* planned to stop at 400x1 but had more than 20lbs over it. did 410 and saved the rest for 4pm workout. hopefully i'm still strong later. will go up to 430 max later if i can, or at least a 420-425x1.

* slept after the midday workout and woke up with quad-locked feeling legs. had to lift. could have gotten 420-430lbs. will lift again tmrw morning ~ 4-5am, stop before i fatigue myself too much and go heavy on the midday lift. will only be doing 1x /day lift from thurs-fri due to work schedule. can accumulate some fatigue tmrw.

* did all the ramping warmup paused sets without the safety pins for a bit more motivation. i'm deloading but it still feels bad not to be using 425+ lately.

* did 10 consecutive SVJ 2-hand dunks after the squats. did them all in less than a minute, like conditioning work. squats felt better but still a good 20-30lbs weak.

* right rotator cuff still strained a bit from a dip set that went too ballistic when i was not properly warmed up a week ago. can still do 30x BW dips as long as i don't get into that 1 position where that mini muscle gets irritated. stop doing dips because its been a week already an the thing is still irritating me. can do chins without any issues. can't put seatbelt on - really gets into that position were the strained piece of muscle gets pulled.

Seriously, I am siding with Vag.  Honestly scooby, I haven't been around here as long as you or Vag or many other people, but I ....
I sound like a jackass I know, and who am I to talk?  I can't dunk yet neither.  But still, your journal annoys me.

Hey D4, I would not consider any adarq bro who give me advice as an ass.  I always try to stay positive and take advice.  Trust me, I do listen to wat people says here.  It is because I listen, that I achieved 2x bw squat,  I do depth drop/ jump and max effort jumping all because of adarq etc. 

I am surprised at my weak core as well... I can barely do 1 min of of side plank...
So, now u have an idea... I mean.. I squat day in day out, I am good at it.. and I jump often also now days. but the improvement effect is leveling off... that is y i need some new thing...  isn't this call prioritization?

you achieved a non-consistent, non-explosive /  grinding 2BW single max rep. if you want to do something with 100% proven result - try aiming for 2BW 10+ reps. you might not be able to undo your grinding and slow lifting ways, but trust me - there is no way you cannnot be explosive with a weight (even for 1-2 reps) if you can lift it 10+ times in a row.

at 170lb BW, i can rep 345 10+reps any given day. that will give you decent leg power to push the floor and throw yourself up.

^ typo error there.. just lifted 12:30pm today as a first workout. i get my deep sleep 8am to 2-3pm on work days. on off days, i just sleep post workout 3-4 hrs here and there. edit - yes, i lifted 2:30am on monday.

even with a messed up sleep cycle, i don't have any dark spots below eyes. i get good sleep even if its not the conventional 8+hr straight.

* only squat cage not available. did my squats on the power rack and had to stop at 400x1 because it might get ugly if i get pinned. did more SVJ dunks instead for more speed work.
* happy with how my SVJ is right now at this high 160s BW. i might have lost the strength to pause single 430-440 at this fatigued state but IMO, a few days of prep work and il get to that weight again. i was able to consistently do paused 425s a few weeks back.

I think you should become a bodybuilder, you'd find it a nice change of pace and it might be fun for a while. Do it for 12 weeks then go back to your training feeling nice and fresh and ready to tackle some new PRs.

I actually had something like this in mind. Not BB, but just lifting weights for a couple of months to get my strength up a bit. Ive done this before, but only to throw better. This time it would be for pure strength gains and nothing else. Could be awesome for a period.

if you are not sure what to do, then this is the best thing to keep you busy. remember, strength gains (even with proven methods) take the longest to develop.

nothing is more helpful than getting the backbone of most of the athletic movements stronger while you procrastinate deciding what to do next.

good luck!

* i was very strong last friday (3 days ago), i should be overshooting by now but the strong is not back yet. all the paused lifts i'm doing right now are strict, full and controlled so i won't mention that again. the 400x1 today felt ok but i was already using too much effort to move it.
* i need to get better nutrition. i got good sleep. at this 168-170lb Wet BW, i might need more pre-workout carbs to get myself lifting heavy consistently.

* did some SVJ dunks after the first workout. felt stronger this time but still not +30-40lb stronger. fatigued max right now IMO ~ 410-420.
