20 February 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~195
Injuries/aches : some upper back strain bugging all day , no bugging at workout though.
Soreness : chest&lats , ~2/5


Explosive lower workout.

HANG POWER CLEAN:
3@110 lbs ( same )
3@121 lbs ( same )
3@121 lbs ( same )
3@132lbs ( +1 rep ) , edit : ties all time
-Much improved form/explosiveness and finally got all 3 reps @ 132.

EXPLOSIVE SQUATS :
2x3@198 lbs ( same )
2x3@209 lbs ( +11 lbs )
2x3@220 lbs ( +22 lbs )
-Depth steady at barely above parallel.
-Ramped from ~80% to ~90% 1RM full squat , trying to find optimal weight. No big differences actually , probably should load more. I will keep adding weight while maintaining depth, until i lose explosiveness.

RDLs:
8@198 lbs ( same )
8@220 lbs ( same )
7@253 lbs ( +11 lbs ) , ( +1 rep ) ,  
-220 felt way too easy so i went for a PR and nailed it. Lost grip so didn't do 8 though. Previous PR 8x242.

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
3x8@209
-Getting too easy , might go to 4x8 next time.

5@225,5 lbs ( +11lbs )

-1st set@225,5 was parallel. Got too greedy and tried a second one , was a bit higher so backed off.

Shaq is 7'1''  , so it's not special that he is able to dunk.
Still , an ingame dunk over Dwight Howard qualifies for the thread.

This has been reposted somewhere but too bored to find it...

No surprise i opened such a thread
No joke though , love seeing 'old' players still banging the rim...

Edit:
My original idea about this thread is videos of 35+ year old pros. Some everyday freaks should qualify too though but they have to be extreme ( their vert must be in the 40''area ).

Edit : just realized VC is only 35 , thought he was older! Oh well , was a good reason to open the thread anyway...

    

Taking a recent PR to repeatable status is awesome!!!
