25 June 2010

Weight@session: ~197
EXPLOSIVE BLOCK B, Strength workout.

SQUATS:
1x5@209lbs.
1x5@254lbs ( parallel box squat )
2+0+1@297lbs ( HUGE PR! )
I planned to do parallel box squats@275 that was my PR. But 254 felt too light so i got greedy.
First 2 reps were half squats ( 2'' above parallel ) , then i went parallel ( box ) , failed to rise , sat there 20secs ( with 300lbs on my back ) , retried and got it up. Crazy shit...

BSS
1x6@176
1x6@198
1x5@231 ( HUGE PR here too! )
Crazy stim effect from squating 297 , 198 was light as a feather , i was actualy laughing lifting them. Very weird feeling!

CALVE RAISES:
3x12@330
Took those very easy because right ankle was bugging from the dunks.

Yes , pretty stupid trying to take PR from 275lbs above parallel to 297 parallel. Lucky bastard not to have any consequences. Never again such stupidity!!! Lower back sore today , feeling is similar to whenever i PRed on deadlifts. Nth much though...
Thanks for the congrats.

Back still bugging but much much less , like 1/10.
Right ankle also 1/10.
Wanted to do sprints+jumps today but decided to give back+ankle a bonus rest.

-7 Day Vertical Jump Cure routine.
-My usual lower body stretch routine.

Extra goal for new week : lower calorie intake.

Yes , thanks. Jumping PRs sequence looks sooo logic ,they dissapear while bulking and then they appear on a weekly basis ( explosive phase ).
July = peak block + lean down + GMNDFDSNGHHHH$@#$@@#@#$@@ #$ :D :D :D

Nah , no time, jumps are scheduled for Thursday. If only June had 31 days... LOL

Speaking of peaking workouts... and jumping PRs...

I'll  be changing only the "main" excercise in the peak block , creating those 3 workouts (A/B/C ) that ill be cyclying.

A, B, C : 3/4x5 27'' DJs

A: squat MSEM 3x2 @ ~80-85% ( buffer for stim )
B: squat 4x3 1/4 squats @110-120%
C: speed squat MSEM , 8x1@70-80%

A-B-C : BSS MSEM 2x2 , ~100%

A-B-C : Calves 3x12/15

Question 1 :
Whats the best timing for a jump/dunk session after those kind of workouts? I mean i know im fresh all week with them, but when is the max stim effect? 48 or 72 hours later?

Question 2 :
How often should i do them? Shall i go every 4-5 days or stick to 1xweek?

A & C would be best with 1-2 days of full rest before jumping.. B would definitely need 2 full rest days imo.. so with A & C i would play it by feel a bit, C would definitely be the one i'd go 1 day rest with.. so do it like this:

A, rest, rest, JUMP, rest, B, rest, rest, JUMP, rest, C, rest, JUMP, repeat

that would be my initial 'flow'.

you could condense it a bit just to test it out, maybe on second cycle through then go back to first cycle.. condensed:

A, rest, rest, JUMP, B, rest, rest, JUMP, C, rest, JUMP, rest, repeat

those two cycles through would be nearly a month of training.. should work pretty good.

Yup , its dropping! :D
I had a 7-10 days lag from when i stopped big eating , weight wouldn't drop although i was dieting, must have been the water , maybe some lag in hormonal signaling too...

I also lowered caloric intake a bit last week, but still nothing too much.
Now "low eating days" are ~1500Kcals , "big eating days" ~2500 , week = 2 big - 5 low
Before it was low ~1800 , big ~3000 , week = 3 big / 4 low
Bulking was : low ~2000 , big ~3500 , week = 4 big / 3 low.

I'm curious to see how weight reduction will impact my vert , both height and feeling.
Minimum allowed weight = 185.
