Are you adding in the high rep sets for variety or is it a strategic move or some combination?

high rep no-pause 315s (>12reps)

- gets my hamstrings thicker (with good diet) and sets me up for easier 440+ singles
- cleans out my form if i develop some bad habits
- conditioning / cardio benefits

Yes, I noticed that. I was referring to the mini bounce he took prior to the jump. Its just like a paused squat but taking a bounce to gather momentum or energy. Just pointing it out. It barely makes a difference in my SVJ.

not a legit SVJ if thats what u mean with the mini bounce... but he did that barefoot.... probably cancels it out.  ;D

*** did anybody see that top secret armswing technique... that fool is propelling himself upward like a chopper.

* higher carbs for the last 2 meals leading to the afternoon workout. got at least another 15lb over the 440. wet BW194lb. i might be able to get a strict pause 455lb at this low 190s BW if i really train and eat for this. 
* burned out on the chins doing so many x10s of the wide grip. rep 10 of the shoulder wide neutral chins felt like rep 16+ already.

* 440x1 was routine. im fully rested with very good diet. i still do not have that explosiveness on the 405 that will make me think about putting on the 455. 440@ 194BW = 2.27x. if i can move that 1-2x/week top single to 455 by thickening up to 194-198lb, i prefer to single 4plate+25lb than this 3piece little things. i most likely will not be able to get my BW to 196+ and still be this lean. 200kg still is a good thing.
* upper body pull with shoulder wide neutral grip chins feels a lot more natural than wide grip vertical or horizontal pulls.  will stay with this and add a second set. i could maintain with 40 total reps a day everyday.
* seated calf raises to 5 plates now and aim for a straight 20 rep.

* did good on the 2nd set of chins after a couple of mins of rest. anything rep14+ is not very strict as my legs are raised forward for easier balance. could not get full top ROM on the 20th rep but i tried. the single  to after a couple of seconds was easy.

* got good sleep. feeling the slight lack of energy due to carb cutbacks. wet BW 190-192lb. strong on the calf raises and the seated lat pulldown rows. i use the wide neutral grip attachment for the rows. i can really feel the squeezing of the midback at the full ROM. doms was spot on.

* improved my breathing on the 315 volumes. could have gotten 16 with 4 clusters of 4 but rep 15 felt too challenging. could have forced another rep but dont want to tire too much. thing i changed with my breathing - 315 is light enough. i dont need to hold my breath on the decent. worked better this time. i was doing full on high intensity cardio at reps 12+. i want to get consistent 16s with clusters of 4 before i plan going for 20.

* got little tired yesterday because of messed up sleep cycle. had to stay awake in the afternoon (10-3pm is nap time) for a company event.
* did horizontal pulling today using a cable machine. if my lowerback does not tire from this, might do more of this while resting my vertical pulling. my abs take a beating when i do high volumes. my lowerbody weight feels "out of place" when my abs are toast.

my horizontal pulling (rows) in this

What has happened since? Injury?

no injury. just got tired of being very lean at low 180lb bw.

i can still SVJ 2-hand rim grabs for 36-37" jumps but low 190s is as lean as i want to be right now.

must be nice to be 5'10 210lb sub10% but i don't have the genes for it.

Hey man. Looks like you got that 40" standing. Did you tape it?

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYYFQBdq5vU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYYFQBdq5vU</a>

got 39 a lot of times on vid. there is 1 flag left (131" - 92" reach). this was 4 years ago and 12lbs leaner.

you are a weird, weird dude scoob.

vertical jump training has this effect on most people.

if you're going to spend good amounts of money to train.. might as well go to the dark side.

juice up and high bar to 2.5BW+. x 5-10reps of SVJ every day or two.. he'll end up at 5'10, 195-205lb 7%lean.. boom.. dunk like nothing. retire.

* quads still a bit bloated from the 315x16 i did 2 days ago.  feeling stronger too because of the thicker hams. the bottom got a little higher.  been sleeping a lot more than usual too.

* the neutral bar for chins i use at the company gym during workdays do not have the open space in between the parallel bars where you can put your head in between. it makes the chins a bit harder because you have to pull yourself up and out then into the bars to get to full rom. makes the reps a little harder. easier to get the last few reps to 20 when all you have to do is pull up and not worry about hitting your head against the bar.

What happened from 15 to 20? No workout days don't happen in this journal, KF lifting every single day is a fundamental rule of the universe.  :P

still did the workouts. just messed up the quote/paste. will find the old entry somewhere.
