wednesday december 29

static contraction training

leg press end(with dynamometer on leg press) first push(warm up) 900 lbs, second push 1150 lbs

It dont look like a lot but remember that when you normally put 1000 lbs on a leg press,you only have around 700 lbs of real weight to push du to the incline,but with the dynamometer,it's direct force that is measured.The problem is that my dynamometer is supposed to measure only to 1000 lbs max,I push it harder,but the needle on it stopped squarly at 1150 ,so I think I reach it's limit.Next time I think i will have to do it one leg at the time.

deadlift end:495 x 1 , 725 x 1 take it off but not sure I lock it up

gripper captains of crush no 1 and no 2 only once but put maximum force after it's closed for 3 seconds

static contraction(in the strongest position)with one arm pulldowns,one arm seated rows,military press,bench press and one arm curl

With this training my joints really have a good  rest all week even if the weights are heavy because they are always at the stongest position with no grinding

motion.It's a big workout for the nervous system.

Sumo deadlift in briefs:315 x 1 , 535 x 1

wednesday november 17

I will train at the gym sunday (I won't try to squat 900 lbs this week,but at least I will be there ;it's the first step to get a good squat again).Right now I do some light active recovery work, twice a day.

saturday november 13

I didn't want to put it on the training log but I tried to e-mail Ross twice and it didn't work.I won't train Sunday because I tore a little bit my inner thigh yesturday when squatting,it was not bad when I was still warm,I complete the rest of my workout.Now that I'm cold it's clear that it's wrong,and I have a little blue area to confirm it.That means no heavy squats but I don't stop training,that means plenty of time to pump my muscles on not useful exercises:leg extentions,pulldowns ,curls etc..
