Sprint work on basketball court
Daily Report:
Notes: Squats felt good today. Legs were fresh after taking the weekend off. Deadlift went up very easy. Work capacity was tough, especially on the lower back. My grip needs to improve. Sprint work was easy today. The fast 400's were done at about 85% effort because I wanted to save my legs for the last week of the Smolov base squat cycle. Cannot remember how many sprints I did on the basketball court. Focus was on short, intense bursts of speed which I felt confident in today.
Body: Lower back a bit sore but otherwise fine.
Nutrition: Decent. Post workout meal of grape nuts and whole milk is working great and I feel is really aiding in my recovery. Watching my milk intake and keeping it to approx 35 oz per day of whole milk, all drank in the morning post workout.

Daily Report:
Notes: At the suggestion of Shane Skowron (sstrains.blogspot.com) I have been altering my warm-up for squats a bit as well as wearing my running pants while squatting in the morning. I believe it has really helped me keep my legs warm and also to get my hamstrings firing. Slowly but surely my squat is improving. Deadlifts were easy, light and explosive. I am going to experiment with adding a short work capacity section in after my strength portion. I will keep them no longer than 10-12 minutes.
