^ i am not going to vid myself taking my BP. my caffeine tolerance is higher than ave. 100mg on an empty stomach is not even going to do anything significant.

all these 10-20 reps of either BW calf raises, situps, head-supported rows(favorite), back extension/ghr and chins that i do multiple times a day at home kicks up my heart rate to >100BPM as i do these accessory lifts. thats my cardio.

Week 10 of 12 Day 6
Dynamic warmups - loaded paused rep full squats, continuous sets
[225,275,315+2][365,385+1] 14mins total

Daily Calf Raise Seated Gastrocs- plate loaded 45 deg sled- paused reps top/bottom holds
- 6x45lb x10
- 8x45lb 10,10,20 **

* might have done too much jumping yesterday (did SVJ dunks). legs did not have it this morning. stopped at 385 to regroup and lift better later. i was strong yesterday and instead of going for 425x1, i did more jumping which killed my legs a bit.
* lifted in the other gym with the 45 deg sled for straight leg calf work. i am noticeably stronger now. was able to 20 rep the sled with max weight (sled can take max of 4x45lb each side). these are paused reps at top and bottom. my soleus work later might suck.

* got my 405 again. did not put safety pins for STIM. i was not completely recovered this morning and had to top at 385. this 405 did not give me any problems. >1sec hold at the bottom and boom.. up. done.
* the 45 deg sled is already maxd out so decided to do higher reps as long as i can maintain top and bottom holds/pause. no choppy kipping reps here.
** note to self - do not go apeshit volumes on straight knee calf work without building up to it. now my left VMO has muscle spasms. need to wrap this thing so it heals right.

* this felt a lot better. steak+egg dinner yesterday worked. will go for 405+ later if my muscles feel fuller again. calf work +35lb also if this post workout meal does it job.

even with ~ 1000mg of caffeine daily, i'm still hovering in the low-mid 40s BPM. i'm tracking resting heart rate for fatigue/overtraining and it seems that these quick squat bouts without the backup sets are not tiring me in any way.

* completed the 10x4 of 4x45+25lb on seated calf work. might add more weight again to +35lb next time. daily dynamic stretching with loaded squats (that's what i'l call it now) was not bad. im surprised that it went this fast/easy even though this is the only time i lifted today coming from almost 24hr of rest. last lift was yesterday 4pm.

* might be experiencing some sort of calf growth spurt or newbie gains. the reps were fairly easy, even with the 2x10s of 4x45lb+25lb. the 5x45lb goal appears to be doable sooner than i expected.
* squat routine feels more like some form of dynamic stretching now.

^ focus on lifting form more than anything else. with proper food.rest.sleep, the poundage will always improve. go as low as your flexibilty allows - if its above parallel, work on your flexibility and buy some decent shoes.

do some jumping every now and then but don't get crazy on the plyo/jumping volumes. almost all jump trainess fail here - they get hurt, usually with some form of knee or joint injury of some kind.

here's me at 92" reach (1" shorter than yours) doing my routine jump drills post squats - if you prefer to squat your way to a high 30s/low 40s SVJ.. i took the easy way to jumping high.. squat.jump.lowBF. good luck!

* ate more than the regular amount of carbs this morning post workout - intention was to cleanse stomach from all the meats i ate over the weekend. i had n all-you-can eat brazillian buffet again, from the same place as the week before. espetus. same menu, i ate the same thing with pretty much the same volume. top sirlion, lamb and filet mignon.
* ate kabocha squash, sweet potato and some fruits for cleansing. carb spike made my muscles feel bloated and tight. i was very strong this afternoon. did all the sets without resting - time between sets is only from changing the weights.
* i need to figure out a loading for my calf work that will get me failing at ~ 18-20reps. this 4 set of10 is time consuming. i already workout 2x/day. i want to make the workout as quick as i can.
