Just curious do you breathe out consciously during the rep? I found out today i squat better when i hold the breath from top thru the bottom and almost up to the top again. I probably release the breathe just as i lock out the last 1/3rd. Is this similar to your experience?

on non heavy reps, i can hold my breath throughout the down and up and a relaxed exhale at the top.

strong exhale on heavy reps on the concentric the moment you win the rep already. you can add some manly grunts to it for more effects to psych yourself on PR volume runs.

don't be the hissing snake bro. so annoying.  :pissed:

* woot.. so strong this afternoon after a strong breakfast and a 6hr day nap. bloated wet bw at 196 from all the fruits i ate this morning. 5 large peaches and 1/2 pound of grapes. the 405 felt so easy that i changed my mind on the 395 and did my volumes with 405. it was not very heavy but i can tell that its not 385 anymore. i could not have gotten a paused 4th rep on the 2nd and 3rd set without grinding the weight up. i could get the rep but definitely not something i would do every workout.
* it would be wise to take it easy tmrw morning and just go 455 top again in the afternoon if i stay 195lb+. still skipping the cardio. still have abs.

* was already strong again this morning. decided to do 405 anyway but held of to single backoff set. did smith machine shoulder press seated and without back support. duplicating the form on my seated machine pressing. if the weight is too heavy for my torso, i will not be strained because my upperbody will just be pushed back. bw 194lb.

* i don't think i can recover from a 405 x4-3-3 daily yet. taking it easy with these single backoff of 4 reps. quads not very sore anymore post workout.  putting more intensity on the midback cable rowing and smith machine shoulder pressing.

* 405x4 still repeatable twice a day. not afraid at all of failing. more afraid of screwing up form and exerting a lot more effort than i have too resulting in a harder next workout. also noticed that as i breath in before the eccentric, i raise my upperback about 1/2 -1". that initial down movement of the bar has a very big effect in smoothening the form. i gain an 1" before going down, and i can maneuver the bar path in that little ROM i gained to where exactly i want it to come down. these are all paused reps so anything gained in form helps a lot.
* made my rowing simple now. i use the same little straight bar attachment with pronated grip. upright rows for upperback, mid rows for the rhomboids and lat pulldowns for the lats. i'll also will stick to the smith machine seated press (without back support) and use the shoulder press machine whenever the smith is not available.

* recovery winning with the 405x4 paused volume. i could have done 5 this morning and still have enough for another afternoon workout. i''m close to attempting the 455 again but don't want to change things because its working. tried the 185 on smith seated press without backsupport. i got pushed back. will stay with volume reps on this exercise.

*body fighting a virus. got good sleep and rest but was weak from my colds. could have forced more reps on the backoff set because i was not so weak to not even try them. did the first and it felt so much heavier. don't want to burn out and turn this little cold to anything more serious. all little exercises were not affected. still strong on those. breathing more but were not a problem.

if you're injured, then there is nothing really left to do but take some time off and recover completely before you do any form of exercise again.

Do you pause on every rep of the 345s at the bottom?

yes, i always pause at the hole but i also gather before i explode up on the concentric so technically not the strictest of paused reps. bouncing on the hole on normal cadence squats tenderize the lower quads fast if the body does not get enough time to rest (i only give my legs a 12 hr cooldown time before the next workout)

^ good coffee is part of my daily routine. i don't need massive amounts to get thru my workout. i just take in a lot because i like drinking home brewed coffee.

gluts and quads get trained proportionally on the oly squat. no need for isolation movement when one compound works.

^ it will not help the squat if you are limited in max weight because your torso collapses way before your legs get a decent workout.

i'm using the heavier jump squats to potentiate the lighter jump squats. i do not go for max jump height. just enough power to get liftoff and enough strength to stabilize the landing. i keep the reps very low on the heavies.

i also find heavy jump squats more effective in waking up my legs and results to a better SVJ test at the end.

* resting my jump squats. the 6x45lb plate calf raises the other day strained some little muscle in my left foot ball area. did volumes on backoff paused reps. 315 is a good weight.
* feel very comfortable with the upright rows and wide grip pullups. the horizontal pulling not so much. i might just stay with vertical high and low pull using pullups and upright rows. the middle should take care of itself. hard to stabilize very heavy weight on horizontal rowing. maybe the body is just not designed to be pulling horizontally. the picking up (upright rows) and pulling up (pullups) feel so much better.

* bw jumped to 192-196 in the past 3 days because i was not aware of the very high sodium content of the costco turkey deli slices. almost 2000g x2 per day in the last few days (cut to little cubes) and added to my unsalted ground beef. i felt stronger and thicker but that much salt cant be good for me if i do it daily. cut back and skipped the turkey for now.

^ lean down first before you do any high intensity jumping. it will save you a lot of wear and tear.

shoulder width stance is the power stance. it is were we are most explosive. glutes and quad powered.

^ clean.

if that were one of my double meals a day, i would increase scrambled eggs to 150-200%, olive oil on it.. and add another 8 pieces of kiwi. will maintain 190lb with that.

* learned something new today. saw a guy doing close grip dips on top of the pullup/ab raise equipment. the machine is bolted to the floor. followed him and did some very good reps. i don't have to worry about cramping my hamstrings because i have to fold my legs so i don't hit the floor. my feet is almost 5ft above ground at the lowest. dips felt awesome. i just have to make sure i don't fall. its not going to be comfortable from that height.
* added depth drops too. start slow and get used to it again. doing these squat jumps and altitude drops wearing my ironworks. feels more solid on the landings. less cushion but a lot better form.

* the one arm cable upright rows taking too much time. did them double hand with the ez curl attachment. stack maxes at 100lb. was already using 60lb for single arm but form is more strict with the 2-arm. i can 20 rep 80-85 for now. 100 was not very heavy but i'll loose the top ROM before i even hit 12-14 reps.

* start of 3-night work week. shoulder pressing is getting tired from more fatigue on dips. dips feel so good so i don't care. i had to reset my shoulder pressing at rep 12 now. if i can't do a comfortable straight 10 reps, i will skip the exercise next time.

* been doing more dips lately but still not as strong as before. i used to go 30-40 straight reps. i can barely do 20. i stop at  14 to reset and get full ROM. i can still go to 20 as is but prefer to get better quality reps by resetting for a few seconds. the shoulder pressing is tiring my tricep. cannot do both with this much intensity. rest on shoulder pressing today.

Decided i dont want to do a long cut down the road. Going to start chipping away at some of this plump by making small changes which will add up over the long term. Adding bitter orange to my caffeine and green tea fasted walking protocol and bumping up daily act from 10 to 12. That shud be around a 10-20% boost to metabolic rate and will show up positive changes over the timescale of months. Ofc im going to stay eating clean, i even picked up some sweet potato today which is a first for me. Turns out the bodybuilders solved this nutrition for bodycomp problem a long time ago, bout time i followd their lessons...

cottage cheese and anything that taste like cardboard.

you can eat oats (the longer to cook, the better) in case you go apeshit and must get some carbs in.
