As I took my first throw I felt like such a hypocrite! 

"Andy will either love this or point out that I'm a two-faced liar!"

Hence the only 5 throws hahaha

10/25/21 

The bulletproofing has commenced. I told my wife to shoot my knees and shoulders and the lead bounced right off. I am ready

Doing a test week to see where I am at. Nothing that will hurt myself, just gauging my 3RM in a few of my lifts.

Warm Up 

Squat 3RM 

135x8, 135x5, 185x5, 185x3, 225x3, 255x3, 275x3, 295x3, 315x3, 335x3 felt solid. Could have easily gone more but didn't want to grind. 

Bench 3RM 

135x8, 135x5, 185x5, 185x3, 215x3, 235x3, 255x3, 275x3 and called it there. Nice and easy.

Bike Sprints / Banded Lat Pull Downs 

4x30 seconds / 4x15 

And Done!

10/27/21

Hang Snatch/Hang Clean 3RM (Both snatches and cleans were not full caught. Snatches were to arms length overhead but then immediately dropped down to prevent shoulder carnage. Hang Cleans are high pulls but I rotate my elbows under as much as I can.)

Warm Up

Hang Snatch 

bar x10, 95x5, 95x5, 125x3, 145x3, 155x3 that was all I had 

Hang Clean 

135x5, 135x3, 185x3, 215x3, 235x3, 245x3, 255x3 ugh im weak

Did some Body building stuff with DBs after to make myself feel strong, which I'm not. Oh well.

OFFICIAL beginning to my offseason training! Woo! This block isnt anything super crazy but more of a prep block for the one that takes place after which is brutal

Warm Up 

Incline DB 3RM, 3 second eccentric tempo (will be switching to BB for next 3 weeks due to unrulily 'build your own DBs') 

45sx8, 45sx5, 60sx3, 70sx3, 80sx3, 90sx3, 90sx3 called it at 90s because my wrists started to collapse. Strength was good for more if it was a solid state DB. Oh well. 

Inverted Row, 3 sec eccentric tempo / Empty Trap bar (75#) z press

4x10 / 4x10 

T-Bar Row / Push Ups / Band Pull Aparts, all with 3 second eccentric tempo

4x8 @ 90, 115, 140, 140 / 3x10 / 3x10 the eccentrics are BRUTAL 

Side Lying DB Powell Raises 3x10 @ 15#
1/2 Kneeling Paloff Press 3x10 each side 
Ab Wheel 3x10

The tempos and short rest periods are brutal!

My elbow/forearm has been screaming recently. Tennis elbow pretty sure. Not positive why it has occurred but I am going to finish the block with the least amount of grip related activities I can do. Then, I'll do some forearm rehab/time off from most things other than SSB squats and like, glute bridges. It sucks, but I cant be injured this early in the off season.

Took a few days off because Liam (my son) got me sick. The first of many sickness that delightful son of mine will bring home from daycare. Fortunately, it was just a cold. After 3 days of water, Mucinex, and honey/whiskey, I am feeling much better. 

11/27/21

Decided to change some bits of my training for the final day of this block to avoid over using my forearm. The tennis elbow is rough, but I ordered some rubber bands and other tools to help combat it and rehab. 

Warm Up 

BB Glute Thrust (replacing rack pulls)

135x10, 135x10, 225x8, 225x8, 275x5, 295x5, 315x5 felt good! 

SSB Split squats rather than DBs (3 second eccentric, 60 sec rest) 

95x10each, 115x10each, 115x10each, 125x10each rough

SSB Step Up (2 sec eccentric) / Prone Hamstring curls against bands (3 sec eccentric) / Leg Lifts 

3x10each @ 125, 125, 145 / 3x10 / 3x12 

Banded 1/2 Kneeling Chops 2x12 each side 
Side Bridge Leg Lift and hold 2x4each side with a 10 second hold each rep

135x10, 225x8, 315x5, 315x5, 435x5, 455x5, 485x5 felt good / 135x5, 135x3, 185x3, 215x4, 225x4, 235x4 

Reverse SSB Front Squat 3RM (3 Sec eccentric) 

135x5, 135x5, 185x3, 185x3, *begin tempo 225x3, 245x3, 265x3, 285x3, 295x3 wanted 305 but my upper back was rounding, even with the SSB reversed. Really gotta work on that shit. Overall, though, pleased. 

Hex Bar Deads (2,3,5,10 rep scheme) 3 sec eccentric, (15" rest between set blocks, 90" rest between actual sets) 

3 sets @ 325, 305, 275 absolutely brutal. Grip, traps, hammies, and breathing all taxed to the max. Loved it. 

Lay on floor x10

Very sore from Tuesday still. 

Warm Up 

Power Snatch from floor (no catch) 

95x5, 95x5, 115x5, 115x5, 125x5 not bad 

BB Seal Rows 3RM (3 sec eccentric) 

135x5, 135x5, 185x5, 205x3, 215x3, 225x3, 235x3 got some work to do. 

Bench Press (2,3,5,10 rep scheme) 3 sec eccentric 

135x8, 135x5, 185x5, begin rep scheme/tempo 205 (did NOT get all 10 on the final push. Got 7. Took a break and did the final 3) 165, 135 so much pump

Chest Supported High DB Row 3 sec eccentric / Alternating DB OHP 3 sec eccentric 

3x12 @ 70s / 3x10each @ 40s 

Did something during these to something near my upper ribs, under my right chest. It's sharp and hurty but not when I breathe so that's weird. Hopefully it's ok but I'll keep an eye on it. My guess is either a rib fracture/displacement, intercostal pull, or serratus anterior pull.

I like that you're doing things I understand now. Loving the random hurty things too. I get them all the time. We have so much in common.

Rib-thing no longer hurts. Not sure what it was but im just gonna pretend I'm fine and move on. 

Warm Up 

Rack Pull (below knee) 2 sec eccentric / Hang snatch (no real catch) 

135x8, 225x5, 225x5, 315x5, *begin tempo 405x5, 465x5, 485x5 hard / 115x3, 115x4, 125x4, 125x4, 125x4 easy 

Hex Bar Deadlift 3RM (3 sec eccentric) 

165x5, 255x5, 255x5, 345x3, *begin tempo 405x3, 435x3, 455x3 really hard. But, honestly, not unhappy. 

Squat death (2,3,5,10 rep scheme. 15 sec rest between, 90 sec rest after each cluster set) 3 sec eccentric 

135x5, 225x5, 225x3, *begin tempo/rep scheme 275, 225, 195 and my legs no longer work.

Warm Up 

Power Clean from floor (focus is technique)

135x4, 135x3, 185x3, 205x2, 225x3, 225x3, 225x3 I was run down this morning. Babies not sleeping through the night will do that. These felt of shite

Incline Bench 3RM (3 sec eccentric) 

135x8, 135x5, 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 235x3, 245x3 see above, sad but there was no sense in pushing beyond 245 today

Bent Over Rows (rep scheme 2,3,5,10) 3 sec eccentric 

205, 175, 155, 135 for sets. Abysmal!

Trap Bar Incline Press / Single Arm Banded Row (both 3 sec eccentric) 

3x15 @ 85, 105, 115 / 3x10 

Ran out of time for core. Will do some during work.

curious about the 3 second eccentric tempo. Whats the idea behind it? Just more time under tension? Has that been effective for you? Or just torture?

My understanding is that controlling the decent and exploding up builds explosivity and muscle as the eccentric part of the lift is what breaks down the tissue. Similarly, one could argue that doing slow eccentrics and explosive concentrics mimics a throw as throwing you go slow to fast. 

But that is more of a stretch. 

I think it helps me get stronger, faster. I like it on my joints better too, so I'm not bouncing reps. 

But also, yes. It is pure torture!!
