Think of adding some volume. Feel small, apetite feels like opening up like it always does when winter is coming ( man, why did you say that, we had forgotten we need to wait 1,5 year for next GOT season! ), i could use just a little more hypertrophy stimulus. But i like this ramping up to ~5RM i am doing, a lot. Might add a drop-set / high-rep finisher / however you wanna call it.

17 October 2017

Bodyweight@session : ~84,25kg , finally an increase
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

HANG POWER CLEAN:
5@20kg
5@40kg
3@50kg
3@60kg
2@65kg ( +1 rep )
-60 super smooth now. 65 nice too, 1 rep shy of all time PR.

ATG SQUAT:
10@20kg
5@40kg
5@60kg
5@75kg ( +2,5 kg )
4@85kg
10@60kg ( extra set )
-Top set smoother. Could grind a 5th rep but saved if for the finisher introduction. Not so good, expected ~13 , not bad either.

BENCH PRESS:
10@20kg
8@40kg
5@52,5kg
5@62,kg
5@67,5kg
13@50kg ( extra set )
-Very nice. Top sets more solid, finisher good too.

DEAD-HANG PULLUPS:
6@BW+5kg
5@BW+10kg
3@BW+15kg
10@BW
8@BW
-Swithced to weighted. Gonna do them like that , 3 ramping weighted sets then two BW finishers. Feels more aligned to the overall scheme too.
15kg was too heavy but i'll keep it, whenever i get 5 at that third set i will be upping, till then the previous sets loads stay the same in AMRAP fashion.

PAUSED STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
12@BW+80kg
12@BW+80kg
12@BW+80kg
-Should have upped.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : some chest, lats, abductors, glutes calves and quads. high-rep finishers work lol
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Better. Very strong for my weight & standards, i feel i am pushing people around like when i am in the high 80s BW. Kinda fast. Good vert, i see intimidation again in the opponents, they fear my block, i love that feeling.
But fitness is still mediocre so it is destroying my game. I gotta preserve all the time, skip plays etc. Well, can't expect anything better, i haven't run at all since forever, fitness won't improve by just planning stuff and never realizing them, i gotta run or live with being unfit, that's all to it.

HALF SQUAT:
5@65kg
5@75kg
5@85kg
5@95kg
5@105kg
-Same loads with last week that i added 5kg in every set. Very good here too.

DIPS:
10@BW
7@@BW+5kg
5@BW+10kg
4@BW+15kg
12@BW ( Season best )
-Very good.

DEAD-HANG CHINUPS:
10@BW , ties

6@BW+5kg
4@BW+10kg
3@BW+15kg
9@BW
-Weighted sets were all a bit harder than i wanted. Maybe i burned out PRing at first unweighted set.
On another note, OAC is sooo far away! Adding ~17% of my BW made 3 reps pretty hard. I gotta get to 100% plus the movement balance deficit. Most probably impossible.

PAUSED SEATED CALF RAISE MACHINE:
12@BW+62,5kg ( +2,5 kg )

seems like the adarq.org run squad is slowly forming, like you said.. bit by bit, until we're assembling a full fledged racing team.

running has like no barrier to entry .. which is cool. dunking (on 10' rims) has such an insane barrier to entry hah. so very different.

^I really want to! But currently it is too hard to find the time slot for it. Or , if you prefer, to be perfectly honest, hard to dedicate even more of my precious free time for this. Training is already #1 free time consumer by far, but can't make it exclusive. I could sacrifice a weight lifting day, but i love weights. I could run before/after weights. Or late night. Morning is out of the question, i am not that type. I'll think of something.

Beach stuff was strong too, could have heavier but did the same with last time in ultra solid controlled form so maybe even better.

Too much work, a couple of national off days, more derail, FML. Trying to save what i can. Good thing is that getting 2 workouts a week feels a failure.

Nothing interesting to report. Was sore from lifting. Was rusty too. Felt strong but not explosive. Fitness was ok but i was playing quite 'reserved', skipped many plays.

So i was short on time again and had to cut this workout in half. Skipped bench and pulls, will try to do them today.
One good thought was, make this permanent. Workout was getting too long after the high-rep-finishers addition anyway. That way I might add a couple of sets or exercises too, be able to do something extra like core or cardio, plus I am adding a training day, more stimulus, more results. But i am not sure i can be consistent with that, it adds up to 4 gym days a week. Id like it though. Lets see...

Best/most enjoyable bball session this season. Feeling very strong, taking body contacts like a boss. Somewhat faster. Couple of good jumps. Somewhat fitter, skipping much less plays.
Still long way to go to a level that i would be content with, but happy with the improvement(s).

Also, 4 workouts in a the last 4 days / 5 in the last 6 days. Woke up literally wrecked hahaha, but i love it.
