Jumps
- Jump Rope Drills
- Lateral Bench Jumps
 
Upperbody
- One hand dumbell standing press

* upperback improved but still not pain free. decided to skip another day of squats to make sure i dont aggravate anything. did some one-hand dumbell press to get blood flowing. i was not able to lift with the left hand without feeling pain if i dont hold another dumbell on my right hand as counter weight. i really messed up a stabilizing muscle somewhere in the upperback were the bar rests on squats.
* jump drills felt good. the lateral bench jumps were all good. did not get a bad rep.

Squats - Maintenance
[135,185x6][225,275x4]

* stopped at 275 paused squats. some stabilizer muscle on my right upper back is still beat. did all the rehab work - massage, contrast bath, extra whey and creatine+glutamine..im still beat. working with fucktard volumes gets you fcuked.. i hate being injured. no chance of any fast speed squats today. even will all the 2+ mins standing with heavy weights, my upperback still gave out on the speed squats. i was hoping my back would have been steel by now. guess all the repetitions of ballistic squats did enough damage.
* on a side note.. my navel orange eating addiction is now replaced with strawberries. cant stop eating it. bought enough for the week and killed all in one movie.

Squats - Maintenance
[135,185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]

#18 Waveloaded Explosive Partial Squats Pinned + Mini Bands
- 325 x4 Pinned
- 275 12x4 + bands
- 405 2x3 Pinned
- 325 8x1 + bands

* my right upperback near the scapula is in pain. i was surprised to be able to pause rep 405x1 even with the discomfort.  i asked the trainer what i was doing wrong and he said - i was not keeping the bar / releasing the bar from my back on the  pinned squat at the bottom and suddenly pushing the weight trying to explode it. very bad idea. if the bar rests on the wrong place on the upperback, somethings gonna hurt. and it did. shit.
* this 18th workout is the 4th week of explosive partials. the 275s were easy now so i moved to 325s + mini bands. keeping the bar rested on my back the whole time on the pinned squat helped a lot. i was able to do my planned workout. did not do full squat volumes because of the back issue. i should be good by saturday. took some spoon fulls of glutamine just in case.
* will now use 325s + bands for speed and a 405 x4 as heavy pinned set. eventually move to 365/385 + bands and a top set of 425/455.  see how it goes.
* no SVJs today. armswing not possible. right arm rotation is very limited. cant even put a shirt properly. at least my knees are still strong even with the high volume partials. pain didnt even get close to it. soreness stays at the mid portion of the VMOs. full squat FTW!

#17 Waveloaded Explosive Partial Squats Pinned + Mini Bands - 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 85 / 90
[135,185 x6][225,275 x2] - Full squat warm up, [325x4][365x2][385x1] - Pinned 1/4 Squat warm up
- 225 12x2
- 275 12x3
- 405 1x5

* no SVJs for today. got beat on the last set of 275x12. 325 and heavier is pinned at 1/4 squat. 225 and 275 with mini bands, no pins.
* pinned and explosive partials felt a lot better today compared to yesterday. IMO, its time to move up to 275. the 225s were fast and easy now. got vid of the 275s. still a little higher but definitely still explosive.

#16 Waveloaded Explosive Partial Squats Pinned + Mini Bands - 50 / 70 / 80 / 85 / 90
[135,185 x12][225x8] - Full squat warmups
- 225 8x2 16x1
- 325 6x2
- 365 4x2
- 385 2x1
- 405 2x1

Jumps
- SVJ 4x1

* the potentiation efffect of the 405 felt very good for the 325s and 225s. my upperback is starting to feel beat up with all the heavy and high rep partial squats. will use a top set of double 405 pinned and do more fast reps on the lighter weight. wednesday - volume also on the top heavy set.

Squats - Maintenance
[135,185,225x6][275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 365 6x1

#15 Explosive Partial Squats Pinned 60
- 275 8x3, 16x1

* i did 65lb 12x2 daily after wed to see if detraining really has a big effect on my workout. i was a little stronger today compared to other workouts coming from a 2 day off. the 405x1 was paused. the 365 was heavy.  maybe i need a little more weight on the daily squats but without a lot of room and a squat cage, i dont think i can clean heavier weights safely. would be nice to be at peak strength on saturdays if i do 135 to 275s daily to minimize de-training.
* i may be really out of shape cardio wise because i was really breathing heavily after each set of paused pinned 1/4s. the concentrics were fast and explosive. weight felt heavy but i was able to throw it up. il probably do 325/ 275+mini bands tmrw. il high rep the 325s and eventually move into 365s.
* almost 16 sessions of explosive partials, and my SVJs got 1.5-2" higher.  wonder how il be jumping if i get to throw 405 like im doing 275s now. weight was heavy but it got up pretty fast

what kind of squat shoes do you recommend/own?

Do they help weight at all or simply form, IE if athlete A squats with these shoes on will be able to handle more weight?

Thinking about getting a pair after spring break or when i get some more cash

if cash is a big issue, id rather spend money on steaks/whey protein/creatine and lift with a 2.5lb plate under your heels. if you can afford whatever, the ironworks are by far the best shoes ive used. simple and just solid.. years of squatting and not a sign of wear and tear.

the nike romaleos are posers. you need a pretty decent squat to justify spending 2x as much for fancy shits. :P

Squats - Volume
[135,185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 385 5x1
- 365 6x4

#14 Waveloaded Explosive Partial Squats with Mini Bands / Heavy Set Pinned - 50/70
- 325 10x2
- 225 16x2

* i was trying to do 385x6 but my i leaned forward too much on the 5th rep. decided to lower the weight to 365 and get more reps without exhausting my back. i could have gone 6+ sets but decided to save some for the speed squats.
* the 325 pinned 1/4 squat with pause at the hole gave me a good cardio workout. i was able to maintain explosiveness in the reps.  it just got too tiring exploding from a 1/4 position coming from rest. the succeeding 225s were quick.

#13 Waveloaded Explosive Partial Squats with Mini Bands / Heavy Set Pinned - 50/90
- 405 2x3
- 225 16x3

Jumps
- SVJ 4x2

* first time SVJ was a little over the black foam. improvement again. the heavy set was pinned at ~ jump amortization height, about 1/4 squat. 405 was explosive even coming from a dead stop. doubles only to get the 225s faster.
* time to move up to 275 and see if i can still hit the same depth as 225s. rest day tmrw and a full squat session on wed. thinking about doing some volumes with 385 to get a little bigger/stronger.

so how do you like the Romaleos?

feels heavier, more solid and sticks to the ground better compared to my ironworks. i wont ditch the ironworks just because of the minor differences.. but it just looks a lot better IMO.

#12 Waveloaded Explosive Partial Squats with Mini Bands - 50/70
[135,185,225x8][275,325x12]
- 325 12x4
- 225 16x2

Jumps
- SVJ 4x1

* SVJ a lot better than last sundays. top of foam on first set.
* 325 partial squats were explosive but ROM is really shortened compared to the 225 sets. more volumes of 325 should improve my ROM.
* mini bands did its job of not letting 225 bounce off my back. felt good also on the eccentrics. glutes torched with the 325s.

Quote from: ADARQUI
i'm pretty sure kingfish has said the same thing, or similar.. you don't get "rebound" in a half squat, sure you have leverage advantage, but you don't get any rebound.. that's a very important and beneficial aspect of half squatting.. it's a raw transition with very little "rebound effect" from the glutes/hams, ie, that big stretch going down or hitting glutes near calfs and just rebounding up.. so ya it makes sense, people who talk shit on half, who go deep, often find half squatting pretty challenging and then they act all surprised.

pc

as i progress with more volume and intensity in my explosive partials.. i find it that you will eventually create your own rebound point and improve on it more and more.. either by using heavier weight or more reps. i felt like was bouncing off something with 225 1/2s and its definetely not from hams/calves contact. muscles start to feel different.

i prefer waveloaded..im only on my 10th workout so theres more progress to be made. ;D
