👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Lol.  LBSS speaks true!

tested my vertical .. didn't ball today .. post refeed weighed 80kg! still got up though. ate a lot today as well. back to clean eating monday .. and hopefully squat prs to come.

^^^seriously. i want you to learn a proper arm swing so we can see how high you're really capable of.

So crossroads ... embrace non-existing squat and go all in on athletic stuff like bball/sprinting/dunking ... or take a step back and try to get my squat going? Which way do I go? I just wanna get to repping 140kg and put it on maintenance .. not asking for too much am i? I mean i am, that's adding 20kg to my squat while not gaining any weight .. but maybe i could work harder/smarter/etc...

I know i can get to repping 130kg while weighing between 75-79kg .. cos i was there in the summer. Maybe i cud get close enough to 140kg, as my bw -> 80kg, bs->140kg. I will prob just see how i go in the workout today. if it sucks then i'll forget squatting a while and just do lots of athletic stuff. i usually take these things too hard and get upset when i stall out. Part of me wants to find out what happens when i stop lifting and just focus on jumping, i think i will PR?

bw: 79.8kg today btw .. not bad after a weekend of binging.

Does it have to be one or the other though? Surely there's room for both.

Btw, it sounded a bit harsh when I said you stalled all the time. You've made huge gains but like you said you go a bit hard in just one area.

dont worry it wasnt harsh, i know you're right. btw im starting the new less harsh diet today.. meal 1 is not just a shake, it's that and 3 eggs and toast, that shud get me unstuck a bit .. hopefully. if i can do that for 3 weeks i'll be stronger and leaner and more muscular .. so im confident there's good things to go come in the rest of july.

Keep up the bball/sprinting/dunking because that's the stuff you want to be good at. Squatting is just a means to an end. When I ran my fastest I didn't even squat or lift I was just really light and used to play sports a lot. Sport-specific is what makes you good at the sport. Getting into the mindset of thinking about your squat is making you sound like a powerlifter and honestly the biggest advantage of the squat is really the standing vertical jump.

thanks for the advice. you and todday are managing to drag me along, kicking and screaming, away from my obsession with liftng. i still cant believe or understand why my glutes are so damn sore and it's been 9 days since i had a proper squat/rdl session -- which btw-- wasnt even that hard -- and so the soreness is coming just from dunking and bball. that's crazsy to me. it cud be im transitioning into glute dominance which is a new direction for me, dripping with potential and excitement. we'll see how it goes!
