^ those thick foam padded 45 deg leg press with the extended head support can get too comfortable sometimes.

Week 5 of 12 Day 3
Daily Squats Maintenance - clustered paused reps - warmup and backup - deload
[225+2+2+2][275+2+2][315+2][365,385+1][405+1+1]  30-60sec rest per +
365|385  [+1/+1] 90sec rest waveloaded

* getting stronger little by little. leg recovering nicely. might try doing 2 singles on 365 then 1x singles on 385/405 to really not use too much effort in the maintenance lifts.
* daily calf routine still going. plate loaded seated calf + leg press calf raises for soleus and gastrocs. i favor training the soleus.

* 2nd workout for the day felt much easier than the first. i'm not really planning on lifting 2x on a deload but it just felt right to lift again after 8-10hrs.

* so much for taking a deload. lol. did 2nd workout of the day because it felt like a good idea at the time. i was strong and my coordination is also there. could have made 425 but not yet in 440+ strong. this template might really work as long as i don't over do it.
* working out after work is also not a good idea. i had a brief nap in the leg press between the clustered sets of calf raises. calves feeling a bit better but still too sore to even think about running. squats with dead calves still works so il still continue abusing them.

* could have used more recovery from the heavy singles from the last workout. had to use more effort to get the paused 405x1. would tire too much if i did another single. a single waveload on the 80/85%RM weight and called it a day. form was perfect. legs tired.
* doing more daily calf work too, alternating everyday between seated and straight knees. i lost some of my ability to plantar flex during walking because of the immense soreness. pain feels good over there.

Week 5 of 12 Day 1
Daily Squats Maintenance - clustered paused reps - warmup and backup - deload
[225+2+2+2][275+2+2][315+2][365,385+1][405+1+1]  30-60sec rest per +
365|385 x3|x3 [+1+1+1/+1+1+1] 90sec rest waveloaded

* did workout early because i have work tonight 7pm. prefer to lift after work at 8am and get sleep afterwards. lifting before work gets me tired towards the end of that day.
* deloading on the volume but used heavy-ish weight ~ 365/385 80/85%RM with a lot lesser tonnage. waveloaded the singles on a 6rep straight single-clustered set. started with 365 then 385, and stopped with 6 total reps combined. that might be enough to maintain coordination for at least another 24hrs. if i still add to the leg fatigue, might cut the back off total reps to 4 with 2 singles each weight. il use this template for a few days until i feel fresh again.
* will skip the jump drills during the deloads but will add more calf work. those kill the jumps anyway so might as well do more. want to make 17-18" cows. theres no such thing as too big of those too.

stiffness = persistent effects of dehydration?

not dehydrated. i have a big 32oz mug for my water (~ 4regular cups), and i drink 4-6 of those a day. not including the protein shakes. my legs are just stiff because of the high rep cycle overuse. that is way i also do not use anything below 200lbs on my warmup sets - not heavy enough to push me down comfortably to full bottom ROM.

345x20 [+2+3,+2+3,+2+3,+2+3] 90sec rest

* same lifts as yesterday. coordination is much better but the leg fatigue is greater. i will take a week as back off, probably max at 385/85%RM.
* these 70-75% 20 rep back up clusters really challenged my muscle recovery but was not heavy enough to compromise my tendons/ligaments. i do not feel any discomfort in my upper knees or anywhere non-muscle. just one big soreness in the muscle belly of the quads and glutes. hamstrings are also probably tight but not as bad as the rest.

^ its the landings from the jumps thats injuring you. i've gotten myself into the tenderness stage (starting) of an over-use type injury. best thing to do is back off the jumping. even with my non max SVJs, those impacts add up.

best thing id do in your case aside from not making it worst by jumping more, is do do those high rep / light-moderate weight leg curls/leg extensions. got it from lance and those extra blood flow really heals you. sleep and eat good. goodluck!

345x20 [+2+3,+2+3,+2+3,+2+3] 60-90sec rest

* originally planned to lift this morning but i was so burned out that i had to hold it for later and get more recovery. quads/glutes felt really stiff. i could have lifted and still made my schedule but that would really tire me out.
* tmrw is the last day id do these back up 20 clustered reps. 4 weeks on and il give myself 1 week to recover more. il lift light at 315x20 in the late afternoon tmrw after the finals probably.

335x20 [+2+3,+2+3,+2+3,+2+3] 60-90sec rest

* lifted early in the morning. can't do afternoon, need to watch nba finals. not as strong as i thought. 2nd set of 405 was not as strong as the first.
* BW dropped to 166-168lbs. lost more water than i thought standing under the sun for half a day yesterday - i was trying to stay hydrated but apparently not enough. will get better diet today.

My advice would be to focus on basic strength work and a form of max effort jumps. Squats, deadlifts and one(!) explosive lift (preferably powerclean) should be that basic strength work and max effort jumps can be done in addition. If you have to, keep the BSS if you are interested in single leg jumps as well. If you squat heavy on Monday, you might do them on Wednesday, so that Friday can be squats again. You have to treat them as a main exercise for them to be of any worth IMO.

i'm not very consistent on the explosive lift cycles (i do barbell jump squats occasionally more as a form of squat deloading) and IMO - you can do without them, and still be able to transfer your strength made from the heavy compounds into your jumps just by jumping.

315x20 [+2+3,+2+3,+2+3,+2+3] 60sec rest

* did the workout early because i will be watching a company concert most of the afternoon. don't feel like lifting after standing for a few hours.
* next workout might be sun afternoon ~ 34-36hrs from this. might be able to go 415-365 again.

Daily Squats Maintenance - clustered paused reps - warmup and backup
[225 +2+2+2][275 +2+2][315+2][365,385,405,415+1]  30-60sec rest per +
365x20 [+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+1] 60-90-120sec rest as needed

* will back off the intensity on the backup sets tmrw, something like ~ 315-335 and cycle back up again to 365s. 385 is still annoyingly heavy, 365 is the good kind of heavy right now.
* could have gotten a top single of 425 today but IMO, backup with -50 at 375 is a bit too much too soon coming from 335s last workout.
* 100g casein protein post workout. brought the wrong kind. this will do for now. can't go wrong with high BCAA profiles anyway.

- 335x20 [+2+3 +2+3 +2+3 +2+3]

* the 405s felt lighter today even with legs that felt really beat. i didn't know what happened but this morning, i thought i won't even make it pass 385s because i was just too sore. slept again and woke up feeling better.
* if i recover as good, and hopefully not going to x4 helped me lessen the soreness - il go for a top set of 425 tmrw afternoon.
