True raptor. I'd been meaning to ask KF about that. How important is your kalf training to your squatting prowess? Would you recommend I start to train my calves too if i'm after a stronger more athletic squat?

not important but more lean mass on the calves is always a good thing. helps keep your ankles healthy.

Respeck. If you ever wanna try your hand at internet coaching im putting my hands up as a keen volunteer. Would love to have VMO's like that, i didnt' even know such a muscle existed lol :P

i spent most of my time in the 6-8reps x 6-8sets when i was lifting up to 385s (2.0-2.1BW max). 

my vertical summit journal is full of those rest-pause squats without unloading the bar.. very high volume. long rest. protein overload.

* BW210#7. 7.5hr sleep. not 465 strong and the 455 felt heavier than yesterday. this is my weakest. the 14th straight heavy day put up a big fight. the hard part is over. time to recover sleep until wed.
* i want to do a forced deload and stop the heavy days at 14 but i don't want to waste all the good sleep il get on my non-work days. might end up going for the 16th day or go apeshit to 21.

* BW210#3.  8hr+ sleep. 455 went up smoothly without much effort. 470 strong today.  so much sleep and a bit of a higher carb diet. planned to sleep most day time but was already up from my 3am-12pm sleep. also took a post workout nap yesterday at 4:30-6:30pm.  will relax in bed from 4:00pm-5:30pm and see if i can nap again.
* thought about going for a 21 straight heavy days.. might be too much. 14 might be a good number also. will limit top set to 455 during the sub 8hr work nights and see if i can get this going. did the calf raises within 2 day rest. taking too many days off puts some no-use DOMS.

* BW210#2. 8hr+ sleep. 455 did not feel very heavy but i did not have a lot of energy even with so much sleep. i might be pushing this ~ 1:1 protein/carb diet. feels like a good time to bump up the carbs a bit by adding cups of rice.
* 4-day work week starts tmrw night. i have a good chance to maintain this heavy top set pace if i do my workout tmrw afternoon ~5:00pm and sleep that whole wed morning. this will minimize the time gap that i am awake.

* BW210. 8hr+ sleep. was expecting to move the 465 with a little less effort coming from  good sleep and diet. got it up silently but would have failed a 470 today. a good weight to get an 8-day PR.
* will track BW210 (#1 today) and see if i can hold this for 20+days.

* question about the volume of training - the heavier you lift, the more important recovery/rest becomes.

* did the 465#3 without the safety pins. il just make some noise like all the deadlifters there if i miss it. pins messed me up more than save me.
