jesus christ, you're not fat. you've done an incredibly impressive job cutting down. the discipline is there, no question. but you're starting to get like adarq circa 2011 with his athletic anorexia shit. i realize you're kind of kidding but distorted body image ain't a joke. you're getting to the point where no matter how much weight you lose, you won't look that much leaner because you're thin. t0ddday had a good post about this a while back. three 6' tall guys at ~10% bf, one weighs 165 pounds, one weighs 175 pounds and one weighs 185 pounds. all else being equal, who looks leanest? the heaviest guy. adarq, even when he was under 150 pounds, never looked super lean. whereas t0ddday and kingfish look ripped despite weighing more at shorter heights and probably having equal or higher bf%.

what i'm saying is, let's do a bit of a bulk together, my brother. you can always lose the weight again later.

awesome depth on the front squats, btw.

IME trap bar recruits quads more. that's why it's easier. it's therefore less useful as an assistance exercise meant to target p-chain. not to say it's a bad exercise, obviously.

SORENESS: shins, calves a bit. man i wrecked 'em on monday. like whoa.
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: happy, good mood, excited to play again

- warm up
inadequate

- indoor ultimate x 60 mins
so much better than tuesday. getting my legs back a bit. still got gassed but we were better with subbing today so i was never on for too long (well, maybe once). and i didn't suck so outrageously after i got tired. plus we blew the other team out of the water; it was close at halftime but i think we outscored them 21-2 in the second half. so that's always fun.

saturday, squat MSEM @ 335. yeehaw.

"it's still your motherfuckin' set. let's get it done."

Damn, the paused leg press calf raises were that bad in terms of generating soreness? Or was it that + the basketball game?

the former. although my shins are sore today and that's unquestionably from the game.

It takes me about 50 mins to 1 hour to complete my weightlifting:
I do 3 combound exercises, 1 legs - 1 push - 1 pull. Each consists of 3 sets, 3 minutes rest between them, 3-5 minutes rest between exercises. My warm-up sequence is the same for all exercises, 3 sets building up intensity, ~1 min between those sets. I don't do abs or stretch at the gym, i leave right after the last working set.

Yep see this is my problem right here. All the rest periods (I know they're required) drive me crazy. Doing this VJB program the plyo exercises alone on one day have about 35 minutes of rest. Then doing 4-5 sets of squats and RDLs with 3 minutes rest between each and warm up sets gives another 30 plus minutes of rest. That's over an hour without even including lifting time.

I'm sure there's a way to fit it all in to 40 mins and make if effective and would be glad if anyone has any suggestions.

yeah, there is. sacrifice intensity. if you want to work at the upper ranges of intensity and have it work, you have to rest a lot.

Lol! I could invite the woman for some cardio in the middle....

LBSS its probably an average from a study. I'd venture to say it differs greatly from person to person. Supposedly diet, fitness level and your tolerance to lifting can all slow the release.

yeah, probably. and i'm with you on the differing person to person. that's why i feel like a number like that is probably completely useless on an individual level.

I read somewhere that after 47 minutes the cortisol level starts to build up pretty fast so...

source? sounds dubiously specific.
