re: DLs, have you considered adding more high-rep grip/upper back work? like kroc rows, which matt krocapolish swears correlate directly to his pull.

have not thought of it. I use straps so i dont think grip training will help, though it'd be nice to have a stronger grip.
i dont think my upper back is whats limiting my deadlifts though. actually, how would i be able to assess that? maybe it is my upper back, who knows. Though my pendlay rows, cable rows, and back extensions have been improving.

It could also be that as my squat improves, it makes my deadlifts (later that same workout) harder since I squatted more weight.

Do you go with all out intensity every day? Or do you just squat what you can without putting so much of a grunt?

I read an interesting article on the bulgarian method that goes into some detail about the psychological effects of how hard you try to lift... they squat to a daily max WITHOUT any kind of mental arousal. the idea is that the CNS will not burn out if you are not very mentally aroused for your lifts, yet you are lifting 90% or more every day.

i cant find it now, but maybe youve heard of this? Related:

"In Squat Every Day, Perryman makes a compelling argument that, in many cases, the psychological stress of a workout contributes as much, if not more, to recovery debt than the actual workload of the physical activity itself."

Had to use the shitty squat rack today where the floor is slanted. It basically negated the effects of the heel life on my oly shoes. It was tough to squat there. Didn't feel like griding out a bunch of back up sets far off from my target 3x8 and having that demotivate me so... i cut it short at one back up set of 6. The 355x3 is close to my PR of 365x3 though!

In addition, my bench press is close to my PR of 200 x 10, 10, 8. So good to be entering PR territory again. Incline DB's are at a PR though :)

My deadlift has stalled for a while. They're tough. I'll worry about bringing up the back extensions first though, maybe it'll transfer over soon.

Also down to 193lbs now. Doing strict IF for the rest of this month. Not eating before 7pm on weekdays, no exceptions. It'll help curb my hunger.

Yea...kinda LBSS. But it doesn't feel right for me to say it :/ I feel like theres another level I can reach. Just need to figure out the combo for the lock thats on it!

literally just keep increasing your squat:bw ratio and keeping up with basketball/jumping. your explosion is thru the charts it seems. relative strength is more trainable than explosive ability, so youre in a good position.
i wonder how high you'll jump at 2.5x bw atg squat
