squats look very solid! and damn 375lbs x 8 on RDL's that's some strong stuff. I did conventional deadlifts with the same weight for sets of 5 yesterday. haha

Want to spread the word about my older bro. He's coming up in the EDM world very slowly. Artist name is Alastor:

He makes more cheesy stuff with Gareth, and more trancey and deeper stuff with Jerome. Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond play his tracks on their radio shows sometimes.

damn really nice. second track is REALLY HYPE; had to put my headphones on for that one & really turn it up.

should put that in the music subforum too.

Just had no motivation. I'm due for a de-load. Can't wait to take it on Thursday (squat/bench day).

I should have at least done one heavy set of RDL's. I know I'm going to regret not doing it. I'll probably throw it in in my next workout. Not RDL-ing or doing ANY lift for a whole week kills my strength in that lift pretty quickly.

Felt really crappy and unmotivated going in. Felt amazing and refreshed when i finished. Thursday is a de-load. Then I have Friday's workout (which isn't so stressful) and the weekend off. I should recover nicely for next week

Going to fix my resume tonight and email it out to a few people. One of the deans at my college its good friends with a professor at my college who works at Deloitte in cyber security. That dean told me to email him my resume and it will be forwarded to that professor. Actually Im taking a class with that professor next semester I think. Or after that. Last semester he gave internships to 6 kids in his class. I just want to get in early, though.

I met up with a former student of my school (with a BS in Comp Sci) who works at Ernst & Young in their cyber security division. They started him at $68k/yr and he doesn't have a master's, and minimal experience. I'm in a similar boat but I'll have a master's. He told me about this professor at our college works at Ernst & Young in their security dept and that I should get into contact with him... I will email that professor with my resume and some direction. Who knows, maybe I can get a job there with this connection plus a master's. I mean if that other kid can do it without a masters and no connections... why can't i?!

Hopefully I can land some kind of internship soon and quit my current full time job (property management). I graduate with my master's in December. I better have a full time job lined up for then. It's time to make real money, keep saving while living with my parents, and invest into real estate instead of managing someone elses real estate right now.

Dreyth · « **Reply #621 on:** January 28, 2016, 11:00:50 am »

My friend set up an LLC to flip properties with. I may do it too. We are getting serious about making money in real estate.

I was feeling great throughout the day and couldn't wait to lift. Before I got there I started feeling crappy though. Then I realized it was a de-load day... thank goodness. I don't know if I'll be able to squat 385x3 next workout. But you know what... I felt like absolute crap and I was able to squat 380x3 without a hype up. Last workout I had no motivation and did it too. So I can do 380x3 consistently even when not in the mood for lifting... that means something

I think I will throw in an extra lifting day on Saturday where I just work up to a 385x1 squat, and 245x1 bench. Also throw in some RDL's because I missed them last workout. The extra frequency has always helped me in the past. I especially need it for the RDL's.

I also recorded my third SVJ. I'll upload a vid of it soon.

Download this so you can play frame by frame:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/frame-by-frame-for-youtub/elkadbdicdciddfkdpmaolomehalghio?hl=en-GB I counted 24 frames. First frame was heel leaving the ground. Last frame was toes touching ground. That's how it's counted, right? 24 / 30 = 0.8sec in the air. That's 30-31 inches according to this chart: http://www.addoa.com/blog/diy-how-calculate-your-vertical-jump The vid is 60fps though on my phone. I'll try to get a more accurate read frame skipping on my computer. Edit: counted 48 frames at 60fps, giving me 0.8sec again.

According to the VJB calculator, at a weight of 195 and squat of 420 I should be jumping 36" standing. Damn I'm pretty short on that. The calculator has been very accurate for me in the past though, when I was consistently playing basketball. Makes me realize that movement efficiency helps SVJ's a ton, not just RVJ's.

BTW, I didn't know I used so little knee bend!

LBSS · « **Reply #624 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:15:58 pm »

wow you have very little dip compared to me and kf. i wonder if you could jump higher if you spent some time working on a deeper countermovement. there is some experimental evidence to support a correlation between countermovement amplitude and SVJ height.

Dreyth · « **Reply #625 on:** January 29, 2016, 03:59:24 pm »

Its VERY shallow! Especially for a SVJ. Can you send me some info about this correlation? Id like to read about it.

I'll try getting deeper next workout. If it doesnt help then maybe i just need to get used to it. If it still doesnt help, then maybe lookint at it from the opposite direction would improve my vert: Quarter squats during a peaking phase would probably help me a ton.

LBSS · « **Reply #626 on:** January 29, 2016, 11:41:59 pm »

this is the paper i was thinking of: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25965000 "Effect of different knee starting angles on intersegmental coordination and performance in vertical jumps"

also if anyone has journal access, this one looks really interesting: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26712510 "Understanding Vertical Jump Potentiation: A Deterministic Model"

Nice! Makes me think I'll put another 2 inches on my SVJ's with a little knee bend. I may play basketball today (for the first time in many months) and I'll record some SVJ's.

Check out my bend here:

It looks like I barely bend at all, lol.

good job. the heaviest 4+reps volumes i did was at 385lbx6-8reps, 20-40reps/workout. i cannot recover fast enough after this weight.
spend time with that 385lb. the 405+ for volumes burn you out so fast.

use mid-high 300s for volumes and you will eventually be thick enough to go 425-440-455 without really pushing for heavy singles.

remember, the point of being able to lift the heavy 425+ singles is to make your volume sets with 300s a lot easier/more effective. the 300s build you thick legs.. which make you jump better

your svj sucks
