Stairs: Tuesday 5/8/7

Probably the worst thing for an achilles or maybe the best thing for strengthening it? You decide, or I will by not taxing it and taking the time to feel out this work...out.

Harvard stadiums:

3 big, 1 small

4 big, 1 small

2 big, 2 small

2 big, 1 small

My legs were shaking after this and I realized I have a way to go to get in shape.

I worked on cutting a little bit afterwards and found that I have to get lower in and out of my cuts to release the tension on my ankle.

weights: Monday 5/7/7

I missed my max rep workout last week, but I want to keep my rotation going, which wont happen cause I had to push my max effort leg to Friday of last week. I think Ill go dynamic leg Tuesday and go abck to max effrot leg next Tue.

Max Effort bench: I felt weak right from the start. I didn't improve at all which sucks, but tje 215 set was easy enough leading me to believe I had the 225 set in the bag. Not so much. 1 rep unassisted, 2nd lots of assistance.

goaltimate!

I always have to spell "ultimate" out so I don't write goaltamite, which I would actually prefer.

About a half hour of goaltimate. It was fun and a good way to test my recovery. The ankle felt allright. I think I'm done with laying off it and now I am just gonna play through whatever I have to and strengthen it.

Weights: Friday 5/3/7

max effort squat:
5 @ 225
5 @ 245
5 @ 265
5 @ 285
4 @ 305
4 @ 315 (3 plates!) I was worried that I wasn't getting good depth on my last set so I got someone to spot me, took it down pretty low on the 1st 3 and then definitely below 90 on my 4th. It was a struggle to get that weight up, but with a little help I did it before I blew a blood vessel.

box depths: standing on the edge of a box touch your toe to the ground in front of you and come back up
(3) 0f 10

split squats:
(3) 8 @ 35
