I do a specific workout, it gets progressively better. I am sick and I still felt better about this plyo work out than the one last week. I am also drinking less, that combined with the placebo effect could be the reason for my progress.
 
The Sabbath, my child, the sabbath.
 
If you really cared you would drink 7 days a week.
 
Friday-

DB Snatch-90s 3x2

Only did power stuff, felt like shit and only had 30 minutes to work out.

Must say, I am quite happy with how this program has gone. Lifts go up every week, I was sick as shit all weekend including today, and plyos are going so much better.
 
Nice squatting and reverse hypers. I wish I had a real machine for GHRs and reverse hypers.
 
no no, not sick....hung over.

I will neither confirm nor deny whether a hangover is involved, but if I was hung over, I was sick on Friday before I got shitfaced. :p
