Good job ^^^

Do you go all out to failure on the chinups or do you stop a rep or two before that happening? If you do go close to failure, try stopping a rep or two before and see what happens.

When I do that I usually go instead of 7+5+3 with 6+5+5 or something like that, ending up with more total reps.

^Thanks man!
Good point , i do go to failure in all 'Lance-method' exercises first set and it does drain me for the following sets. I always wondered if i'd get more progress if i 'saved' 1-2 reps in the first set but i am still having constant and linear progress so i didn't change anything. I was thinking to implement 'saving' reps when i reach plateaus.

Yeah well Lance himself said that you're supposed to stop when the speed slows down/becomes a grinder.

true soreness is a bitch... ::)

gonna try some of that rest-pause stuff in a bit. haven't in a while, keeps things short while getting in good work.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Went in the park.
Not a jumps/dunks session , again mostly bball stuff , mobility/fitness and of course bball skills are the goals of those sessions.
As for jumps , hip/quad doesn't hurt but i can't do RVJs for shit! SVJs keep improving , today i was at 28,5'' but RVJs would be all around 30''. Mega fail , let's see if i will EVER do some stretching and foam rolling to help me recover!

Stop fooling around and acting like a noob , enter quad-recovery phase.
-NO SQUATTING!
-NO ME JUMPING!
-STRETCH/SMR!

Today i did a long lower body stretch routine and some retarded SMR using a bball.
Gonna buy a foam roller ASAP.

What about 100% hip extension activities (like straight leg deadlifts with a dumbbell) + calf raises?

Actually gonna do cleans/snatches as they don't seem to interfere, RDLs , will attempt normal DLs too and will do calf raises of course, just no squats and ME jumps as those seem to reflare the injury.

^Thanks!  ;D
Form 'felt' good. No grinders, feeling like not rounding back, no back stress during or afterwards. Of course you never know unless you film.
