September 1, 2020 Broad Jumping & Sprinting

My legs were still fairly tired from the past couple days...but still managed to uncork a couple PRs on broad jumping. The weather was nice, slight dry breeze, and again wearing sneakers not spikes for the jumps.  I'm really starting to wonder if I could have done something in track & field if my high school had a team.  I may try competing in master's level stuff soon, and also forcing my children to live out my unfulfilled athletic dreams, slowly crushing their will and imposing my own, as all good parents do.

 Good strength all around here, I really need to get more 25s & 10s so I can start putting more weight on the hanging power snatches & split jerks..and also be able to do 265 & 270 on lifts (only have one set of 10s so I have to skip above that weight right now).  Since no one has plate-loaded dumbbells in stock yet, I tried doing my own version by just picking up two 45 lbs. plates in one hand....my thumb got caught between and almost broken in half...I think that's a sign I need to improvise a different method for these....

 Good session here, hit 375 twice on squats but don't think I had depth.  My left IT band area has been sore when squatting, but it doesn't appear to be the IT band itself..I can't figure out what it is exactly that's hurting in that area.  Foam rolling & the Hyper Ice don't seem to hit the spot/area at all...warming up and stretching doesn't do anything either, and it doesn't hurt when I'm sprinting, or walking around, etc...

August 25, 2020 Track & Broad Jumps

 Wow...ok, so I remembered that when I wear sneakers instead of spikes for broad jumping I used to get better jumps.  I wasn't sure if that was still the case...apparently, it is.  Uncorked a bunch of 10'+ jumps here, including a PR & then tied the PR.  That was after I had already done my sprinting work.  I feel like Tuesdays I'm much more likely to break a record on the jumps; I'm going later in the day usually so I'm more warmed up.
