had fun completely breaking my forum today.. oh by fun i mean not fun.
^ the 515x2 was the heaviest partial reps i did at one point. have vid but no point in showing partials squats IMO - everybody can do them heavy anyway.
Looks like a good read. I need more cardio before I go to in-depth.
Here is tonights workout. I took the whole deload week off and didn't touch a weight, do cardio, or play ball. FML
8/3/12 Friday BW=159.4

squat 5x190, 5x215, 4x245

You should box squat like Lance said. Pay attention to the way it feels when lowering to the box and then try to achieve that same feeling w/a full squat.
Right now it looks like you're falling into the trap of using the mirror and safety rails to gauge your depth and achieving what you believe to be sufficient depth by lowering your upper body instead of sitting more into it with the hips.
It's almost impossible for my back to be not rounded, because I kind of have a hunch back from slouching a lot and genetics. I find it very hard to curve my back further than that. My lower back is flexible, upper back is not.
saw this today, i don't know if it's been posted before. but i thought it was insane; the speed, the plant, the jump, etc.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJzZ1Wf68C4
I thought that guy looked an awful lot like Tobias Harris. (The first guy who dunks). I ate dinner with him and some guys the other night. Cool dude.

[135x8][185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
Jump Squats - Light 20%
- 95 4x5
Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunks
* friday/sat/sun consecutive squat days and i was able to pause rep 405x1. they all felt the same. not very heavy but heavy enough that i know that 425x1 pause is going to be very challenging. BW still at 174lb (2.3BW Paused Squats). Will need a skipped day in between without a lot of max effort jumping to get into 425x1 Paused again (2.44BW). i will do that and tuesday - i will be strong again. will lower max height jump squat reps so i can repeat the training without it tiring me too much.
* 20% jump squats not for max height. did them for depth and smooth force absoption on the landings. did a pick up game and some SVJ dunks afterwards. this is a maintenance workout followed by a skipped day tomorrow. lots of whey protein, sleep and recovery cycling.
