20@60kg ( -5 kg ) , ( +2 reps )
-Decided to change ramping and up the top weight to the milestone-ish 100kg.
Got it at first rep but missed depth on the other two. I'll take it. Counted wrong on the back-off, wanted to use 70. Duh!

20 April 2017

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours half court basketball.
Again, mediocre endurance , very good physical game/strength.
But this time I was able to get some jumps in after a nice pick-up warmup: Shocked!!! Extremely smooth and efficient plant/takeoff in all attempts, somehow able to transfer power from the gather to the toes, like back in the good old days. Easy 10'4'' ( 29'' ) dropsteps, easy 10'5'' ( 30'' ) off all approaches and a couple of 10'6'' off 1-2 steps. 10'6''!!!! 31'' !!!!!!! After not having jumped for idk, 6, 8 months??? WTF!!!

A lot of work and life plus a one-week business trip derailed me. Back at it.

9 May 2017

Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

ATG PAUSED SQUAT:
5@20kg

PAUSED BENCH PRESS:
5@20kg

-Never did paused bench > 50kg. Was planning to do just normal reps at top set, but surprise, got it nice and easy. This is some kind of lame  :personal-record:

DEAD-HANG PULLUPS:
7@BW
6@BW
6@BW
6@BW

-Never done 5 sets in dead hang pullups i think,  so 31 reps total are another lame  :personal-record:

Not bad at all for a full 3 weeks off, expected much worse.
