Jakes 2009/10 cricket season log

[Jakester1288]

So my plan is all works out and I make rep and everything.

Monday: Chest & Arms + Jog
Tuesday: Training
Wednesday: Legs + Swim
Thursday: Jog
Friday: Training
Saturday: Game + Recovery swim
Sunday: Game + Recovery swim

The jogs will increase in length, until I find a length I'm happy with. It's a bit too cold for the swimming at the moment, but that should start soon.

I also will probably fix up my diet, I wish I didn't quit my working out I was doing through the off season. Next off season will be good, I'll be able to do training without worrying about games and everything.

Jake, why do you keep on changing your program around? Also, what's up with not training your shoulders or back?

Also, think about rest days mate, I learnt this the hard way since I was never fresh for my games this year. You adapt to the training stimulus when you REST, not when you train, so you would probably get better gains if you rested more.

I have deadlifts in there somewhere, and I change it because I'm improving it before I start up again. Shoulders are in arms, BTW.

BTW, Thursday was a rest day, but I tried to include a jog or two and a couple of swims. Thursday was the only day free, plus 20-30 minutes of running won't do much harm will it?

 

[Tom M]

Why do it at all? Cricketers really don't need high levels of aerobic capacity, the anaerobic energy system is much more important.

 

[Jakester1288]

Yesterday was rep trials. I was sick, and my bowling was poor. Didn't stop my batting from being excellent, only two possible dismissals, against the under 17s emerging blues spinner, who's 13. Anyway, the coach hinted I'll be batting up the order, like top 4, and I'm stoking. I don't want to open, but he said I might, I don't know whether to have another go at something where my top score is 4, or bat at 3 or 4, crucial positions. Decisions, decisions.

Anyway, I've actually got to make the squad first, which will be in the paper on Wednesday and Sunday.

 

[Jakester1288]

In the rep team, opening the batting for the trial match against Armidale. Become more or less a pure batsman now, and it's great!

Centerwicket practice tomorrow, and nets on Sunday. Good weekend of cricket.

Both for seniors, BTW.

Also, starting up my training program on Monday.

Your packing too many things at once in my opinion. A good cricketer always takes the occasional break once in a while Jake but looking at this thread it seems you won't have a lot of spare time on your hands.

 

[Jakester1288]

Sorry I haven't been bothered to update this about training, occasionally if something out of the ordinary happens at training I might update, but ATM will just stick to matches and whatnot.

Had a miss from training, preparing for peeps coming over tonight. I have been playing with the crazy catch all day though, and we are having fielding training on Friday.

 

[Jakester1288]

Starting back up the program tomorrow.

The week ahead:
Monday - Circuits (jogging, fielding, BW exercises, sprints, etc)
Tuesday - Training
Wednesday - Upper Body & Fielding
Thursday - Lower Body & Fielding
Friday - Training
Weekend - Perhaps a game hopefully if not training or rest.

Might have a school game during the week, will force me to change everything around.

Will one of Jake's friends keep us up to date with his log while he's banned? I'm worried sick about whether he's keeping up with his training regime.

Haha! Just been training, nothing I would have updated really anyway.

I'll be missing the first match thanks to a ****ing holiday. FML.

 

[Jakester1288]

I would have played the first game of the season on Saturday, but I was on holidays. I might get to play this week, I think the team is 7/80 chasing 150, hopefully I can come in and save the team (yeah right, in my first bat of the season).

 

[andyc]

You can play in the second week even if you didn't play in the first? Doesn't seem right.

 

[Jakester1288]

Not usually. I couldn't play, so we got a replacement. If the replacement is unavailable, I can play. He has first priority, if he is good to go, he plays.

Just putting in my 2 cents. I don't think you should be doing any gym work at 13. The odd run and shuttles and that sort of thing is good, but I'd be very hesitant to have you on a weights program.

The cricket training is good though.

 

[Jakester1288]

What about 14?

What is wrong with weights, mate. A little bulk is fine for cricket, and can also improve your cricket, as long as you don't get to addicted to bodybuilding.
