I can definitely hit a 405lb atg squat right now.
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljumpcalculator.html
^ puts me at a 34" vertical at 405lbs/199lbs (my current weight in bball gear).
that calculator... havent seen it in a while! used to correctly guess my vertical within an inch, and that's back when i was squatting parallel not ATG.

By the summer I hope to be squatting 440-455 max at a bodyweight of 195-200 in basketball gear. 2.25x bw atg squat.
I think it's a feasible goal. Just have to stay healthy and be consistent with my workouts.

Just ordered this scale for $30:

http://www.amazon.com/GoWISE-USA-Digital-Bathroom-Scale/dp/B00CZPF5L2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417445525&sr=8-3&keywords=weight+scale

Measures bodyfat% as well! I think that's pretty cool. I doubt it's accurate in that department, but the reviews show that its very accurate on bodyweight. So that's why I went for it. And $30 aint bad either.

I think I'll measure bf% every day in addition to my weight, out of curiosity. It'd be nice to see a trend over time.

Thinking of cutting and dropping maybe 4-5 pounds. Was 196lbs in no clothes right before lifting.

I need to buy myself a good scale and weigh myself every morning after a piss/shit.

Wasn't really feeling it this workout. Squats were tough. I used a different squat rack and the floor seems fucked up there. I felt like the floor was sloping down towards me, meaning my heels were lower than they should be. Squatting felt a little weird and like I was going super deep than usual, which should be impossible since I go ATG every time anyway. Still managed a small PR though.

I will add a set of 235x3 on the bench once a week until I get to 5 sets. The backup set will increase by 5lbs once I hit 12 reps.

This workout should have been done Sunday but I missed it. Didn't do the hanging leg raises because I want fresh abs for squats later today (Tuesday at time of writing). I'll do them today after my workout. Still on track, no other adjustments need to be made.

Bummed about the deadlifts. Its still a PR lol, but i think 365x6 is tougher than 370x5 anyway.

I will definitely get 370x6 next time though!



i had abs without flexing today (in good lighting)

i actually look built now, for the first time in my life. not just skinny and ripped.

Reasons for adding a back up set to my benches:
 - 6, 4, 3 is not enough reps. I need more reps.
 - Maybe it will spur some growth.
 - The improvements will be more granular. It's hard to go up a rep on a 5RM, but not so hard to go up a rep on a 10RM, for example. So if my back up set is improving every so slowly, it will keep me from getting discouraged. Which I already am because I was at 6, 6, 5 four weeks ago. FOUR WEEKS ago... 8 bench press workouts later, and no improvement yet???


Everything else is still improving though. I literally always stall on my bench at around this poundage.
Interesting to note that my incline DB benches aren't stalling.
