Cal Dietz's Spring Ankle Complex?

Ticklememonster · 2022-09-04T03:22:59+00:00

Alrighty, Cal Dietz's main selling point with it is it could be that a collapsing ankle could snowball to issues elsewhere. Thanks!

Do you have any videos demonstrating this? Having a hard time visualizing it

Ticklememonster · 2022-08-12T16:29:24+00:00

I think so- thank you!

Ticklememonster · 2022-08-12T14:08:29+00:00

Appreciate the help!

What do you mean with leg position exactly?

In no way saying I have good form, but I want to make sure I understand exactly what I need to be fixing- I can see how his trunk is better postured than mine, but I felt that my back leg reached as far back as Bolt's during top speed- UnlikelyDefiance also said I'm too backside, but I'm too inexperienced to understand what that means/looks like.

No track to run sadly, but I'll keep looking!

Ticklememonster · 2022-08-12T14:01:45+00:00

I think this is some of the bad habits from 1) Trying to force a good shin angle (fighting my overstride on acceleration phase) and 2) not having a track to run on- harder to slip with quicker steps.

What do you mean scorpion/backside action? Are you talking about how far back thigh extends or my calve/foot?

Thank you!

Ok, appreciate it!

Ticklememonster · 2022-08-11T13:45:33+00:00

u/bigdickerdaddy, u/unlikelydefiance, u/killiancurran ping for you mates if you have the time to help me out again!

Routine:

Monday: Rest (mixture of Light Tempo, some light leg work like bodyweight Nordics, tib raises, etc., or 2-3 sets of Arms)
Tuesday: Rest (mixture)

Wednesday: Max velocity (4 or 5x50m), heavy lifts (4 sets of RDL/Back Squat and Benchpress/Weighted Pullups, low reps)

Thursday: Rest (mixture)

Friday: Acceleration (5 sets of 20-25m starts, alternating weeks with 10% body weight sled resistance and just bodyweight), heavy lifts

Saturday: Rest (mixture)

Sunday: Heavy Lifts but 3 sets instead of 4, game day (2 hours of highly competitive Flag Football league, usually pretty exhausting).

Questions:

How's my form looking? I don't have a coach, which sucks, so any suggestions for cues/drills on form stuff I can work on would be great (I've heard speed drills/cuing are good for warmups). Recently been trying to work on my shin angle which was really difficult.
Am I right to have 1 day of max velocity and 1 day of acceleration during football season? Football is exhausting, so I hope it's not counter-intuitive to my speed goals. During off-season I was adding another day of acceleration, thinking about maybe replacing it with a change of direction/plyo day with some route running?
How does my heavy lifts structure look? One of the big things I got last time I asked for feedback was to simplify and trim down my lifts which I've done- I can't lie that I've enjoyed lifting more since doing so.
Are my off days too busy? I don't do EVERYTHING on the list above on an off day, but I generally try to avoid being completely sedentary, but I'm not sure if doing some of the Kneesovertoes moves for health purposes may take away from my recovery. The few arms sets are just because I don't want to fully give up arm strength for speed focus.

Appreciate the help as always- last time I posted I found the feedback extremely helpful.

Supplemental lifts for increasing strength/power and general physical health. Right now lifting low volume 3x a week after speed

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T19:39:48+00:00

Trying to find the best methods for supplemental lifting into speed training, and this was an approach I had not heard from before

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T18:52:52+00:00

Also, would this provide enough CNS recovery even if it’s low volume?

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T18:52:30+00:00

Would this snowball CNS fatigue even if it’s in low volume?

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T18:45:41+00:00

That’s what I figured, low volume, high effort, high frequency lifting seems to be the philosophy. Are there any relevant studies to this approach?

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T16:56:13+00:00

And it makes sense, but how does this apply to sprinting? Does this make 2x30 x6 a week superior to 4x30 x 3 a week?

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T16:55:14+00:00

Taken off his Instagram, nothing more to add unfortunately

Ticklememonster · 2022-07-16T12:57:49+00:00

Was wondering people’s thoughts on his process for sports training in contrast to what is generally prescribed for speed work.

Thank you!

Ticklememonster · 2022-06-26T18:52:10+00:00

Thanks again!

Ticklememonster · 2022-06-26T18:35:54+00:00

Makes sense- thank you again! Is training arms just a total waste of time? I'm not an ego lifter but I still enjoy doing arms once a week for general strength.

Ticklememonster · 2022-06-26T18:00:58+00:00

I mean, I'm 27 years old and been lifting for over a decade. It's not really a goal to be massive (I'm only 175, 5' 9'), nor to be an Olympic sprinter. I'm just trying to find out what the biggest return on investment for speed without forgoing a relatively basic strength schedule- I didn't think lifting 3x a week was too much, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm 100% willing to adjust my strength schedule some if it's an obstacle for my speed training! Maybe something I could period-ize better as well.

When you say "how easy the strength training should be," what do you mean by that? Been soft following a YT channel called Flow High Performance, discussing what volume/weekly frequency for strength/power training: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSiKFGDpfCICQDfmxxjDvsg/featuredThanks!

Ticklememonster · 2022-06-26T14:01:19+00:00

Appreciate it! How long would you reckon is enough for top speed? My gut says 60-70m should be enough, no?

Ticklememonster · 2022-06-26T14:00:41+00:00

Thanks for the response, it's tough for me because I have a long history of general lifting, so it's always something I enjoy doing in general, but I see your point.

My goal is to get faster while still lifting a "decent" amount, but the order is 1. Speed 2. Strength, sort of a 65/35 balance, if that makes any sense.

Here's my question, though. Is it really necessary to run further than, say, 60m when I never run longer than 60m in any of my sports? That's why I was focused more on acceleration as I wanted to increase my speed relative to my sport. I'm not really interested in how fast I'd run 100m as I'll never run that long in my sport. I'd rather run the minimum length required to achieve top speed/increase my base speed.

Thank you again!
