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

* feeling strong this morning. got plenty over the 400x1. happy because this is after almost 15hrs from the previous squat. i'm out of town right now - in seattle. found a super sport 24hr fitness and the facility is fairly new. first time i've seen and used a squat cage with a pull up attachment specific to rock climbers.. the rock looking thing. felt good using it.
*  these 2-3x a day squat with 400 singles and the higher volume SVJs are thinning me out. my diet is the same. my jumps have improved by at least 1-1.5" with the 2lbs of mostly fat IMO that i've lost.

i'm getting very learn right now ~ 168 average for almost 2 weeks, 166 lowest dry BW. tricep is looking Boss without fat. i don't even bodybuild. just 30 BW dips/workout up to 34-36 max with strict form. no kipping crap.

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

* no post squat jumping or speed work. got a bit more over the 400x1 compared to previous workout but still not enough to go try 415-420. 425 is not happening until i skip the jumps for a few more days.

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

* legs fatigued coming from high volume SVJ dunks. not very happy feeling this weak but at the time of the SVJ dunks, i did not care if the 400s become very heavy.

* getting some strength back. would be happy if i can go 425+ later. need to stop dunking too much. just enough jumps to get speed going. its addicting sometimes and hard to stop smashing the rim.

* got something over the 400x1 but still doesn't feel that il get a clean 425. stopped at 400 to get more recovery. skipped the jumps.


pic of goriila hands - too much dunking lately

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

* did 2x 400x1 because i don't feel like lifting anything heavier and tiring myself before work, but the single 400x1 did not cut it.  pause was strict and concentric was explosive.

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

* after a 3.5hr nap, legs felt explosive and ready for another set of squats (or i thought). the explosiveness of the quads quickly died out after the 250x4 reps. lol. i overdid the speed work on the SVJ dunks. 350x1 was still from a complete and strict pause but i lost all the motivation to lift more after that rep. first time in a while a sub 400 weight felt heavy on the legs. 350 is a doable 20rep breathing- squat weight for me on a strong day.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,415,420x1]

* work night starts. taking it lightly. recovered nicely with the 5hr sleep. will go thru 415-420 for first lifts of the day or after 10+ hrs of nonlifting to get better coordination.

^ i was a 5'10 PF/Center back in highschool imitating the moves of sir charles barkeley. i unathletically crab dribbled my way against lighter defenders.. good cardio conditioning with endurance cycling helped me more. i was outrunning smaller people just like my idol.

i don't jump over people. i box out and wait for the ball to come to me. strong legs that get you jumping high also makes you hard to unplant once you decide you want to be at that space..

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

* got 5 hr sleep, felt a lot better. 400x1 paused was easy but as a first lift of the day - i stopped there. coordination did not feel very smooth.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused + Waveloaded
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]
- 455,475x1
- [500x1 + 455x2] x2

* this is more like it. i'm sleep recovered now. went all the way to 500x1 paused rep 1/2 then waveloaded down to 455x2. the 455x2 that followed felt very easy and explosive. i really emphasized on the pause on the 1/2 depth then 1 big explosion to drive the bar up. stopped at 2 waveloads as i plan to do these daily too.
* my chest is getting ripped. need to stop doing BW dips at the workouts. i'm doing controlled single sets of reps to 30, 34 max with non-moving lowerbody, 36 and the legs start to do its own thing.
* ditched the seated cable rows for head supported barbel rows at home. feels a lot more comfortable and i can really focus on beefing up the middle back.
* might lift again later.

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

* got 1.5hr nap. was trying to gauge how a heavy supra max workout affects the next. it got me tired a bit but not too much that id regress. the 400x1 was easy just like any other day when i'm firing right and get my pre workout sleep. would have gotten 425x1 too. did not bother pushing too much.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]
- 455,475,500x1
- 525x0
- 345x1 FS

* slept 5.5hrs after work which is perfect before a workout (but most likely suck the rest of the day from lack of complete sleep). will skip 2nd lift if i'm mentally fatigued later.
* lowerback is really solid now. got 20-30lbs over the paused 425x1. tried the 525x1 supra 1/2 (3xBW) and held the bottom 1/2 paused to see if i can control the weight. i can use 525 on my non-work days. its not prohibitively heavy. i just did not have the drive to concentric this weight today because its my work night and i will not get a post workout nap.
* i was able to fight and hold the 1/2 depth pause with 525 and everything was still solid. no shaking or any signs of the weight overpowering me. i probably can still get to mid 500s without having troubles with the setup. will use 525x1 max waveloaded with 455.
