Well I don't know... my squat has stagnated quite a bit and frankly, I'm kind of tired of all this. I'm so much stronger than anybody I know that happen to jump more than me and still, some people definitely outjump me while being much weaker. My two-leg technique sucks, my power sucks (I can't clean 60 kg, I can't snatch more than 30 (wtf), I'm pretty good at jump squats though so it might be a technique thing with o-lifts but still, when I jump squat I can be quad-dominant while when I o-lift I can't - there's your answer).

I can split my workouts by doing KB swings intervals at home either after I wake up or after I come home from work. I could do swings as cardio and then MSEM at night at the gym.

And I still don't really buy into the capitalist marketing nutrition thing. I ate much better and my bodyweight is the same, bodyfat is the same and so on. The body just takes what it needs and what the metabolism dictates and that's it. I'll keep the carbs low but I don't really feel it's going to help or whatever. It's definitely a thing of cardio since I suck so hard at it.

Why? It's usually helpful to also provide an explanation to something you say, so we're not forced into losing posts of asking stuff like "why?".

I'm approaching my deload and then high frequency MSEM squatting phase soon (~2 weeks 'til then).

I plan on doing MSEM on MON, TUE, THU and FRI, with power work like snatches and 1-2 jump squats interspersed. So MSEM squat + snatch on MON and THU + MSEM squat + 1-2 jump squat on TUE and FRI. I also want to cut down fat so after I do my strength work I'll do stuff on a stationary bike (no treadmill, afraid of that machine) and when it's OK outside - run.

Any ideas of how to implement it? Any other ideas?

Should I do a few snatches and jump squats before the MSEM squats? After them? That is - use snatches and jump squats as MSEM potentiation or use MSEM as snatch and jump squat potentiation? Or do a 4 rep MSEM set, then do the dynamic stuff, then do another 4 rep MSEM set? (wave loading)

I'm still not sure what weight I'll use, squatted 140 and probably my max is ~145 or so, I think I should use 130 kg for starters.

WTF? STUPID SONGS ON YOUR VID? HIS HEAD IS MINE!!! :-X :pissed:

He just doesn't get it.

I had one guy call me weird (not in my face but he tell that to Flip) because I wear "mid-shin" socks. Apparently, high socks aren't the only culprit and mid-shin socks are even worse. I'm a really weird guy it would appear.

Weak. Roids.

I thought so. You should probably watch what happens to your upperbody and where your shoulders are positioned. If they are too far forward as in a good morning you're probably loading the quads since the center of gravity is moved too much forward.

What about bread? Is one or max two thin slices of bread evil enough for that meal? It won't be much in terms of calories but it will have a glicemic effect so that's my worry.

I always ate stuff with bread all my life so that's the thing.

I love onions.

Do you think cucumber + tomato + carrot + onion + fish is a good thing to eat for fat loss? It's coming close to my period of cutting down the stupid fat I've had for years.

Any negatives about vinegar + olive oil into that combination?

Maybe you should work on contracting the hell out of your glutes and try to take more force into them...

No but really, you're probably either landing weird, using too much quad (break a lot at the knees and very little at the hips) and/or use too high of a box.

You should learn to land first, doing depth drops, and then put in the jump part.

It's weird in a way... you'd expect to get dizzy with a smaller amount of air due to lack of oxygene, but probably the dizziness comes from a hightened blood pressure and not from the lack of oxygene.
