glad you started a log man!
nice man, why 4x4 with 225 though on squat, if 1RM is 275?
what's your diet like?
i have a few suggestions for your routine, of course you don't have to do them, but I have some things that I think would make it more effective and I'll post them once I get replies to some of those questions i posted in here, that way i'm not way off base.
glad you're here man, lets get that strength/vert up & body comp in check!!!
peace man
Thanks I definately need some input..... And know I need to make some changes.
275 is my PR. I may not be able to get it today, but I am pretty sure I could. I am just getting back into moving a heavy bar fast, and my plan was to step up each lifting day for confidence more than anything. (I am quite slow twitch and can muscle up more weight than I probably should. I want speed out of the transition and solid form. I guess that is another of my focuses)
that's good actually.. focusing on bar speed is very important.. good call there.
I have really cleaned up my diet over the last month or so. I am currently eating a protien bar for breakfast and lunch + an apple or orange at lunch. Sensible dinner chicken or beef, veggies, etc. (fresh stuff) I drink whey with 2% milk post workout.
nice!
As far as cardio goes.... sad to say but 30 mins on treadmill 5 incline 5 mph, currently once a week.
When I said reactive that was probably a bad description. Here was tonights workout.....

1 leg step up jumps 18" box
4 x 6
On box jumps 24" box
3 x 8
Drop Jumps 24" box

Pistol squats BW+10
3 x 6
Ab work: slant board x 100 and wheel on a stick, left, middle, right 2 x 10
are your "drop jumps" depth jumps? or depth drops? i'm assuming depth drops, i hate how people have referred to them as jumps if it's just a drop lol.. if it's drops, then ya, i'd keep them in their place.. if they are depth jumps, i'd put them after jump rope, giving them priority.
i'd still go with some extra reactive work on mon/fri, short sprints + (pogos and/or halftucks).. that'll give you some nice extra work at improving that reactive/explosive strength.
peace man
