Mech's Training Log

good you're fitting some days off in, because at this pace you may actually kill yourself.

I'm in the middle of doing a very tough camp too with a focus on strength building (heavy lifting) atm, but stopped putting my workouts down on paper a while ago, but sure i'd feel the same about mine if I did. It sure all adds up.

How'd you mess your hand up? Are you doing any physio for it?

Got angry and punched a wall. Had a pin in for 3 weeks. Dr. took it out and said I can't bang with it for 8 weeks. It's been 2 weeks, so 6 more weeks until I start mitt work back up again... potentially. I'm not doing physio. I shadowed a therapy clinic before and there isn't much they can do for me in terms of exercise that I couldn't do for myself. Though things like electric massage and water bathes w/ salt I would need to goto but those are for pain. Thanks for the concern.

I can't wait to start heavy lifting. My pull ups have been stuck at 12 reps. I think if I did pull ups with a belt and maybe a 25 pounder hooked on, it'll help my overall rep count.

ya weighted will likely help you for breaking through with the pull ups. Another thing to consider if you plateau with plyometrics is GTG (grease the groove). here's a link to have a read through if you want:

Grease the Groove for Strength « The Human Machine

good luck with the recovery on the hand. hopefully it sets well and don't give you too much grief long term.

september 23 - september 29

I decided to decrease the intensity of my pull ups by doing sets split out through the day and instead of doing them every other day, I'm doing it every day. I'm doing about 50-60 pulls up everyday and about 100-120 push ups.

I'm taking the 30th and 1st off since I'm starting the focus mitts again on the 2nd since I've broken my hand.
