* time to back off again from the heavy smith calf raises. the 405x1 was as explosive and smooth as yesterday but the 435x1 was too heavy today. did not really got to fight it much. just gave it to the pins and reloaded with 425s. no back off and no smiths. too bad because i actually felt strong today.. strong enough not to put the pins.. good thing i was being safe and put it there for the 435 top set.

* will all these 765lb heavy calf raises, IMO - my torso should not be bending with this little 435lb. did the 315-365-405 warmup ramping but really focused on keeping a solid mid-upper back. i try to put myself in the same form as if i was lifting the 765s and i subconsciously "pre-bend" my mid back, and hold this position through out the 435 paused rep. worked really well. did not even slow down. just a smooth and explosive concentric.
* i don't really know how it worked but keeping my mid-back in a tight but already "bent" position and keeping that form solid is a safer/more effective form than trying to maintain an almost upright form and then giving the back a bit more momentum when it eventually goes to that "bent" position halfway up.. when the bar gets that little momentum, the bend gets uglier anyway. id like the idea of just starting with my own bend angle and just keeping that all thru out that heavy single. does not work the same with <405.. the weight is not enough to bend me.

* my form did not stand up against the 435 today. midway up, concentric was not strong/explosive enough and the torso leaked energy. still got the  rep but will most likely get pinned tmrw if i stupidly use the same weight again. today is as strong as i can get myself- 10-12hr total sleep time with 6.3.2.2hr interval naps, strong diet too. creatine/caffeine loaded. BW 186lb.
* will go with 315-345-385-425 tmrw with 405 back ups. IMO, the 405 backup clusters might be too heavy at this time. i do those singles with sub 60 sec resets. i also got consistent 405 doubles a few days ago. will go 405 singles only.
* smith calfs were pretty strong coming from a skipped day. could have gotten x4 x3 but did not want to drain myself too much.

* skipped the heavy smith calf raises to favor the squats. i'm not making any noticeable progress with the 765s anyway. back off from that and do more high rep leg press in the mean time.
* the 435 felt a bit heavier today than yesterday but still not a grinder. smooth and no form breakdown on the concentric. i got everything going for a strong lift but the 10-11am schedule probably threw me off a bit. this is my sleep time.
* i will get the 435x1 again tmrw afternoon ~ 4pm after this long break. i have no chance to vid as this 24hr gym is too packed and most people look at the squat rack when i'm doing my routine.

* got everything done to come strong for this afternoon... BW could be improved a bit but after taking all the pre-workout liquids, i'm probably at wet 186lb already. did 315-365-405-435-405s
* the 365 still felt light. as the third single, the 405 felt noticeably heavier than the 385 i've been used to. changed my mind and reset the bar inside the squat rack and put the pins on. didn't matter, the 435 went up convincingly without any form breakdown or noticeable slowing midway up. i can get this again tmrw. was not able to vid as the gym was packed at this saturday afternoon. not really worried about it as this is really a daily repeatable for me.
* il probably stick to this top 435x1 for some time until i can get multiple reps on 425s. don't want to use 440 - it does not end in 5, lol. il build up the 405-425 back ups and go boss mode to 455 in a few months as my BW also improves to high 180s.

* lifted at home because of limited time in the morning. had to sleep more to adjust to this day shift schedule. i ordered squat stands (valor db-8 model) a few days back and used it for the 315s. i'm feeling disoriented - slepping at night time too much. sleep pattern sucks now but as long as i get my sleep, i should be stronger later.

* 425x1 strong but quickly got tired after the first 405. cannot get multiple 400lb+ daily at this twig weight. need to be at boss levels soon.. 186-188lb and eventually end up at the low-mid 190s lean.
* calf was really swollen after the 585x20. 585lb felt so light on my back after the 765s. stopped for a few seconds at 10reps to reset and get more explosiveness. i don't muscle up a weight. the initial push should be quick and strong, otherwise i stop the set and wait for another strong cluster a few seconds after.

* BW not at 186 yet. 385 felt very explosive and a 435 would have been possible the way the 425 concentric went up smoothly and explosively. not mentally prepared to use 435 daily if i'm not at least 186-188lb big. i might not recover on a daily basis if i overexert myself. did 405 doubles instead and was able to get 2 back up paused sets. slowly but surely adding weight to the bar.
* i'm on a day shift schedule for this and next week. i might not fatigue on the fri-sat as my sleep time will be consistent. need to do more doubles of the 405s and eat strong afterwards. the 765 calf raises is getting to be routine too. no issues here and nothing tiring/hurting. il keep it like this and add more leg press x20s when im feeling stronger.

So, it's like- to get high vert, you have to get stronger - to say it simple, is that right?
But what would you do if you had no access to gym/heavy weights?
Like myself - only have 50kg

find a good flight of stairs and climb up while skipping as much steps as you can. go down plantar flexed with minimal heel contact and as quiet as you can. do again until you are not explosive enough. rest and repeat.

better than any stationary 1-legged lunge as there is a motivation here to be explosive on every step. lack of good explosiveness = battle scars on the trailing shin

to answer your PM, here's how i built my Standing Jump:

■ access if you are fit to train? - GPP, BF%, flexibility.. etc.

■ get strong and full squat 2BW multiple times with good form.

■ express your strength in whatever movement you want by doing repetitions of that movement.



for the average 5'10 to 6'2, repeatable full of squat 300lb is usually a standing 30, 365=36"..




here's my repeatable high 30s.. my daily full squat are at low 400s.

* did the squats outside the rack. 3rd work night and supposed to be a weak day for me. the 45-90min midnight nap between the workouts is working well. this is consecutive day #6 for the 425s at BW 182-184ish. i can move the 435 on days like this. even a 3rd paused rep of 385 was possible.
* i'l go for 186BW for Quarter1 2013 and hopefully still get a 435-445 daily top single. 455 at 188BW by Q1-Q2.
