Will probably join a basketball league in a few weeks! Fuck yeah I'll finally start playing ball weekly. Going to be extremely fun and not only that, I'll get to see how high I can jump now that my strength ratio is the highest it's ever been! Oh and increased movement efficiency (of which I'm probably at my baseline/zero) will help too. Def hitting 40" this summer assuming no injuries.

Schedule will be:

Mon - lower body
Tue - upper body
Wed - bball
Thu - lower body
Fri - upper body
Sat - off
Sun - off

That means I play bball on wed and then squat/RDL on thu. That may be a problem, not sure yet. If anything i'll just swap my upper days with my lower days.

I think yesterday's workout took a lot out of me. I cut out some sets on today's workout. Not exactly a de-load but still. I felt like ending the workout early... but instead of doing that and missing exercises completely, I decide to just lower the number of sets and go through every exercise. I think that's important!

Studied some of the book but not much. What I never skimp out on, though, is reviewing quiz questions and notes.

Edit: my projected max is 455. At 200lbs morning weight even 450 puts me at 2.25x bw. I planned to hit that goal june 1st. Guess im there already. Planning to start cutting weight may 1st (5ish pounds) hopefully i keep all my strength too. Cant wait to fly. This summer will be the summer i hit 40" inshallah!

Created deck (306 cards)

I plan to read two chapters since I'm not lifting today. Completed turning a couple of brain dumps into flash cards on my phone. I plan to take the exam on May 7th. Should be done with readings in a week, then I have a week of re-reading notes, studying what I know the least, watching vids on what I know the least, and memorizing the brain dumps.

edit: didn't finish the chapter but i will tomorrow morning

Finished yesterday's chapter. Plan to read a second chapter today. Will lift later. Have to squat 395x5. I'll probably only hit 3 or 4 but ya never know. I seem to squat and bench heavier at my friend's gym, but i'm going to my gym today.

Edit: read another chapter. had a shitty workout 395x2 squats... recorded it. oh well. brain fatigue, slightly sick, bad sleep lately... bad combo for lifting.

A 5lb weight cut shouldn't really poop on your strength. Back in the olden days when I was around your weight, I wouldn't notice a drop in strength until i lost around 10-15lbs.

Yeah true. I think I was saying that more because sometimes I feel like I'm stalling hard on my lifts for a while (last week was an exception) so I felt like if I cut down, I would drop strength. It would be cool to keep my theoretical squat max of 455 at a bodyweight of 195. I'd be okay with dropping down even to a 440 max though.

John Stamos · « **Reply #837 on:** April 22, 2016, 03:05:35 pm »

I mean at your weight, you could temporarily if its a caloric deficit but once you got used to the weight it'd go right back up. You're not going to have to change your form and you're not losing any kind of advantages such as a an old school powerlifter with a big belly loses a lot of weight and doesn't have that advantage anymore.
