SQUATTED 210 lb at 135 LB
1.55xBW SQUAT LETS GOOOO

My previous top was 190x4 the monday before.
i was just warming up and everyones is talking about unrackking and stuff on here.  Last warmup set was 185x1. I say let me get an unrack set in, and then i was like how about 210 thats about 1.5xBW. I take it out. Core is tight and it feels light. SPONTANEOUSLY, I go down, and all i feel is glute and ham. I just barely hit parallel, then i go back up. It was a struggle getting to the halfway mark, and then i exploded up. Then i did it again for a second rep.

idk if i should change what i am doing b/c that was after a week of squatting only once instead of 2 or times.

congrats man, well sometimes you might need to deload a little (1x/week) and then come back strong.. might have been the case.. mgiht need that every 4 weeks or so.

your squats have been progressing though havn't they? on 2x/week?

Go for it man, it'll help you get amped up knowing you having a contest aswell.

Isn't it June the 4th?

uh thanks for pointing that out haha.. i definitely didn't notice until you pointed out, that would have been a travesty..

ya man i'm pumped up for it, even more so if i have to dunk to get in it.. hah.

some of my fatboy dunks from yesterday


really loving how dunking looks without beanie, hair flying around.. hah.. also love that first short lob dunk from yesterday, got up great from well inside the 3 point line.





lol..... the beard does seem to make me stronger, it's odd.. every time i grow it out i pretty much peak my hops/strenf.

Cos its a manly characteristic, you don't want to look like a clean shaven 5 year old school kid like most adults.

Just like the good Lord intended.

Feel that.

hahahahah well said.

peace


Today at the end of my workout, I finished up by rolling the sole of my foot over the top of a brand new golf ball.

It's really good for massaging out the plantar fascia, gets the blood flowing real good.

Try that if you haven't already.

ya ive done that before, the thing that helps the most once it flares up is some light stretching and then getting some sleep hah.. that seems to help the most, i can really aggravate it once it flares up by rolling it etc.. seems to inflame it even more.. rolling it would be good as a preventative measure not the day it experiences a small tear/trigger imo.. a few days after then you're fine to roll it ya.

peace man

need to work on a dunk mix for april... put all of the best dunks i did into a mix.. need to do the same for may when that's over with, gotta keep this in mind.




05/01/2011

bw = 155
soreness = none
aches/injuries = right plantar fascia slightly
fatigue = high (needed more sleep)
diet = turkey & cheese sandwich in veggie oil + protein/water-drink + gatorade/drink, protein/water-drink, dunking + protein/gatorade-drink, caramel frappe medium + chicken sandwich, running with dog, protein/water-drink, protein/water-drink, interrupted-cardio-lifting-session{jump-rope=150, pin-7-squat=225x10+calve-raise=15, jump-rope=150, 275 x 10, 315 x 10, 345 x 5, calve-raise=225x15}, protein/water-drink, gatorade + turkey & cheese sandwich on pumpernickel dipped in veggie oil

dunk session was ok for being fat & breaking in my new nzwr's.. wanted to do a huge cardio-lift workout tonight but it was pouring and my dog got soaked, so brought him in/dried him off and that was it.. hit some nice squat sets but whatever.. plan to dunk tomorrow.. funny thing is i was 153 after that workout, which is a good sign, had i actually done the cardio-lift workout i'd have been 150 or so, would have been perfet for tomorrow. instead ill probably be ~153-154 now.

peace

had a few good jumps today, needed more sleep that's why ithink i burned out too quick.. a few really nice jumps off short runup.. breaking in my new nike zoom waffle racers.. slipped a few times in them, it's odd, they have so much grip but i slip in them on full runups until i get a few sessions in, then they feel perfect.. gotta grind down the sole very slightly so they get that stick.

getting too fat though, 156.



short runup lob, maybe my best jump of the session hah:




























dog chewed up carpet:

405 x 3 pin 7 @ 156



dude, i just realized you told me u hit 405 x 3 and I was fucking so pre occupied and selfish with all this other shit  tonight it didnt even process, but GOOD FUCKING JOB MAN@$@$@  srsly good work, thats beast lvl. :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting:



hah it's all good, u missed it live though...

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXZj4Wy58Pk&feature=youtube_gdata_player









What the fuck? 405x3? Not unracking, squat, right, SQUAT?


ya pin 7 though, not pin 6.. pin 7 on my powertec is only ~2" higher than pin 6, so im definitely happy about it.. the cool thing is, i did my low unracking pins (unracking pin minus 4 or whatever) then hit that 405 x 3.. so that's a pretty low (for me) 405 concentric, then those 3 reps.

:F

peace man







Really shows me how much work I have to do.  Was feeling pretty good about squatting 225 yesterday and that's like not even a warm up weight for you, AND you weigh like 40 pounds less!!!  Amazing stuff. 

well i do squat pretty high (in depth) lol.. but ya i have gotten pretty strong with that bar on my back.. 225 on my back feels like a toy now.

appreciate the compliment man... i half squat though so, hard to compare to people who squat deep etc, but i have FREAKY half squat goals.. i'd like to hit 500+ off pin 6 at ~150 lb... got to get 475-485 off pin 7 first, then ill go back to pin 6 and try to get it.

peace man






Yeah your squat was alright I guess...


I'm fucking with you bro FUCKING BEAST MODE!!! All that's needed now is head to rim!

thanks man, and thanks for making fun of me on tinychat u lil bish..

:F






adarq u got ur eyes on the prize mayne.

405 x 3, thats some serious shit. keep pushing. Lead by example, never content.

thanks mang, and ya, 500 x 1 @ 150 off pin 6, that's the goal.

pC
405x3?.


It's the hair & beard, Samson style bayybe.








Man's gonna take out cats.


lol..... the beard does seem to make me stronger, it's odd.. every time i grow it out i pretty much peak my hops/strenf.

nice pics ^^ second one looks close to jamming it down good.





405 x 3 on pin 7 @ 156 PR, tinychat footage haha.

Unracking 405lbs at 132lbs bodyweight.



beast pic, just make sure you dont go TOO far in weight over your half squat height.. i mean you don't want to be going 200+ lb over it unless you make sure you can handle all of those loads properly. just throwing out some cautionary text hah.

raptor sees that pic and his core shakes :F

i bet he looks at 405 lb a little differently though on lockouts now.

pc












Suited DL  :personal-record:

I know we cant really use suited lifts for anything, but still a PR.

272,5kg/599,5lbs.

Video might come in log.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyJZ6iQ8w_0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyJZ6iQ8w_0</a>

 :o

absolutely sick.. i know it's just a numbe,r but 599.5 vs 600, damn haha..

really nasty dude, that's big weight, and you don't get much out of a suit on dl's anyway really.. not a huge difference for most people, imagine that is the case for you?

sick sick sick











You can watch the video in my journal, no shaking, it didn't feel as heavy as I would've thought. I don't think lifting the bar off the rack is the hard part I could've lift more, but walking it out would've been too much.

ya i would avoid walking out with that much weight over your half squat.. any little weird shift in hip/knee could be a problem, better to just do a much safer lockout with no walk out.. if you do walk outs, make sure it's not a crazy amount over your max, +50-75 lb or so max.

peace






May have PR'd yesterday afternoon. Got ~1" below wrist on a 9'7" rim. That's a 123" touch or 33" RVJ. Which would be a PR. On slippery, gravely asphalt.

So yeah, I'm counting that.


moar!

bw = 156
soreness = calve origin
aches/injuries = bunyon slightly, AT NIGHT: plantar fasciitis in right foot FML
fatigue=low
diet = 4 pieces of bread + veggie oil + gatorade, protein/water-drink, cardio-lift-session{great session, pin 7 squat, tons of 225 x 10+ sets, 275 x 10, 405 x 1 FAIL + 405 x 3, 225 x 20, lots of 200 turn jump rope sets, some plate swings (35 lb), some neutral grip pullups weak rom}, protein/water-drink, turkey & cheese sandwich on pumpernickle dipped in veggie oil, running with dog, protein/water-drink + green tea, dog walk, protein/water-drink + turkey & cheese sandwich on pumpernickle dipped in veggie o
il + vit-c-drink, protein/water-drink

so, hiller proved me wrong pretty much, on his jumping ability, props on that, so it caused me to rage during my cardio-lift workout.. decided to tinychat my workout for fun.. was pretty beast.. it's a pretty funny video once it's rendered, hard to see the lift properly cause im using my laptop webcam but whatever.. the tinychat convos + webcam is funny shit.

anyway i failed 405 x 1, got really pissed and hit 405 x 3 off pin 7.... that's a huge PR for me, because those pin's on my power rack are different than the ones at 24 hour fitness.. 'pin 7' is lower on my powertec than pin 7 @ 24hour fitness, and it's not really pin 6/7 on my powertec i just call it that to relate it to the 24hour fitness pin heights..

anyway, good workout, just murked everything, was kinda like this:
jump rope 200 turns
squat 225 x 12
jump rope 200 turns
squat 225 x 12
jump rope 200 turns
squat 225 x 12
jump rope 200 turns
squat 275 x 10
jump rope 200 turns
squat 345 x 1
jump rope 100 turns
squat 385 x 1
jump rope 100 turns
squat 405 x fail
squat 405 x 3
jump rope 100 turns
calve raise 225 x 10 + squat 225 x 10 + calve raise x 10 all in one set
jump rope 100 turns
squat 225 x 20

so ya kinda like that.. with some other crap mixed in

anyway uploading vid tomorrow, should take forever, shit is taking 8 hours to render and probably 8 hours to upload haha.

pC

hopefully foot feels good tomorrow so i can dunk hard.

pC x 2











edit: my plan is to dominate pin 7 before going back to pin 6.. so, hit 475+ on pin 7, then go down to pin 6 and try to hit those numbers there.. i love this top down approach.
