1:0:1 for them, which means no pause or slow eccentric, goal is 3x30.
But the other day of the week that i do seated raises i do 3x15 in 1:1:2 tempo, slow eccentric and pause at both ends of ROM.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : hamstrings : quads and hamstrings and a tiny bit calves
Injuries/aches : none

RUNS & JUMPS SESSION :

Dynamic warmup 10'

2,5 KM ( ~1,5 MILE ) RUN :
Time : 18m:50s
Average speed : ~8 kmh
-Was jog and not run, wanted to do a LISS sesion. Was nice.

JUMPS:
Only the very low ( 9'6'' ) rim was free. I don't like jumping there, cant sync my rim touch well, plus i don't know where exactly i touched it because it is below wrist.
It was a 'bad' session because of the tired legs anyway, was getting 26'' SVJ / 28'' dropstep and 1 step.
And then... i had an apocalypse, an epiphany. I realized i am not actually trying to push off the balls of my feel with everything i got. It is like i have forgotten how to do a ME jump. I think this started with that long-term quad injury i had, that i kept re-flaring whenever i did a true ME jump. And because the time span was too long ( 8 months or so ) it became habitual?
So anyway, i said, Ok, now push it. At the first jump i failed. Next too. I couldn't push, the inhibition is still there. And after a few tries, i got it! Boom, 2'' higher immediately and repeatable. But more important, it felt great. Like the good oldtimes. I was always a voluntary force jumper anyway, so losing that aspect explains why i don't jump what i should be jumping ( according to my strength levels and body composition, compared to myself in the not-so-long past ).
Now i am not running into conclusions yet, gotta see how this works when fresh, if it is repeatable etc etc. But it is just felt great. And it feels very hopeful and motivational.

DAILY SMR:
None, booooooooo.
SMR COMMIT COUNT: 15/28

Yeah, i hear you. Weight also doesn't affect, i had 30'' SVJ / 34'' dropstep being ~90kg and about just as strong (weak) as now.
Maybe if there is a measurement, a quantity for expressing strength at the half squat depth ( or the DLRVJ depth if you will ), i can say i am good at it. For example, i remember you complaining about half squats with what, 100kg? And while my fulls squat max is around 110kg now, i can do 5 reps of half squats with 130kg extremely fast ( concentric much less than 1s ). Is that strong quads? hamstrings? good RFD? i have no clue.

TEMPO RUNS:
3x5x80m@~80%
Starting every minute, times were around ~15-16s.

-Looks like speed ( even low speed ) fucks me up. Horrible FA? Dunno, runups are a mess.
I am going to move my jumps prior to the runs, maybe the accumulated fatigue from the sprints messes with FA/RFD etc.

Meh, i am slacking, gotta step my game up.

What happened from 15 to 20? No workout days don't happen in this journal, KF lifting every single day is a fundamental rule of the universe. 

Yes, you should have filmed and not save for later, because you never know what will come.
Yes, maybe your athletic peak has passed and you will never reach your full genetic potential. Maybe, i probably disagree, but let's say it is a fact.
Even so, that does not mean you can not keep progressing and surpass your previous PRs.
So, for example, maybe you were built to top at 200kg squat and 40'' RVJ, but you only got to 170kg and 35''.
Well, work your ass off and get to 190kg and 38'' that is still doable.
Go get it.
