* il start to log my squat jumps to track fatigue. will not go for daily 455s at this time. im holding a 25lb hex plate on each hand. focus is on the smooth landing and transition to another jump, good plantar flex on takeoff, and good force absorption via quads/glutes on the drops.
* goal on squat jumps - 2x45s up to 12-16 reps with smooth/effortless movement.

Well IMO that's just a very negative view on your own state of affairs. You might just think it's being realistic but slow clunky people can become fast athletic people with smart training and commitment. I've seen it, others here have seen it, fuck, adarq himself was a slow-twitch long-distance guy before he started training for vert. There's plenty of examples and you haven't really given any convincing reason why you CAN'T be like that as well. Why not just change your journal name to 'chasing kingfish' then?

I'm sure you'll think I'm being naive and you seem pretty set in your opinion on this but there's no logical reason to hold self-limiting beliefs when it comes to athletic training. Every other aspect in life you need to be realistic, but not training. No one is going to laugh at you, you've literally got nothing to lose except realising what your actual potential is. Most people don't even scratch the surface.

 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

i don't do RVJ but that doesn't mean im plyo deficient. i do so many volumes of low-mid intensity jump drills using jump ropes and hurdles. those + the actual SVJ drills.

i consecutive double leg jump 36" hurdles 8-12 in a row. those are my favorite aside from the 2-hand SVJ dunks.

even simple 1-min set of single leg jump rople drill (front to back, and side to side) will get you stiffer in just a couple of weeks of doing them consistently.

strong plyos eventually boost your squat too. :headbang:

got the same "hurting bones in the balls of my feet" feeling after doing repetitive 36-40" altitude landings on gym hard wood flooring. to do it on concrete is just asking for an injury.

BW still staying in the low to mid 210s with forced eating. the only way id probably get a paused 225kg (495) is to push my BW to the mid-high 215s or 220-225. don't really see myself being that big without being very fat. i might have to go back to no-pause squat just to get that weight up.. but im not very confident in bouncing with that weight.

*  475#7. not calling it a max (+0). i didn't collapse the upperback and had good consistent speed upwards, as opposed to a noticeable decay of that initial burst of speed from the hole up to the 1/4 squat position and then grind the rest..  can't really say also that its a +10 since anything added to a very heavy weight starts to feel exponentially heavy too. id get an uncomfortable 480. not really sure if il fight and grind a 485.. id probably lose. 
* the no-pause 315s after the 475.. felt like i can curl that weight the way it felt on my back. had to stop at 12 and pace for tue. will see if the 405 felt this explosive again tmrw. will not go 455+ whatever happens.

- BW 212-214. still not as strong as last year sept-dec when i singled this 455 daily for 8 straight weeks with some 475x1 in the mix. don't really know how i did it at the time, but can't complain right now. confident enough today to do the 455 in the power rack all the way out so i don't bottom out. no pins to save me in that one.. just drop and shake the whole place if i fail.

Things are getting serious again!!!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:  :almostascoolasnyancat:  :ibsquatting:

 :headbang: i already feel strong enough for 440+ on some days. just prefer to reset longer and do more volume/conditioning work with 315s

So these are actual reps, no singles?

daily backoff 315lb reps is a straight set without racking of the bar until i get all reps. 12 reps is resting, 16-18 is some cardio work. 18-20 is near max
