adarq week 8: mon
AD warmup
prehab
ME jumps, did a handful.
Depth jumps, 24"
3 x 10
REA squats
3 x 3 x 80kg
Squats
6 singles x 130kg
3 singles x 132.5kg
3 singles x 130kg
on the 2nd set, felt that the first 10-20% of the concentric portion wasnt as fast as could be, though the rest of the way up was as fast as previous sets, so dropped the weight abit. but pissed with myself, i went on and did somemore.
4 x 100kg
2 x 4 x 90kg
of this thing like REA, where i drop, but instead of going up explosively, i tried to absorb the weight. my weak idea of working my force absorption.
OHP (replaced the bench with it, as i felt like i havent done this for a long time)
5 x 20, 30, 35, 40, 40
10 x 30
10 x 25
15 x 20

dips 25
leg raises 15
then i got chased out by the gym. or rather, it was the last 15mins, and i had to rush off for my shower. haha.

damn...
i was doing DJs the other day, and the thought came to me. i think i jump mostly off RL now (meaning right foot hits first, left then hits ground, gathering into 2 feet tgt, and jumpoff). gotta make a mental note to see how i jump haha!
meaning i should stick out my right foot first, drop off, and jump?
haha, damn, i was doing it left foot first. not sure why, just came naturally, maybe cos of the past SLRVJ influence.

game was postponed. caught despicable me, funny shit.
feel pretty good all round. thought the back was perfectly recovered, but that sore bit at the lower left still slightly bugging. but just take it that im perfectly good, i'll cut back abit if i find things too tough
there's this spot on the ankle that's kinda bugging, but thats from a bad sprain from a year or so ago. always been there since. anything one can do to cure it?

ooh... we'll see abt the next part of the journey i suppose.
its more an issue with the time needed. the gym's having a pretty good promo, so prices are good.
the money i spend on transport would be comparable to the fees for the gym near home.
its just that im used to the company gym, or rather i make a nuisance of myself there and they dun really mind, cos we sorta chummy with everyone else. i mean, i go kinda apeshit trying to psyche myself up before a near limit lift.
and even more so, cos im really hoping this next round will be really good, im preparing to really concentrate and go full blast on it, lifting once or thrice a week, whatever is needed, just doing what is optimal. just that, well, work and school comes into the picture. u tell me what i should do, and i'll see if i can work the job and sch around it haha.
thank goodness im at my last couple of modules, so it should be relatively easier on the school front.

ah... didnt notice vag had vids up haha.
oooh, so its alright to do them with the smith machine?
i tried BSS early in my training days, but i couldnt really balance properly when the weight was relatively heavy for me, so i stopped doing them, replacing them with squats.
