Block 6 Power 2.0


This weeks begins the first of my new block with the primary focus being power. Also the energy system of primary focus is alactic power. This is a very CNS intensive block which will require me to maintain an extensive regimen of regeneration and recovery. First few days have proven that already but are going great otherwise.

Regeneration-Contrast Shower 4 rounds

So far so good. Got another sprint session tomorrow followed by weights and plenty of regeneration. Overall Sleep Quality is great and Heart Rate is at 59 this morning so recovery is going well. As of now squat is still feeling very strong even after a morning sprint session and overall power and jumping is getting very explosive compared to previous blocks. As I stated in a previous post when I began my first power block was I missed being able to dunk the ball and since my injury it has been a far cry. But I am still chasing it as my goal by the end of the block and I am getting pretty close. Will post video when it is a reality.
