* mid back collapsed midway up with 455. legs feel very strong so i just pushed it up to complete the rep. cable rows did some damage to the rhomboids. i was a least a +10-15lb over the 455 today but i used too much effort because the concentric took a lot longer than usual.

How much did you weigh and what was your squat when you first hit your 40" vertical?

445@170lb

Do you think you could hit a non-paused 495 squat?
If not, then definitely in 3-4 weeks once you get used to doing non-paused reps at heavy weights.
Damn that's one of my long term goals...

no plan on doing anything 455+ without a pause. the point of doing the pause is to use lesser weights to avoid injury. training explosive strength is just second benefit of the pause for me.

most likely i can single a no-pause 475 right now. these 455 singles don't really feel very heavy at all.

I think I asked this a while ago but i forgot. How is your training set up right now?

Seems to me right now you are doing daily (sometimes twice daily) paused squats to a minimum of 405lbs plus a little back off set of 315.
But on some days when you feel better, you are going as high as 475 before that 315 back off.

Whats your goal? How long will you keep this up? When will you jump?

Will you hit 5 plates paused one day?!?!

short term goal (Q1 2015) is to get back to daily 455s  without the need of a midday nap just to power thru the afternoon workout. did that couple of years ago when i was at 210-214lb. im getting back there slowly.

when i get another paused 475, then il think about dedicating training for the paused 495lb (225kg).  most likely il go for a paused rep PR than to train (most likely diet) for dunking again. 

my squat routine has been top set centered since i started doing paused reps. if i were to build more mass for 455+, the plan is for 385-405 no-pause for multi sets of 6-8 reps.  easier said than done.

* not recovered from the shift schedule change yet. will be a lot stronger tmrw. will aim for 455s on strong days and get BW to 210-214 just like last time i singled 455 for weeks.. will focus on backoff volume sets also for conditioning and leaning out.

chest forward, elbows up, weight distributed between your feet, .. etc.. you should know by now.

your problem is fatigue. the muscles that keep the torso upright in a front squat does not recover as fast as the big leg/glutes muscles.

* so strong. did all the singles with breaks as long as it took me to load the next weight. didn't even use collars so thats just seconds in between. took me longer to put on my ironworks. will get 440-455 later. steak and eggs from the holiday worked well

you might do a homer simpson if u fail and throw the bar forward.. bar hits the extended pins and bounces back at you..

good form. good weight. get those support bars out next time. fail safely.
