Jumps

* lift effort: max 450-455, money 445-450, recovery 420-430. did 2 heavy singles today - 430/440. even the 440 didn't feel that heavy. this is the strongest i've lifted a paused 440x1. should have taken vid. didn't really know why i was a lot stronger today. i just came from a monday 440x1. after i repped 430x1 like it was just another 410-420, i knew il blast thru the 440. didn't really want to get three heavy reps today and risk burning out tmrw so i stopped there. tmrw il try to use 430 as recovery singles.
* my SVJs are also higher. on the dunks, the ball hit the ground first before my feet, without me grabbing rim.. i was really pushing it down fast.

Hey Kingfish, just curious why so much rest btw the sets??  Does it help that much more and if so how/why?  I've never tried more than 5-7min btw sets bcs never heard/read anybdy recommend more than that.  What do u do btw sets to stay warm, loose, etc?  Have u got the timings down to a science after lots of experimentation or do u alternate other erx in btw squats?  How long does the workout typically last?

thanks. i rest for as long as i need to get back into the next set feeling fully recovered. i don't do any other exersice during my squat workout other than a few high rep calf isolations using the 45 deg sled after im done with squats.

i don't get cold anymore after i go thru the ramping warmup sets.  if the gym feels cold, il put on my sweat pants. my workout is usually 1.5 - 2.5hrs,

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand rim grabs - paused full squat start / no arm swings

* will use more even numbers on the ramping sets. 420x1 was not very heavy. could have gotten 430-435.  did the rim grabs for explosive work. the plan to lift after work did not happen. i was too sleepy, and workouts following a nap / sleep are usually best. will lift again tmrw afternoon.

Week 1 - 435, 425, 415, 415, 415, 415, 395
Week 2 - 415(440), 395(415), 415(435), 420, 395, 415, 420
Week 3 - 420, 420, 430, 420, 410, 395(410), 440
Week 4 - 420, 420

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunks

* modified the ramping weights to 370,400. the 400x1 felt heavy.. i initially loaded 410 expecting that i might fail 420. took all the time resting for the next single (22 mins?).. then on the walk-in.. changed my mind and loaded 420. got the rep nicely. i had 10-15lbs over it. i could have made 430 today. with that much power over the rep, todays workout should be favoring my recovery.
* i will sleep 1:30-6:30pm today, work 7-8am then lift after work. will hopefully get another 420. explosive drills again after lifting. getting consistent too with my isolated calf work using a 45 deg sled calf raise up to 405lbs.

Week 2 - 415(440), 395(415), 415(435), 420, 395, 415, 420
Week 3 - 420, 420, 430, 420, 410, 395(410), 440
Week 4 - 420

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunks (no warm-up)

* the 420x1 today following a 420+440x1 yesterday is a bit too heavy. i bent my mid back on the way up. it was smooth up to that point.. energy leaked and i crawled to complete the rep. i only had 5lbs over.. did some pick up game.. and then some explosive drills with 2 hand SVJ dunks.
* will plan to go up to 410x1 tmrw but il probably go for 420x1 if i feel stronger.
* stopped counting the consecutive days.. i made it to the 21st and its now a habit. will skip a day here and there if work schedule doesn't let me recover but thats about it.
