The hell is this? I'm sorry if I might seem harsh in these next few sentences, but it does say LOG... You posted two, two words! Please elaborate if you want to be taken seriously.

That's not really progress dude, the way a log works is you plan out your goals then build a workout to match them and write your workout, feeling about it, progress, injuries, etc. it's not just writing Speed vault, Tic Tac, QM, etc. Do you have a workout plan?

Oh and by the way, welcome to the boards :)

So far my philosophy breaks training up into three parts:

1) Strength: Grip, Jumps, Pullups - Muscular force.
2) Technique: Lands, Rolls, Jump form ect.
3) Application: Movement

The combining of strength and technique is movement.
There is no Complete Isolation [stregnth or tech], but the prime focus is on the desired quality.

Mondays for Stregnth, Thursdays for Tech, Friday/Saturday for Movement.

Considering that I am a cyclist [about 21+hours/week] this works for me.

So you want better grip strength and better technique on your landing, rolls, and broad jump?

Also, what do you mean by muscular force?

As in the pure force of ones muscles, the force created when one jumps, latches, muscles up ect.
Trained in the weight room.

Well that's power, for the explosive stuff like jumping, and strength, for stuff like weighted pullups and barbell squats.

I think the move to be force- when doing squats for jumps, or pullups for muscle ups; I do them at a medium speed, not really explosively.
This is because this area of fitness may also include static workouts.
I like to define it in this way because I have an easier time seting up a schuedle.

Example:
Doing Weighted Squats at a medium speed, to build ones Usable Force generated in the quads, calfs, lower back ect. [Force]

Doing Jump Technique drills, at a faster (but not explosive) speed; without or with negative weight, to get jump technique down.
Jump tech may also include precision, one foot ect; as long as the [Tech] workout is of a specific area.

Then later applying both fields in Movement, this time explosively and usefully, as in a very far precision. [Movement]
Normally tech would come first; fatigue is not good when training form.


Another example would be doing Tech drills on individual parts of moves as, well, my personal muscle up:
Pull ups to the chest, Leg Press, Australian Pull up, Dip.
I would catorgorize this as Force. They are done at a slow to medium pace.

Then, putting the technique together on a machine that assists your weight to make higher reps possible:
Pull up, kick foward to gain leverage, Austrailian pull yourself back to the wall while seting yourself up for a dip.
I would categorize this as Tech, which is done at a medium to fast pace. One must know not to be explosive at this stage, but deliberate.

Later when puting the two together, I would do it explosively and practically.

Thus we have movement.
