Really sore legs from yesterday's basketball. So I took it easy on legs today. Added abs today instead of doing them tomorrow. This way I can really focus on back and shoulders tomorrow.

I'll prob throw in another light squat and deadlift day on saturday too.

My bodyweight is consistently under 190lbs. That's awesome.

Shot up to 191lbs somehow. Probably water weight.

Moving calf raises to my pull days. My push days are pretty long.

Working back up to the 365x3 that I was at before I stalled and then got sick twice

Taking it slow though. Hope to be there in June. at 190lbs bw, it's enough to give mea 40" running vert with tons of jump practice and maybe some potentiation. I'm shooting for 385x3 at 190lbs though.

Gym was full so I did my workout out of order. I feel like it made the lateral raises harder... usually i do my rows beforehand and I feel like that warms up my shoulders nicely. This also made my rows harder since my forearms were shot from the lateral raises. And for whatever reason, my pull ups dropped.

I played a game of full court basketball beforehand. Easilyyy threw down a two hander after it. I'm playing more often now. Can't wait to see how my vertical will react with some more movement efficiency. CAN NOT WAIT to be squatting 365x3 again and then slowly push to 385x3!!!

on the cable crunches... something thats bothering me.

idn if i should go elbows straight down to floor (i feel that more in my abs) or really "crunch" and go elbows to knees, which i feel like involves my hip flexors more.
I usually go elbows straight down to floor, which is why i added the deficit to increase ROM. but now i realize i may be bending at my hips when i do this and not the waist. my goal is ab hypertrophy.

i think i'll try elbows to knees again next workout and really focus on bending at the waist and not hips. maybe i wasnt doing it right and thats why i was feeling my hips being targeted a lot more.

maybe i should also try them like this:

http://exrx.net/AnimatedEx/RectusAbdominis/CBKneelingCrunch.gif

butt on heels at all times. that should take away the hips and make me use my waist.

John Stamos · « **Reply #366 on:** April 22, 2015, 06:42:52 pm »

I must be the opposite because i can feel them like a mofo when I try to crunch them in. I would just stick to doing them the way that feels the best. Your mobility and posture could dictate the best way to do them, my buddy and I do them different from each other and our postures are completely different.

Also cant go wrong with an ab wheel!

gukl · « **Reply #367 on:** April 22, 2015, 07:33:02 pm »

I like to cue kind of sternum to navel when cable crunching.

Also breath out during concentric

+ do you do the, facing stack or facing away? I find doing them facing away so much better

Dreyth · « **Reply #368 on:** April 23, 2015, 09:28:41 am »

^^ I face the stack. And yeah posture, limb lengths, all that stuff would change how they feel.

Had an intramural game yesterday. Played the whole game. During the last 5 minutes I was pretty damn tired, but an opportunity came. I ran out for the break, caught the outlet pass and fucking dunked it.

MY FIRST IN-GAME DUNK EVER

Been dunking since I was 16. I'm 22 now. Damn that took long! After the game I threw down another two hander pretty easily. I'd say my running vert is about 36" right now. I'm two handing it after just a little bit of warming up. Actually, before the game I was able to take maybe 4 steps and thrown down a two hander, but its cuz the rim was a litttttle soft and gave way a bit.

I squat/dead on mondays and thursdays. but i play intramural basketball on wednesdays. this makes my thursday squats really hard. was supposed to get 10 reps on the back up set today. got 3. i'm going to have to switch my upper and lower days. so i can squat tue, play ball wed, and squat fri. its just that i do rows on my upper body days, and i feel like it'll effect my squats and deads the next day.. we'll see how it plays out next week.

Shot up to 192lbs. Definitely the sodium from the chicken platter i ate. also caloric surplus the past few days putting in more muscle glycogen in me. I looked nice and full at the gym. I'd like to stay under 190lbs until I get back to my 365x3 squat though.

196lbs this mornning. What the heck? 10 days ago I was 186lbs.

I know that I've been eating some salty foods lately so a good portion of it is water weight. I've also definitely been in a caloric surplus so I have increased glycogen weight.

But 10 pounds? Damn. I really want to stay under 190 consistently again. I think i've gained like 2 pounds of fat in 10 days, which is pretty bad. maybe 3 pounds. Time to get my diet under control again.

This workout felt tough. The 345x3 squats were a struggle. I thought that my legs would have been well rested since I didn't work them out (or even play basketball) since Thursday. Also I figured the increased weight gain would make things easier. Guess not. It did help my bench though.

I was 196lbs this morning yet 193 at the gym... even though I ate before going to the gym. I'm thinking my scale at home is off. I did get a low battery message a few days ago...

LBSS · « **Reply #373 on:** April 28, 2015, 12:06:28 pm »

you sure it was legs and not core fatigue that made the squats hard? my core fails before my legs do most of the time. did a couple of triples at 300 last night and they felt stronger than my squat has in a while, mostly because my core felt so stable.

did legs thursday. no bball.
did upper body + core friday. no bball
rested saturday
rested sunday

i think thats enough leg and core rest. regardless, it felt much easier last week and ive basically been doing the same routine. i did get slightly less sleep than i usually do though. also way less protein actually. ok i think i found the problem.
