Yeah that makes sense.

I think I'm going to do something like what I've been doing so far, so no chezkenny, because I feel like I need some volume to grow a bit in the upperbody considering my execrable bench and overhead press numbers.

But as far as squatting goes, I'm thinking of going with a 5 rep set of full squats and a 5 rep set of half squats and a 5 rep set of deadlifts and call it a day (two days per week this). I'll also do some hip thrusts/KB swings for some dynamic component but that's pretty much it.

So it would be 5 full squats, 5 half squats, 5 deadlifts and then hip thrusts/kb swings. The load I'll use would be a PR attempt load on Monday and a lighter load on Thursday.

Otherwise, it's time for plyos baby! If I'm still jumping ~36ish off one leg after 4 months of no jumping of any kind, plyos should give me a boost.

But your form looked good and you were much closer to dunking with the ball in hand than off two feet the last time you attempted one-leg jumps.

It matters if you have ovaries as far as bodyfat measuring goes?

Deadlifts give you a big waist as much as squats give you a big biceps. In fact, squatting can actually be a better stimulus for overall body growth (including the biceps) than the deadlifts are for a "big waist".

Yeah^^^

That's why I did only a 3x3 instead of a 9x3 in the speed day on the half squat. Way too much volume if I do 9x3. But a 3x3 with 120, 110 and 100 kg going for speed is fine IMO. Otherwise, cleans and snatches during this speed day.

Yeah I know what you mean. Well, I'll time my 800m when I get to the track but I have a feeling that it will be a major dissapointment ;D

I don't know what "being in shape" means anyway. It's just an expression people use to describe you getting tired easly or something. But what defines someone as "being in shape"? Doing what?

I'm still dissapointed I haven't seen a one leg jump from you for quite some time... you had a thing going on with that. I don't get why you don't practice it more... speaking of which, what about calf development and strength?

Now now, don't be disrespectful... she's a woman, she has the right to say anything to you, to abuse you, you name it. Not having a dick in her pants gives her that right. You betcha!
