1x5 + 1x10?

Not a fan of high rep squatting, like I said...

cool story bro.

10 March 2010

Bball game
Good endurance again , very happy to be in good shape at current weight ( ~197.5 after game ).
We were playing at this court that has an awesome floor , i always get great jumps there. Also wearing KobeV's instead of wore out hyperdunks. The result was sick: i did only 2 jumps , got 7,5'' above rim off 1 step , 8,5'' above rim with 2 steps. Also got a 1-hand rim hang in-game , going up for a rebound , WTF , stupid jumping today.
Teammates were saying that both rims looked like 10'1'' , but let's just say they were 10':
That is 10'8.5'' touch , 33,5'' RVJ, season best and also all time PR in 10' indoor court ,   ,   ,  

 

sick dude!

great floors ftw also.. a really good grippy indoor floor, nice hardwood, is just awesome.

Get some vids of that session tomorrow if possible.  Don't think I've seen any of your SLRVJ's before...lookin forward to it.  Hope that quads good man.

thanks man & ya we'll be vidding, unfortunately it's about to rain, going to have to go indoor probably :<

here's my SLRVJ's from 2 nights ago:

peace man

working out with jamie mcowen tomorrow, should be fun.. one of my friends/former clients, some vids on my youtube of him (PR vert of 37" standing, 10'3 or 10'4 broad jump).

gonna do some dunks, sprints, maybe vertec jumps, go carb up, then squat

hopefully my quad is 100% tomorrow, it feels pretty damn good today, all of that high freq squatting has made it really strong.. i won't push it though on double leg jumps if it's bugging, definitely going to go crazy SLRVJ though.

bw = 153
soreness = calfs
aches/injuries = left quad, mid/right back tight a bit
fatigue = high
diet = protein/gatorade/vit-C-drink, 3:30pm HIGH-FREQ-SQUAT{135@2x5,225x5}, 4 eggs + 2 cheese + 10 chocolates + vit-C-drink + 3 bananas, 5:30pm HIGH-FREQ-SQUAT{135x5,225x5}, chipotle chicken burrito, 2am HIGH-FREQ-SQUAT{135x5,245x5}, 20 chocolates + protein/water-drink, 4am HIGH-FREQ-SQUAT{135x5,225x5}, thick turkey & cheese sandwhich + vit-C-drink

nothing other than my submax high freq squatting stuff.. went to movies etc, feel really good though in terms of strength/legs feeling light..

oh ya TONS of stretching all day, hip flexors/quads/adductors/calfs and some hamstring.. 5+ minute static holds for many sets.

peace




have some nice blogs planned hopefully get em` done soon..


HIGH-FREQ-SQUAT: ANABOLIC BARBELL DIET
- consider this imitation-PED's using high frequency barbell squatting, squat injections ftw. MATVI training
- ped's are for pansies
- NOTE TO SELF: stay light (or stop) if sacral spine issue starts flaring up in the least.
- 03/08/2011: 3 sessions of pin 6 squat: 225 x 5 {6pm, 7pm, 10pm}
- 03/09/2011: 4 sessions of pin 6 squat {3:30pm=225x5, 5:30pm=225x5, 2am=245x5, 4am=225x5}

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.

---

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury <-- happens every time, STOP IT
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+
- cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs
- utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

ONE LINERS WITH EVERYTHING IN THEM
- OPTIONAL

I could recruit more MUs by having less time between sets.

nope................ rest/pause is way diff than 3x3 with short rest..

Heck, I could probably do Lance's method but using lower body for it. 45s breaks in between sets, 3 sets of maximal correct, explosive reps with a weight that I can do a good amount of reps and that's it.

nah man you won't be recruiting the highest threshold mu's with that..

if that was a 1x8 with 80% then short rest singles then ya, but not 3x3 @ 80% short rest.

Don't know - like I said, maybe if I ditch the strength assistance work and just do squats, and replace the strength assistance with plyos, sprints etc, then I'd be better off than right now.

i'd go that route for sure..

you have to remember you are trying to improve utilization of the entire "motor pool", that is what causes the biggest gains.. if you don't get into the "regularly untapped portion of the motor pool", then you won't adapt to be able to use it.. those motor units are considered protected, they are last ditch effort recruited when you are recruiting maximal weight or entering a significant amount of fatigue during your set, then they turn on.. so if you don't have that stimulus in your training, anything else becomes detraining, you need at least 1x/week of that in terms of "progressive overload training", though at least 2 sessions is more effective imo.

peace man

My recommendation for squat maintenance while dieting would be to keep the set 'difficulty' high, but do fewer sets (i.e. 2x5 @ 82+% or 2-3x3 @ 87+%).  I've tried the whole 3x3 @ 80% (pretty easy) and the like, but I found my body would just adapt (detrain) to that weaker stimulus until 3x3 at that weight was difficult.  Even though 80% is technically pretty high intensity, the stimulus from those kinds of far sub-maximal sets just isn't enough for your body to hang on to the muscle it needed to handle the difficult sets you were doing during your strength building phase.   

x2 ^^^^^^^^^

3x3 @ 80% is just way too submax, detraining will occur.. 3x3 @ 80% is seriously like, why even squat in the first place, might as well not even squat if that's the percentage you're 3x3'n at.

regardless of what you choose, you need some HEAVY lifting in there, low set volume (reps can be anywhere from 1-10), and something that forces you to recruit all MU's.. so whatever you decide on, fitting that criteria, it'll be ok.. 3x3 @ 80% is just not going to challenge the highest threshold motor units so it becomes futile..

it has to be challenging or you will detrain.. 3x3 @ 80 % = guaranteed detraining.

so don't settle on a set/rep scheme as of now, just settle on the criteria.. regardless of what you do it has to be moving weight at a high percentage of your 1RM until ALMOST-failure or non-psyched failure.

peace

apparently this vid is 2 years old tho he just uploaded it, dude got hops

How big is Thorkildsen? I know javelin throwers aren't as big as weight throwers, but still, anyone approaching normal size(i.e. not tiny gymnast size with colossal arms) doing an iron cross is unreal.

Hes 6'3-6'4 and 200lbs

 

hahahaha
