I don't believe in nutrition at all. That's just me (yes, I know). Even though I don't believe in nutrition, I will eat better (high protein, low carbs etc). My problem is my very, ultra-extremely low conditioning. I get tired very quickly. My heart rate goes up so high after just a little effort etc.

I feel way too heavy at my ~84 kg that I currently have so I really need to get lighter.

Well I'll soon switch to salads + fish and eggs, but I still think it's cardio that I need to work on.

Some running + KB swings intervals should take care of that I think.

I can't jump though since I don't have a basketball gym to train and jump into, and I don't think it's smart at this weight/bodyfat either. So I need to start converting my added strength into explosive strength and get my bodyweight lower, and THEN I can start jumping more.

 

What? I think my logic is pretty solid.

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.

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.

Um... so what does that do?

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.
