Resting fully today. Gave my erectors an hour on the TENS last night, foam rolled a bit. Ate plenty protein. I think im getting better at recovery too and adapting to heavier squatting gone wrong. But the day's still young, doms cud sneak up on me lol. This will be the 3rd week playing ball in a row so i shud start seeing my brain and body coming in harmony on the court. I'll know i have got it back when i start getting blocks again .. that's when i know i have the timing going. Haven't got a block yet, not even close.
I didnt eat chicken tonight either. fuck it. so sick of chicken breast. i havent enjoyed eating dinner in months, bro left me 3 slices of pizza and it was heaven. so deprived lol.

If they can take accurate body temp and HR .. especially when waking .. maybe they can work for judging CNS recovery. Activity tracking will tell you how you've been active so those things can be used to predict how 'recovered' you are .. probably ..

Training today but i dont know if i shud try heavy day or volume day - having missed both of those week :/ I don't think i'll be able to do either tbh but lets see.
BS 3x142.5, 2x150, 5x2x147.5(PR)
Notes:
I think while im still a bit sick sets of 5 are out. Just dont have the endurance for that shit right now, my respiratory system struggles to allow more than 3 reps. So i aborted the volume sets of 5 with 142.5kg and thought to start a RSR inspired cycle of 6 doubles at 150kg. It was ugly, dropped to 147.5kg - still ugly, goodmorning AF out of every single 2nd rep. I think my abs were torched from the chinups (like that's never happened before). But i was not going to leave the gym being defeated by 142.5kg again so fuck it, lets do this now - go for a clean 6x2x150kg next time and try to add a rep every week. Different way to get to 5x5x150kg but i think it will work too. I really should have done 5x147.5kg on monday but life got in the way and now im getting beaten by doubles .. that's demoralising but hopefully i'll get better.

At least my bodyweight went up today. But im still pretty stressed so life is probably just going to wreck all the hard work ive done over the last 6 months. Hate that it takes me the longest time to get into making progress and then it can just vanish.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Passing out on front squats.....
« on: November 14, 2017, 10:41:31 pm »
The problem doesn't occur to people who fs regularly, they've figured out where to put the bar. It's the ones who do them rarely and suddenly do it out of the blue heavy who could have this problem imho. Of all the lifts to ego lift, front squat would be one of the last ones i'd do. They're scary enough as is. Don't really have much sympathy for the guy in the video (i didnt watch) but it gives front squats a bad name when the problem is the lifter.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: chasing athleticism
« on: November 14, 2017, 11:24:32 am »Irrelevant with that choice, when you say AxB , is it sets x reps or reps x sets? Is 10x5 10 sets of 5 reps or 5 sets of 10 reps?
Also, FWIW, KF's volume sessions were 5x8 ( 5 sets of 8 reps ), where those 8 reps were all out, looked more like a short-break MSEM cluster of 8 singles ( without the un/re-racking ).
sets x reps .. isnt that how we read it X sets of Y reps haha. Can we just normalise the nomeclature please? i never say 5 reps of 10 sets irl smh
10 sets of 5 reps of 140 (i did 5555554322 last week only getting 6 sets and partial sets from there on, could have done 7 and gone home if i forced the 5th rep of 7th set tbh).
the pros and cons of repeating are:
pros: repeat 140 and have nicer form from here on as i progress each week by 2.5kg (and taper down in number of sets per week)
cons: waste 2-3 weeks getting back on track
