SQUATTED 210 lb at 135 LB
1.55xBW SQUAT LETS GOOOO

My previous top was 190x4 the monday before.
i was just warming up and everyones is talking about unrackking and stuff on here.  Last warmup set was 185x1. I say let me get an unrack set in, and then i was like how about 210 thats about 1.5xBW. I take it out. Core is tight and it feels light. SPONTANEOUSLY, I go down, and all i feel is glute and ham. I just barely hit parallel, then i go back up. It was a struggle getting to the halfway mark, and then i exploded up. Then i did it again for a second rep.

idk if i should change what i am doing b/c that was after a week of squatting only once instead of 2 or times.

congrats man, well sometimes you might need to deload a little (1x/week) and then come back strong.. might have been the case.. mgiht need that every 4 weeks or so.

your squats have been progressing though havn't they? on 2x/week?

pc

it was 3xweek but it kind of stalled at 190 b/c i do so much basketball on the side at least 3 hours per day of bball practicing and playing,eetc

i tried doing this. just focus on your own man

The best way you can focus is to give yourself a very specific task like a worksheet or reading something specific.

Best way to study is probably to find things online; wkshts, notes, etc; summarizing what you should know and you going after it.

Your mind needs very specific instructions. If i told you to go and to the grocery store and go get some groceries. You would be asking me all kinds of questions like what foods, how much food, what brand, etc. If instead i said get 2 red grandma apples, a half gallon of organic valley 2% milk, and 2 snack sized hershey chocolate bars, you would be able to go get it with out worry.

Now your job is to do the same with the studying. Give yourself tasks like this and you will comprehend.

You could also work in groups with intelligent people but not tooo intelligent.

Any foods are really just placebos, but lemons might help a little.

i hear everywhere pistols are so great
but is it worth the time to learn how to do them if your a basketball player

what are yall thoughts on this. after a deadlift workout i seem to feel less explosive and tired when i practice

lance's variation works great.

I have been following Muscle Gaining Secrets by Jason Ferrugia for like 5 weeks now, and it is the SHIT. I have a problem though.
It says to do 1 arm dumbbell rows, but this was my first training session with them and I maxed the out tthe highest dumbbell  i have which is 45lb.

What is a good rowing variation that i can put in its place other than the bent over barbell row. I have a power rack, up to 45 lb dumbbells, olympic barbell with up to 300 pounds of weight, and an adjustable bench

does calf size really matter. Like if you have a short calf.

do you do the whole thing on your off days
