Mild drained feeling. Sore posterior chain and calves, but quads not all that sore for some reason.
Maybe all the quad push ISOs in the stretch range have helped here, which is like a 50% ROM couch stretch.

Achilles felt a lot better after yesterday's submax calf raises, but still sore when walking.
Yet no pain when doing bounces with heels off the floor

So I was browsing Instagram and saw this post
This guy appears to live in my city and the Auburn PCYC indoor BBall court in the post, allow you to adjust the height of the rims yourself with a pole lying around on the courts...
This court is about a 30 min drive from my place. And only $8AUD casual visit price

So an option in future for low rim dunking on a proper indoor court!

Nice 375! That explosiveness for a weight that heavy and lack of more serious form breakdown will hopefully carry over to court movements well.

Ive been thinking as squat gets to a certain strength level (maybe like 2x bw or more), upper back might become a more obvious limiting factor and because of that carryover to court movements might taper off, because its increasingly difficult to overload the legs. So from that perspective it might be a good thing that you train both high and low bar because one of them might be more specific to court movements for your characteristics and when upper back does become more of a limiting factor: the carryover drop off might happen later on for one of the variants over the other.

Yeah, my upper back, and QL are my limiting factors right now.
My QL gets trashed after jumps, especially the right side. Likely due to how I land, sideways due to planting like that.

And I also lean quite a bit forward when jumping and landing now - more like a low bar squat
Which does reduce stress on the patella tendons
Compared to before where I would landing upright and stiff legged, which overloads the patella and achilles too much.
Hence my current tendon issues

Aches all over, but abs the most sore

A little tired - a bit more sore feeling in upper body than yesterday - Sore abs, lats, posterior shoulder, erectors

Still not feeling all that fresh for BBall/jumps, so will make changes this week

On the plus side - problem areas, left lower peroneal tendons, left foot plantar fasciitis, left patella tendon, right lower sartorius and plantaris are no longer issues.
ISOs do work.

Did 10 max effort single leg jumps, and they appear to be better, almost matching my standing vertical now.
And no left patella tendon pain, plus feet, ankles feel strong and locked up.
This is probably the highest stress for my left patella tendon, and it's tolerating it well
2 weeks ago it was still twinging.

No pain from patella, and achilles from the jumps, landings and short run ups.
Only a dull ache from lower left sartorius tendon area. Right side was pain free.
Achilles still ache on slow jogs and cold walking

Erectors really sore, followed by adductors and glute medius.
Must be from the suitcase carries....

Achilles feel better than yesterday, especially left side

Decided to take a complete break from lower body weights this week to get fresh. Been a while since I took a break from squats.
But will keep the SSB ISO calf raises in.
That will mean 12 days off any heavy squat by this Sunday's jumps... should result in some gains

I still do not know if the non weighted ISOs will have any negative fatigue, speed, and power effects. But I will keep them in to for tendon and health reasons

Undecided on upper body stuff, but will definitely drop rows that load the posterior chain, and feel taxing to do

I also took a diet break last week, hence the jump in bodyweight.

Erectors much less sore, but left side still a bit achey. Right QL still a bit beat up.

Achilles feeling the best so far, since flare up from sprints 2 weeks ago, big drop in waking cold walking pain

Quads felt deep down sore during the soft tissue work, so it looks like the ISOs do cause a fair amount of fatigue and muscle damage
Will take at least a days rest from them before Sunday's jump session

Both achilles much better than yesterday - crazy, unexpected with all the reactive work I did yesterday.
It was a gamble that payed off

Damn, big increase in raw quad strength since dropping squats.
Heaviest weight by far on leg extension holds since months ago. And no pain or discomfort on the patella tendon.
45kg is Right on the load limit of this attachment, so I will cap it at 40kg, and just push against a strap to make it harder in future.

That tells me I need to deload squats more often....

Friday 16th December 2022

Mild to moderate aches all over. Adductors, hamstrings, glutes, erectors and biceps the most. Did not expect that.
Starting to get that loose zippy feeling, which I haven't had in ages...

Total rest today, since I might do my BBall/jumps session tomorrow instead of Sunday as 50% rain forecast for then
But I may just do some Sartorius and achilles ISOs tonight

Bodyweight dropping down again. 87.5kg upon waking
Currently trialing the Macrofactor app, which has my TDEE at 2723 calories and dynamicly updates it everyday.
I input the past 90+ days of data from the other free app, daily weight and calories, and Fitday on my PC that I use for my food logging
It even detected my change in training, since dropping the long weights sessions, and the drop in TDEE. And then a small rise when I walked more this week
Seems pretty accurate, and the food logging on it is very good.
Now I can scan barcodes and log my food on my phone in the kitchen instead of memorizing to put it on my FitDay PC app.

The free TDEE Calculator app I currently use has my TDEE between 2400 and 2711 depending on the number of days used to calculate - 40 to 65
So it's not that useful after all... It only works when you have a steady food and macro consumption.
Going from low carb to high carb with the water weight shifts throws it out bad
And my Mi Band 6 and Garmin Vivofit 3 and 4 fitness bands are pretty off the mark, but useful for step counts and as a general watch and activity timer
