the youtube embed button is missing so here's a link

Its missing here too for ages, you can use any other button and change the text in the brakets to youtube , e.g. use the Insert image buttong and replace img--->youtube in start and end brackets.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudrRT0s7_0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudrRT0s7_0</a>

But most important....

Hectic work week, till 9pm, every day. Forced deload/rest. Timing ok, i have 5 more weeks to go as hard as i can till Xmas.


15 November 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Just like last time, something was off again. A bit worse endurance. The same not fast and not quick. Still good strength and vert, strength was a bit better actually.
Its ok overall, much better than when i started in August, but this specific time with the deload i expected something better. Oh well, next time.

^^^ Thats true and i thought of it and implemented it in the past. There is a grey area though, between doing too much (fatigued) and too little (not prepared well) for 1RM, you gotta find the sweet spot. If i had to do a 1RM trial id do it your way 100%. But i like the current build up volume, with a daily max attempt, i would just like the daily max to be improving too. I think the 70kg wall is mostly mental though. I should detach myself from that, keep training and let it happen whenever it does, no rush, everything else is improving anyway. For now I'll replace the high volume drop sets with heavy near-max doubles&triples for starters. Thanks!!!

Soreness : deltoids (?) and glutes, minor

Something was off. A bit slower, slower reactions too, more easily fatigued. Strength and vert were good again though. Want to do rim jumps. Must remember next time.

-More progress, very strong. However 2 failed PR attempts were close but not that close.

BICEPS Z-BAR CURLS:
10@32,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
10@32,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
10@32,5kg ( +2,5 kg )

-Finally lost a rep. Very very strong though, fourth time in a row adding weight. Some ego pump from curling 10kg plates plus something (1.25kg , lol )

TRICEPS ROPE PUSH DOWNS:
10@120lbs ( +10 lbs )
10@120lbs ( +10 lbs )

-Reached limit strength here too. Still, very strong.

STATIONARY BIKE:
25 mins: 12km / 180kcal worth.
-Sweet sweat.

I need to find a way to break the 70kg plateau at HPCs, been stuck at it for ages. Checked log, last time i was in them again i was doing 65kg triples but still unable to to a single @70.
Volume dropsets like i do now are probably useless. Should do more near-max doubles and singles. Should also do some high pulls.
I like olifts very very much, i enjoy them, especially HPCs. And although it seems a very very long shot, I'd love to be able to clean 80kg.

Table is perfectly lined up here too, Windows 10 + firefox FWIW.
Getting enough protein in a normal grown up daily life is the biggest pain in the ass IMHO. One solution is cook massively when you find the time and frost it, microwave the portions you need when you need them. Other is find the junk foods stores/dishes that suit you well and are the least... damaging. Final solution, always have easy/fast sources in your house, to complement the normal lunch/dinner when needed. Boiled eggs (in 12s), peanuts, 1kg low fat yogurt pack, low fat chocolate milk, tuna cans, whole grain rusks. I guess you know already but sometimes its useful to share our... secret weapons haha!

It has to be the 400lbs deadlifts over the summer, not the 6'11'' height & 7'3'' wingspan.

Don't start a flame war, I'm just kidding. Giannis is a beast of nature but also has an outstanding work ethic and that shows in the court too of course.

1 November 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : glutes, traps, some shoulders and triceps
Injuries/aches : don't remember

1½ hours full court basketball.
Little improved endurance, no gassing out this time, there were tired sections but not totally gassed out.
All else the same, which is good all around for my standards. Some short dist HIIT would help now but i don't see it happening.
Vert was springy again, it has to be the power cleans.
