Squats - Maintenance
[135,185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 405 4x2
- 385 4x1

#10 Explosive 1/2 Squats - 70
- 325 8x2

* used the romaleos for the first time. shoes came with 2 insoles. the competition type has too much arch support. it hurts my feet because im very flat footed. the training insole is better but i prefer the initial feel of the ironworks2. as i warmup, the shoes felt normal.  it will improve the more i use it.. but initial feel is.. romaloes are not $100 better than the ironworks. the shoe details are very good. its a fancy shoe. this limited edition run were all sold out.  :P
* the squats were ok. felt good. have enough to rep 5 but form would have been ugly as last weeks. i need to spend more 6-8 reps with 385 if i want to make progress. a 405x2 top set and 4-6sets of 385 x6-8..
* the partial squats were not ballistic at all. i exhausted my back doing the heavy sets. i was not explosive.. i tried but my 325 from last session was a lot better.
* didn't do SVJs. will concentrate sat-mon workouts for ballistic 1/2s. and wed is some squat volume. im always weak and detrained on saturdays so i might as well do high tonnage on wed to get some carry over 2 days after. thats the plan.

- 325 8x2
 
Jumps
- SVJ 6x2

* this is more like it. my SVJs were consistent at 37-38. top of foam on the first set of jumps.
* did more of the 325s because it felt good and controllable. the 225s were still very quick and explosive. if i can control a heavier weight, il use it more. probably increase 325s to 12-16 at some point.
* i need to do something about my workout following a 2 day off and coming from 3-4 days of 12hr grave shift. i work wed-sat nights and the first workout i do on saturday is always weak.

[135,185x12][225,275x8]
- 225 16x3

Jumps
- SVJ 6x3

* i suck. the 405x5 was probably a bad idea. my SVJs were weak.mid 30s. didn't even get a 37.
* the only vid i was able to take before my camera ran out of battery was the first set. i got a little higher but not by much.

34" SVJ.

#7 Explosive 1/2 Squats - Light 50
- 225 16x2

* legs not firing right. 2 days full rest from a single 405x5 last wed.. did not bother doing a single set after the warmups. speed 1/2s were ok. i should be warmed up nicely for tmrws sets of speed 1/2s and some SVJ testing.

Squats - Maintenance
[135,185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 405 5x1 

#6 Explosive 1/2 Squats - Light 50
- 225 16x2 (1)

Jumps
SVJ 6x1

* was not expecting to be strong in the full squats because my quads were still partially swollen even after 1 rest day from all the high volume speed 1/2s. the paused 405x1 felt really good. the weight felt light. was really just aiming for a 405x3 for maintenance but at rep 3, lower back was still very solid. went for it. rep 4 started to lean forward a bit and rep 5 was another goodmorning. stopped there. 6 reps would have been really nice but not strong enough yet.
* planned on doing 225 + mini bands but the band resistance was not even. the circuit training group was using the mini bands for resistance sprinting.. so some bands are too loose.. i will just buy my own.
* did singles and visualized the jumps.. and i noticed that i was leaning forward intentionally. if thats how i jump.. then its ok for me if my spinal erectors are getting involved. 1/2s felt good with 225. it was very light coming from a 405 set. did not do wave loaded because today is a rest day for speed work.
* the SVJ were surprisingly high again even after an all out 405x5 set. i got top of foam in 5th SVJ.. thats without coffee, without sprint work.. i was not even sweating.. just a cold 38" SVJ. lol.
* saturday is a light squat maintenance again with some light 50 1/2s and sunday is jump tester day. il vid with my nikon s4000.. 720p ;D

^ my focus right now is explosive and controlled amortization as you suggested. the peak force at triple extension is not important to me at this time.. simply because a 225lb bar bouncing off my back is uncomfortable. i might give bands a try at some point just to make sure the bar stays at my back.

Explosive 1/2 Squats Waveloaded 50/70
[135x8][225x6][275,325x4][365x2]
- 225 12x1 (4)
- 325 4x1 (2), 225 16x1 (4)
- 325 4x1 (2), 225 16x1 (4)
- 225 16x1 (4)

Jumps
SVJ 4x7

* more volume explosive work to iron out technique. this is my 5th workout with explosive 1/2s.  i give myself ~ 18-24 preparatory workouts to learn and prepare for the higher intensity later on. i will max on 50/70. 225 is perfect for now. 325 2nd set felt really good. i could have gone 4 straight but decided to pace myself and pause/gather after 2 reps.
* 365 is too heavy right now. im not solid enough to control an explosive eccentric with it. i leaned forward due to the weight. it was not heavy but i definitely need more time with 70% and less weight before i use 80%+
* SVJs were as good as yesterday. 37-38 average. i even got a 39ish when i focused on exploding my armswing too. lol. high rep jumping corrects my form subconsciously. i always visualize both my arms reach high up fast together during the explosion. today, it just happened that i also focused on my left hand exploding down to get some added lift while the right goes for max touch.

Quote from: darqiu
get those explosive half squats to 405+.
* not happening anytime soon. i already struggled with 365lb today. used it for the first time and the fast eccentric is a bit too much too soon.  im not solid enough to explosively drop and explode with 365lb. probably in the next 8-10 weeks, il use 365/385.. but IMO, 405 (85%RM) is too heavy to be using for a speed movement. i could be wrong.. but right now.. i can tell that there is no way i can accelerate the eccentric of 385lb+ under good control. im not turning my explosives into a regular 1/2 squat session.

I got a Valentine Gift - Nike Romaleos  :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

* vids taken. SVJ will be baseline measurement. il start to use the jump tester once i clear the black foam consistently.
* some jump drills probably tmrw with another set or two of explosive 1/2s if im feeling good. tues definitely a rest day and wed is another squat maintenance with some 50/70% heavy ballistics 1/2s with low reps..

not bad at all. the wide stance and thin waist line makes it a lot tougher to stabilize at the bottom.. :headbang:

i push my belly against my quads at the hole for added stability.. thats why i dont stand wide.

Squats - Maintenance
[135,185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 405 3x1

Explosive Parallel Squats Waveloaded - Volume / Light
- 225 8x1
- 325 6x1, 225 8x1
- 325 4x1, 225 8x1
- 225 8x1

* 2 days off and squats are not as bad. not really that strong to get 405x4 but certainly stronger than when i take 3-4 days off coming from a low volume squat workout. i still squat best a day after a light squat routine.
* since the barbel parallel squats felt good last time, and lance is annoyingly right most of the time.. decided to ditch the air resistance squat and do conventional parallels.
* call them parallels because if think half squats, i end up visualizing half the vertical bar travel, which with my style of squats is barely breaking 1/4s. i double checked that with my vids.. i drop almost half way down and im still barely even at a 1/4s.
* since im still at the learning part of the movement.. i will use my capacity to absorb the eccentric as measuring tool of my progress - i have no idea how to judge how explosive / fast my concentric or my ammortization is. for today, i was easily doing 4 rhythmic, pause and another 4 on the 225s. the 325s where still singles. if i can do the same 4 on, pause and another 4 using 275s with the same form and control as a did with 225s.. then there is progress. on warmups, i do 2 consecutive on 225s. i tried to do the same today with 325 and i knew that im not ready because my torso shifted forward and i ended up using  my erectors to correct it. i really planned to take a vid for form analysis but my camera battery was drained. il do it next time.
* i will build up work capacity / preparation for a cycle of explosive parallels using 135/225 as wamrup on jump days | 225/325 - volume/preparation | 325,365 high intensity low reps | 385,405 max.. all wave loaded. thats the plan for now. i will even try a 12-16 reps on the lighter weights doing up max 4-6 rhythmic before resetting. see how it goes. a good goal for me is to rep 325/365 with the same control as im doing right now with 225/275.

some pics of my depth:

top


full bottom - hams to calves


vertical bar travel half way down - 1/4 squats


parallels


full again..compared to parallel. there is a big difference.

Squat | 2.1BW x5 | 405 / 192lb | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWiOKP3MAa0

i dont go heavy so no 1RM attempts. the 425lb vid i had was an ugly warmup single.

i dont deadlift. 6-3 wingspan for a 5'10 makes it very easy for me to DL very heavy weights. DL back in 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Fm0fwDGN4
