fwiw, the SL-DL gap for me used to be like yours, 10" or something. then i started doing lots of layups a few times a week as a warm up. submax jumps but not low-effort. the gap is more like 5-6" now, and my DL jump has gone up in the past two months. food for thought.

practice matters, as we all know.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee kind of bad
MENTAL STATE: okay

- shoot around

- a few submax jumps

terrible. knee hurt, shot was way off probably because bending me knees was so uncomfortable, no pop at all, handles even more embarrassingly bad than usual. at least i had the place to myself. glad i went and moved around but otherwise this was shitty.

those are some good-looking squats.

yeah vag, get with the program. all the cool kids are doing high volume now. it's not like you're PR'ing once a week with your current set up.

I ended up taking 6 melatonin tablets (!) last night and I still couldn't feel sleepy. Apparently training wires up my CNS so much that it made them completely ineffective. 2 nights before when i took the supplement for the first time, 5 tablets totally knocked me out. My star burns so bright in the gym, i know lifting heavy 3x a week isn't sustainable but i dont know any other way. I am hungry for success. Today and yesterday have been good diet days so far. Somewhere along the lines i found discipline but lost others.

Melatonin doesn't work like that.  It doesn't have anywhere close to a linear response.  In fact more melatonin can make you feel less sleepy.  Why are you taking 6x the amount of something?

lol.

Sun Dec 14 405x1 | +20.

that he feels he could have lifted 20 pounds more than that day's max lift. that is, his max yesterday was 425 but he limited himself to 405. do not attempt to use this method of accounting, he earned it through a shit ton of practice.

watch the whole thing. the second-to-last lift is a guy DLing 605 at 155 with a double-overhand grip.

that was an alternate grip. still extremely awesome.

indeed it was. not sure what i was seeing the first time around. but yes, holy balls, what a lift.
