you are pissing most of that out, lol.

i am a moron and was thinking of something else. 5000IU/day is within the max your body can process and you live in NYC, where it's winter and there's not enough sun. carry on.

Also, vitamin d is fat soluble so unlikely he is excreting much in his urine...

Vitamin d is crazy because its a hormone and basically does everything - a lot of the new research on it shows benefits at megadoses (10k-15k IU daily).  However, guidelines still put the maximum recommended levels at 40000 iu so I couldn't responsibly tell you to raise your dose...

However if you do... bump is up slowly and if you get constipated thats a good sign you need to dial back...

From what I've read, you'll only notice a difference from vitamin D dosage if you were deficient in it. I haven't read so much though. I'll bump it up to 20,000iu per day and see what happens. Its cheap as shit anyway.

Wowee!!! How long do you generally keep it up for?

I generally take 2,000 a day...when I remember to.

Sometimes I'll take it every other day. I found it for really cheap. They're "Vitamin D Dots" or something. Each dot is 5000iu and tastes pretty good. Turns out the ones that hvae 1000, 2000, and 5000iu per dot all cost the same, so i just went with the 5000 per dot.

Woke up at 196.8lbs today. As I suspected, I would drop from 200 to 197 in just a couple days.
Aiming for 193 by March 1st. Might get there earlier. Hopefully strength doesn't suffer. But I'm chasing that 2.25xbw squat... 405x3 at 195lbs by June would be ideal. That's my target.

Another note: I've been taking lots of vitamin D lately. I thought that's what had caused my crazy 30lb squat gain in 3 weeks. Also my 20lb bench gain. I'll keep it up for another week. I don't think that's what caused it, but I'll try another week. If there's no luck, I'll do the other thing I though was making my gains skyrocket. I'll say what it is after it works lol.

1. get stiff measuring tape, bring to gym
2. position plyo box under pipe
3. stand on plyo box
4. extend measuring tape overhead until it reaches pipe
5. take reading
6. add to your reach height and height of box
7. profit

Oh yeah... I kept thinking i needed a fishing pole thing to hold a string up to the pipe and let it drop to the floor. Then measure string. Forgot about adding my own reach. I'll have to measure my reach up to my thumb/how i hold the tape

Didn't do incline DB benches. Just didn't feel like it. Here's my squat vid:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Mn88fRc6w" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6Mn88fRc6w</a>


SVJ, probably 33" here: (edit: counted 49 frames at 60FPS, heel off to toes down, so its 31-32")





Feels awkward jumping like this. Which means I have the potential to jump a little higher once the movement is ironed out. I'll try doing even more knee bend in the future. Like to parallel. This can't be just 32" though... I need to measure my reach and measure an object to touch dammit.

people can come work out with me if they are willing to do exactly what i was planning to do anyway. it would actually be great to have a workout partner who was down to do the same routine as me.

That would be really nice. I don't know if I'll ever enjoy that lol.

I've done my routine with him and he still got in the way. Others too. I do a lot of warm up sets and rest an okay amount between them. They don't like to do all that. Even then, if I want to rest 2min between my squats, they'll want to go again before me and then by the time I have to squat they'll still be squatting.

Even worse is yep, doing their exercises and shit. And worse yet, is messing up the order. I'll do all your lifts when I'm done with mine. No I don't want to do cable chest flyes before benching. I'll do them after benching, maybe, for a little. And no I don't want to do close grip bench press. Just regular. Maybe I'll do close grip after my regular benches.

And wtf is this? Why am I doing pyramid set?!?! They don't make sense! I'm tired as fuck for my 3RM now. We should do REVERSE pyramid sets if anything.

Ate a TON this weekend and spent way too much money on food
Pooped tnite and then weighed myself at 203.8lbs!!! Havent been this heavy since January 2011 five years ago when i was 210lbs... Took another poop and brought it down to 202.8lbs. I know i still have food in me plus a bunch of glycogen stored from increased food/caeb intake. Also a lot of water weight, i can even feel it in my face.

Cutting down to 193lbs by March 1st. I'll probably be down to 196-197 in the morning a few days from dropping glycogen and water, so this wont be too difficult.

I know i'll crush 385x3 on the squats tomorrow though

Iphone 6s does have high frame video, don't expect huge differences though, when you are between , say 24 and 25 frames at a 30 frame video, the 240 frames will only tell you it was 24,3 , no big deal. The other errors in that measurement ( knee angle at landing, horizontal displacement ) are more significant.
You can always use the hangtime as an indicator, but stick to the highest touch for accurate measurement.

Agreed. My current gym doesn't have a single good spot to test highest touch There is this one pipe running below the ceiling that I can only touch on my best SVJ days, and it happens to be a good goal to aim for though. Sooner or later I'll be able to get it almost every workout. Damn I miss having a gym with a basketball court in it...
