those jumps you did looked really good, and those shoes looked great to jump in, adarq approved from what I see.. :ninja:

your jumping should sky rocket when you start jumping more, and potentially reduce some of this fatigue by lowering the volume drastically and potentially just getting in some more non-MAX efforts, more frequently. Not sure how you are planning to transition, but you could easily handle more squat days after doing a routine like that, as long as you drop the volume & still do "heavy" sessions but, more of a focus on non-aggressive/non-amp'd up ones, so you're in the "training max territory" and not the "true max territory".

pc!!

Thanks! The shoes are def my fav. If they ever reduce the weight down it could be GOAT but they're light enough for me that i dont really mind. Love them.

The plan is to finish up high vol  (20 sets) adventures this coming week then start taking sets off each week. Thinking take off 2/2 the first week to 16 sets and then 14 the following week etc. That way as i release some fatigue, i benefit by getting a bit stronger each week as well. I can start doing more submax jumps once i feel like i can handle more training load as I go along? For summer i want to put my squats on maintenance (on say 5x5x150kg) and peak my athleticism / fitness / bball.

Bad luck about the 160 (352lbs) failing but congrats on the 152.5x3 PR. Honestly if you were fresh and didn't hit the 152.5x3 prior to attempting 160 I believe you would have got 160 easily. Theoretically with a 152.5x3 your 1RM for the squat should be around 167.5 or even 170 on a good day.  The way I calculated that is most people's 3RM for a bench, squat or deadlift usually equates to a 1RM of 3RM +10%.

thanks mate! i kinda only wanted teh 160kg if it was  submax, you know? like if it was a true 1rm, i dont want it b/c i know it would have been ugly af and it wud have wrecked my recovery for the rest of the week, which would disrupt my usual squat program. So i wasn't really looking for a make at that price. I did an ugly af 157.5kg (as in it was up on my insta for a few minutes before i decided it was too shameful lol) back when my volume worksets were (i think) 122.5kg for 5s. So i know i can always get an ugly PR around 160kg but i want something im proud of .. if i get an ugly 1rm max and im ashamed of it then i can't expect anyone else to care either if the person who cares the most doesn't even care for it. I have a lot of work to do. My dream, maybe not realistic is to hit 180kg this summer while making it a 2xbw milestone. I dont know if that's in the cards THIS summer but i will try my best to get volume worksets around 150kg to give myself a fighting chance..

Loving your success lately and this is an awesome attitude to have. I think you're like me and ugly reps have sent you in the wrong direction in the past.

Yup! I just reviewed the video of the fail and i was pretty relaxed during the rep even during the bail, i just wasn't going to force it that day b/c on the back of my mind was i can't mess myself up too much when i have to do 10x5x140kg in a couple of days time. When i compare it to the 3x152.5kg i was really aggressive on those b/c that was programmed PR for the day. 160kg was just an after thought cos i didnt think i could get a 5x147.5kg PR with how i felt. The right move would have been go for 4x147.5kg instead of the 0x160kg though. I find squat mornings are bad for recovery, it used to take me over a week to recover from a dirty goodmorning rep but these days i can do better than that but i'd rather not make my program a lot harder than it needs to be. In that vein ive been eating more carbs, esp before bed b/c i know better sleep gives better recovery and carbs are my friend. Not like im eating tons of carbs now but adding a banana to my whey/berry smoothie and an extra piece of bread to an already baseline intake goes a long way.

Got that sick feeling just prior to the volume session. But all things considered my prep has been good this week and today i even had 2 meals before the session.  So lets see how it goes, brb.
BS 6x5x140(PR), 4x140, 3x140, 2x140, 2x140

Notes:
I only managed 6 sets of 5!  I should have done a 7th set of 5 and gone home but i reasoned out of the ugly 5th rep and bargained to attempt another pretty 4 sets of 4 instead, which didn't happen either - bird in hand etc. Nevermind. Im going to fucking repeat this workout next week and crush it for all 10 sets of 5.

More bball today and heavy training. Please dont break body, please..
Bball practice

BS 3x127.5, 1x155, 1x160(PR), 4x147.5(PR)
submax jumps
maintenance hill sprints x 5
Back Xtn 10x90(PR)

Notes:
Bball really beats the shit out of me when i get back into it :( But i said F it im going to lift whatever happens. Finally cracked the 160kg milestone. Only happened because i did the first rep of 3x155kg PR attempt and thought nope nope that was too hard to rep out another 2 times. So racked it and felt fresh and strong enough to go for 160kg. It's done. The only shitty thing was the 4th and last rep of that 147.5kg - yup hella squatmorninged it :/ so erectors will be fried af the next couple of days. Hopefully recovered for the last high volume sesh on thursday though.
