You never really find out about what sentences players get except in the big cases where players get suspended for years at a time. We get told to leave as soon as we have given our evidence....

Thursday 1st April 2010
Refereed SG Ball at 7:30pm. Night game was a nice change to the heat that we have been getting during the day time for weekend games. Felt very strong physically in a one sided game.

Friday 2nd April 2010
Good Friday
21-15-9
tyre flips
200m run
burpees
200m run
Time: 11mins 23 sec

A really tough workout that jacked the heart rate a bit more than most. Tyre flips were the limiting factor i was pretty happy with both running speed and burpees today.

Skipping, General ROM and pullups

WOD
5-5-5-5-5 Weighted kipping pullups
20-25-30-40(f)-35

Got 3 and a half reps out at 40kg and reckon i would have got it if i had of gone for it a bit earlier. Really happy with burpee time but it was not fun. Would love to go under 2mins would just have to go quicker at the end.

Time to resurrect the old training log which has taken a back seat while i was focusing on footy. Have spent the last week just ramping up and working on form using the Starting Strength Template. Am going to use the Starting Strength protocol until I stall out before moving onto 5-3-1 program or some Oly work. Both programs should fit with my other training. Am happy to sacrifice a little bit of Metcon for now while i focus on strength... it is likely I will only be running touch lines for a couple of weeks anyway which should be good for recovery.

Monday 17th May 2010
Light Warm Up and General ROM before doing warm ups sets for Squats

Work Sets
3x5 Squat @ 80kg
3x5 Bench @ 65kg
1x5 Deadlift @120kg

Short Metcon
5-4-3-2-1 of:
Pullups
Box jumps
Deadlifts
Followed by 300m Row
Time: 4 mins 7 sec.

First real workout in linear progressions plan i have for about the next 2 months. Threw in a short Metcon at the end with a focus on exercises that would work the grip a fair bit before jumping on the rower. Was nice and short and will aim to keep any Metcons well under 10mins if at all as i wil get plenty of stimulus from Refs training and recovery will likely be the limiting factor to my strength development.

Out of curiousity Lawrence, with all the metcon that referee training will provide, why are you still doing it at home?

Yeh good call Tommy. I guess the only reason is that usually (last night excluded) The Metabolic work with refereeing is single domain ie all running. This is beneficial because it is specific to the sport but detrimental because i find that so much training in one domain leads to adaptation only within that domain and it is easy to plateau.Also constantly training the running muscles leads to tightness in the same areas. By throwing in short Metcons like Mondays the hope is that i will be working the same pathways but different muscle groups and across a broader range so that i have a balanced fitness that reduces the risk of injury.
Having said that, i am very aware that too much of this will severely affect strength gains/recovery so it is the first thing to go if or when i feel tired. The short metcon from the other night was selected primarily to fatigue my grip before an effort on the rower hence the pullups and deadlifts. It was also planned with the assumption that training last night would be sprints and so therfore a fatigued upper body would not be that detrimental. As it turned out it was raining so we switched to the gym and it was nearly all upper body and posterior chain which is less than ideal. Suffice it to say today's session will be only Squats, Press and Powercleans with a good stretch and roll on the football. Thursday's training is likely to be skill based (ref skills)and not too high in intensity so should serve as a fairly good recovery. Additionally i will only be running touch lines on the weekends for now which takes a far lower toll on recovery than refereeing.
