-Need to get a timing gate and measure out 40 yards to get a new legitimate 40 time
-RPE is kind of difficult to rate for heavy deadlifts lifting solo
-probably overrating some of the RPEs but no big deal.

That is three days in a row of heavier lifting ive got 2 weeks left of this block then I will change some stuff up. Still planning a max for all the lifts im trying to improve early January and likely a few weeks afterwards as well. Im not taking maxes while im being asked to travel to tournaments all year so I have to try to be careful about when I plan them. This training block is fatiguing enough as it is but very fun and really pushing the boundaries of being able to maintain motor skills for baseball and build strength at the same time.

Ive been researching this Mr. America competition it looks pretty cool to me.

tommorow will be a GPP day and probably some medicine ball throws and maybe some tempo runs

For some reason I don’t believe you. But good luck with the Mr. America thing.

Get a cheap speed encoder to measure RPE. I literally got one for 100$. You can get a little nicer one for 150-250$. It gives you another variable to track and compare with your own subjective perceptions. Sometimes I am in agreement with it and sometimes I know there's no way I had even a rep more.


Also you mentioned speed gates for sprints. I found this one for 150$(there's same one on Amazon for 126$ used):


There's a nicer one on Ali but the shipping is insane.

I've found that taking TMG (2g twice per day) significantly reduces fatigue(obviously you may need a lower dose like 0.5-1g). While I am not completely recovered after heavy lifting, I am not super sore nor completely drained/wiped out.

It is deadlifts that does it. It isn't bad fatigue but it lingers for a day or maybe two. Full Deadlifts aren't the smartest thing for a primary sport athlete but I want to hit some lifetime PRs first before I drop it for other movements.
 
GPP day
medicine ball rotational throws 3x5 each way

ez bar curls
35x20,15,12,12,12 /7 minute AMRAP all@6-8(71 total reps)

pullups 7 minute AMRAP
bwx10,6,7,6 (29 total reps) @6-8

planks 4 sets of 30+ seconds

medicine ball tempo throws 5 different throws 2 setsx10 reps each throw took about 15 minutes


Ended up getting a stop watch and cones so I can get my sprint time timed and start measuring it. Need to measure vertical jump pretty soon to.

Went ahead and purchased some baseball plyo balls as well as im going to try to brute force my way to 90 mph+ pitch so ill be doing some plyo drills with the ball a couple of times a week and running pulldown throws 1-2 times a week and measure the velocity periodically. My curveball and slider are great but I think adding some velo would give me some better strategic options when I pitch plus more arm speed never hurts from shortstop or outfield.

-Today did the plyo ball drills/pulldowns/ 45 pitch bullpen

AM SESSION
light plyo ball throwing routine
about 20 sub maximal throws
100 swings off tee and soft toss both sides
mobility routine/rotator cuff light band for

measured a CMJ got 23.3 inches

top time ran 3 sprints at each distance 2 for warmups

timed a 30=4.25
timed a 40=5.25
timed a 60=7.94

sprints were done on concrete and in basketball shoes also hand times so these are just rough estimates. Generally on a track and with track shoes you can shave up a few decimals. Actually did the vertical CMJ in baseball turf cleats as well.

Heiden jumps 3x5 each way

hips and shoulder mobility routine

(also that is a calculated 245~ power clean max so program is definitely working for olympic lifts. The plan is to see this program through to the end and then push the olympic lifts more specifically for a couple of blocks THEN do a general program for a couple of blocks as an off season for strength.). If I could full clean 275 after this super total program I Would be happy and somewhere around bodyweight for full snatch would be nice to.

Short plyo ball low intensity.

turn and burns, rockers, reverse throws 10 total throws each at 80%

tee 7s drill both sides of plate, 10 swings soft toss each side

ready for playoff game tommorow waiting to see on the weather situation if we play or not


did my mobility routine which includes hip/groin stretches, dynamic hamstring stretches, quads and hip flexor and shoulder thoracic stretches. My hip to shoulder is improving pretty dramatically and I hold the stretches for 30 seconds for 1 or 2 reps daily. Dynamic stretches I just do like 10-20 dynamic reps of whatever im doing. The more layback and thoracic extension you can create for a pitch or throw gives you more time to impart velocity on the ball. Ive never had good hip to shoulder separation.
