hey man, check out week 3 here... i've helped you with the weights.. i mean, if your back is bugging don't hit those weights, but if you feel good then those are the goals..

tell me if you think 127kg is too much on those msem squats.. you did it for your first session, we need to keep up a certain strength 'threshold' during this phase, we don't want to be going up and down too much IF we can hit the goal weight that session.. those 3 singles should be hard, but doable for 2 sets, so give me some feedback on that, because you did 120/127 first session, then on week 2 last session you did 120/125 etc..

for example, we want something like this, as an example:

week 1: day 1: msem 127 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 120 kg @ 2x3
week 3: day 1: msem 130 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 125 kg @ 2x3

every 2nd week its bumping up as we transition entirely into explosive phase.








ok so, we'll have a two week rotation so to get some extra volume in on the second week.. this is what I propose:

week 1: power emphasis
week 2: power + strength maintenance

week 3: power emphasis
week 4: power + strength maintenance

ok we'll fill in stuff you are unsure of etc.. and i'll re-edit as you reply.

ya man i don't understand that vid.. i mean the ROM/intensity etc is not even on rehab level.

lol @ mattyg.. ya man, we need 500fps camera to really analyze it.

i'll shrink pics etc if they are too big.. post really good pics of food, stuff that will make you hungry as hell just looking at it.

it's hard to find these pics, these are what someone is pasting me, i'll search later:

very intense exercise, warning this is only for advanced athletes.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-THzlATVUOE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-THzlATVUOE</a>

I brought my camera to the gym today, so here's the squat vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6KrIR5i8g0

I knew I had lower back rounding, and I'm really working on hamstring flexibility (stretch, good mornings,...), glute activation, hip flexor stretching etc, but I need much more flexibility I think... Makes me scary to squat with higher weight, even though I never have any lower back pain... Oh and in the set with bar only I was looking to the side because there's a mirror there:P

This is the RDL vid:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Mk8mBu8Ug

With the 100 kgs, certainly wasn't good at the last two reps, but I'm sure there are other things that aren't good...

i definitely echo what mattyg & steven-miller (on tvs) are saying.. as for the RDL, i don't like going any lower than when my hips stop pushing back, any lower than that and you're going to really shift the focus to your low back.

and ya, no shoes in a gym like that could leave you with some nasty infections! heheh, vibrams or track flats would fit you well, you have a good arch in the foot.

peace!

for some dunks?

x2

ok im liking what im doing lately, but i got to really work on all kinds of different movements.. need to mix it up and get strong enough to do some of the shit in those gymnastic threads:

http://www.adarq.org/forum/gymnastics-parkour-free-running-street-workouts/hannibal-for-king/msg6977/#new

i don't know how that dude does it, such a freak.. but i definitely need to attempt shifting my body position on say bar dips/pullups.. somehow getting to planche pushup/planche dip/planche pullup (levers)/muscle ups etc.. would be pretty fun stuff to do.
