* calves not very strong. reps 9-10 gave me a hard time. had to let the machine drop at the final rep to not stress the back pulling the handle to raise it so i can re-set the weights.
* strong post workout meal and lift again ~ midnight-ish after i feel fresh again.

* legs are tired. time to take it easy (no more 3-4x / day squat).. a couple of days of just 2x with good food should get me back on track.
* calf work is alright. did not get top ROM at rep 10 at some sets and had to drop the machine again to take the weights off.

^ the 515x2 was the heaviest partial reps i did at one point. have vid but no point in showing partials squats IMO - everybody can do them heavy anyway.

* was surprisingly very strong. would have gotten a strict 425x1.  the calf raises were also a lot easier. might add another 10lbs soon.

my romaleos 2 volt are here - the 2012 olympic version. used them today and felt good. a lot lighter and felt thinner than the romaleos 1, but not as thin as my Ironworks 2. i like them all.

oh, i assumed 90 = parallel.

i asked vag the same question a couple weeks ago, but how do your joints, etc feel training with such heavy weights and a high intensity?

my joints are doing just fine. no injury or any near-injury incidents even with 1-3x/day squats with 400lbs+. did 4x squats in a day also the other day and same thing. just a little muscular fatigue but thats about it. less than a couple of weeks to go and the end of this month marks my 1-year every day squat routine.

this is the advantage of the paused rep squats. it saves the joints. muscles take the beating. it also trains you to be very explosive at the start of the movement, otherwise the bar will tell you it doesn't want to go all the way up.

Daily Calf Raise Seated Soleus- plate loaded paused reps top/bottom holds
- 4x45lb x10
- 5x45lb 10,10,10,16

* the 5plate calf raises x10 is not cutting it anymore. didn't feel like adding more weight and look ugly with a small 10lb plate in there.. il go for 16x4 before i add another 15-25lb and go down to x8 again.
* been doing standing single arm low cable row x10reps for good volume/bloodflow aiding my heavy head supported curl-bar BB rows at home. i like the effects of the standing rows - my other hand braced again a support (and feet planted solid) to really focus on pulling with the elbow, holding the top contraction and really letting the bottom ROM pull everything to near max ROM. the cable is set to lowest postion and makes a near 45deg. basically the same as a single arm dumbell row but instead of resting on a flat bench, you rest on a 45 deg bench with the resistance pulling from a 45 deg angle (instead of 90 deg down gravity with DB)
* i suck on the grip. my grip goes out near the 10th rep using 160lb (full stack is 200). these are controlled rows with top/bottom holds too.
* so i don't look like a turtle too much with a very big back, i do sets of x20 BW dips. thats all the chest i'm going to get. can't have too much back, but still need some form of muscle balance. lol

* that x16 on the seated calf raise must be a one-time fluke. i had no idea how i got pass 10 reps with the holds on that one because i'm barely getting the 10th rep holds this time. must have been the 16x4 gastroc work on the previous workout.

Form Check - new shoes. nike romaleos volt - olympic 2012 release

this is my top set of 405. just realized it can be 135-225-315 because the vid is too flat. don't care.
no time to edit. suck it up and watch the whole thing. there is a single rep squat there somewhere.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7gI2-usvio" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7gI2-usvio</a>

vid also of my back routine - standing single arm low cable row. this +  curl bar head supported rows at home. the more back the better.

your knees way in front of your toes, isn't that terrible for the knees?  for me, that would make my knee quite sore/painful after lifting.

yes. it puts a lot of stress to the knees. with proper adaptation by using sensible load on the bar (+rest +food.. etc), you will make the muscles surrounding the kness a lot stronger in response to the exercise. thats how you get stronger and not get broken.

the stabilizing effect of the non-pulling arm allows you to use weights that will give the back muscles some decent resistance.

- 4x45lb x10
- 5x45lb 10,10,16,16

BW Dips
- 30,30

* will only lift 1x today due to work schedule. soleus getting strong again. will bring lifting gear to work just in case i have some time before mid-night lunch. probably skip it today.
* will log the BW dips just to make sure i don't over do it again and break something like a few months back (may 2012) - some small right inner pectoral muscle got strained because i did a full ROM with a bit of speed IMO while i was still cold + the repetitiveness of 30x2 most of the time.
* my one hand standing low cable row is now at 160lb x10. +40 more and i'll max the stack. probably just go for reps on this one while going heavier on my head supported curl bar rows. grip still sucks but don't want to use the straps. can't have too much forearms too - i do my curl bar rows with an open thumb for more forearms. sometimes, i do the warmups with partially opened grip. those really get my forearms boss.

* no sleep, no strong diet. 385 was easy. lost interest in the 405 after the standing with the weight part did not feel solid. not enough stomach mass to keep everything solid. too empty but can't eat too much post workout today because of possible food induced sleep when im about to start work.

How have you dealed with the eggs on your spine produced by squating?
