BW: 80.8kg (goal of <81kg achieved!!)

I only ate 1 meal last night but it seemed to do the trick. Was with a friend going thru something difficult so food took a backseat, got home around 8pm and had my dinner-breakfast. Now im gonna try to stay under 81kg and above 79kg for Nov-Dec while getting my squat up to 6x2x160kg. If i can do that at 80.0kg it would be perfect but no one can expect such exactness from bodyweight tbh.

I didnt log yesterday's workout b/c it was aborted but im getting really sad that the one thing holding me back from my squat goal is my spine problems. Might just lean out a bit and focus on other shit until i can start squatting properly ahgain

BW; 81.2kg

May focus on conditioning and accessory work, quarter squats + back extensions for a while while maintaining squat and leaning out. Plan?

another aborted workout, i almost went for a 150kg single but put it back, my heart and mind were absent. Im taking this week pretty hard, think events from last week have drained me. I dont know how you even deal with that situation, im putting training on the back burner, think i will opt out of bball games for a while too. will post back if i get my mojo back

Hey mate. Sorry to see you're dealing with shit again. Certainly makes it hard.

Is there anyway to get more light and shade to your training? It seems like it's a bit all or nothing. Try and keep your toe in the water so you don't slide back to far. Your mojo is probably closer than you think

Woah feeling pretty beat up but i dont mind .. not doing the daily hypergravity thing this time, just on training days 3x a week. Btw im not finding any potentiating affects this time around .. kinda disappointing! Then again im dunking more or less the same now at 85kg as when i weighed 75kg so i can't complain tooo much. Relying on conditioning to make body comp changes more than diet, im not doing the fasting or the restrictive dieting anymore. Eating clean nevertheless. Found out a staple of mine (mac and cheese lol) has transfats, so ima finish the box and then stop eating that stuff

Couldn't believe it... to have such a man on the top of this country is scary... even as a non-american. I'm kinda curious to see what he does about his «wall» though... I mean this idea alone makes him a big joke.

An observation after the running, today i found while walking barefoot i was more forefoot dominant. it's like my body has figured out how and filled the strength/technique gaps. im thinking it was the treadmill incline running that did it. interesting..

Push Press 6x62.5
Back Extensions 3x12 (PR)
RDL 8x70, 8x110 (kinda weird how there was no rom on these .. couldnt figfure out why, dont care)

Jump rope with vest, about a 100 reps total

BW: 81.8kg

Notes
My squat form is so confounding .. not sure what happened to it but im going to be patient here and try build back to where i was a fwe weeks ago. I wonder why im strugglling with upper body lifts .. maybe since i stopped eating a shitload of meat, my creatine from diet has gone down? thats the only thing i can think of .. cos i failed the first rep with 70kg and even 50kg felt heavy on warmups ..
no game tonight, i still wanna shoot but not sure i can be bothered. shud do some running too on the tready

I remember when i first used a weight vest, it was the most amazing thing. Put it on do some dunks, take it off, do some dunks wow. But since then i havent been able to recreate that same effect. Wearing it chronically seems to be far less effective than using it acutely just for potentiating. It seems the potentiating effect all but dissapears when you wear it longer, during the day. Oh well. Im still going to use it more or less the same way i have been the last coupla days since i first put it on. Incline treadmill and sprints may get my fitness up .. maybe build strength/reactivity in the lower legs which is an area im sorely lacking. But apart from that, i have zero expectation of jumping higher from using the vest. Though i am excited about being more forefoot dominant when i do the incline weighted running .. that may help my RVJ eventually which would be amazing. That effect too disappeared after the first day though lol. So idk, i prob need more frequency?

Ha finally got DOMS from the back extensions! after 3 sleeps. Im considering a few things. I want to play the easter comp at a lean 85kg .. but to be a lean 85kg i must first be a lean 80kg. To be a lean 80kg .. i shud gain some muscle, cos if i cut to 80kg now, i wont be lean.

BS 6x115 (LPR; warmup +5kg), 6x120(LPR), 8x110(LPR)
OHP 6x50, 3x60 (ran out of time)
bball practice
weighted dunk @95kg (LPR)

BW: 82.2kg

Notes:
Squat comeback continues. Thought reall hard about a 3rd set but i didnt wanna fk up my back so went with caution and did a backoff set with 110kg. I want to build up volume slowly with light weight and do the odd heavy triple to realise gains. That might be a better strategy long term than trying to build up volume with limit weights like 140kg+. Tho it must be said i was doing very well getting 8x2x140kg @ 82kg before life got in the way. Nevermind.
practice was cool. someone hooked us up with a gym key and we balled in this sweet gym to ourselves .. i put up some weighted dunks but someone complained bout the vest when guarding me so i took it off. otherwise i was going to play with it on for a bit longer.

BW: 82.5kg

Im ok maintaining 82.5kg for now. But while focusing on conditioning i shud see some body comp changes even if bodyweight stays stable while I eat enough to recover and progress. Looking forward to building up some work capacity which will carry over to fitness on the court. I guess if i was to set a year end goal for bodyweight it may be a lean 80kg? Though i may end up being a strong 85kg, im not too sure how it will work out, i just wanna get some gains, can always cut later.
