Always been a fan of rockets and space travel.

So anyway, let's talk about the inflaton quantum field in the early universe.

4/12/15-

No training

5/12/15-

Spent 3 hours on the flowrider with a few of my mates. Basically a stationary wave. Looks like surfing but is a lot more like snowboarding. Shoulders are super tired afterwards from falling a heap.

6/12/15- High Frequency Program (15's baby!- 12pm)

No warm up

Front Squat-
bar x 10 (paused), 60 x 4
15 x 2 @ 85 (EMOM)

Deadlift- 
60 x 5, 100 x 3
15 x 1 @ 130 (every 30s)

Standing Press-
bar x 10
8 x 2 @ 45 (EMOM)

Chins-
bw x 5, +10 x 3, +14 x 2, +20 x 2, +24 x 1 (was using KBs instead of plates hence the weird weight progressions)

3 min handstand entries practice including 1 freestanding hold of 6s (PR)

10 min stretching and out.

Upper back is fried from FS. Had great depth and felt pretty good all the way to the end.

07/12/15-

No training today. Am sore all over. Will do some rolling/stretching/SMR tonight

So I'm guessing that's 15 sets of 2 reps for 85kg on the front squat?

Yep. Based on the Justa method. Monday is 3 sets @ 70% and it increases by 2 sets every day to Sunday is 15 sets @ 70%. Upper back was fried but legs felt pretty good. The deadlifts that followed took care of the rest of the legs  ;D

Found this earlier in relation to the Justa method. What I do is a variation of given the 2 reps instead of just singles.

08/12/15 High Frequency Program

Completely slept through my alarm so ended up training at 7.30pm. Probably a sign that sleep was more important than the gym. Was completely limited on time though.

Hang Clean-
Bunch of reps up to 50kg

Back Squat-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 3, 120 x 1, 130 x 1 (hard), 140 x F (belted up for the first time ever and wasn't into it at all. Only got as far as a quarter squat and pulled out.)

Need to fix my back squat form...again. Form is great up to 100-110 and then it just goes to shit. Lost huge amounts of depth. Crap.
Probably need to back squat more than I've been doing lately though. Then again, maybe I just front squat and leave it to that. Who knows.

as for putting on the belt out of nowhere .. dno, i'm not a fan of it. High frequency squatting itself should make the bar feel lighter. Whether or not your lower body can lift it out of the hole is another question. High frequency squatting should do wonders for your back/core/etc.

If your form goes to shit after 110 kg but you still want to go heavier, you can transition into half squats.. but you have to literally change the exercise in your mind. I would also hit a "repeat" single at the last weight you just lifted deep, but with the higher depth (half) before adding more weight to the bar. I wouldn't add more weight until that feels comfortable form-wise, then it is safe to move up. But you definitely don't want to perform heavier half squats if your half squat form is crap too, that's definitely not safe. At that point it's just stay at your heaviest weight with great form (+ ~0-10 lb) and hit several more singles.

my 2 cents

Good points. I put the best on almost half heartedly and had no confidence going into the lift. It was just beyond a quarter squat when I pulled out. As to the belt itself I think I'm inbetween sizes. I couldn't get either the M or L to go tight enough. I may need to go the synthetic/velcro option.

The more I think about it the more I think I need to do more reps at the lower weight and gradually build from there. Also I've been given some advice to do some deadbugs prior to squatting for some help with midline control. I also need to do some work on the old ankles too.

My high frequency program hasn't been so high frequency this week. Struggling to get out of bed in the morning which is no doubt linked to my shitty diet atm.

Trained hapkido yesterday. 2 hours of kicking and kick blocks. Shin vs elbow is not fun. Meant to absorb contact on arm but we missed a few times and I have limited movement in my left arm and some massive bruises on my right shin to show for it.

Also right at the end of the class I did something to my right knee. Just getting up from being thrown and the knee clunker and clicked several times. No pain but it feels a little unstable. I have a physio appointment on Tuesday so will get him to check it out. Getting somedecent pain at the top ofy calf but that's about it.
