Speed
- 10yd sprints 4x3 2x1
- 18" Depth Jump 8x2 4x1
- SVJ + 3 step VJ x4

* just some light jump drills to get some speed. i feel my ankles starting to get sore. need to build up volume again. not used to impacts of landings. 3-4 weeks of these with volume and intensity cycling will get me jumping good again. will not max on jumps until im done with squat cycle.
* SVJs and 3 step VJs ~ 32-36" touched both palm to the rim. standing 2 hand reach is 90". 30" for both tips of fingers to touch rim, 36" to get both palm at rim level. 38" to get both wrist at rim.

Squats
[185,225 x6][275,325 x4][365x2][385,405 x1]
- 405 +4+3+2
- 365 x2

* BW at gym 192.8lbs. im not going to make 405x4 2-4sets without getting bigger legs (target ~194lb morning weight, 196 gym). i was strong for the 405x4 first set. stronger than last weeks. the 2nd set of 405, 3rd rep was not very hard but i would have burned out badly IMO if i pushed for 4 at this skinny weight.  i will get stronger little by little if i maintain this plan but upping my weight would be easier and faster.
* the 3rd set at 405 really showed me im not big enough to rep it consistently. a 3rd rep would have been an 9-9.5/10 lift. no chance of 4 rep there.
* the paused 365 2nd rep was already a 9/10 lift. 3rd rep would have pinned me.
* change of plan. need to go maintenance on sunday/tuesday while eating a little more carbs. 3cup/day to 3.5 along with more proteins.
* weekly depth jumps and jump drills tomorrow. im not getting DOMd as bad for the last couple of weeks due to low tonnage, im just burning out overall due to too much intensity/effort to make my 405reps. can't really squeeze out too much out of 192lbs.

Jumps
- Jump rope drills, single leg / double leg
- 10 yard sprints  x4 (reps)
- depth jumps 18" / 24" alternate x4-6  <- this is awesome
- SVJs, 3 step VJs

* too much effort keeping track of the sets.. i just do it until i feel like my legs are not explosive anymore.
* waved depth jumps focused on quick transitions and good landing absorption.. not max height.

How much Vitamin S would you recommend per day? Is there an overdose? What are adverse effects?

Squats
[185,225 x6][275,325 x4][365x2][385,405 x1]
- 405 1x1

Jumps
- wave loaded jump squats 55/95 x4-8
- depth jumps 18/24  x2-4
- SVJ + 3 step VJ x2

* 405lb squat not very heavy today. 405x1 a 7.5/10 lift. BW at 194lbs (192.8lb empty). i was at 196-198 on wed-thurs.. probably due to extra liquids. weight stabilized back to 194ish. thought i would be 194in the morning by now with all the steaks i just ate.
* even with a heavier BW, im not able to progress workout to workout on my squat. i would really fight to get 3 reps on 405lb today, probably all out on rep3. either im just not as fresh (work thurs-sat) or i haven't recovered yet from last tuesday squats.  todays x1 is good warmup for tuesday.
* jumps were not so bad. 18/24" depth jumps for 4 weeks now is getting the muscles on top of my knees stiffer. takes more effort to stretch. not doing extra static stretches because a stiffer muscle make jumping at lot easier.
* will attempt 405x4 2-4 sets on tuesday followed by depth jumps 18/24 2-4reps x 8-10sets weds.

^ normal. flexibility is above average. can press upperbody/head on quads on hurdlers stretch.

Squats

Jumps
- Depth Jumps 18" x2-4

* BW getting close to 194lbs in the morning. felt strong but the lifts were harder than usual. i had to start with 135lb today because im stiff. 4 day rest from heavy lifting is very good for recovery but it takes effort to get my legs ready again.
* almost got pinned with rep 4 of 325 paused warmup. lol 365x2 paused was not as bad.
* 405x1 a 8.5-9/10 lift. this is a good sign. the workout following a hard delaod is usually a PR. i did not push for a 405x1 workset because legs were just not firing right today. i would have gotten pinned at 405x3 and 405x2 would be hard.
* today should be a good warmup for tuesdays 405x4 4x4-6sets. 

adarq, thats possible... i got pinned with 135lb yesterday lol
