Thanks man.
I was kinda expecting both.
I havent measured SVJ from 2 May when i did that 26,5''PR, i was sure i could beat it 5 months later.
As for the RVJ , my 33,5'' PR was set at 182lbs bodyweight , ~15%bodyfat and was 1 month away from the last heavy lift.
Last jumping session was at 192lbs bodyweight , ~18%bodyfat and right in the middle of a heavy lifting block.
But it still sucks! LOL

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?

14 October

Basketball training. Very hard again , full of intervals , minimum tactics
Did 3 max effort running jumps between drills , got ~29-30'' :-\


15 October

SQUATS : build up to 5-rep-max
1x10@33
1x6@77
1x4@121
1x3@165
1x3@187
1x3@209
1x5@231 ( +11lbs )
Form at the max squat was fair , depth was at least parallel but i was "goodmorning-ing" rising.
I am doing all the warmup sets in perfect form so i am allowing a little form breakdown to make it a true max , because when i keep my form perfect its is never a true max attempt.
Any comments on this? Should i stick to perfect form with less load or is this max pushing better?

BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT : 3x8 , 2x40lbs dumbells ( +10lbs total )

ya those online calculators suck.. calipers are the way to go.. since most people don't have access, just pinch your fat and look in the mirror ;)
