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!!!

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: 3x8 or 3x5?

That's the question. Is 3x8 good for my current goals which are hypetrophy and some strength or is 3x5 a high enough of a volume to generate hypertrophy with proper food while also creating more strength since heavier weights are used?

I tend to focus better on 3x5 because the sets are shorter so I don't lose my focus in the sets, but I don't know about the total amount of volume. 15 reps seems so little.

What do you think?

you should have added another option, "do both", I would have clicked that one

Day 1 = 3x8, Day 2 = 3x5, avoid mental/physiological burnout by rotating through 2-3 different volumes..

if you HAD to choose one, i'd go 3x5 as it is still a potent hypertrophy stimulus, but 3x8 is going to benefit hypertrophy more, 3x5 will benefit strength more, but they both feed off each other pretty well.

Lol yea I heard about this a while ago.

The problem is a bunch or retards are going to think this is a legitimate source of protein so they are gonna go do their routine (bench, bicep curls, abz) then go to the club thinkin they're lookin hyooooooooooge and down this shit as their post workout.

Too bad they haven't come out with a vodka + stimulant infused drink so bros could go drink a bunch of it then go workout looool.

u r on fire tonight, vodka 5 hour energy.
