Bodyweight@session : ~84.5kg , season low
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

Kelly Baggett's simple periodization routine

PHASE IV , Peak

Workout #6

Gym switched to summer schedule so by the time i got there it was closed ,  :ffffffuuuuuu:

9'' DEPTH JUMPS:
2x10
-Incredible, FA, GCT, RFD, height, all great! Arguably my best DJs ever.

COMPLEX :
C1 : HALF SQUAT:
C1 : HALF PISTOL SQUAT:
5@BW + 25 kg
5@BW + 25 kg
-That is about 97,5kg load on each leg, which equals to a 122,5kg squat.
That is how it felt too, judging from the last weeks 120 to 130 kg half squat progression
Math comes true, with some fluctuation of course.

C2: JUMP SQUAT:
2x5@20kg
-Very good but not awesome. Potentiation still there on the legs but of course that '20 kg is so light' feeling was gone.

HORIZONTAL LEG PRESS CALVES 'RAISES':
PAUSED SINGLE LEG CALVES RAISES:
13 each leg @ BW + 15kg
13 each leg @ BW + 15kg
13 each leg @ BW + 15kg
-That was 3*F. A little stronger than 495lbs smith. (BW+15)*2 = 200kg/440lbs, yup, math comes true again.

CHINUPS:
BENT OVER DB ROWS:
12 each hand @ 20kg
12 each hand @ 20kg
12 each hand @ 20kg

DIPS:
CHEST DB FLY:
12 @ 10kg each hand
12 @ 10kg each hand
12 @ 10kg each hand

I have good news for you. Yesterday's measurements were after a heavy carb dinner.
Today morning, after a 1500kcal day and a carb-less dinner, measurements were:

Net morning weight : 83,5kg / 184lbs
Waist : 87cm / 34,25''

Online bodyfat estimation : 15.6%
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 15.4%
AVERAGE bodyfat estimation : 15.5%

I guess the truth is in the middle, 84kg / 15,55%

:goodjobbro: anyway...

Lol, easy tiger!
I generally prefer to be heavier, my ideal state would be a relatively lean 90kg.
Will keep cutting for now anyway, see what happens 2-3 kg lower from here, then we may have a long discussion about where to go... I have been reading a lot and thinking about it but it is not the time yet.

BW is the less significant mistake he does, the major one is that he forgets the single-vs-double. Even without BW the formula can still give higher load per leg for BSS with less load. It just has to be a smaller ratio.
Just put 0 for BW in the above formula and it becomes:
squat load per leg = squat load / 2
BSS load per leg = bss load
So the equation is :
BSS load per leg > Squat load per leg => bss load > squat load / 2 => bss load / squat load > 0.5

So, if you can BSS more that 0,5 of your squat, your legs are lifting more weight, even if you were weightless. Adding BW just skews it in favor of the BSS.
Just like in my original example, where squat load = 2*bss load, the BSS was 25-30% heavier on each leg. For weightless it would be tied.

This is no rocket science, this is 10-year old maths and physics.

Awesomeness!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
Couple of milestones: broke under 88cm waist, broke under 16% both in the web-based and average measurement.

When i was hardcore BSS-ing a few years back, i went from DBs to BB and then found that the perfect way to do them is the smith machine, keeps all the benefits and takes out the balance issues. I was able to single 130kg (286lbs) back then while my max full squat was around 110-120kg.
But i am NOT advocating the use of BSS as a main strength exercise. I am not rejecting that either. That is just a different discussion.
I was trying to make a point of how dumb the "bilateral is better because you move more weight" argument is.

Nop, won't appear. Cleared cache twice, tried from private window, nothing. Firefox 30.0 @ Win 8.1

yt button is right there on android default browser though, lol.

EDIT 1 : at the same PC, it appears as expected using IE. So now it looks like a firefox cache thing. Gonna check firefox on different PC and update.

EDIT 2 : Firefox 30.0 @ Win Vista HP SP2 fine too, so definitely a local thing.

We went out onto Hollywood Blvd and found people who claimed to be big fans of the US soccer team and asked them how they think Landon Donovan has been playing so far. If you follow soccer, you know that Landon Donovan was cut from the team in May before the World Cup even started. However that didn't stop them from weighing in on his performance in this special World Cup edition of #LieWitnessNews

Pic of yesterday's half squats depth:



Do you guys think they may be too high? I think that, granted they are used for peaking and not strength building, this is an ideal depth, around 90 degrees knee angle.
