Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Raptor's log

« on: September 27, 2023, 02:35:16 am »

Leg day:

Low bar squat:

20x5x2
60x5
80x3
100x2
110x1
100x4,3,3

Dumbbell BSS:

10x8,6

Bodyweight: 94 kg

Comments:

First time squatting over 100 kg in 8 years. The dumbbell Bulgarian split squats were surprisingly difficult, although they did come right after squats so I was already tired. Vert is in the ~24 inch range, but I'm not trying to jump at this weight since it's pretty dangerous and my right knee is acting up.

PS. It would've been nice to still be able to use my old log and read through it.

One of my friends who is an Olympic high jumper used to jump like that. I would look like that.

He just got suspended for doping, at the Rio Olympics

Maybe it's not someone prescribing it, just her own stubbornness and obsession. Who knows? Probably that.

In a way, it might be the other way around, since you use more weight - there's a bigger chance that one of the smaller muscles gets overwhelmed and messes up your form/compromises stability.

My train of thought was more weight = quicker gains, like in deadlifting. Or compare benching to shoulder pressing.

Well, it's hard to pinpoint the ratio of weight/gains, since there are other parameters at work. Maybe you don't hit the same depth all the time, maybe you're limited by this or that muscle that adapts over time when your protagonists don't etc. Who knows? My brain is too destroyed to think about it.
