Just saw a notice: The gym in the office will be shut down from May - Aug
 

for 3 months...I decided to Stop this Off season Routine (Pure plyometric/jumping). and get back to In Season (Weighted Plyo, Explosive Squat and Oly lift).
I will be visiting Canada in June for 3 weeks as well.  There will be planty of Gym-less weightless training in the months to come.  So better lift as much as I can now.

120325 Lunch Jump Session
Not much improvement.... Body feel stiff, especially neck and shoulder...
may be swiming can losen me up... trying to research online to see if swiming can enhance preformance in sport.

entropy who looks like he can't lift anything to save his life.. is stronger than you.
raptor.. who is always broken somewhere and is uncomfortable with anything with a barbell.. is stronger than you.

these guys are at 6 feet plus.

i'm your height but my standing reach is that of a 6 footer.
what you lucked out in body structure.. you have to make it up by getting so much stronger. you are doing it wrong.

swimming will improve your performance in swimming.

* got good sleep again. 8:30pm-1:30am-5:30am. my BW is staying in the 194s lately. i have to ride this out and wait until i start gaining weight again. top sets of 440x1 (~2.25BW) and backoff of 425x1 (2.2BW) repeatedly until i get to the dry 198BW. that makes these 440/425 a relatively easier lift (2.2BW / 2.15BW) and hopefully get some supercompensation going again.

* just did the squats in my company gym. too many people and felt lazy waiting to do my other lifts. will do them next workout
* 405x1 was very strong. i was at 195BW before the workout. did not have the confidence to put the 25lb in there at this weight. i paused the 440x1 like it was a warmup set.  could have had the 455x1. il still stick to the plan of waiting it out until my BW improves to the mid-high 190s.
* did not feel tired at all. i will eat stronger for the next 2 meals and at 5:00-6:00pm tmrw, if my BW improves, il go for the 455x1 12 of 24.

* not as sleep deprived as last week. got consistent 8:30-3:30pm sleep. not enough but not too little. form felt all right this morning. no muscle is fatigued. 1set for the other lifts helping a bit.
* will try to see if another set of nap this morning recharges me for the heavy top set.

*  did not get the 455x1. its not the BW. i'm consistently at dry 196-197 in the last few days. its not the lack of sleep. could be the irregular sleep pattern today but i've lifted good coming from on-off sleep like this. i got 455x1 top sets for 7 consecutive days a few weeks back. only thing different now is the other accessory lifts i've been doing. cut the sets to singles for the other things. will go deload with top sets of 440x1, 405 x1 x1 if i'm fatigued. will eventually stick with just the squats and ditch everything else.
* got the 440x1 today from a complete pause. did not really tire much after the missed 455x1. just like i said, if the bar did not go up explosively enough and slowed to a halt midway up, just ride it down and don't do anything stupid like fighting the weight.
* the eccentrics on my missed lifts are more or less the same pace. if a weight goes down too fast and almost uncontrolled (most likely due to fatigue), i don't even bother using energy to come up with a concentric effort. i just put it to the pins. vary rare but it still happens. most of the time, if the walkout feels like i'm carrying a weight thats 20-30lbs heavier than usual, i just put it back.

* recovered from my lack of sleep from thur and fri. it took that long for me to get my rhythm back. BW196-198 but quickly drops to 196s if i don't really focus on eating more.

Hey, when you were at my strength level ie 315-320 max squat... how long did it take u to get there?  and how long did it take u to go from 315 to 455?

2-3, 5-6 years.
