BW 188-192lb. leanest ive been in the last few weeks. squat is holding steady and feels routine. could go to 440lb (as i did not so long ago) if i carb up leading to it. playing more pickup bball. can double hand SVJ 36-37" after a game. best jumps i got was at ~178-182lb BW years back. i might be able to 38+" SVJ standing 2-hand dunks not far from now.

* forgot to note: i did a 2-hand SVJ dunk. first one in a while. did it within 2 weeks of getting back to jumping. just got enough clearance above the rim but not as good as when i was really throwing the ball down and ball hitting the floor before i land. thats how i measure i good flush.

does that not also load up your lower back?

yes it does. the only way i can upperbody push without involving the lowerback is with the dips. will them but not for a while. il just go light on the OHP.

* 2 weeks now of no left elbow issues from the high volume dips. planning of doing some upper body push to build some shoulders/tris but hesitating to go back to dips. db shoulder press also works but tires my lowerback supporting heavy dumbells.

2.4x bw paused atg squat....
 
whats your ratio now?

405 / 192bw = 2.1

not doing anything very heavy but 2.3 using 440lb is doable also.

im not seriously leaning out so not really a good time to check squat ratios.

why dropping max weight, if you're feeling strong?

because i like lifting everyday. i cannot maintain the intensity of 405+ at 190lb bw without tiring out if i continue doing 405lb on light days. it was fine when i was 210 heavy.

* i was doing 8-10plates of smith calf raises for 6-10 reps before. doing 3 plates with fuller range of motion is more bang of the buck.. aiming for 24 reps before i add more weight. i was doing the 8plate + before with pause and a good ROM but the 3 plate ROM feels like at least another 1/2" higher.

* felt very strong with the 405, did higher volume with 315s. i was doing 315x16-18 when i was topping out at 455. 16 was doable today. could be 440x1 paused at this  BW194lb.
* left elbow still not 100% but the deload on the chins is helping fast. full ROM already there without any pain.

* im doing the chins with both elbows with the same bottom ROM. it was a bit tender before so i was tilting a little at the bottom because i cannot fully extend the left side. 20 was not very difficult. could get to 24 at some point.

* left elbow still broken from the dips months ago. cannot do any form of upperbody push without making it tender.

  yikes

i hate dips. but when i start doing them, it feels great. then i do daily 30-40s. then i get tennis elbow. will really commit to not doing stupid volumes after my left elbow heals. il give it until july. weighted chins are still not affected.
