-On the process of getting a good feel of how to progressively overload that 5x5-ramp-up scheme. One way is hit the top set, other is squeeze the others closer to top weight. Needs some AREG. E.g. in squats i can keep pushing the top set now, in bench it is harder so i have to push the ramping ones. Its all fine as long as the green numbers show up in every exercise.

7 September 2017

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : glutes, 'mid' quads, shoulders, biceps. all minor
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
First cardio-ish physical activity since my last bball session, 20 April!!!!  :o :o :o :o :o
As expected and as stated earlier n the journal, fitness level was horrific, as bad as it gets.
Other than that i felt very strong in physical game, had an explosive first step, was rather fast and had good vert ( did just one dropstep DLRVJ that i got 10'5''/30'' easy ).
But i am getting gassed out so fast and so intense that i am totally worthless on court, the above qualities last too little.
So my muscles are at great shape but my cardio is at the worse ever. Well , at least the latter is easy to improve, so i just gotta go get it.

14 September 2017

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : glutes a bit
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Legs too heavy from working both two previous days. Generally the same. Good strength, good speed, horrible fitness. Somewhat improved but still bad. No jumps.

I need to emphasize in my fitness improvement. I love basketball and i am at a very good place strength&lean-wise, i could enjoy my on court time much more and i can't.
I must add HIIT sessions.
My training schedule is:
Monday weights, Tuesday off , Wednesday weights, Thursday basketball , Friday off , Saturday weights, Sunday off.
I need my Friday and Sunday offs. I should add cardio work on Tuesday. And then also Saturday, which is between off days so i can afford to tax me a bit more, do some HIIT stuff before weights.
Any other ideas always welcome.

Haven't done this workout for 3 weeks so stayed at same loads. Happy surprise, both push-pres and half-squats were very easy and solid.
Feel too small to progress, want to add some mass on me, not anything crazy just a couple of kilos, i tend to feel/operate great overall around 87kg/190lbs.

MOAR MIRIN.

 :strong:

also, how the F do some people do 20+ (1+ sec paused) dead hang? lmao. who knows maybe you'll get there eventually, seems really hard to me. would be sick if you got to 15 dead hang. For me, arms/lats just die out & don't recover. Imagine i'd need to add weighted variations to really try and bump that up, because i guess it's just taking too much strength to knock out each rep, even though they feel light/smooth initially.

pc!
