Notes:
Got a bench in! made progress. doing abbreviated workouts while in exams. but i have to share some news with my squats. i bought a pair of reebok (crossfity) type lifting shoes last year, at the time i was lifting seriously so i didn't really try them except the first day when i got them i swapped them on during my regular daily squats and i noticed they were squishier and i didnt think they were as good. well this time around i was thinking of sparing my normal shoes from wear and tear by swapping to the reeboks. and imagine my suprise when i found it made my squats feel better, my knee feel wonderful and my form became much improved. it was almost as my old shoes had worn out in a way which put a great deal of stress on my right knee .. and just not using them fixed that instantly. really cool stuff. also i found i was never really squatting right in the first place, my core was engaged but not fully in a way it should be. the upshot of it is that on video my squats now look like acole's .. amazing transformation. downside is im a newbie again, now using 70-90kg for worksets but it's okay

Scales are back and while i expected to see say 86.xx something and be disappointed about THAT imagine finding out i'm 88kg. Yikes.

Happy birthday Coges, you're my training inspiration, where i want to be(balanced) vs where i am (addicted to squatting).

Notes:
I pushed the agenda today, i kept the initial warmups technically clean but the latter reps of the sets from 107.5kg  onwards were dirty. It's ok i think, it's better to be dirty and get stronger than stay mediocre forever. I'm patient but day 45 and still struggling to use 100kg+ for reps makes no damn sense, maybe what's missing is my old intensity?

Also im making a note that there is something missing between where i am and where i want to be with BSS. Let me explain, my knee wobbles even with the empty bar. So there is some stability missing that i need to readdress before i can use BSS to make my right leg muscles stronger which i think it does just well but it doesn't do anything for the stability issue. What exercises do i need for htat? I have no clue

Notes:

That's got to be up there for sure. At the moment i'm only using SL training on the R leg which was my injured / operated / rehabbing one. If i can bring it up to symmetry with the L i'll be happy. When they're equally as strong, i'll prob be a better squatter and DL jumper and SL jumper (i almost only jump off R). But will be interesting to see if it allows me to go past my previous athletic levels b/c i prob had some sort of imbalance even before the injury as well. Now i'm also curious what would happen if i use SL training on my stronger L leg as well, make it even stronger? Maybe.

I want to do a few things actually in addition to SL training, explore the alternative plant LR and SL jumping off L which are both things i've scarcely done, just for balancing out. Some jumping training like bounds (especially SL but DL too) are so much fun compared to normal training it's fun to mix it up. But when i talk about payoff im wondering if  can improve all these from SL training. Maybe, maybe not
