why dropping max weight, if you're feeling strong?

because i like lifting everyday. i cannot maintain the intensity of 405+ at 190lb bw without tiring out if i continue doing 405lb on light days. it was fine when i was 210 heavy.

* tricep started to feel used during the chins now. all started when i did multiple 10s of db shoulder press. not a bad thing. just weird that triceps get some soreness just now from the high rep chins.
* very strong on the squats lately.  could be 440 paused with the 405 bar speed this morning. planning on doing 365 max weight as dailys and peak for 405+

* not going to lie but the bar speed of the paused 440 is explosive enough that i could have grinded the life out of me and get 455lb. wet bw at 194lb. 200kg weight up nicely without a hiccup and no grunting at all. beautiful thing to start the work week.
* i am not mentally ready to deload and peak 455 paused rep at this low 190s weight at this time.

* i was doing 8-10plates of smith calf raises for 6-10 reps before. doing 3 plates with fuller range of motion is more bang of the buck.. aiming for 24 reps before i add more weight. i was doing the 8plate + before with pause and a good ROM but the 3 plate ROM feels like at least another 1/2" higher.

* felt very strong with the 405, did higher volume with 315s. i was doing 315x16-18 when i was topping out at 455. 16 was doable today. could be 440x1 paused at this  BW194lb.
* left elbow still not 100% but the deload on the chins is helping fast. full ROM already there without any pain.

* im doing the chins with both elbows with the same bottom ROM. it was a bit tender before so i was tilting a little at the bottom because i cannot fully extend the left side. 20 was not very difficult. could get to 24 at some point.

* left elbow still broken from the dips months ago. cannot do any form of upperbody push without making it tender.

 :( yikes

i hate dips. but when i start doing them, it feels great. then i do daily 30-40s. then i get tennis elbow. will really commit to not doing stupid volumes after my left elbow heals. il give it until july. weighted chins are still not affected.

do your calves really go up and down in size that much when you're doing raises vs. when you're not?

yes. and i really like the bloatedness when i do them with a bent knee (soleus). it does not tire my lowerback from supporting heavy weights.

the soleus gets sore but it seems to not have anything to do with walking as much as the gastrocs.

* will add drop sets to the calf raises. i get most massive calves when i hit the top ROM with a pause. no point in using a lot of weight if the calves dont get big because more weight usually means you lose the top ROM very fast.. or for most people, dont even get there at all.

* BW194lb. added more carbs with brown rice for the last couple of days. felt very thick this morning. could have gotten 440 today. the paused 405 went up without any hiccups. no 455 because the bar speed is not convincing but a 440 is possible.
