Got sick over the weekend, high fever on monday. I put off my tuesday work-out for today. Super good plan.

Still coughing and I got a new squat PR. 6x300!!!!! last set 10x275 and it felt like 225.

Feeling great, no funky knee issues, no soreness, no pain lately, just effortless progression with more to come

Thanks everybody for the knowledge and motivation over the years!!!!

 

Damn KF my laptop doesn't do your calves justice.

I just measured my calf for reference and saw the very unimpressive number of 14.5"s.

Talk about girly bone structure.

Winter goal complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on 10/30/12 goal was set at 4x295. That night I weighed in at 162.4 did 4x265.

So long and short effectively 3 months and Tonight 6x295 @ 163.2   

I feel safe saying I have finally achieved my 2xBW squat.

So motivated tonight. everything feels achievable, my body feels great. zero soreness, zero injuries. 

I don't know what has changed lately, but progress has come so much easier. I did notice that I brought back GHR about the same time my squat started going up. maybe that was the weak link?

I am a new believer in warm up, then Jump squats, then heavy set. Thanks Kelley B, for your internet guidance!

New goal is 4x315.

20 more pounds on the bar and finally the elusive 3 plates!

I gained 10#'s per months over the last three, I am not sure if that is repeatable going forward?

Well, they've pushed back the start of rec league play a week...so I pushed back my deload a week lol.

man no rest for the wicked. Super impressive all the weight work you get in while still playing ball as much as you do.

how much do you lift during league?

Keep it up man. Its good motivation for me.

2/2/13 Satuday BW=164.0

went and played b-ball this morning, got warmed up good and tested my RVJ. EFFORTLESS 34" time after time! 

I didn't think to test my standing but It was easily at 30"s today. So one more inch for my 35" RVJ  goal.

With 34"s getting to high palm, I feel confident I could dunk off the bounce with a solid 36".

More work to be done, but solid progress is super affirming that I am on the right track.

new PR on squat 5x290 

I'm going to accomplish the first goal I've ever set! maybe.

well, your upper body is way out in front of your lower body so maybe it's for the best.

(bit late there i know)

probably not for the best but It is how I am built at any rate. I wonder if this kind of thing came easier for me, if I would have the same focus?

tonight's workout......

got off my schedule by a day due to responsibility. I was still sore from hoop on Saturday until yesterday.

Tonight weight felt super light. This workout was the absolute pinnacle of my life. Never have I done more weight for more reps on the squat.
