BW: 158.2lbs

Ankle still messed up, but it is getting better by the day.  Maybe I should have rested it, but I am scared of not at least maintaining my squat so I went to go work out anyway.  Ankle hurts when I squat down, so I had to switch it up to a much wider stance with toes pointing way out.  Looked retarded.

Squat:
Bar x 8
135 x 5
185 x 4
225 x 1 <-- This is when I realized, I am not used to this particular stance so I am very weak in this position.  Barely squeezed out this 1 rep lol, so I brought the weight down.
185 x 5
185 x 5

Hyper's:
45lbs  - 5x12

Leg Raises:
25lbs - 5x8

Paranoid that my weak squat workout will not help me maintain my squat til next Monday when I'm sure I'll be good to go by, I did some extra lower body isolation exercises.

Leg Curls:
100lbs - 3x8

Leg Extensions:
250lbs - 3x8

The glute exercises (IDK name):
100lbs - 3x10

Also did some heavy calf raises negatives on my injured ankle.  Felt really good.

BW: 158.6lbs  (ate heavy stuff with lots of water right before)

Squat:
Bar x 10
95 x 8
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 1 <-- 10 times, resting 30-60seconds between "sets"
135 x 20 <-- MEBM

I felt like since I'm only squatting once a week, I need more volume, and this routine can give me hypertrophy/volume + high intensity CNS stuff.  I have been in a total rut and regress in terms of squatting in the past 4 weeks, I thought a new routine was in order since it worked last time. 

Leg Raises:
25lbs - 8 8 8 8 6

Some ankle rehab work.

Over the weekend, I weighed my self after my morning piss and I was 153.0lbs!  You can clearly see fat loss all over my body as well.  Diet is slow and steady, but at least it's working this time.

Interesting choice ^^^ of squatting... a sort of MSEM + MBEM... I wonder what results you'll get.

How tired were you after the 1x10?

At least I don't feel too tired, but the 20 reps of 135lbs is a struggle afterwards lol.

That's exactly what my plan was/is for training (squatting, benching etc) - rest pause + MBEM.

That's exactly what my plan was/is for training (squatting, benching etc) - rest pause + MBEM.

This method is also pretty fun.

I'm going to stop my low carb/low caloric diet in 2 weeks.  By then, my goal is to be a good 145-150lbs (empty, after morning piss) and from there I'll just recomposition my body and get leaner while staying relatively the same weight.  I feel like 145-150lbs at 5'8"/5'9" is good for single leg jumping.  Before when I was 157-160, it was probably slightly too heavy.

That will become 10 straight weeks of dieting... Probably a little too long of a duration.  At least by then, I'll be able to focus on my strength gains more again by eating more.

Goal achievement order prediction:
Bench, Pull Ups, Squat, Dunk, 8% Body Fat
