Video from yesterday's session - main squat and clean deadlift work sets getting back into some squatting after a 3 month break due to left knee injurry. Plus I had some really tight rectus femoris (mid quad msucle), which was causing issue with both knees, which a lot of Bulgarian split squat stretches (rear knee on floor) has fixed Anyway my current goal is to work my squat up to the point where 455lbs is in the bag. Around 335x7 paused reps, 275x15, 405x5 etc So a 275lb powerclean with a ... Views: 414 |

Went to the rec on a couple days rest since my last DE day. It took FOREVER to get warmed up, so my camera died when I was just getting going. I got some decent dunks/jumps in, but I was more explosive a couple days ago. Still, it felt good to get something on video. I'm still ironing out technique with a right-left plant, but I've definitely made progress since my last video even though I haven't practiced jumping that much. My current training routine is scheduled around two days of ... Views: 1,544 |

I did 2 sets of 5 with 365lbs, but I had the camera in the wrong mode and it didn't record my 2nd set :( I paused the first rep too long again like last week! And the bar also hit the safety pin at the bottom of the 5th rep. If those 2 things didn't happen I might have had enough ... Views: 574 |

Since then, I've gained alot of muscle and strength. The low bar squat is my default squat form, since it works the body more completely and allows larger weights than a higher bar placement.

Even after some rack pulls and gms, I still made progress, 275lbs still feels pretty hard, but the 9th rep on the initial set felt easier than the 7th rep in the last workout. Could have pushed out 11 reps, and 10 to make it feel like last workout's 7 reps, but I wanted a bigger buffer from failure 275x11 = 385lb 1RM, good enough for a 30 inch vertical and a 225lb high catch powerclean.

Warm Ups didn't exactly feel all that easy, so I thought, maybe it's a good idea to continue deloading, but when I did 255x2, it feel easy enough, so I decided to start my new training cycle today and push hard again. Holy crap!! I was only expecting to get maybe 15 reps or something, but 17 reps non-stop like a piston with zero rest between reps! Had 1 rep in the tank at least. The mini-sets afterwards weren't that hard as well, at least i didn't have to grind any up. Damn, it looks like my ... Views: 143 |

Felt pretty strong on squats today, the warmup sets especially feeling much lighter. Well I did take an 8 day break from squats, which may have given my body some breathing space to improve the vertical, but I did deadlift and goodmorning 3 days ago. So may have detrained a little, and I also used a narrower stance which made it feel a little harder. But I used a different straighter bar today and it felt much more stable on my back, especially on the mini-sets. I can imagine this helping a ... Views: 227 |

I knew I was in trouble when 335 single in the warmups felt really hard. Plus my blood sugar dropped halfway through the warmups, which doesn't exactly help!

So progressed has stalled as far as neural adaption from squatting again. 1RM remains at around 365lbs, about 1.8xbw Did a Myo-reps rest pause set on the 2nd one. 30-40secs rest between each mini-set. And boy was it tough, in a mental way! This is by far the hardest way to exercise yet, a bit like 20 rep breathing squats... but if the results are there, I'm keen and willing. Better doing a lot of normal sets and reps IMO as ... Views: 321 |

Warmup sets up to 255lbs felt heavy on my back. Then I switched to a thumb-less grip from 285lbs onwards and it felt a lot better. I had to widen my grip a little, but it felt a lot more stable and tight on my back, and much more comfortable on my shoulders, forearms and wrists. Especially on the 335lb mini-sets. Seemed to feel a lot lighter on my back I think. So I didn't even bother to do my usual 3 secs support before starting my main work set! Powered up 335lbs for 7 reps on initial set ... Views: 348 |
