Thanks both , very useful advice & article...
Ya , now i understand what it is. It is that "lag" that i see when starting / stoping bulking with heavy carbs... like there are ~6-7lbs that magically appear when you start bulking and magically dissapear when you start leaning...

yup, exactly..

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?

Body measurements
After ~6weeks of bulking.

Weight ( in the morning ) : ~195lbs , ( +7lbs )
Waist ( navel level , loose) : 36,5'' , ( +0,7'' )
Thighs ( about 3/4 from knee to hip flexor , flexed) : 26,2'' , ( +0,8'' )
Hips ( middle of butt , loose ) : 41,3'' ( +0,3'' ) , dont know if this is good or bad as hips have a lot of muscle and fat...
Biceps ( flexed ) : 15,8 , ( +0,3'' )
Calves : 15,35'' ( +0,35'' )

Bodyfat estimation : ~19%

Those +/- are compared to start of bulking , wich was after unloading and undereating for 10 days!
Comparison with end of previous bulking cycle :

Weight : +3lbs
Waist : +0''
Thighs : +0,2''
Hips : -0,7''
Biceps : +0,05''
Calves : +0,15''


Green = positive changes
Red = negative changes

Good shit!  Time to lean down now , its gonna be very easy at this bodyfat level, should see awesome results if i can keep this strength and lean to my normal bodyfat levels ( ~15% ).

Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48

Failed vertical jump testing & dunk session.

Reason 1 : 8 Degrees Celsium + wind + light rain.
Reason 2 : Weight with clothes = 199lbs.
Reason 3 : RVJ still fucked up , i feel totaly out of coordination, probably from excess bodyfat.

2x5 SVJ : getting steady 27'' , 0,5'' below PR.
2x5 RVJ : feeling like crap and getting 29''. Yup , just 2'' above SVJ , negative SVJ-RVJ gap PR!
No dunks attempted , '29 inches' and 'dunk' cant exist together...

not realy , actualy sometimes they burn more with shoes on ,if its not tied tight the foot slides inside the shoe.
btw i meant bilateral side-to-side ones, but ive done all combinations ( unilateral , bilateral , side-to-side, back-forth ) and they feel more or less the same.
also , barefoot =  no shoes , but i do wear socks.

Whatever that's a hell of a lot closer than i can get at the moment.

Its all about the reach.
I see in your log you are 71'' tall and your reach is 90''.
I am ~73'' tall and my reach is ~95'' , both in shoes.
5'' is a LOT!

Still , you are squating more or less the same with me,  being ~30lbs lighter and having ~8% less bodyfat.
Those should be giving you those 5'' IMO, maybe even more!
Have you tried any running jumps lately?



Somehow missed this before. I think I just got screwed on the elasticity gene. It's funny, I haven't been jumping hardly at all, which is probably dumb. I'm focusing instead on just building my strength up as much as I can at my current bw (don't want to bulk, even though I know I'd get stronger, because I honestly don't want to be any bigger than I am right now after eventually cutting). I figure I'll keep going on starting strength until I get to 3x5x315 in the squat, 5x370 in the dead lift, and then back way off on weight volume and start focusing on jumps, plyos and sprinting.

Still, I should probably be jumping a little bit now outside the depth jumps on non-DL days.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Well , i think that if your main goal is to improve jumping you should quite often practice jumping.
As for bulking etc , i was thinking 100% like you, but after 2,5 years of training i think i was wrong
Take a look at this , it's exactly about that theme: http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/relativestrengthmyth.html
I tried that on me , gained ~25lbs from August , bodyfat went from ~13% to ~19%.
Still , my running vert is the same ( and feels easier to get it ) and i PR'ed 1'' on standing vert, feeling easier again.
Currently trying to lean back to the middle ( -12 from now , +12 from August ) , i expect huge gains!
Just saying though , each one of us is different , you know better...
