michigan sucks their whole conference is so overated

BW = ??? but low, spent Saturday puking and not eating very much
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = mild
DIET = better than Saturday but not enough food before workout, got hungry as I started lifting

session 3 : power

- warmup

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up
x2@80%, x3@90-95%

- jumps : 3 step
x4@80%, x12 @95% == total shit with one or two exceptions, approach was horrendous, wtf

-  MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing
10,10,10,10 == running out of steam after about 8

- Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT
moving forward too much

- REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%)
125,125,125,125 == second and fourth sets were the best I've done of these

- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 6 (~80%)
260,260

- C1: jump squat : 2 x 2 (30%)
95,95,95,95

- C1-stuff: 2 rotations (so 2 sets of msem squat, 4 sets of jump squats)

- lunge : 3 x 3
it wouldn't be an LBSS workout (TM) if i didn't forget something

- core
TTB 3x10

- stretch

There is no magic number. General recommendations are 1-1.5g/lb lean body mass for adding muscle. That plus an overall caloric surplus plus heavy lifting will lead to hypertrophy. Carb/fat split has a lot to do with how active you are and your own personal physiology/preferences.

arms too skinny. more curls.

BW = ???
SORENESS = hamstrings pretty bad, traps
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate to heavy, which is weird because I've been sleeping better/more than usual the past three nights
DIET = good

session 2 : power

- warmup

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up

- jumps : 2 step & vert
shiiiiitttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, 30-30.5, thankfully didn't miss the rim at any point

- MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing
10,10,10,10

- Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT
first two sets sucked, third okay, last pretty good; i need the extra bounce before i start the pogos

- REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%)
125,125,125,125 == okay

- MSEM squat: 2 x 4 (~90%)
290,290,290,290 == 6th and 7th reps mediocre, others good

- BSS : 3 x 3 (4L, 3R)
150,150,150

- core
leg lower hold 3x20s

- stretch

A revelation: extreme statements tend to be misleading and/or stupid. P-CHAIN IS BOSS SQUATS ARE ALL YOU NEED FOR ABS was always a retarded thing to say. Also, since when has the A-Chain been the less glamorous side? Isn't bench, curls and abs the beach bro trifecta?

Gonna try those exercises he describes at the end.

Thanks for posting, Lance.

Lance , do you recommend this depth for the squat after catching , something higher ( like half or quarter squat ) or whatever comes/feels natural?

edit : exrx.net won't allow the gif embeding so i'll use a pic:

Yea Vag, I 100% believe half or quarter squat catch is going to be more beneficial for most athletes.  The height that you catch and reverse the weight is much more specific to that point in the range of motion for jumping, as well as the focus on extremely powerful triple extension to get the height needed to catch the bar at a higher depth.  When doing the full lifts there is much more focus on getting under the bar quickly and many athletes trying to implement these lifts will end up cutting the second pull (triple extension) short, in order to start getting under the bar more quickly at a full depth. 

Not to mention, is hard as fuck to learn the full, competition-style version. If nothing else, the level of mobility/stability you need in your hips, core and shoulders to handle competitive weights is pretty incredible and probably not specifically necessary for anyone but a competitive lifter. As has already been discussed ad nauseum on this site, you don't need to be able to do an honest ATG squat to be a great athlete. But you do to be an elite oly lifter.
