PRI drills

Monday – UB tempo

December 19, 2011

Another poor week of updates on my training on my part. While my lower back is still recovering, I’m not gonna get on any program and will keep playing around with some stuff. Today I tried one of Joel Jamieson’s aerobic training method called ‘the tempo method’ which is basically just using lifting exercises with 2-0-2-0 tempo for 3-5 sets of 8-10 reps with active rest in between sets. That method is used for hypertrophy of the slow twitch muscle fibers that contribute to aerobic and anaerobic endurance. So here’s what I ended up doing:

pvc pipe
PRI drills
UB mobility

A1- Low-incline DB Chest press 4 x 10 w/ 50s, 45s, 40s
a2- carioca’s 25yards/side 3x

B1- Seated row 42,5 4 x 10
b2- high knee skips x 25yards, backward jog x 25yards 3x

C1- Goblet squat 40 3 x 10
c2- butt kickers x 25yards, backpedal x 25yards 3x

D1- Wide grip pulldown 42,5 4 x 10
d2- side shuffle x 25yards/side 3 x

static stretching

Def not used to this method with higher reps and slow tempo; i was def out of my element and had to use super light weights which is expected with this type of method. I will be sore tmw, that’s for sure!

Monday – UB

December 12, 2011

pvc pipe, laX ball on glute meds
UB warmie

A1- side standing MB shotput 3 x 6/side
a2- KB 1-leg SLDL 2 x 6/side

B1- Chin ups +25 x 3, +30 x 3, +35 x 3, +30 x 3
b2a- supine balloon breathing 2 x
b2b- side lying windmills 2 x 6/side

C1- Close grip bench 115 EDT x 7min
C2- Chest supported row 180 EDT x 7min

Messed around with 1/2 kneeling stance, rolling pattern and baby get ups which are flat out IMPOSSIBLE for me! haha

Monday – post-injury UB

December 5, 2011

Somehow injured my back while sleeping (???) and could barely move for a full week. Now that it’s behind (or kind of) I’m getting back at it, but the pain is still there a little, so next couple of training are going to be light, geared more toward work capacity than max effort.
