Jtown's Training Log

hey guys. I am a very inexperienced high school kids who is starting my offseason training for lacrosse. Really just made this log to keep myself accountable. I have lifted for about a year. Couldn’t even bench the bar at first. Still weak and fat but you got to start somewhere.

Goals for the start off lax season.

Squat- 255

Bench- 155

Deadlift - 315

waist- Less then 34

Start of the offseason numbers

Squat - 155

Bench - 115

deadlift - 205

Waist- 38

so im doing Joe defrancoes WSB4SB3 program. Its just a westide inspired program geared for athletes. Weighing about 175 now a days. Very fat maybe 22%. Goals by december 17: Get up to a more solid 190, bench 170 squat 225. From there i will reassess and probably cut down to 170 but a clean 170. Anyways just got in the gym yesterday and saw where i was at. If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions feel free to post.

in

don’t know if you are joking or not but i am honored to have you in here. Your progress is very inspirational!

srs bro

So today was off. Didn’t do much but some chores around the house. Resetting my goals. I just want to reach those strength goals and keep my bodyfat in check if not lose some.

I thing i was thinking about today is my conditioning. I am very slow. It is really the only aspect of my game that isn’t above par. My question is if i do 1 speed day a week for a few months, then 2 speed day for another few, and 3 speed days towards the beginning of the season would that be a good way to prepare for the season? My speed days will either be hill sprints, some linear speed training, or pick up games/ one on ones.

Anyways trying not to sweat the small stuff.

diet

1- 3 eggs, salami, cheese, green onion - atleast 40 g’s protein

2- pork, peas and cheese and evoo- atleast 50 g’s protein

3- 2 scoops protein shake, more salami- 60 g’s protein

4- probably a steak or some meatballs and veggies. Need to get around 50 g’s protein in

Hopefully i can get over 200 g’s protein as a total today.

Not really worried about calories as i will adjust if my lifts aren’t going up. I’ll take some progress picture sometime to monitor my fat gain.

Well going to relax some more today and watch some collage lax.

Thanks for looking!

I’ll echo you on not sweating the small stuff. Do whatever you need to kill it.

thanks spar4tee. Last year i got so caught up in the small stuff and i know it hindered my progress. Im just going to follow the program to a T and hope i can make the most of it. Just trying to get stronger and faster in the end.

Off tommorow. Doing some hills.

Bench sounds like it was pretty close. You’ll crush it next time.

Thanks for the kind words brotha. Hopefully getting a plate on bench soon. Not that its impressive but its more of a mental thing i guess.

Did some hills today. I have a very nice one in my back yard that goes incline, flat, then inclines again which would be my driveway. I would estimate its about 60-70 yards maybe. Anyways ran 10 sprints and was about to black out. Will probably shoot for 12 next time.
