Felt pretty good after this workout too. I did this in the AM before work. After work I start my league game. Let's see how high I'll jump. Wish my squat was still at 455 level but... 415 will do for now. I have a feelign weekly basketball may bring it back up quickly. I mean, sprinting and max effort jumps are pretty plyometric. There's no way I lost muscle so fast to drop from 455 to 415. It's gotta be the CNS.

league games + squat fatigue = no more 455 until you get into another squat centric routine.

you did it before..you'll do it again. :strong:

* change of plan a little. will bulk back up to ~ 188-192lb or whatever weight i can while still holding onto 8%BF.  planing a trip to hawaii. cannot look like a twig on this summer vacation.
* will gain weight by adding more protein shake, eggs and still go with my staple diet - grilled chicken breast + brown rice + costco kale salad kits.2
* added the x5 backoff sets. these really get me thicker fast. also makes my other little lift more effective.

* been eating an extra 10 eggs a day + boiled potato + feta cheese combo. goal of 190-192lb lean weight by end of june.  i'll probably overshoot by third week and lean down by the 4th.

* 70lb x5s weighted chins a lot easier on fatigue compared to 50x10s. my weight gaining routine is working. i'm getting so much stronger already. i'm 425 paused strong this morning already. will do 2 sets of 5s with the backoffs soon.

bw 184lb
afternoon
paused full squats 315s-365-405 | no pause 365x5

* i'm usually weakest on thursdays because of extended awake time from first day of night shift work but not today. i just ate a lot more and felt thicker this afternoon. still doing the back off  365x5s. when i get to 188-192bw, i'll most likely move up to 385-405x5 and hold it there again until i pile up more BW. (and not a lot of fat)

scoob,

if you like the HIIT style of training for weight loss and conditioning, do HIIT exercises that will improve your jump. sprinting improves sprinting.

jump ropes, loaded jump squats, even stair climbs (stadium stairs are toughest) will have better carryover to your jumping.

i personally cut weight/lean out by caloric deficit alone. adding more exercise and eating less  almost always leads to a burnout.

What are you using these for? I mean, it's not like your soleus needs that much of a load.

calves need heavy loads and lots of reps to grow.

i do it for some form of calf work without tiring my back. smith machine standing calf kills my traps in the long run.

its always a good thing to have massive calves for jump training. more muscles to take some impacts of landings away from the connective tissues.

bump for some seated calf work. feels like full ROM when i'm doing them but ROM looks weak on vid. could be that the foot rests are angled. i'm not pushing straight up. its slanted a bit.. i also noticed the jerking motion towards the top ROM. thats when i'm really trying to squeeze the calves and really get max plantar flexion.

Sunday May 22

morning
paused full squats 315s-365-405
calf raises seated soleus 6x45lb x10,10
chins neutral 50lbx10

* traps are 100% for the last few days now. i'm skipping 405 on some days because i will put too much effort to pause rep it at that time due to a combination of lack of very good sleep (i still get 6-7+hrs), schedule shift change and my lower bodyweight+IF diet. i cheat somedays when i feel that i'l be weaker by eating before a workout.
* i ate before workout this morning and feel noticeably stronger. consistent on my 50lbx10 chins and will use this until it feels very light.

calf raises seated soleus 6x45lb x10 | 7x45lb x5
chins neutral 50lbx10

* bw still in the lean 180-182lb. getting consistent in eating a half boiled potato with feta cheese pre workout. helps a ton. i could have 425 this morning already. i'm consistent again. will stop doing other things that break me until i get good momentum going again.

afternoon
paused full squats 315s-365-405
calf raises seated 7x45lb x5,5 | 6x45lb x10

* 6x45lb plates on the seated calf machine got a lot easier to rep to 10 by doing them today as backoff sets after the 7plates x5s. will continue with this loading. the calf machine can take 1 more 45lb plate up to 8 total. i got room to grow.
* a few more days of pain free workouts and i'l add the jump squats again.

morning
paused full squats 315s-365-405

* getting stronger in the 50lb weighted chins even when doing 10s daily. when i feel ready, i'll add another 10 for double sets of 10s per workout.
* bw 180lb but a lot stronger lately from eating a boiled potato+feta cheese pre workout.

* this newish standing calf machine at work has massive shoulder pads and feel very comfortable to use. max stack at 400lb so i'll probably do them high volumes.

* getting consistent again with 405s even at BW180lb. still some soreness in my traps. last time I did the weighted situps was Wednesday. will see if the pain really disappears and I will for sure know that i'm getting sore traps by hyperextending them with the weighted situps.

* still some soreness in the traps area when I did the cable rows but not painful enough to stop me from doing them. that's good progress. when the soreness was so bad, I cannot even one arm row pass midway up due to the pain.

calf raises seated soleus 6x45lb x10,10
decline bench barbell situps 45lbx10 | 65lbx10 | 85lbx10

* replaced the dumbbell behind the head situps with barbell decline bench situps. arms fully extended like an overhead squat.  no more neck strain with these. also stopped with any upperbody pushing against a bench/back support. I noticed yesterday after the single arm rows that there is a localized pain in the area near the right scapula. this was weeks back when I did heavy benching and my back just was not used to being squashed against the bench. will wait until all pain is gone until I add upperbody push again. maybe push ups for a while.

afternoon

decline bench barbell situps 95lbx10 | 115lbx5(3-2)

* will stay at 95lb for the decline push situps. 115lb too heavy for my elbows.
* can pause squat 425 today. sore traps not an issue on the squats anymore. i cheat a little when i'm this lean on my intermitent fasting diet by eating some potatoes pre-workout so i'm not complete fasted.

oh man........ stephen curry.

40 pts, 27 in 4th + OT, outscored POR by himself in OT (17 pts?), after coming off 2 weeks inactivity due to injury.

are you kidding?

man he went nuts. I love when he said "i'm here, im back, im back".. just letting everyone know, a healthy GSW = the real deal.

:wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

That look when you realize Curry's back...

* upperback still not pain free but good enough to handle 405s even in my morning workouts. i'l be stronger later with a heavy breakfast and lesser fasted time. might start the chins later if I feel my back is ready.

afternoon
full squats 315s-365
bw chins x20,20

* now i'm 100% sure i know whats wrecking my traps. my legs were strong but i just cant support the 405 because of the tenderness.. its the weighted situps with the dumbell behind the head. the more i'm tiring doing them, the more i hyperextendend my neck to move the dumbell forward. will skip those until my traps are pain free.

* upperback broken. I could be wrong of blaming it to the jump squats. I did jump squats before and those never got me sore like this. most likely its the upperbody pressing against a bench or support. i'm progressing fast on the weights because I can, but the growing pains of the movement is happening too fast. i'm also doing them daily only after weeks of starting. I realized that it took me years to get used to daily squats, dips and chins. I need more time with the upperbody push.
* did standing press this morning instead. I feel like going 4 plates later if my back soreness improves.
