« on: February 17, 2014, 06:32:37 pm »You shouldn't really care about your squat performance at this point - as long as the jumps become:
1) Higher
2) Smoother
3) Faster
4) Easier (less effort is needed)
5) BETTER
Then you're good to go.
oh, trust me, i don't care about squat performance right now. but it was notable to struggle with 255 after overpowering it easily the past few workouts.

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: posterior left shoulder tweaking a wee bit
MENTAL STATE: very good
- warm up
- jumps x ~20
got a few good dunks with the dodgeball but inconsistent, missed more than i made. still felt good.
- paused squat 255 x 2; 225 x 3
legs weak/enervated weirdly. the 225 x 3 was explosive but 255 felt awful. huh.
- bench 185 x 8+3+3+3+3
nice pump
- cable pull through 140 x 20; 150 x 20,20
- kroc row 80 x 17(L),18(R)
- superset x 2
-- decline sit up 35 x 10
-- DB shrug 60s x 10
-- band pull apart x 10
some random other shit in there like a 2x25 DB plate pinch, some clapping pull ups, etc. good workout.

thanks y'all. unathletic shortish guys of the world unite! interesting point about hip hyperextension, raptor. i'm trying to do a better job of pre-activating my glutes and hopefully that'll help, too.

WEIGHT: 175
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: very good

- jumps x ~15
got a few dunks with the big dodgeball (volleyball-sized), some very good jumps without it, as well. plenty of video, will post later. not quite all-time PR height but close.
- paused squat 255 x 3,3
vid of first set. second set was better.
- bench 205 x 5,5,5
tough but clean. wobbled a little on the last rep of the first set and everything else was clean.

did a few clapping pull ups in between sets
- kroc row 60 x 25

no. alcohol in moderation can be handled by the liver. that's the liver's job. acetaminophen/paracetamol is the LEADING CAUSE OF ACUTE LIVER FAILURE in the united states. when you mix it with alcohol, things can go badly.

oh yeah, sorry, paracetamol we call acetaminophen in the US, for some reason. it's not an NSAID but it's actually TERRIBLE to take with booze because it's hard on your liver.
