I think its a good idea, that will make progress continue longer and you wouldve eventually had to add another squat variation anyhow.  Front squats are always a great exercise to add for people who can do them pain free, keeps the squat "true".

Thanks , keeping the change.

Did you feel your legs loaded? That's the holy grail. Am impressed to see you have such good form straight away. FS fits you like a glove.

I felt that legs load perfectly but i didn't do enough volume, this Friday that i am adding them in the 3-sets-progress routine will tell more.
I was impressed too, before getting the lifting shoes i was unable to do a single rep even with empty bar, no exaggeration.

Quad has been bugging again yesterday ( 18 November ). Stretched and foam rolled. Feels much better today , not sure if i will squat though, i will probably warmup and go by feel.
Did a little research in my log abut that injury reflaring:

Injuries/aches : none

Went at the park, did bball stuff for an hour or so, mainly wanted to get a good blood flow in the legs and some cardio.
A few 10' rim jumps at the end, horrible: 10'2'' SVJ ( 27'' ) and 10'5'' ( 30'' ) in all other jumps ( dropsteps, 1-2 steps , RVJs ).

Went at the park.
Only the 9'8'' rim available , FML , it's too low.
Quad felt much recovered. Dunking was easy , got some hard dropstep and DLRVJ dunks.
Tried some rim jumps , SVJ 28'' to 29'' and dropstep 31'' to 32''. Dropsteps felt submax so i tried a ME one , didn't work , i felt a slight bugging so i stopped.

At the park for ~1 hour, shooting around and jumping. Quad is MUCH better, bugs only on ME SLRVJs now so got in much more jumps this time.
Managed to get consistent 30'' to 31'' dropsteps and DLRVJs, touching base of palm at 9'10'' rim again. Missed all dunks though.
Good shit.

Injuries/aches : left quad bugging a bit today , the price to pay for yesterday's increased jumping volume.

  Looks good vag, very nice!  How did they feel?

Thanks Lance!!!
They felt great: Very natural and smooth, torso staying upright without having to cue it, achieving full depth very easy. Loved them!
On the other hand, at the last 2 sets ( 60 and 70 kg ) bar felt uncomfortable to stabilize on chest/shoulders.

I think i will replace Friday's back squats with front squats and see how it goes. That way i do backsquats monday, RDL wednesday, front squats friday, all with the 3-set-progress scheme.
Are you ok with that change?

Introducing... FRONT SQUATS!!! ( entropy must be going  :wowthatwasnutswtf: )

I have never front squatted ever so far so i ramped up 3's and filmed all sets to see how load affects form.
I lost depth at 154lbs so only did a single , also threw a backsquat single for comparison.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8I-P3mxFYI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8I-P3mxFYI</a>

Feedback in all aspects ( depth , form , bar positioning/grip etc ) very welcomed as im a total noob in front squats...

Heal that leg man , be patient and do everything right , don't rush it back! ( Says someone who is unable to do that and pays the price!  :uhhhfacepalm: )
It might be a good idea to open a relevant thread in Lance&adarq Q&A section to have it for future reference/updates...

i wasn't warmed up enough because i was rushing in advance of old man basketball. fuckers. but jumps would have sucked anyway despite the good sleep the night before. legs were just heavy.

You can't expect good jumps 2 days after doing 16 singles @ ~90%. I guess you know that already.
I tried last year with 8 singles@80% 2 days before and was still unrecovered  :uhhhfacepalm:
Awesome squatting lately, it SHOULD have some impact on jumping when you jump rested/recovered...

« on: November 16, 2012, 04:02:32 am »
Why do you think you are paranoic? Every single article that talks about recovery will have "good eat and sleep" somewhere in there. You give your body poor rest and poor nutrition , it will give you poor performance.
