Beginning of next cycle this week.
My original plan was to repeat previous cycle , which was strength/size based.
But now im having 2nd thoughts , only thing i want to change is the squating, so the cycle is not strength/size based but more a transition to power. Still want to get my limit strength up though.

So here are the changes : ( red = what im changing from previous cycle )

Day 1:
Squat MSEM 2x3 ---> build up to 3RM or MSEM 3x1
Bench 4x6
Rows 4x6
Biceps/Triceps 3x12

Day 2:
Squat 4x6 ---> MSEM with a little more volume , something like 4x3x1 or 3x4x1
BSS 3x8
Calves 3x12

Im gonna be doing some conditioning too now to get leaner.
My fav is 2x8-10 ~100yrd sprints at ~60% , ~1min rest between sprints , ~5 mins rest between sets.
Not adding depth jumps yet , thats on next cycle. Gonna add pogo jumps though.
1 jump/dunk session every week too.

How does it look?

Body measurements
After 6 weeks of bulking + 1 week of unloading/undereating.

Comparison with last measurements right before starting to bulk , March 14.

Weight ( in the morning ) :  ~188 , ( +5lbs )
Waist ( navel level , loose) : ~35,25'' , ( +0,25'' )
Thighs ( about 3/4 from knee to hip flexor , flexed) : ~25,8'' , ( +1'' )
Hips ( middle of butt , loose ) : ~41,3'' , ( +1,6'' )
Biceps ( flexed ) : ~15,5'' , ( +0,3'' )
Calves : 14,8'' , ( +0,5'' )

Bodyfat estimation (online calculator) : ~17,3% ( -0,2% )
Bodyfat estimation (BF measuring scale) : ~16%

Green/Red = comparison with previous measurements , green = positive , red = negative

Wow , every size measurement went UP and bodyfat actually decreased.
Only 1/4'' increase in waist while adding 5 "clean" lbs ( last week , before deloading , i was ~191.5 in the morning. So this 188 is "clean" , no water ).
Very impressed , bulking cycle went great... :D

Food poisoning yesterday = no workout yesterday or probably today.  >:( Diarrhea started around 6:30, puking around 8:30. In all I think I made 12-15 trips to the porcelain throne including six or seven times getting up in the night. I'm sort of okay now, but very dehydrated. And all I've eaten and kept down in the past 22 hours is a piece and a half of toast and some orange juice. Oh and a couple of saltines.

Also, I have epic DOMS in my glutes. From the BSS, I'm pretty sure. I think the food poisoning probably didn't help with this.

Damn , sux! Heal soon man...
Had it earlier this year , couldn't believe my dehydration level!
If its any encouraging , i had an amazing workout 2 days after it! LOL

10'8= dunking soon?

Well , because i started from ~24'' max runing vert 3 years ago , i had the chance to study well dunking as i progressed on trying to dunk lower rims. So from my observations on 9'8'' and 9'10'':

8'' above rim : about 1/10  1-handers, palming the ball. 2-handers = NO
9'' above rim : about 5/10 1-handers palming the ball. 5/10 2-handers , soft
10'' above rim : 10/10 1-handers , 10/10 2-handers , 5/10 off the backboard.
Above that you can start throwing down hard.

So 10'8'' + dunk = hmmmmm , i dont think so!
If i could repeat that 10'8'' on concrete (wich i seriousely doubt ) , then id sure dedicate a dunk session to get that damn 10' dunk. But i think im not there yet...

BBall game.
The court we were playing today has the best wooden court, perfect grip and bounce.
We get to play there only once a year though, so i was planning to peak/PR/dunk.
Didnt dunk , didnt even try , did peak and equal PR though.
Got wrist at rim 4 times. Thats 8'' above , 10'8'' , 33'' RVJ, BAM , equals PR , FINALY!!!
Havent jumped 33'' from last June!!! Very happy with it... :D :D :D :D :D



BAM

BAM

MOTHER FUCKIN BAM

On a sidenote , i did a few SVJs too yesterday and they were about ~27''
Thats the biggest SVJ-RVJ gap i ever had ( 6'' ) , but i guess its the difference between a great wooden court and a dusty concrete one...

Yeah, that's sick man, who cares if you missed? Gettin' up is good. Plus, looks like it's going in in the pic, could have fooled all of us  ;).

Thanks man.
That was the peak of the jump , thats why i posted this. Next frame , although i am starting to descend there, is even more fooling : i have my wrist turned down the rim, it looks like impossible to miss it. But it backrimed, LOL And it happened 2 times , 2 absolutely identical jumps and misses! Crazy...

Pic from 24 April dunk session.
Its an off the backboard attempt with 2 steps lead in RVJ.
YES , its a miss! :D

Rim = 9'10''
Wrist = 8'' above     ( 10'6'' / 31'' RVJ )
Watch = 10'' above ( 10'8'' / 33'' RVJ )
Looks like ~31,5'' to me

bam, PR bam.

Oh yessssss...
Didnt plan to PR , as we talked. But 154 was sooo light that i was tempted.
Still cant believe i lifted 220 on one leg! Crazy shit , remember early this year ? i started BSS with 18lbs dumbells and you were "wtf , was that typo"? LOL
CNS fatigued bad though , 20+ max jumps + MSEM squats @95% + MSEM BSS PR realy pushed it...
Gonna sleep like 10 hrs tonight! :D
