Nah, I'm going to stick with what you outlined. It makes more sense to wave a bit the volume and intensity of the workouts.
Yeah I guess that's good.
My original plan was this:
WEEK 1:
3x8
3x8
WEEK 2:
3x8
3x8
WEEK 3:
3x5
2x3 MSEM
REPEAT
It has to be 40, looks to high even with the angle considerations.
Yeah it sounds cool. I guess I'll do today 90x8x3 and go with 100x5x3 on Thursday. I might throw in a MSEM workout every now and then for potentiation/rest purposes.

I have just received a weird PM from Zetz... what's up with that?
Raptor, I would say do both. I made insane progress doing both, 2x5 one day and 3x8 a few days later. If you look at the my journal, right at the beginning is pretty much where I started doing that... I had been stuck at about a ~280lb squat max for a while.
When I started the 2x5 and 3x8 phase I could do 225x8, at the end of the phase a few months later I could do 270x7. I also started taking creatine during that phase but I was upping the weight pretty much every session, and like I said, before that I had been at a plateau for a while.
Check out from the end of my journal on tvs to about the middle of my journal on here.
10-28-10
Did about 10 jumps... they sucked, something like 27 and 31.5. Ended with some sprints.
10-29-10
A few jumps outside... was getting up decent... hand over the rim but no more than that... went inside really quick to check on vertec... 28 and 33.5. Only did two jumps each so I probably could have gotten .5" higher on each.
Upper body- everything has been increasing a lot since I have been taking less rest time in between workouts.
*Did a muscle up for the first time ever which has been a goal of mine for a few months.
Core
Gonna jump again tomorrow and/or Sunday... vert should be even higher in a day or two. Lookin for a couple of big jump sessions.
congats on the muscle up!!!
Thanks mangg. I'll try to get it on video tomorrow.
Gonna go to 10' indoor hoop and try to dunk some small balls.
Didn't get a chance to post yesterday. Bit of a bust cause the gym, unannounced, had shut down the basketball court. I didn't have a backup plan so ended up doing some random shit. Closed today and tomorrow, too.
warm up
foam roll
stretch
work
jump rope x a bunch, about 35 total double unders
tuck jump x10
pogos x10
Then realized that I could use the court as long as I didn't bring any equipment on it, e.g. a basketball.
sprint x3
1-step x5 -- sucked, nothing over 29
repeat, but wasn't jumping well at all, so I cut myself off
More tuck jumps and pogos, some random broad jumps...mostly a waste of time cause I didn't have a backup plan. Oops.
cool down
stretch
adarq, any ideas for the SR sessions, especially now that it's getting cold and sprints are gonna get harder to do? I know we talked about this before but I'm evidently incapable of putting something reasonable together on my own.



If that is 10' you are at 40" I'm telling you, that picture is ridiculousssssss. You are easily 6+" past your hand.

Yes but 3x8 and 3x5 with the same weight?
So if I do 3x8 on Sunday with 90 kg, then I should do 3x5 on Thursday with the same 90?
adarq-wtf is that calendar?
what?
stealth vert
40 comin sooooooooon
