Oh don't post that, adistarhj will be all up on my page in no-time!

Interesting. I wonder if that's a neural issue or a muscle loss issue.

I can't afford to use more than 130 kg because there's too high of a risk. I don't have the luxury of a "pin cage", I have to squat outside of the squat cage that has fixed pins, so I can't adjust depth. If I full squat I go lower than those pins, so I have to squat outside of that. I only stay inside of the cage when I use 140, and that's dangerous too since if I fail that lift I have to get pretty low with a weight I fail with, and that's very hard and dangerous.

So I have to use a weight I can kind of control well enough for my MSEM. Max squat two years ago was probably ~115 kg high bar. Today is about ~145-150 low bar.

The idea is that if I lose some weight, do plyos, sprints, work better with my bodyweight as a stimulus while maintaining the squat I should be good. If I get ~75 kg with a squat of ~150 then that's 2x.

One thing I could do is totally ditch the assistance work that I currently do. Just focus on squatting with a bit more volume. That could help me save some fatigue and be fresh enough for plyos and sprints. But I still don't know what volume/scheme to follow, if I'm not doing Smolov JR.

Maybe something like 2x5+2x8? Say two times per week?

I could go with 2x5+2x8 Monday and Thursday, and plyos on Tuesday and Friday, with some 3 on 3 ball on Saturday and Sunday, or if the track gym is open, do there some squats with less volume (maybe sprints then 3x5 squats every Tuesday and Thursday, and ball on Saturday and Sunday). 3x5 two times per week, I'm thinking, should be enough of a stimulus for strength increases.

Adarqui's ever diminishing bodyweight helped him, I think, to have that one-leg jump. Strength helps too

I have great respect for his abilities as a discusthrower, but seriously. Sitting down on a bench with that kind of speed and 230kg on your back makes me think stupid SOB. His excuse, to save his knees.

That's retarded, the way the back seems to load under torque is incredible, that will blow his back sooner rather than later.

You have a Mac?

You think too much at your current level. I used to be like that so it's hard to be "hard on you", but you should lower the weight you do squats with, do proper form squats and build from there. Once you get to a serious number in the squat (1.5+) then you could worry about doing more explosive stuff etc.

Did the competition allow regular cleans or you had to do power cleans and power snatches, cause you just won the competition using power versions of the lifts. If you would learn and you could use regular cleans  and regular snatches you would probably shatter national records.

That's absolutely correct.
