Please correct me if I'm off here, but based on 6x132.5kgs being an all-time PR, your 1RM atm is probably around 150kgs now, maybe 154-55 but prob closer to 150 (for example, I squatted 155 1RM after getting to 135x6 - you might be better or worse than me with your real-life 1RM effort...but IMO 6RM is probably overestimates 1RM slightly). You really think going from lifting 150 once right now to lifting that 36 times in a session in less than 3 months is realistic with minimal BW changes? An advanced lifter with a history of back issues? It might be possible maybe....you do get good squat gains from these sort of routines, because you're consistent. Prove me wrong, but personally I think you'll stack on more weight when you get close just to meet the numbers you've set yourself followed by the usual extreme fasting. As many people have said in this journal, this is unlikely to make you a better athlete without the rest of the program. You're skipping sprints and ball because you need the recovery to train for 6x6@150?

Why did you stop with the high rep squats and RDL's again?

seems like i got bored of lifting again.. :/

lifting was a tool for vert/dunking ... but for running, it's not nearly as important (at least right now).. so i don't enjoy lifting JUST TO LIFT.

I was enjoying calisthenics by itself.. but that severe elbow tendonitis scared me away. Every time I think about doing some dips/L-sits/calisthenics I start thinking about my elbow.

I'm kind of back into my "boxing mode" -> keep it very simple. When I boxed, I did tons of running, jump rope, heavy bag, shadow boxing, occasional pullups etc.. I barely did anything else and I just kept improving and got into insane shape.

I still have to be careful (hamstrings, calves, achilles) with my current training .. But it seems I can train harder with less issues by simply sticking to running/sprinting/jumping. Adding in lifting causes more soreness and fatigue (mental) and just makes me feel less relaxed.

so dno..

pc!!

Makes sense! I mean I'm in a similar situation. I tried to incorporate jumps and med ball throws into my routine but at the moment it's just too much on top of the technique work, olylifts and strength work I'm doing. Adding jumps/throws before every workout makes these workouts just drag out too long and it seems that my knees also don't really appreciate the extra pounding.

ya.. for jumps at least: one thing you can do is complex/superset things, during your actual lifts/work ups, or even just during warmups.

ie:

snatch warmup superset with {box jumps or tuck jumps or pogos or squat jumps)

something like that - it doesn't need to be crazy.. Just getting in a few explosive tuck jumps (like sprinters do) is better than NOTHING.. it'll also help wake your CNS up a bit more. For oly lifting & just having a strong lower body, I would still try to get some jumps in. Even these big beefy westside barbell guys keep their box jumps in, for example. As for med ball throws, could probably cut those out for now.

Also ya, it sucks about the knee achyness. Do you think that would happen if you were box jumping?
