day 23/45
when Sweeney does it, he does it right, go big or go home
Training:
1 min interval runs
(1st 20 sec increasing speed to top speed by 20 sec; 2nd 20 sec maintenance at top speed; 3rd 20 sec decreasing speed from 40-60 sec)
rest/walk 3 min; repeat 8 times
these runs are increasing efforts from 0-20s (80....100%), very high effort from 20-40s (100%) and decreasing effort from 40-60s (100...80%); goal is to understand different speeds to enable to shift gears as needed when needed; each 20-40 sec set should feel like its the same speed, if not, video tape yourself and send to optimumtraining@shaw.ca and i'll assess you and report back to everyone on the blog on rest day
if you feel 3 min is too much rest, you're doing things incorrectly
when others prescribe run workouts like this with less rest requiring the highest efforts, it actually does not make sense based on the nervous system and recovery; one CANNOT recover and repeat with the same effort and speed with a 1:1, 1:2 work rest ratio like most prescribe...beware...and if they can, they're not working hard enough in the efforts or do not have to power to do so...sometimes it is prescribed for conditioning purposes as in row 500m all out, rest 2 min x 4...but this is done with purpose of lactate buffering in mind and not the recovery...most times this is not thought out in interval training...a MAJOR reason why some never get to the 5th gear ever
the press/jerk ratios are something i've been playing with and have asked in relation to a number of weight lifters vs. fitness junkies over time (bodybuilders have a % they like, power lifters have one and "strength coaches" have one)...and the lower the percentage usually shows the efficiency in your ability to translate your body under a bar as opposed to the strength of pressing it overhead...i'd like most at 60%...as moving a weight with your hips is VERY impt in this sport of fitness
all of your presses will improve over time at a more accelerated rate than it has...we'll work with bench press at 14" and its upper body structural needs (videos to come) and various HSPU/OHS/ring dip varieties and prove it
