Legs feeling OK, but with slightly achey heels.

bodyweight without shoes = 82+kg in winter clothing

Soft tissue work - lower body


at home - Week 8 - Lower body A - Heavy

5 min Walk, and some backwards walking to warmup.

peterson setups BW x12
supported ATG split squat BW x12 + 30 sec hold at bottom on last rep
Goblet squat 10kg x12


alternating sets 2 mins rest
A1) Kettlebell swings onto toes  - 24kg 4x6
A2) Power cleans + front squats - in flat, minimal trail running shoes

clean complex 20kg x8
power clean + 3 high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 40kg
power clean + 2 high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 50kg, 55kg
power clean + high hang power clean + 3 front squats x 60kg  - current best high hang power clean
power clean + high hang power clean (missed) + 3 front squats x 65kg
2x power cleans + 3 front squats x 70kg

60kg high hang power clean is exactly what my e1RM on high bar squats says I should be doing, it's always around 43% of it, 140kg/ 305lbs as of today.
And this is the same as my high catch power snatch. My power clean is usually around 63%, so 90kg now.
Now all I have to do is get this to my body weight and I'll should vertical jump 40 inches, and 44 inches off a run - the bare minimum I need to do a clean dunk off the dribble
Will need a 180kg squat, 396lbs at 75kg/165lbs bodyweight.....

Squats -

High bar squat -  barefeet - 70kg x5
oly shoes - 80kg x4, 90kg x3, 100kg x2, 110kg x1

105kg, 231lbs x10 @ RPE 9
rest 7 mins
110kg, 242lbs x 6 @ RPE 8

105kg was a bit too light on High bar squats, wanted to do 2 sets of 6-8 reps.... oh well 105kg x10 = 140kg, 305lbs e1RM ... about 1.72 x bodyweight
So I should be jumping 28 inches off vertical and 32 off a run, and so I am.
Will use 110kg next session, or maybe 115kg, considering I'm expecting to be stronger by then... something over 80% of 1RM

rest 4 mins
Front Squat 90kg, 198lbs x3 @ RPE 7

Thought about doing another set, but I'll leave it for future sessions

Safety bar squat 90kg x3, 100kg x2
Sub-maximal explosive squats -
75% of e1RM - 1+ mins rest
102.5kg, 225lbs 4x4  @ RPE 7 on last set

Gees these felt hard as hell compared to high bar squats!
Hits your upper/mid back and abs way harder, and feels unstable- like across between a front squat and good morning, in how it pushes you forward. on the way up.
No wonder I have a hard time progressing on the SSB, even a sub-maximal weight feels near limit.
So I will no longer consider the SSB as a primary movement, just use it as an accessory

awesome! haven't seen that in a while.

it's been a while! since last summer. hoping to make it a regular thing, maybe a few times a week. a little cross-training never hurts and we play at such a chill pace that i doubt it'd interfere with running at all.

on a related note, my dad has inexplicably lost ten pounds in recent months. he only weighs 145 now. he's otherwise apparently quite healthy, but he doesn't like being even skinnier than he's used to. gonna start doing some more workouts with him and my mom, they're both concerned about strength and muscle mass. i've been meaning to get going on the same, maybe we can keep each other accountable.

also i won $20 off my mom yesterday because i bet her she couldn't do a single pull up or chin up and she was very confident that she could. easiest $20 i ever made.

(btw adarq we need the crying-laughing emoji on here...)

meh....disappointed, but its cheddar broccoli soup, with bacon wrapped chicken thighs (brushed chicken with a marinade of mustard, worcestershire, dehydrated onion, etc), and a basic tomato cucumber salad with avocado oil and lemon juice.
