Hmm...

say i enter 385lbs as my max.

itll take me 6 weeks to hit 405lbs with this.. 20lb gain in 6 weeks? Just over 3lbs a week?

Another thing: I don't like the progression on the final day for the maxing out. 90%x1, 95%x1, 100%x1, 102%x1, 105%x1..
Well, at least for me those final 4 sets wouldn't work too well because I would be a bit burn out:
345x1
365x1
393x1
405x1

I think there's too much space between the 365x1 and 393x1, and also not enough space between the 393 and 405. I would just skip the 102% altogether and lower the 345x1 to 335x1.

From this I'm inferring that 385lbs would be too low of a max to really get a lot out of this peaking phase. Maybe 440lbs and up would be better to try this out?

Upper East Side.

Mine have been pointing out my entire life. My right one points out more than my left. It's really annoying. How do I fix it?

Well, more importantly, what causes it? How can I find out if it starts at my ankle or my hip?

Darqui what program do you use to make your videos? Windows Movie Maker doesn't have an option for over 720x480 resolution but I want the whole 1920x1080...

That looks really high... if you would've pulled your heels to the butt, that would've looked incredible.

How much have you practiced your two footed jump since you were pretty much an exclusive one-leg jumper?

Not too much. I don't even remember making the change completely anymore. Probably happened when I jumped from 190lbs to 200+ (with sneakers on). But I only practice my jumps about once a week so that's why I know I can get higher. Haven't been playing much pick up basketball either, I'm actually not that quick and coordinated on defense as I used to be.

My feet are naturally externally rotated and have been like that my whole life. How the hell do I fix it? I can drop a vid of the pic tomorrow, along with another attempt that I did and got maybe 1" lower.

But really, how do I fix the externally rotated feet. I think the problem lies in my hips though. And my right foot points out more than my left.

It's the last (4th) set of my Saturday Smolov Jr workout. My shorts are rolled up in it to expose my thighs. My quads are relatively huge compared to my hamstrings that barely exist. Tomorrow I'll upload 3 of the 4 sets that I did and put it into one video.

I look like an idiot lol.

Squatted 8x4 at ~338lbs Friday and 4x3 at 355lbs Saturday, and got this high today:




Estimating ~38" running vertical there:

Rim is 120"
Bottom of backboard is 114" (or 6inches away from rim)
ASSUMING 6'2" height in shoes (which is 74")
Guessing head is 2" away from backboard:

114" - 2" - 74" = 38"

Head might be 3" from backboard, but I'm like 6'0.5" and this wasn't my best jumping day, so I know FOR SURE I can hit 38" legit. I think if I deload I'll hit 40" no doubt about it in like a month.

EDIT: O btw the 355x5 should move me up to a 375lb max squat in the rankings.
