IME trap bar recruits quads more. that's why it's easier. it's therefore less useful as an assistance exercise meant to target p-chain. not to say it's a bad exercise, obviously.

so much better than tuesday. getting my legs back a bit. still got gassed but we were better with subbing today so i was never on for too long (well, maybe once). and i didn't suck so outrageously after i got tired. plus we blew the other team out of the water; it was close at halftime but i think we outscored them 21-2 in the second half. so that's always fun.

saturday, squat MSEM @ 335. yeehaw.

Damn, the paused leg press calf raises were that bad in terms of generating soreness? Or was it that + the basketball game?

the former. although my shins are sore today and that's unquestionably from the game.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: calves holy shit ow
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: feeling virtuous, also irritated at how sore my calves are

- warm up

- depth drops x 5

- pogosLOLNO
calves would absolutely not allow this. full explosive contraction was not happening no way no how.

- squat 265 x 5,5

- stretch

kept it short. another game tomorrow, rest friday, full body workout again on saturday and hopefully next week i won't be quite such a wreck.

It takes me about 50 mins to 1 hour to complete my weightlifting:
I do 3 combound exercises, 1 legs - 1 push - 1 pull. Each consists of 3 sets, 3 minutes rest between them, 3-5 minutes rest between exercises. My warm-up sequence is the same for all exercises, 3 sets building up intensity, ~1 min between those sets. I don't do abs or stretch at the gym, i leave right after the last working set.

Yep see this is my problem right here. All the rest periods (I know they're required) drive me crazy. Doing this VJB program the plyo exercises alone on one day have about 35 minutes of rest. Then doing 4-5 sets of squats and RDLs with 3 minutes rest between each and warm up sets gives another 30 plus minutes of rest. That's over an hour without even including lifting time.

I'm sure there's a way to fit it all in to 40 mins and make if effective and would be glad if anyone has any suggestions.

yeah, there is. sacrifice intensity. if you want to work at the upper ranges of intensity and have it work, you have to rest a lot.

Lol! I could invite the woman for some cardio in the middle....

LBSS its probably an average from a study. I'd venture to say it differs greatly from person to person. Supposedly diet, fitness level and your tolerance to lifting can all slow the release.

yeah, probably. and i'm with you on the differing person to person. that's why i feel like a number like that is probably completely useless on an individual level.

I read somewhere that after 47 minutes the cortisol level starts to build up pretty fast so...

source? sounds dubiously specific.

yeah i'd agree, looks pretty solid. one little comment: the bar seems to be coming forward a bit. that is, your center of mass is moving forward and back when you basically want to be moving just up and down. not a huge problem and you seem to be keeping your elbows up and the bar stable in any event. dunno, just something that might start to affect things once you're going heavier.
