Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps - Deloading
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,420,425x1]

* got plenty over the 400x1, decided to try 420. same thing. end up going all the way to 425 and stopped there. have enough to do 430-435 with strict pause.

yeah i've been meaning to ask -- what is your non-squat/assistance work like? i know you've done back extensions (or reverse hypers?) in the past but what else?

mostly daily:
back extensions - 135-180lbs 12-20 reps
dips - 30 BW
chins  - 18-20 BW
head supported barbell rows, underhand grip - 12-20reps low-mid 100#
GHR situps - 20BW, 10-16 weighted ~ 30lb

when the reps go down due to fatigue accumulation, i just back off a bit and go at it again when it start to feel good. i used to dip 90# x10-12 but that is just too much stress on my shoulders. not doing those again. just high rep BW to get the blood flowing everywhere and spread the creatine/protein overload. lol

were you turning heads in that new gym or what

usually, i hear a WTF comment when i pause rep 400+lbs without even making a war cry or anything.. i don't really stim myself too much right now, it feels very routine after i've been doing the lifts multiple times a day, daily.

Look's like the new 24hr gym near Northgate mall.  Trained there while on christmas holiday.  Don't drop weights there, they are very sensitive about it!  I'll be in South San Fran in a couple weeks for interviews and needing a place to train.

yes. the bball court also has a big sign - no dunking. oh well. i really plan to not jump much but i'l be here til sunday. need to jump at least tmrw or saturday. can't deload that long. i'l smash that rim early in the morning when nobody is there.

the supersport 24hr fitness is ~ 15min south of SSF.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,415x1]

* i got my 3hr pre-workout sleep + a pre-work out sub max lift in the morning. only got enough strength to do a strict paused lift with 415x1. i will need to back off a bit now on the SVJs and let my legs catch up. i am dunking too much.. 8-10reps 2x a day lately.  and those SVJs are clustered together. within a minute most of the time.

[200,250x4][300x2][350,400x1]

* feeling weak after the strong 400x1. need more BW. high 160s is not cutting it for me, or it could be the 6+hr sleep, or the work nights. will only lift 1x today. recovery and diet needs to catch up

[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,415,420x1]

* felt good using 415x1 as another warmup single to start the day. the 420x1 was also easy. could have gotten 425 after the 420 but saved it for the 2nd workout. BW now at 168s. need to eat some more to keep up with the 2-3x/day lifting and speed work.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,415x1]

* wet BW was 168. damn. twig mode. lifts were not so bad but i probably used up more than i had to on the first workout. form was perfect. sleep was complete. leg fatigue too much right now. need to back off a bit.
* even with the weak squat numbers, my SVJ is just peaking right now. i just did 8 SVJ 2-hand dunks in less than a minute. 1 was even a back to back because i was able to get the ball right away ~ less than 4 secs in between.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,415x1]

* after a perfect 3hr pre-workout nap, i'm now pretty sure that the supra max 500s waveloaded lifts i did a couple of days back dished out some fatigue that needs more than a days worth of sleep. the 400x1 was still easy but it just did not feel as easy as usual.
* might be a stupid idea but i thought that i may just not be mentally into the workout.. so i did not put the safety pins on for my 415x1 paused rep and made sure i will ballistically push the weight up. worked but still not convincingly strong. stopped there.

* i'm back to strong but will not go supra max 1/2s yet. will do it tmrw. BW at 168-170. SVJ 2-hand dunks consistent now straight from the squat rack. no running or pickup games.
