Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : chest, lats, quads, calves, glutes
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
It's been 6 weeks off the hard wood. All things considered, endurance not bad at all, not good either of course. Vert, i have no clue, i didn't even want to try, i was seeing the other guys jump and it looked too violent/painful to even try, lol. Next day = wrecked, crazy soreness allover the place haha.

Bodyweight@session : ~85,5kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

ATG PAUSED SQUAT:
4@75kg ( +5 kg) , ( -4 reps )
7@70kg ( -1 rep )
7@70kg ( -1 rep )
-Switched to from 3x8 to 4-7-7. Top set was easier than expected, back-offs harder than expected.

BENCH PRESS:
5@65kg ( +2,5 kg ) , ( -3 reps )
5@65kg ( +2,5 kg ) , ( -3 reps )
5@65kg ( +2,5 kg ) , ( -3 reps )
20@50kg ( extra set )
-New scheme here too. Again 'heavy' 5s easier than expected.

DEAD-HANG PULLUPS:
6@BW+5kg
6@BW+5kg ( +1 rep )
5@BW+5kg
9@BW ( -1 rep )
-Not bad. 1 more weighted rep, 1 less BW. Felt weak though.

PAUSED STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
15@BW+65kg
15@BW+65kg
14@BW+65kg ( +1 rep )

Switching to a less-volume-more-intensity approach. Was maybe too conservative on 'heavy' sets loads. Better safe than sorry lol.

Basketball / Re: top nba players with the highest running verticals?
« on: March 22, 2017, 05:32:55 am »
Yeah, i would say it goes the other way around, imagine if TFB people had the NBA ( or NFL or T&F , whatever high level pro ) training/nutrition/recovery infrastructure, VJ oriented. 60'' would happen!
The same with those elites of the NFL/NBA, those guys that record 40+ in the combines, if they never worked on skills/endurance but just vert, they would also reach there.
It is the same thing. Pick elite jumping genetics and apply professional dedicated training. You would see people jumping insane high.
Like clearing 8'...
Oh wait...

It is possible though... mathematically: there will be a hardcoded time span for which best pace is calculated. Say 10s. So you may run for 5s at a 4m pace and then stop. But because the time span was bigger, it can't record the 4m,  the pace for the 10s window span is 8m. However, your average moving pace was 4m. Hah!  ;D
ok, ok, i stop...

3@90kg ( +1 rep )
20@60kg ( +5 reps )
-Wanted to be stronger @90. Expected to be weaker @60.
Looks like i am having bigger gains in higher reps currently, which makes sense since this is what i do mostly. Gotta phase in more low-rep-high-RM...

lol, nah, i don't even know what exactly heartburn is. Can't say if it is serious or not. Didn't even google it either.
I just somehow thought it was not humor, that you were really worried and that it was serious and you knew, yet you sat and waited, that's why it sounded crazy.

Edit:
Ok googled it, i understand what it is now, lol, ive had it too a few times. We call it 'burner'
From what i read, the cases that it is related to serious heart stuff are around 0.6%.

Injuries/aches : none

8@85kg
8@85kg
8@85kg ( +1 rep )
-Meh, hook grip not working. Still uncomfortable and i don't see much improvement either. Might go back to mixed and save hook for low-rep-high-weight indeed.
Or get straps, but i kinda like how grip gets stronger without them. My personal 'strap usage limit' is around 110kg for reps, i'll wait to get back there and then see.

SEATED NEUTRAL GRIP DB OHP:
12@16kg each hand
12@16kg each hand
12@16kg each hand
-Easy, should have used 18s.

Belt+chain is what i use too and feels great, i have only gone up to 20kg though, but it still did feel great. Also, I had to use DBs ( 'hold' with legs ) a few times in the past and it felt horrible.
I guess vest would be cool too but i have no personal experience to share.

-Season best! Also i dare to call it volume-weight all time :personal-record: , best performance ever is 3x5@90 with a little ROM compromise to stay in the cage, those were legit ATG outside the cage.

BENCH PRESS:
8@62,5kg ( +2,5 kg )

Great progress everywhere lately, loving it.

Hey no worries, the more information, the better. Still torn, i've been told in the past that i look weird when using over-under grip and weights get heavy-ish, there is no symmetry, i both rotate and sink. I think i'll give the hook grip some more time. I see it as a good aid for hang powercleans ( which i want to incorporate again soon ), building a confident and strong hook grip will definitely help them too. If stress on thumb does not diminish, i will stop them and use them for low-rep (R)DLing only...

Had another work&life attack. Luckily it didn't last long enough to detrain me , but worked more as a good break so i bounced back stronger, nice!
