Body composition measurements:

Net morning weight : 82.3kg / 181.4lbs ( +0.3kg )
Waist : 85.5cm / 33.66'' ( same )

Online bodyfat estimation : 14.5% , ( -0.1% ) , lifetime :personal-record:
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 15% , ( +0.2% )
AVERAGE bodyfat estimation : 14.75% , ( +0.05% )

Previous:
Net morning weight : 82kg / 180.7lbs
Waist : 85.5cm / 33.66''

Online bodyfat estimation : 14.6% , ties last week's lifetime :personal-record:
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 14.8% , 0.6% higher here, oops!
AVERAGE bodyfat estimation : 14.7% , +0.3  >:(

Hm.
Waist is the same, although I am a bit heavier, so that is good. I look the same or a bit better, also good. Online bf% estimation keeps improving, great!.
But the BI scale keeps negging me. Fuck the scale, it is the less accurate and reliable from the others.
Still, i hear it loud and clear, it may not be an accurate measurement but even as a rough indicator i gotta keep an eye at what happens there.

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?

Do you weigh yourself first and then measure your waist? I know there would be a strong tendency to pull the tape tighter to convince yourself you're not getting fatter when weight goes up. I wouldn't use waist circumference as my main measurement unless I had a really dependable technique or someone impartial was taking the measurement..
Goals: Cutting to 6-8% bodyfat

^Good point.
I am at the other side of the river, i am the guy who would let the measure too loose to make sure i am not cheating.
I have developed a technique that is pretty consistent. I let all the air out and then flex my abs. That way i can't suck in, neither get too loose. And i tighten the measure to the point that it starts pushing in the side fat ( love handles ). I let it looser, then pull tighter, do a few iterations to find the exact same sweet spot that it barely pushed some fat in.
As i said again, i don't care that much about either the waist/height/weight calculation number or the BI scale reading. I use both of them together with the mirror test as an overall estimation. All of them combined let you know pretty well where you are heading to.
I think it works well.

Bodyweight@session : ~83.75kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

GPP PHASE - Workout #12

HIGH BAR PAUSED FULL SQUAT:
10@65kg ( -10 kg )
10@65kg ( -5 kg )
10@65kg
10@65kg ( +5 kg )
-There you go, 65kg is a nice solid base for 4x10 paused.
Was still very hard, this never gets easy. As the weight gets lighter i subconsciously pause longer so the latter reps are always hell.
Still, as stated previous week, this is a good base to build up from.

CHINUPS:
PULLUPS:
10@BW
10@BW
8@BW ( -1 rep )
8@BW ( +1 rep )
-Bleh, got confused and did pullups instead of chinups. No big deal, i do each once per week so will pick up chins on Monday.

DIPS:
10@BW
10@BW
10@BW
9@BW
-Same with last time.

LEG PRESS CALF 'RAISE':
12@220kg ( +20 kg ) , ( +2 reps )
11@220kg ( +1 rep )
11@220kg ( -20 kg ) , ( +1 rep )
-Found my solid base here too, adding weight when i hit 3x12.

10@55kg ( +2,5kg )
9@55kg ( +2,5kg ) , ( -1 rep )

-Great for my standards.

CHINUPS:
10@BW
10@BW
9@BW
8@BW

Gonna give both a couple more sessions to get 4x10 and then will move to weighted even if i can't get 4x10.

20@70kg ( +5kg ) , ( +5 reps )
19@70kg ( +5kg ) , ( +4 reps )

1 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~84.25kg , oops!
Soreness : hamstrings and glutes a bit, calves torched
Injuries/aches : none

GPP PHASE - Workout #14

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT:
MSEM : 6x1@100kg , 45 seconds rest between reps.
-Switched to MSEM instead of 3RM , this combines more intensity with less fatigue, let's see how it carries over to the court.
Finally felt very good with squat, progress feeling. 100kg was very solid form, not heavy on back, even kinda fast too.

DUMBBELL NEUTRAL GRIP SEATED OHP:
10@18kg each hand  ( +2kg per hand )
10@18kg each hand  ( +2kg per hand )
9@18kg each hand  ( +2kg per hand ) , ( -1 rep )
8@18kg each hand  ( +2kg per hand ) , ( -2 reps )
-Very strong, i would be happy with 4x8, those DBs are getting heavy!

BICEPS DUMBBELL CURL:
12 each hand @ 16kg
12 each hand @ 16kg
10 each hand @ 16kg
-Same with last week. Had better control at first 2 sets but run out of gas again at the last.

TRICEPS ROPE PUSHDOWN:
12@25kg ( +2.5 kg ) ,
11@25kg ( +2.5 kg ) , ( -1 rep )
10@25kg ( +2.5 kg ) , ( -2 reps )
-Very hard but strong.

SEATED WEIGHTED CRUNCHES MACHINE:
20@105 lbs ( +5 lbs )
20@105 lbs ( +5 lbs )
20@105 lbs ( +5 lbs )
-Great.

ABS COASTER MACHINE:
20@BW
20@BW
20@BW
-Didn't add weight because, i should have added, kinda easy.

STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
30@25kg
30@25kg
-Did some high-rep-light-weight stuff to make DOMS go away faster.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :

3 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : calves still very sore, little sore biceps, shoulders and abs, little tight quads
Injuries/aches : none

1.5 hours full court basketball.
I-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e endurance!!! I dare to say that endurance-wise this was the best bball session of my life.
Was fresh to run first at the fast breaks even at the end, couldn't believe it!
Vert felt ok. I did one rim jump in the end, ultra fatigued, still got 10'4'' ( 29'' ) from a dropstep.
On the bad side, my game situation reaction time was terrible. Mostly at rebounds, from thinking to jumping there was a huge lag.
What can you do, it seems like my age is catching up with my CNS. Or just a bad timing day, who knows.

Bodyweight@session : ~83.75kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

GPP PHASE - Workout #15

I missed Saturdays volume paused squat workout so instead of picking up today rdl+lunges i did this hybrid thing:

HIGH BAR PAUSED FULL SQUAT:
10@67,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
10@67,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
-Very solid, depth, pause, form, everything.

ROMANIAN DEADLIFT:
8@90kg ( +2,5kg )
8@90kg ( +2,5kg )
-Very strong here too, grip also keeping up with progress.

PAUSED BENCH PRESS:
10@55kg
10@55kg
10@55kg ( +1 rep )
9@55kg ( +1 rep )
-Great.

CHINUPS:
10@BW
10@BW
DEAD HANG CHINUPS:
7@BW
6@BW
-As i have said again, this bar that i do chins and pullups is low, i touch my feet on the ground at the end of ROM.
I do not push up with legs but i still release the tension. I relocated bars to make them dead hang and bam, so much harder.
Sticking with the dead hang ones of course.

STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
20@70kg
20@70kg ( +1rep )
20@70kg ( +1rep )
-Great.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :

8 October 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~84.25kg
Soreness : hamstrings, quads, chest, traps, lats
Injuries/aches : none

GPP PHASE - Workout #16

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT , MSEM:
1@102,5kg ( +2.5 kg )
1@102,5kg ( +2.5 kg )
1@102,5kg ( +2.5 kg )
1@100kg
1@100kg
1@100kg
-102,5 got too heavy on third rep, had to go back to 100 for the rest.
Not sure if unrecovered from Monday squatting ( quads did hurt on eccentric ) or just not strong enough. Progress anyway so cool.
Also, the difference 2,5 kg make, damn. 102,5 kg=almost fail, 100kg=hard but solid lift. Weird. Maybe mental.

DUMBBELL NEUTRAL GRIP SEATED OHP:
10@18kg each hand
10@18kg each hand
10@18kg each hand  ( +1 rep )
9@18kg each hand  ( +1 rep )
-Very nice.

BICEPS DUMBBELL CURL:
12 each hand @ 16kg
12 each hand @ 16kg
12 each hand @ 16kg ( +2 reps )
-Got my 3x12 but barely, not bumping up to 18kg DBs yet.

TRICEPS ROPE PUSHDOWN:
12@25kg
12@25kg ( +1 rep )
11@25kg ( +1 rep )
-Very hard but strong.

SEATED WEIGHTED CRUNCHES MACHINE:
20@110 lbs ( +5 lbs )
20@110 lbs ( +5 lbs )
20@110 lbs ( +5 lbs )
-Great.

ABS COASTER MACHINE:
20@BW+2,5kg  ( +2.5 kg )
20@BW+2,5kg  ( +2.5 kg )
20@BW+2,5kg  ( +2.5 kg )
-Very hard.

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : sore shoulders and abs, tight/'heavy' quads
Injuries/aches : none

1.5 hours full court basketball.
Very good endurance. Not incredible like last time but still very good.
Very good vert too, getting consistent 10'5''/30'' off two steps.
Gotta throw more jumping in, i am setting as a ( motivating ) mini goal to get to 31'' consistent / 32'' max until Christmas.
