Hmm yeah I should be incorporating some standing verticals twice a week before squatting. Good idea. Thing is, I jump much higher when warmed up great after a basketball game (current gym doesnt have a basketball gym). Maybe I'll do some jump rope or something before hand.
What's a counter movement jump? Does that just mean SV? I never knew.

Just saw this vid again:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfhTVxA3e5w" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfhTVxA3e5w</a>



God damn I want a 40 inch standing vertical. I'm going to get there one day! My best is 33" but I never really practiced the standing jump much, so maybe I could have hit 34.

http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljumpcalculator.html

Squatting 455lbs at a bodyweight of 190lbs (including jumping gear) should get me there. I'm at about 405lbs at 193lbs bw in gear right now. One of my other life goals is a 2.5x bw squat. Squatting 500 at 200lbs bw will give me that. That should put me at 40" standing as well.

But first, 40" running vert!!! It was on the horizon a few times. Squatting 375x3 at this weight would definitely get me there after much jumping practice.

I really want to get a full body diagnostic in terms of structure, posture, etc. I wonder where I can find a good and affordable person in NYC who is knowledgable about myofascial release, deep tissue massage, posture, the CNS, all that stuff. I just want my entire body assessed, then i want a painful ass massage one time to release everything, and then i want to be told whats tight, short, long, loose, overactive, dormant, and then be told what stretches and exercises i should do at home to keep myself fixed.

This ^^^

I always feel like I need someone to press the reset button for my body and tell me how to progress from there to keep it in check. Unfortunately, as I'm finding out now, getting everything diagnosed by the one person is a long shot as they always invariably miss something that you need a second person to pick up.

That's a good point. I'm thinking I could call ahead and scope the guy out, ask him if he's familiar with things, and let him know im more knowledgeable than the average person about this stuff. Then maybe 6mo from now or a year, instead of going back to him i'll go back to someone else.

Wtf happened to my deadlift? I think I need more sleep. Also I need to go HARD on back extensions. I've been skimping on protein too.

I think I'll lower to 335 next workout and work up from there each session.

Holy crap i want to squat 405x3 so badly. 360x3 gave me a tested 405 max. So 405x3 should put me at 445lbs. I want to get there at a bodyweight of 195lbs. Thatll be a 2.25x bw squat. I hope to be there in a year.

I should get my bw down to 187 currently. Havent weighed myself in a while. Here's where i want to be:

January - 360x3 at 187lbs
June - 385x3 at 190lbs
January - 405x3 at 195lbs

I may hit my goals much earlier... But i always guess that yet ive been stalling for years lol.

nice!

january 2017, 405x3 @ 195?

Yep! I feel I may hit it earlier than that, but I can always re-adjust my goals.

This felt awesome. I wanted to do even more. Some rear delt flyes maybe. Doing more volume with short rests allows me to workout for longer. Well this workout didn't take too long anyway, since the rest periods were short.

Been hitting my external rotators/rear delts pretty good lately. I already see their size increased. Of course it's just a sarcoplasmic fluid response from working out, but hey it gives me motivation!

I wonder how single leg hip thrusts would work

I used to do these for glute activation before squatting. Worked great! I did them weightless though.

Just too lazy to finish and it was getting late. At least I improved on my squats and bench. Should be back to 365x3 in a few weeks, which is great. 360x3 put me at a tested 405 max back then, so I can definitely claim a 405 squat with 365x3.
