Another Wednesday and another day late post. Life is catching up with me between soccer, baseball, golf tryouts, etc...near real time updates are hard to do :)
Wednesday's tryout was good and we dodged most of the rain drops too. We were still sensitive of the achillies so we limited the running and jumping. That said we never limit my heart rate. Anthony can always design a workout to maximize movements, heart rates, and cardio. Wednesday we did a 6 station circuit workout. Three stations were with rubber bands, one with cones (for squats), and the last two at the wall with the medicine ball. The circuit was a modified Tabata (20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest) but we did 45 seconds per station for speed without sacrificing technique and a 15 seconds rest between stations; more or less the time to move to the next station and get ready. We did overhead presses, curls, front raises, side raises, tri extensions, incline presses, straight presses in various combos. We would add squats with split cone touches or single leg squats with a cone touch and then to the wall. At the wall we did two different exercises to complete the circuit.
We did 4 circuits if I recall correctly. I liked the medicine ball work, not sure why but it is one of my favorites. Maybe because I know its good for me and its hard. A day of it and the ladder would be great!
My achillies is starting to feel better, far less sore and I think Friday we're giving it a shot at some more active movements. It will have been a week so we'll see.
Until then.

About the Achilles, I'm wondering if it'd be beneficial to do some running on your off days? It seems like your workouts have a lot of short burst type movements which is obviously a strain on the tendon. By running every other day you would strengthen the muscles supporting the Achilles. Just a thought.
