Nice progress. skipped the AMRAP finishers, too drained to do. Might do them 1 on - 1 off. Or just AREG by feel.

I totally agree with the stereotype analysis of all.
But what if entropy just likes being big, not because of the social stereotype, but because that's how he is?
Isn't calling by definition stereotypical someone's behavior that fits an existing stereotype, a stereotypical approach itself?
Food for thought.

1½ hours full court bball.
That was interesting. Legs were still sore and tired. However they were fresh at the same time, being ready to fire throughout the whole game. Both for vert AND for speed. Vert felt a bit lower than recently due to 'tired' legs, but it was there the whole time. First step too, sprints for fast breaks too, strength for physical game too. Love it. Not sure i can attribute it to just two sessions of HIIT weightlifting, maybe just a good day. Felt amazing for sure, by far most enjoyable bball session in like 1 year.
Nutrition :
1700 kcal / 100g protein / ( 1000 kcal deficit )
Missed the post-bball meal that would bring me to the planned 150g protein/500kcal deficit. My bad.

I think it is not the right time to use hypergravity, you are currently in a 'get back at it' phase.
Just think of hypergravity as a peaking tool. Save those 2-3 inches for when they will really make the change, taking you from 37 to 40 instead of, say, 32 to 35.
Also, it doesn't have to be an all-time PR period, it is not a one-off thing. If you feel after a few weeks of strength training you want to peak and test, go for it. Later in the season, when another peaking period comes, you can use it again.

Bodyweight@session : ~88.25
Soreness : glutes and hamstrings soreness went a bit down, quads went a bit up, wtf! abs and back went down too.

SPEED HALF SQUATS AMRAP:
30''@50kg : 21 reps
30''@80kg : 15 reps
Much better this time. Everything felt kinda easier although i upped the loads and i was very sore. Probably some part of it is from doing stuff in the correct order, squats go first.
Said i'd do HPCs instead of the prescribed band squats AMRAP finishers, but thinking about it again i found speed half squats much more related. Going for volume o-lift while exhausted didn't feel much sane either. I'm probably keeping that. 80kg brought me to the limit, was good while repping but after re-racking i felt so drained that i had to sit down for 2-3 minutes to regain confidence i can walk. Was too low on carbs too, my bad.

As straight as possible. I start pretty straight, then as i progress and get tired i bend a little, i think max bend is around 45 degrees ( or 135 ).
Also note they are not hanging leg raises, they are elbow and back supported ones. Captain's chair is their silly name IIRC.

I can only speculate, and my speculation is that the concept of the specific college course ( or course section ) was that, avoiding the exact calculation, which the student didn't do.

^That is interesting, never heard of that. Found it though.
This article here explains the situation well : http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/10/22/sometimes-estimating-is-better-than-getting-the-exact-answer/
Long story short, it is about estimating to avoid the exact calculation, so the 'reasonable' answer is the one you get doing the calculation on a larger scale.
The exact calculation is 100-25 = 75
The rough calculation is "around 100"-"around 30" = 70.
The meaning of the whole thing is to learn to do good estimations WITHOUT doing the exact calculation.
I agree with the article editor that the 25-100 pages example is not a good one to demonstrate the theory. Because 100-25 is already a pretty simple math core func.
103-28 is better.
Best demo is the one he uses about the prices total:

Suppose you’re buying groceries. You have four items in your cart that cost $1.99, $4.93, $6.03, and $5.14.
If all you have is $20 in your wallet, is that enough to pay for the items?
I think that’s a very realistic question.
It would take you at least a little bit of time to add up those numbers individually and get an exact number. Would it answer your question? Absolutely. But you don’t need an exact answer.
The smarter thing to do would be to simply round the numbers. We should be saying to ourselves, “2 + 5 + 6 + 5 equals 18… throw in some tax… and I should still be under $20.”

good stuff, beast.
Thanks.
Last set was brutal indeed, i think the wrong order played an important role. Makes more sense to warmup, hit the squats+OHP fresh, then move to the others which felt less demanding.
We will see today...

They removed the video. Found it in another angle.
It is not nice to see animals fighting. But the original video i updated was so raw, so much brute force, it was breathtaking.
It is not so evident here. Whatever, i am posting it.
