Block 3 Complete!!!!


This last week concluded my block 3 max strength mesocycle. Overall I was very pleased with the result but know I could have made it much better. I had some pretty poor sleep quality in the beginning as well my Readiness to train sort of suffered. With the emphasis being on load intensity compared to endurance this block I had to do more restorative works. I routinely stretched quads and external rotators for longer durations which seemed to help my hip mobility a lot.

Some highlights were that I was able to complete 50 reps (sprints, backpedal, shuffle) of 6 sec on 30 off with weight vest. My floor press has also gone up around 10 pounds from a few months ago. Finally my speed strength increased each week at a steady pace.

My main focuses are getting my back squat back up to where it was prior to injury. I haven't done a full back squat since Spring. My ankle mobility is well enough that they shouldn't be that bad any more. I will also have to do some more restorative work to make sure my HR doesn't climb too much. My average this month is up almost 4 from my last block. There is also a higher emphasis on speed strength and strength work will be more intense. Ill be sure to post my first week when it complete.
