Changing and progressing exercises for the next four weeks. I wanted 10 weeks of conversion to power training, but the last 3 weeks would be excessive. My alactic system should be in peak condition soon enough.
Morning:
1. Lateral Plyo Shuffle on Bench 4x10sec/10,11,15,17 (increased reaction time each set)
2. Prisoner Jump Squats 4x10sec/10,8,10,10
Ran through it smoothly. Feeling more mobility and ROM from prior workouts and warmups
Evening:
1. Full Snatch 5x4(mini sets "singles")/ 95x5singles,105x5singles,115x4 singles,115x3singles
2. Situp to Squat to Plyo Pushup 5x5/5,5,5,4
hit the right wrist in a bad way. Stop before it becomes a serious issue
Switching Routine to EOD (every other day). Work schedule increasing and I need more time to recover.
Day1 Week5 (This will be the last week of this strictly alactic system training phase. Next week I will start combining it with "functional" hypertrophy training)
Morning:
1. Lateral Plyo shuffle (on and off bench) 4x10sec +15 reps/17,18,20,21
2. Jumping Prisoner Squats 4x10sec +10reps/11,10,11,11
Reduced rest break to 2:30 instead of 3o
Evening:
1. Full Snatches 4x4(singles)/145x4,145x2,115x4,115x2 (acute pain in rear right shoulder/ ended rest of the set)
2. Situp to Squat Thrust and plyo pushup 4x6/5,6,6
Right shoulder letting me know it's best to stop before pain becomes nagging injury.

Whatsa 4pt turnover "breakdance"? Sounds a little 80s if you ask me.
LOL...nice vid. That makes me not want to do the movement anymore. I'm sure next time I do I'll screw up thinking I look too much like a RUN DMC wannabe.
I'll place a pic up later showing me doing the movement. I believe it is actually called "floor roll-overs". I hijacked it from Doc Stuart McGill. I thought I gave it a nice name. I didn't expect it to sound "funky-fresh"

Lilj: Couldn't find a decent pic to show th movement. Here's the breakdown:
- Ball of feet and hands on ground. Knees bent comfortably. Chest faces the ground.
-Rotate entire body over either left or right and replace hands and ball of feet on ground. Now chest should face sky.
- Repeat the opposite direction. *Keep head/neck/chest/abs in-line through entire movement.
Usually I post pics of what I do on my T.I.A. section of my site.
Have a lot on my plate today. Hopefully I will be able to complete both sessions.
Morning:
1. High Jump to Sprint (10yds) 4x4singles -won't be timed today- working on mechanics and fixing mistakes in my "jump to sprint reaction"/ felt better less force bleeds at the start. It seems I was missing immediate arm swinging to initiate the sprint. I forced the upper body into a forward leaning position as I came out of the jump
2. Squat Thrust to Jump over bench 4x4 (2.5min rest)/4 all
Able to squeeze in a training session:
Afternoon:
1. Power Cleans 4x5singles/warmup got out of control a bit. I end up doing a lot of singles with lighter weight working on mechanics and my front squat depth. Finished it off with this:195 of 1 single and 3misses, 175 of 2 singles and 2 misses, 165 2singles

My endurance is pretty low right now. So, somewhere in the middle of this training I was a heavy breathing sweaty fallout.
