* 345 singles x10sets today - i was trying to go all the way to 20 but got sleepy after a while. these are all paused reps. i can recover from these and still lift later. i might skip the 2nd lift today because of some work things. did not force doubles today because i don't feel like it. no soreness even with these accumulating tonnage - just sleep deprived i guess.

1/4 Jump Squats
Speed / Recovery work - light
- 50lb x10 x10 x10 x10

* stayed at home. won't go to gym for jump squats because il eventually end up doing heavy paused reps squats again and get tired working up to 8am today. used the my 20lb xvest + 15lb dumbells.. got god cardio out of it. i feel really bouncy afterwards and wanted to do some SVJ dunks.
* also - to answer the Q, as far as heavy full squats go - i don't train with very low rest periods for the sake of adding intensity. i focus on doing a rep with as much freshness as i can (considering i burned myself out in a daily thing already anyway) - so i can explosively perform a concentric. no grinding type squat here for the sake of just getting a rep in. 

too lazy to read..

Hey, I need some advice.  What should I do if I am consistently getting pinned @ 255/260 @ 3 sets of 5 on either the 2nd or 3rd set?  What did you do on your journey to the 400s when you hit a road block?  Should I lower the weight or change the # of reps?  Thanks.

from experience, before i start adding weight to the bar, i made sure that i served my time with the previous weight - high enough tonnage that made my legs adapt to it. 15 reps on a 3x5 routine is not enough tonnage IMO.

reduce the 255 to 225s and go for an 8-10rep routine - 8x5 leading to 10x4s.. get to consistent 10x4s, add weight, and the heavier 8x4 will not give you much trouble.

anyway, for somebody doing sub 2BW squat loads, a high rep loading IMO is a more efficient use of training time to build leg strength. i would switch to a higher set / lower rep style as the weights get relatively heavier. you will just waste too much time recovering from high load / high rep routine at that point.

got confused with this one.. looks the same but this came with 0.6" heels.. definitely feels better with the .75"..

also...

- ur shorts are below knees.. those add a bit of resistance and u don't want that on very heavy reps.
- if you want to get more comfortable with your ankle dorsiflexsion, do not over tighten your shoes lace near the top, and keep the strap a little loose..

* did not detrain at all from the heavy calf raises. did 495s as warmup just in case and these felt very light. could have gone straight 495x20.
* improving on the 315 triples.

I am just lifting without much thinking and time... often I don't even check my previous stat...
I just try to lift whatever, and find out if I hit a PR after I post here and compare with my previous stat. 
The 1rm fail attempt is a way to "Squat till you drop" style, from my limited knowledge at least. 

Translation: I wasted 3(prolly more) consecutive squat sessions and didn't gain anything out of it, even though with the limited time, I could still have done a better routine that will result in progression.  If I have little time, it means I can't intelligently use the time and gain anything.   
You don't HAVE to "kingfish style" routine..  Just one that will let you progress. 

even without a barbel + limited time, i bet i can get good mass gains on the jumping muscles by progressing on single leg full squats and some form of max effort jumping.. 

kingfish style for the verticalsummit crew means a set of clustered reps without unloading the bar. 

back when i used to squat strong.. and loud. 405x5 at low 190s
