Bodyweight@session : ~87.5kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

HANG POWER CLEAN
5@22,5kg
5@32,5kg
3@42,5kg
3@52,5kg
2@62,5kg
-Third week in a row that i can't clean the third rep.
Still fine though as i am at lifetime PR levels. I keep getting power and form improvements, PRs will naturally slow down.

ATG PAUSED SQUAT:
LEG PRESS ( waitwhat?!?!?! ):
5@350lbs , paused
5@375lbs , paused
5@400lbs , paused
MEBM : 25@300lbs , no pause
-Squat rack was taken by two BB guys doing 10x10, smith was taken by another two guys doing infinite sets of calf raises.
Leg press was not that bad. I tried to use the 'equivalent' load of the squats I'd do, so ~80kg+BW for the paused reps and ~60kg+BW for the MEBM.
Turns out paused reps were much easier than squats, MEBM was harder. Whatever, its not like I'm leg pressing again.

BENCH PRESS:
5@65kg
5@65kg ( +1 rep )
4@65kg
15@52,5kg ,  ( +2,5 kg )
-Nice.

DEAD HANG PULLUPS:
7@BW
7@BW
6@BW
LAT PULLDOWN : 15@160lbs ( +1 rep )
-Nice.

PAUSED STANDING CALF RAISE ( 1:1:5 ):
8@BW+85kg ( +1 rep )
8@BW+85kg
8@BW+85kg
-Nice.

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?

1,5 hours full court basketball.
Horrible endurance, running out of gas all the time. Expected a drop-off from not playing for 4 weeks, but not to that extent. Maybe just a bad day? Will see next week.

Decided to do a de-load this week. Not worn-out or anything, but it fits well : i am 9 weeks in already and we have two national days off this week. Then another 8 weeks till Christmas, so good timing.

In other news, body composition :
net morning BW ~85,7kg(190lbs) , waist ~89cm(35'') / bf online estimation&BI scale ~16,5%.
It is not bad, BUT, it is more or less the same with every other year. I expected better. I am stronger than ever. I look better too, combination of mass/fat is the best ever, but the measurements disagree. Now i know you can't really trust the waist/height calc and a BI scale. But they do give you a good indication. But this time i think the mirror test deviates a lot from them.
Not changing anything, just logging.

1½ hours full court bball.
Much better. Moving better, feeling more fluid, having MUCH better breaths. Still halfway to where i wanna be though.
Didn't test jumping at all. Didn't feel bouncy either. Got many blocks but that was more a matter of not being gassed out so i could chase more blocks than jumping high.

HANG POWER SNATCH (deload):
5@20kg
5@25kg
5@30kg
5@35kg
3@40kg
-Nice and easy.

SQUAT (deload):
5@20kg
5@40kg
3@60kg
2@80kg
1@90kg
1@100kg
1@110kg
2/3@120kg
-Was supposed to do 3x5@70kg paused but decided to semi-chase a 1RM.
110kg was awesome, definitely a 2nd rep in the tank and probably a third one too.
Lost the 120kg lifetime PR tie by a couple of inches depth. It was more a core than legs defeat. Went up easy and fast, just not deep enough.
Felt like i have it already with a heavy unrack potentiation but wanted to keep this a deload as planned so didn't retry.

SEATED NEUTRAL GRIP DB OHP:
12@18kg each hand ( -2 kg ) , ( +2 reps )

12@18kg each hand ( -2 kg ) , ( +3 reps )
12@18kg each hand ( -2 kg ) , ( +3 reps )
-The 20kg dbs were taken so went up in volume with the 18s.

SEATED REAR DELT FLY MACHINE:
12@65lbs
12@80lbs ( +15 lbs )
11@80lbs ( +1 rep )
-Very nice.

DEAD HANG NEUTRAL GRIP PULLUPS:
9@BW ( +1 rep ) , :personal-record:
7@BW
6@BW
NEUTRAL GRIP LAT PULLDOWN: 11@160lbs ( +10 lbs ) , ( -4 reps )
-Very nice except from the drop-set, where the 10lbs heavier felt like 50lbs heavier.

SEATED PAUSED CALF RAISE:
15@55kg
15@55kg
14@52,5kg ( +1 reps )
-I can go heavier but i keep increasing pauses and decreasing lowering speed. Think that's enough now, time to progress weight.

Gonna do a few modifications:
Since basketball is every Thursday, i am switching the leg main exercise like this : MSEM squatting goes from Saturday to Wednesday, RDLs to Monday and volume squatting to Saturday. That serves better squat breaks too.
Will be  add push-press. Wednesdays is the day i am not doing o-lifts, but i will add push press Monday that i don't have shoulders and move HPC to Wednesday.
So it is:
Monday : push-press , RDL , lunge, bench, pullup, standing calf
Wednesday :HPC, MSEM squat, hypers, upright rows, biceps, triceps,
Thursday : full court bball
Saturday : snatch, paused squat+MEBM, OHP, chinup, seated calf
Yup, beast schedule, nice.

Other than that:
Important tweaks:
-O-lifts : Keep doing them all year round, add snatches besides HPC.      V
-Pchain : i have been neglecting glutes work. Gotta keep regular with lunges/BSS.      X : steady RDL, added hypers, forgot lunges
-Core : constantly neglected. Must do as often as possible, abs and back work.      X , still neglected
-Stretch/SMR: Has to become a daily thing, it ain't that hard.      X , still neglected.
-Cardio : Also as much as possible, even LISS when beat from the weights, gotta stay as fit/lean as i can.      Improved, needs more.
-Jumps : I am never jumping enough, not even close. Must keep at it, even in the winter with SVJs/dropsteps/DJs at home.      X ,  neglected
-Upper : pump up the volume. Add an accessory exercise for every main lift i do.      V
-Nutrition : Moar protein. I am at ~100g on off days, 150-200 at gym days. Gotta add 50g to that.      V
-Sleep : I am a night owl. Always have been. Not gonna change. But i could just deal with it more active, try to go to bed earlier, every hour is a gain.      X , slipped back to staying up late, must fix.

Usual shit, doing good what i always do good and doing bad what i always do bad. Must see this as a self-discipline challenge or something. I don't trust me though, i bet i'll have the exact same report next month, idiot!

I'm no expert on this cause I pretty much do the same thing as you but have you heard of habit creep?

http://jamesclear.com/habit-creep

I'm working this on two fronts. Sleep and getting up early and SMR/mobility work. So far so good and I've been able to maintain and grow these areas little by little.

Good one, thanks. Ease into it, so simple. Of course i do the exact opposite, whenever i try to add something i go flat out/overkill mode. Interesting, will try to try.

1½ hours full court bball.
Endurance keeps getting better. But it is not even good yet. Bball is much more fun when you are not constantly out of breath though.
Vert, no rim jumps. Didn't feel bouncy at all so didn't bother.
Gym program change seemed to help, legs were much fresher now than previously. Maybe still i am pushing MSEM too much, going to 95% or so. Will keep it around 85-90 next time to see what happens.
Overall, I still have a long long way to where i want to be, as a combined bball and general athleticism status. Most probably not doable at all. But there i a good chance ahead, more info soon.
