to my squat bro.. stop it with the over thinking and come back to the drawing table after you get to 2.2-2.4BW.. thats where all the good things happens.  goodluck

lol kf you're like the devil on my shoulder. some part of me wants to drink milkshakes all day and squat 500 at 195. 

glad this has sparked some interesting discussion, and i under-contextualized T0ddday's advice. it was, like he said, reflective of the fact that i'm close as hell to being able to jump high enough (and have been for some time) and trying to peak above and beyond what i do week-to-week is worth considering. he's right that limit strength is gained and lost slowly, and i'm not afraid of my squat going down -- it's done that before when i've been injured and getting back up near 2x bw is not especially difficult for me. i've got short, big legs, i'm pretty well set up to be a decent squatter.

also, adarq, i am not ready for verkhoshansky-style shock. a 30" depth jump is too much for my body, even 24" is pushing it. doing 2x10 is not happening, let alone multiple times per week.

saturday was an attempt to see how i would handle doing a lot more jumping volume than i'm used to. the answer is: meh. but that's not surprising, given how comparatively little emphasis i've given to that stuff.

incidentally, i can do pistols all day if i'm wearing oly shoes or have my heel elevated a little. or if i'm holding a light DB in front of myself. they are not hard for me. biomechanics: we are all different!

congrats on finally showing the old geezer who's boss. 

1. shoot around, mixing in layups
2. gradually increase intensity of layups, sets of 4-8 continuous, alternating legs, rest = three made FTs
3. joint circles, stretch hip flexors
4. SVJ x 1-2
5. work out T0ddday-method-style
6. ME DLRVJ x 8-12, ~60s between reps
7. fin.

i was watching the asian athletic championships on tv when i was in mozambique in 2011. first major international comp that he really showed out at -- he was 17! i just remember thinking, damn that dude is tall.

don't call women cunts, and when women get made when you degrade them, maybe think about why they got mad.

how's your finger/hand healing?

15 minutes before the gym closes and I'm still at work. Quite a week. 

EDIT: worked until 11, got home ~11:30, was supposed to have a call at 7:30 this morning (Friday) but I woke up to find the dude had cancelled it overnight, went back to sleep, woke up at 10.

Throat/chest cold continues apace.

what's your main goal?
