Didn't feel all that strong today and form wasn't great. Hip drive seemed to be broken, which made me use my quads a lot more causing a pretty pronounced sticking point on every set and rep-----Tuesday 18th November - Block 12 - Week 1 - Day 1 - Workout B Slept in an hour too much, so I had hurry...

The warmups felt pretty crappy, but when I walked out with 315lbs it felt "light" and the first few reps shot up like nothing, like speed weight. I had to resist the temptation to bounce up and down with it, kept the reps and eccentrics nice and controlled. Form on 2nd set was sloppier, the first...

Video of vertical jumps, and some 3 step jumps etc, plus main squat setStarting a new block today - deload a bit, cut down the squatting volume so that my system can rebound back and jump at my full potential. Because of all the fatigue from the higher volume/tonnage of squatting from the last...

WOot! I'm officially stronger than I have ever been at any bodyweight!365lbs felt pretty good on my back, and not too wobbly walking it out.That 4th rep was the slowest rep for me ever, strained about 1.5 seconds at the sticking point, and felt like failing, but somehow managed to push harder and...

I had thought about deloading today and just doing 2x3 with 65-70%, but I felt strong, so I canned that and did something else! 350lbs felt pretty solid, a lot more stable walking out weights over 315lbs now. Getting stronger and stronger, 5lbs a week, just gotta keep it goingEven though...

I had planned to do 2 sets of 295lbs and try and get at least 8 reps, but the warmups felt so much "lighter" and solid that I decided to take a crack at 335lbs. While it felt good, I wasn't much stronger than when I did 325x6, two weeks ago. Although having 5.5 hours sleep last night doesn't...

This is what my other workout looks like. I still only do weights once a week, and alternate between 2 different workouts.Instead of 2x6 on squats on this day I did before, I do 6 sets of 2. Same volume, which falls within the Prilepin chart rep guidelines for the 80-90% intensity range, but much...

making consistent progress :)I think this is the best relative strength I've ever had. And only squatting once a week :0Rep calculator puts my max at 365lbs. Up 10lbs and damn close to double bodyweight. Enough strength for a 31-32 inch vertical jump now I think, and 35-36 from a run.-----Tuesday...
