Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400x1]

* no sleep between this and the previous workout. did not want to burn my CNS out by lifting the 425. also did the workout in my lunch break so i made it quick. 3-5min rests. 400 was still easy but i can tell that a 2-3hr pre-workout sleep would have made things better.

* got 6hr day sleep but did not have enough freshness to lift 425 easily. did a very strict pause at the hole but the concentric was not as explosive as i wanted.
* upping BCAA consumption by consuming more casein proteins now. single serving in the 3-4grams of BCAA and go for 8-10 servings a day.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]

* got some good 3hr morning sleep after work and it was just right. 400x1 felt light now compared to yesterdays and the 425x1 was from a strict pause again. had to use more effort to continue the bar going the 1/2 way up but nothing that got me worried.
* it might be a good time soon to add some supra max 1/2 squats to get stronger in that sticking point for me and also give my VMOs some time off. something like 425x1 paused, 440-455-475-497-515-530 x1-2, back up to 425x4
* did some SVJ 2-hand dunks afterwards without breaking a sweat. if i do another 6-8 week cycle of supra max half, i might be doing lower 3/4 forearm 2-hand dunks. i'm at mid forearms right now at best.

Sun - 1/3 Morning 6:00am
April 8, 2012

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400x1]

* messed up with my back extension volume. did a bit too much. legs were strong but the lowerback did not hold. did not even attempt my planned supra max. would probably just fold..

-------------------------------------------------------

Sun - 2/3 Afternoon 4:30pm
April 8, 2012

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]
- 425,440,455x1

* lowerback felt stronger after the midday nap. got 425x1 but not as explosive as i want. the pause was strict. supra max half squats started with singles up to 455x1 as preparation.
* IMO, doing a lot of these paused full squats reps multi times a day for years got my VMO/glutes/hamstrings very strong at that full hams-at-calves position. adding another wave of supra max halfs will get me going at my sticking point at the 1/2 squat ROM - and eventually will get me a higher SVJ.
* will do singles supra max for now as preparation and see if i can recover from this and lift again within the day. 3x a day if i can. focus for now is to get comfortable stopping at half depth, holding that position to really feel the depth and then exploding up. hopefully get to a top supra max paused single with 525-530 then back up to 475s 2-4 reps non-paused with explosive reversals.
* last time i did the supra max cycle, i almost injured my upper back because when i was holding the bottom position, i was resting the bar on the pins. pushing it back up but not realizing that i was losing contact with the bar at the hole. i was basically  pounding my upperback with a metal bar. not doing that again.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]

* the potentiation effect of the previous supra max halfs was strong. blasted 425x1 paused like it was 20-30lbs lighter. a strict 440x1 would be possible. did not do more half squats because i might burn out too soon.
* i like these quick ramping to 400-425s. gives me good appetite and gets my SVJ going too. consistent on 6-10 SVJ 2 hand dunks post squat without really a good warmup aside form the squats.
* will do halfs again later.

* did some SVJ 2-hand dunks afterwards without breaking a sweat. if i do another 6-8 week cycle of supra max half, i might be doing lower 3/4 forearm 2-hand dunks. i'm at mid forearms right now at best.  

Some calculations:
Mid forearm would be 5 to 6 inches below wrist for me , which is 13 to 14 inches below fingertip.
That would mean highest touch is 133 to 134 inches.
Also your single hand reach is 92'' so i am guessing your double hand reach is about 90''.

That is 43 to 44 inches SVJ without even full armswing ( since you are holding the basketball ), not so bad...

:o   :wowthatwasnutswtf: :strong:  :ibsquatting:  :headbang:  :ibjumping:  :personal-record:

Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

^ thanks. possible but with rims that are 99% not completely 10ft, id say low 42-43 best. the only vid-validated SVJs i have are 39"x2 a few months ago, so i cannot really claim +3-4" over my old vid without any proof.. and yes, my 2-hand reach is 90".

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]
- 440,455x1

* still overpowered the paused 425x1 by at least 20-30lbs. solid strict pause with a controlled and smooth concentric. lowerback probably recovered now from the 18rep heavy back extensions. did the supra max preparation sets with the pause.
* did a set of supra max 1/2 squat with a pause at the bottom but came up only to 1/4 way up and went down again after "finding" the depth with the first rep but this time without the pause. like a 1+1/2 set in one rep of 1/2 squat. this felt good but will most likely break something if form gets sloppy - because of the supra max loading.

* just as strong as last time too but lowerback starting to feel tired a bit after the 455. will skip next supra max if i still feel stiff a bit but most likely not.
* SVJ 2-hand dunks afterwards felt easier and more explosive. must be some supra max effect.

How do the paused half squat feel on your knees? I would think that would hurt a bit.

^ paused half squats not really doing any harm yet. i like the feeling of pausing at half depth, but going up a bit and going to that same spot with again within the rep before completing the rep is starting to feel good for me. feels like a slowmo version of an SVJ.

Daily Squats Maintenance - Paused Reps / Supra Max 1/2 Squats Paused
[200,250x4][300x2][350,400x1]
- 425,440,455x1

* got 6hr straight sleep and felt off. 400x1 was not very easy. continued to 1/2 squat the rest of the weights and will come back stronger later.

[200,250x4][300x2][350,400,425x1]
- 440,455,475x1

* 425x1 from a strict pause. ~ 10-15lbs over it. strong but not the most explosive.
* lowerback starting to feel a little tired from the supra max halfs. if i struggle later with the paused rep ramping, i might deload back to 455 top set.  goals are 475-500-525 top sets with backoff 455 x2-4s. still in the prep phase so taking it easy for now.

* did not feel weak at all but decided to skip the 475+ so i can be sure that recovery is really catching up. 425x1 paused was boss again - its starting feel like 400 now.

- 455x2
- 320x1 front

* 500 surprisingly felt light on the back and i was still able to make the pause at the 1/2 depth ~ 90max quad/calf angle, before exploding up with the weight. the 455x2 following that was still very explosive and controlled. 320 front squat felt so easy it might have been useless.. should have done 345.

^ never timed my 10 and 40yr dash but with all the uphill sprints i've been doing, id say i'm a lot better at accelerating right now. top speed sucks but i'd hold my own in the sub 60meters.

scoops of whey... on a non-high rep routine like i'm doing now, id consume 50-75 grams of protein post workout. so if its 3x lift a day, thats 225g protein from just the powders (whey or casein).

on volume workouts, i can take in 75-100grams intra workout and another 50-75 afterwards. i buy tubs of whey discounted at ~  $16-18/ tub.. have a closet filled with supplements.

* almost 26 hr since the last lift and i'm still a little sore because it was a lot of heavy singles. recovered and felt good but not smooth on the lifts. 425x1 was not as explosive but still a strict pause at the bottom. skipped supra max for later.

^bb.com / costo.  when they go for buy2 get 1 free or whatever promo, and add to that they 10%off minimum discount. right now, they have the dymatize elite casein 4lb for $47.. less 20% = $19/ 2lbs.. not bad. costco has musclemilk discounted up to $10 off sometimes.

ooooh for some reason i thought you were talking about 5lb tubs.

i remember when vitamin shoppe had Ginger Bread Cookie ON 100% whey and let me tell you... it was the #1 tasting whey protein of all time for me. And I mean, it was so good, even if it wasn't a protein shake I'd buy it over and over again.










And it was $12 for a 2lb tub.
