« on: January 23, 2012, 10:45:30 pm »soo if my front squat is near 320 and my bw is at 170 were do you think my vertical and my snatch should be? i think my vertical is not correlating with my strength at all, im 5 10 and my standing vertical is around 25 inches

olympic lifts = upper body hypertrophy? seems like an odd thing to be worrying about in the context.

this week at work absolutely kicked my ass. i'm not even sure why it was so bad -- i've worked longer hours and dealt with harsher deadlines before but for some reason i was just a complete mess at the end of the day on friday. woke up sick on saturday and was just out of it most of the day. had recovered somewhat by the evening and i slept pretty well last night. gonna get some more good sleep tonight, insh'allah, and try to get back on it tomorrow.

a bunch of tennis ball dunks, a few of which were good and a few of which i missed (lol). not as high as the first day i did them. got in my own head after about 13 or 14 jumps and started jumping lower. frustrating.
- MR half tuck x 25,25,25
springy! yes!

missed a squat day and was feeling tired so didn't want to push it. back to volume on friday.
stretched just now, at home. gotta get up at the asscrack of dawn tomorrow for a call with pakistan, so i didn't want to be at the gym too late.

rolled into gym on monday having forgotten shorts at home. could find none in lost and found (they wash the clothes and then leave 'em in a pile in a back room), although i did find a t-shirt i'd lost. knee has been bugging consistently for a couple of weeks now, anyway, so it probably wasn't a terrible thing to rest a bit. foam rolling IT bands hurts but i've actually been doing it, so that's good. need to set realistic goals in order to have any chance of follow-through. full-body SMR every day is not realistic for me.
went to dinner at parents' house last night so no workout. tonight, hopefully will make rim make loud banging sound over and over.
forgot to mention that on sunday i tried to dunk with a soccer ball and it threw off my approach so much that i felt like a complete tard. holding a tennis ball is weird enough. oh well, just got to suck it up and get used to it.

yeah, refeeds are probably a good idea. from an article about AMPk:
Quote from: lyle mcdonald
having a refeed/anabolic phase at some point. You need to turn off diet induced catabolism (explaining why people often lean out after a refeed) and inhibiting it in the brain.
