adarq, considering you got up to a pretty impressive RVJ (36 inches i believe?) , How much higher do you think you could have reached.  Considering IMO you didnt even come close to maximizing your squat/lower body strength, you obviously werent any where close to peaking...?

i got ~39 for MAX.. I hit ~35-36 in front of adam, on some warmup jumps before it started raining, at this court in sunrise. I hit 36" on vertec also, I just never dropped vid because you couldn't see it move, but I have a pic. I was jumping alot higher months after that, in relation to rim jumps. I didn't have vertec then cause I had quit MSC.

Well, I had to be very careful pushing up my squat because of my lower back injury from way back so.. But I did get 325 for a single or whatever, above parallel, in my squatting style, during my last high frequency block. I'd say I was pretty close to peaked because training was taking alot out of me, if I relaxed on my training my RVJ would drop fast.

Also, i have a sacral spine issue, which gets aggravated.. I technically need surgery on it, some big operation.. So, when my glutes grow like crazy, it aggravates it bad and I can barely sit down etc, this mostly happened when my stepups/lunges were going up like crazy, but it did happen on squat too, such as when i hit 255-265x5 after all my 20 rep squatting sessions. 20 rep squats also f'd it up.

So I had crap I had to work around... :/    I don't think i could have gotten much higher due to the fact that I always had to work around something.. injuries + sacral spine thing really kept me from going at it hardcore.. that's why i did shit like frequency etc, trying to find other ways to peak my power without having to focus on lifting heavy with so much volume.

pc man

Really?
I'd like to know what the proper definition is to you, 'cause looking at my dictionary I found your name and photo under "hardcore"...

haha! ya well, i'd call myself hardcore when i start fighting.. need to do that shit.

*i bow to you*

data FTW.

im having a problem reading the dates, non-englishness.. but the worst is after the 4th deload, your progression started way too low (in regards to max squat/BW or max squat). Had you started out heavier, you might have reached a new peak, then everything would have been good.

what happened after that fourth deload?

Man , good eyes!!!
2nd deload = not deload , its the end of summer lifting , May 18 , next entry is September 17 , 4 months without lifting.
4th deload = same thing , December 9 to March 10 , 3 months no lifting.
My 2 big yoyos , with obvious strength loss , never again!!!

As for progress after 4th "deload" , what changed is :
Until then , 5RM squat was done in the upper body days, was just building up to 5RM, Then replaced that with MSEM , so the listed weights are actualy the heaviest of my 4x6 sets. You can see that the same time the MSEM graph appears, and it is equal or above with the previous 5RM's.
One more note : the 5RM squat is real , what i lifted. The 1RM is projected calculation. So some days i might lift heavier for 1-2 reps shorter , that doesnt show on the 5RM line but it shows on the 1RM estimation. Thats obvious on last workout before last deload , 5RM squat goes up from 105 to 115 but 1RM down from 130 to 129. Thats because 115 was 6RM and 115 was 4RM

So ya ,everything interesting in that graph and every suspicious graph behaviour, you got it right!

whew, im glad i got it right! hah

thats why journals/data tracking are so important, never again will you make that mistake.. vertical will defy age
