Day 2
Today's Notes:
Today's workout has been videoed. I have yet to decide if this was a good or a bad idea. But like everything else, I tend to do things before I think them through, so here you go:
(Note - you're only seeing one iteration of all the drills. I DID do my work :P I just edited this thing the best I could so it would at least move along quickly... I can't think of any more boring thing to watch while ditching work than this video. But it's quick.)
The Workouts:
(You can read descriptions for all of these exercises here)
Morning Session (drills)
5 x 3-5-7's
5 x lateral zig-zag touch-and-run
5 x 3-way cone drill
5 x shuffle-step (agility ladder)
5 x cariocce step (agility ladder)
2 x lap around field w/ parachute
HOW I FEEL:
Today was HOT. It was 85 degrees when I started, nearly 90 when I stopped. It'll be 102 today (no, not Celsius, you poor, poor Canadian readers).
The parachute? I've seen it in training videos and on ESPN during behind-the-scenes stuff with football training, but I never dreamed it could really screw you as bad as it does. Without it, it's just "Concentrate on breathing. Push. Legs hurt a little. Keep pushing."
With it, it's "JESUS CHRIST, I HATE THIS DAMN PARACHUTE. Keep breathing. NO REALLY, I HATE IT. I WANT TO BURN IT. Legs hurt. SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? THIS SUCKS" and so on.
I am physically sapped. Among all of the little nuances I forgot existed in football training (like, real football training), the biggest was that the sun, when sufficiently motivated, will utterly screw you over.

Evening Session (weights):
I won't be visiting the gym and lifting today.

Joe, are you trying to kill yourself so that you don't have to finish the book? It sure looks like it! :(
I think you should put the parachute on again and take video of yourself jumping off of things (not very high of course)with it.
Haha, no. If I do die, all my old writings will become the next book. If I don't, then this experience will DEFINITELY be in it.
Either way, the publishers win :P
