4/23
30 mins throws
30 mins of various jumps. All well below PR level, CNS clearly torched. R-SLRVJ 2-step technique bad and height not great but felt uncharacteristically strong.

4/26
Weird low lumbar pain essentially from nowhere.
warmup
SL-SVJ: 2x3 each leg
SVJ x8 if rim is 10' these would be around 31-32".
Superset:
- Jump squat 45 x5, 75 3x5
- Inverted rows 3x 10,10,8 [good speed on these]
SS x2:
-donkey hops 2x15
-ankle bounces 2x8
Banded wide stance box squat: 185 3x8 [tough. slightly above parallel, trying to keep shins vertical, gotta rewatch those louie simmons vids]
Narrow stance
low bar squat: 225x8, 245x8, 255x6 [trying to keep knees from going over toes which is stupid hard with my proportions and narrow stance. Somehow forgot to low bar but it seems high bar is actually harder on the back with this squat style. 255 reps 5,6 couldn't maintain arched back. Good depth tho]
BP: 185x4, 175x5, 180x5 [didn't wanna look a fool and put 2.5's on for 180, didn't warmup enough for 185, should have at least done some volume drop-sets
]
SS x3:
-Freemotion calves: 400 3x15 [iso hold at full extension, I actually feel a hard calf burn after every set, brutal but not sure where to go from here now that I've maxed the machine. Leg Press maybe? I did a lot of SL and BB DL work but it just doesn't feel as effective as this freemotion machine]
-Machine rows: 160 3x8
Leg press forgot
Notes: Yeah I dunno. Not feeling as satisfied as I would have if I threw 330 on and squatted 3's with my normal form. AELS i guess. Hit the weaknesses hard and don't give a fuck about the weight
