Jumps
- SVJ 2-hand dunks

* lift effort: max 430-435, money 425, recovery 420. planned to stop at 420x1 but changed my mind. hit 430x1 without bending torso. technical error from fatigue on right leg - leg is tired, weight shifted a bit on the left leg and i felt more effort coming from left leg to get the rep. will really have to go 420x1 max tmrw if i want to lift better on my days off.

* SVJ 2 hand dunks getting consistent and easy now. BW staying at 170-172lbs. other daily lifts - calf isolation on 45 deg sled, pullups, chins, weighted back extension+situps on GHR. all in mid-high reps with light moderate resistance with 1-2sets

cliff:
low carbs before workout.
high carbs following a workout.

gives you something to think about..

i still follow the most basic.. caloric deficit + lots of protein to lose weight while minimizing muscle loss.. caloric excess to gain weight.

* lift effort: max 450-455, money 445-450, recovery 420-430. did 2 heavy singles today - 430/440. even the 440 didn't feel that heavy. this is the strongest i've lifted a paused 440x1. should have taken vid. didn't really know why i was a lot stronger today. i just came from a monday 440x1. after i repped 430x1 like it was just another 410-420, i knew il blast thru the 440. didn't really want to get three heavy reps today and risk burning out tmrw so i stopped there. tmrw il try to use 430 as recovery singles.
* my SVJs are also higher. on the dunks, the ball hit the ground first before my feet, without me grabbing rim.. i was really pushing it down fast.

Week 4 - 420, 420, 420, 420, 400,

* was only able to sleep 5-6hours in the last 2 days. fatigue is building up. i was able to get the 400x1 but it felt 15-20lbs heavier. my form was solid. no upperback caving in or any technical errors. i did not rush going back to the set. i'm just tired, could also be the pick up games yesterday.  tmrw needs to be another light day, and if i get enough long sleeps on sunday/monday - ill do 440x1 again. im not in a rush going for 445-450. i don't like how the plates look, so il just go 455 after i do enough volumes and get my legs bigger - might try doubles for my 5th week using a max 410x2.. still paused full reps.

Hey Kingfish, just curious why so much rest btw the sets??  Does it help that much more and if so how/why?  I've never tried more than 5-7min btw sets bcs never heard/read anybdy recommend more than that.  What do u do btw sets to stay warm, loose, etc?  Have u got the timings down to a science after lots of experimentation or do u alternate other erx in btw squats?  How long does the workout typically last?

thanks. i rest for as long as i need to get back into the next set feeling fully recovered. i don't do any other exersice during my squat workout other than a few high rep calf isolations using the 45 deg sled after im done with squats.

i don't get cold anymore after i go thru the ramping warmup sets.  if the gym feels cold, il put on my sweat pants. my workout is usually 1.5 - 2.5hrs,

Week 4 - 420, 420, 420, 420

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunks

* the 420x1 was very heavy today. could be because i did not take my time with the rest between 400-420. took only 12-14mins. should have taken 18-22. did quick rest on that because a bball game was about to start. needed to break a sweat so i rushed the last rep. i was not weak on the legs but my mid back caved in midway up and i had to slow down to complete the rep. thats max today.. or another 5lbs, but thats about it.
* SVJs were still good, still getting a few inches below wrist on rim with both hands + ball.

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand rim grabs - paused full squat start / no arm swings

* will use more even numbers on the ramping sets. 420x1 was not very heavy. could have gotten 430-435.  did the rim grabs for explosive work. the plan to lift after work did not happen. i was too sleepy, and workouts following a nap / sleep are usually best. will lift again tmrw afternoon.

^ thanks. less weight is less stress on my knees. i also use paused squats now to really save my joints/tendons from more stress. thats how im managing lifting high frequency using a high RM%.

Week 4 - 420, 420

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunks

* modified the ramping weights to 370,400. the 400x1 felt heavy.. i initially loaded 410 expecting that i might fail 420. took all the time resting for the next single (22 mins?).. then on the walk-in.. changed my mind and loaded 420. got the rep nicely. i had 10-15lbs over it. i could have made 430 today. with that much power over the rep, todays workout should be favoring my recovery.
* i will sleep 1:30-6:30pm today, work 7-8am then lift after work. will hopefully get another 420. explosive drills again after lifting. getting consistent too with my isolated calf work using a 45 deg sled calf raise up to 405lbs.

^ id take a day off when i can no longer recover within 24 hrs and lift at least up to 395-410. my daily squats are not really that taxing.. only 2-3 heavy singles.. 395-410-420/430 max right now.. thats very low volume with lots of rest in between sets, 12-14mins. 18-22 if i make it up to the 420-430lb.

i am not domd at all.
