Cos it'll be a slightly over 2xBW squat at ~76kgs, a totally meaningless and artibrary ratio but it's something I want to achieve just to say I have done it and have decent strength levels. Once I've got it I'll start doing more vert-targeted stuff like in the good old days. Given I seem to be jumping pretty well atm anyway, no need to rush and do too much too soon.

132.5x6 would be slightly over 2x bodyweight if you were 66kg ;D

It's easier to keep up than it is to catch up...

Haha yep, doing 2xBW for 6 reps would be rutgersdunker/Kingfish status.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

4 max SVJs, highest was probably a little lower than last time, didn't hit the roof  :(

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y89V95oIl0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y89V95oIl0</a>

Squat: Warmup, 2x8@105kgs, 2x8@100kgs --> average weight 102.5kgs, increased on last time

Chinups/pullups: 2x8 for each

BW: 76kgs

So I think short-term goals before moving onto an explosive/speed block will be 2x BW squat (132.5x6 @ 76kgs) and maybe try and get SVJ at confirmed 36'' (either via vertec or rim). That would mean I'd have a great base to try and get my RVJ around 40''.

Gym (quick session):

30 min foam roll/stretch

Calves: Standing calf machine (3x20-25@30kgs) // SL DB calf (2x20@25kgs)

BW: 76kgs

I felt guilty I hadn't been doing more calves. They're nice and sore today.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

Squat: Warmup, 1x8@75kgs, 1x6-7@127.5kgs, 1x5@75kgs

Bit of hyperextension and GHR (the old GHR had been missing for ages but the gym finally got a nice new one)

Random UB

BW: 76kgs

Felt good today. Had that annoying moment when you're halfway through your top set and realise you should have made the weight heavier cos it's slightly too easy  :huh: . I might have done 7 reps here, someone talked to me midway through the set and distracted me (fucking hate when that happens) so I did an extra rep in case I hadn't made 6

I think I might incorporate GHR again now the gym has a better one (easier on the knees). It's such a damn good exercise for hamstrings.

You're on! I think my ceiling is probably much lower than 2.5x but if I can catch up and stay with you while you get there i'll end up much stronger indeed.

Haha yeah I don't think my ceiling is quite that high either - it would take a lot more commitment than what I'm giving now to reach it. But it's worth striving for something like that even if you don't reach it - keeps you motivated.

________________

Didn't squat/SVJ yesterday because I did this 4km fun-run thing, I didn't go very hard but it's been ages since I've run even half that distance so I didn't want to stress my already stressed legs further. Did my core class today and might squat tomorrow depending on how I feel.

The back extensions are hyperextensions?

I think they should really be named "hip extensions" because that's what they are.

4 SVJs, highest:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM9D3wAjUeM" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM9D3wAjUeM</a>

Squat: Warmup, 1x6@70kgs, 3x8@110kgs --> this was gonna be 4x8 but I was redlining on the last rep, nearly lost it. I think ME SVJs take it out of me a bit. 3x8@110kgs is still OK.

Calf: BB calf raise (2x10@70kgs) // SL DB calf: 1x15@/leg20kgs, 1x15/leg@10kgs

Random UB

BW: 75.7 (morning weigh)
