Jump Squats - Waveload 10-20-30%
- 55 8x2
- 95 8x1
- 95|55 8x1/8x1 x1
- 135|95 4x1/4x1 x2
- 95 8x1

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunk with volleyball x8-10

* jump squat volume on 135 maxed at x4 and waveloaded with 95x4. did a pick up game as warmup to SVJ double hand dunks with a volleyball. full rest day on thursday and some explosive half squats up to 455x4 on friday if im not feeling very strong. go up to 515x2 otherwise.

ur strength is no where near where it should be. looking at your log, u squat in the 300s at 190lb BW..  some people with very good jumping mechanics and body structure might be able to do with that.. but for the rest of us.. power-to-weight ratio needs to be really high.

so simple but most people over complicate things and mess it up.

* light squat workout after a day rest from fridays heavy lifts - stopped the paused full squat wamrups at 365. and did half squats up to 440s. some light jump squats and the sunday pick up game. did some SVJs after the same. barely got above the rim. would have been clean 2 hand SVJ dunks if i used a volleyball.
* will do waveload jump squats tmrw and more SVJ drills. im jumping 2-3" lower today. max at ~ 37"

- 55 8x2

Jumps
- SVJ double hand dunks 6x6

* my squats sucked this morning due to fatigue. im still not completely recovered but still managed consistent 37-38" SVJs to get clean double hand dunks with a bball. did the dunks after the squat jump warmups and a pick up game.
* noticed that i jump noticeably higher if i really focus on getting down to that 1/2 depth. focusing on very quick amortizations that sacrifice depth also lowers my jump height.

Jumps
- Volleyball SVJ dunks 10x2

* i want to play some pick up ball this afternoon so i decided to do my explosive half squats early in the morning.  i was not completely recovered from the heavy monday squat workout, but IMO it shouldn't be so bad because i plan to do explosive halfs up to 440x4 only. i felt tired coming out of the pause on 405x1 and midway up, the bar got heavy. i gave up on the rep. i'm fatigued more that im used too because i rarely fail a paused 405.. skipped the supra max half squats and just did some light jump squats and jump drills.
* will do the pick up ball this afternoon.. probably a set or two of 55|95lb jump squats as warmups. if im fresh enough, il do the explosive 440 half squats on thursday.
* feels bad to get pined by 405. should have just non-paused it.

^ i dont train RVJ, but right now id say a good SVJ +2-3".. max at +4" at one point. vert was in the high 20s when i started and squat strength was up to the high 200s very quickly. took years to get from 315-365.. same as 365-405s..

Jump Squats - Waveloaded Light 10-20%RM
- 55,95 16x1 warmup
- 95/55 wave 8x2 x2

Jumps
- SVJ test 37x4
- volley dunks

* my glutes were sore from yesterdays workout. quads were ok. not stiff. did the jump squats.  a waveload 95/55 is 95x8, remove plates and do 55x8 right away. did it twice today. a pickup game and then vid my SVJ test. i sucked. did more volley SVJ dunks for more jump volume.

^ any supplement that aids in getting your muscles bigger/stronger is geared towards general strength training..  its not solely a bbuilding thing.

#15 Heavy Half Squats - 93%
- 425 4x3

* hamstrings a little sore from the non-max 10yrd sprints. did not really affect my full squats. i was strong today. could have had 440-455x1 because 385/405 paused felt light and concentric was so smooth. plan was to stop at 405x1 paused and half squat my way up to 495-525. changed my mind and attempted a 425x1 non-paused but 425 never felt this light before.. so i stopped at the bottom for a good 1-1.5sec and blasted the concentric. mid back caved in a little bit halfway up and it slowed down the concentric because energy leaked. it was not so bad that i had to drop the weight. i just felt like getting 425x1 paused today. not bad. 2.36BW paused squat.
* since i probably burned out with that 425x1 idea, i just decided to do 425x4 half squats so i dont fatigue myself too much. will take a full rest day tmrw and do jump drills on saturday.
* was not able to vid my paused full squat.. it would have been nice but i had no idea id be strong today. sucks.
