CURRENT ACTIVITY LEVEL AND/OR TRAINING PROGRAM:about to finnish smolvo squat routine ( the intense phase )
nice, are you looking to peak vert soon or.. ???
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CURRENT DIET:summer was extreme high calorie (5000-10000)...bout to change diet up to clean up a bit.
what's your body fat %? 5000-10000 is a huge kcal intake, i doubt it would be balanced off equally by your activity level.. so did you put on some fat or what?
IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES:depends I would like to play basketball 6x a week but since it zaps my strength and slows progress, I am prolly only gonna play on sunday nights with some pretty decent competition.
how long do you normally play for? 6x/week is alot, for sure, when trying to gain strength/power, but 2-3x/week with one day dedicated to alot of bball, with the other 2 days very short and intense, should work out pretty well.. i mean on the short days it could literally be one game and that's it.
as far as training goes for you, I would imagine peaking vert would require a few things:
- leaning up a bit, rotating kcal intake
- maintaining strength + reducing fatigue: reducing volume but keeping intensity high, incorporating reactive exercises (double leg bounds, pogos) & explosive exercises (rea squat or jump squat)
if you're jumping near 40 right now with your added strength/weight, you should be alot closer to 45 as you lean up, maintain that strength, incorporate some reactive/explosive work, and get even more physically fit (jumps/sprints/ball).
peace man
