Today I played like a boss. I think mentally bein relaxed is key. It was like everyone else was playin at a lower gear, I felt like I was at the playground.

Anyone else who experienced this, pls share Ur exp haah.

Then I sprained my ankle.
The last time I sprained my ankle was dec 2010, and it still bugs me now, a year and then some.

Not sure how long this will take. Mudder farker.


I wouldn't say relaxed. I'd say keeping calm is the key, imo. There's a bit of a difference.

i never believed the argumet that there were people sprinting faster barefoot than anyone does today with spikes on a track. would have to study the footpsrints myself to come to a conclusion

however, there is definitely truth to some ideas. It is true that sperm counts are decreasing, and fertility is lower and lower. The male standards for fertility set by the WHO have also decreased since so many fail to meet the standards. here's a very short documentary on it. linking this entirely to BPA and other endocrine disruptors, it's probably a combinatin of things not all chemicals

if anyone cares i've switched over to the conventional deadlift. currently my bests are 330x7 and 340x6. I will be attempting 350x5 next week.

I also do back extensions twice a week. On one day, I do 3x8 with heavier weight, and on the other day, 4x15 with lighter weight.

RDL is a great assistance exercise but it's not measurable which it seems you a realizing is a major weakness.  Deadlifting may not be as specific for jumping and may be dangerous (if performed stupidly IMHO) but it's actually one of the most measurable exercises there is.  In fact, it's the first test of strength our old strength coach used when evaluating athletes because it's there are no depth issues like in the squat and even with poor form is a decent indicator of whole body strength.

My only advice would be not to treat deadlifting like squat (ie with rep/set/ranges).  While you can train your recovery abilities to the point where you can squat daily.... that's really asking for trouble with the deadlift.  I increased my deadlift from 405 to 540 in about 6 months using heavy singles sparingly (every one to two weeks) and back off sets of RDL/Stiff legged deadlifts.   Good luck.

Thank you very much. I agree with everything in this post. In addition, I only deadlift once a week. In fact, I only do one heavy set a week. No 3x5 or anything like that, just ramping up to a top set and I still make great progress with it.

mental state: hapy positive, vibrating, attractive. feel amaing. working as a personal trainer again I think is forcing me to be friendlier too which is carrying over to like the gym even where I am working on hitting on sexy ladies, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take brah.

physical: legs feel purty fresh, my spring feel fine. hamstrings want it. i could squat.. but i'mgoing to give my adrenals a rest, want to move around though so some low intensity jogging some skipping some playing etc.

went to eh park, took a friend through a workout (sprints, 30m all out, pushups and step ups for her weak ass inacivated quads), and just jogged some of that time, shuffled side to side, had fun etc.

1. pullups, 2 sets unweighted,
then 25lbs chinups 1/2 way (more like 3/4), wanted to hit biceps more but the amortization at the angle i was at, about 120degrees Id say hit my lats and triceps and back of my arms even harder. I think i'd need to work the top third heavy if I wanted to hit my biceps even more.

wowzer amazing.

2. hamstrings hyperextensions single leg

12lbs med ball 3 sets of 3

in between
a. rows 110lbs, like 4 reps, not all fll ROM
b. close stance pushups on fists, pretty fast, fists beneath pecs. interesting feel. i'm too fit now for any of this shit to hit my lungs that hard.. kinda unfortunate actually cuz i have to work harder and I don't want to. lol. the pushups felt awesome wow. i thin i may feel this slightly in my lungs tomorrow.

almost bounded after on the turf. barefoot boundin gon the grass feels different and more coordinated for me than on the track... but i had to cathc a bus so i decided not to. and I am trying not to but i may only do barefoot turf/grass sessions.

17.5 kg for the jumpsquats?

Not using a barbell huh?

Nope, used one of those premade barbells that have set weights. It's good because I can go hide somewhere with it while I do them, everyone looks at you like you're a freak if you do jump squats in the rack  Huh?. I have never seen anyone else at my gym do the stuff I do so I get some funny looks sometimes.

Yeah but isn't the form breakdown much more negative than what you get due to the added ROM?

That is why ~2" or less is recommended. I actually like the way the movement feels and feel more solid than in a regular deadlift due to it being a more Squat/Quad involved movement. The added ROM comes entirely from increased knee flexion, trunk flexion may actually descrease slightly, unlike what happens in a Snatch-grip deadlift.
