* the neutral bar for chins i use at the company gym during workdays do not have the open space in between the parallel bars where you can put your head in between. it makes the chins a bit harder because you have to pull yourself up and out then into the bars to get to full rom. makes the reps a little harder. easier to get the last few reps to 20 when all you have to do is pull up and not worry about hitting your head against the bar.

* felt very strong after some good mashed potato spiked with wasabi on my last dinner. tried to do a 12+ 315s in waves of 4s. the 13th rep went downhill fast. dont want to overexert on a work night. 12 felt comfortable. can still do another x12 tmrw.

* quads still a bit bloated from the 315x16 i did 2 days ago.  feeling stronger too because of the thicker hams. the bottom got a little higher.  been sleeping a lot more than usual too.

no injury. just got tired of being very lean at low 180lb bw.

i can still SVJ 2-hand rim grabs for 36-37" jumps but low 190s is as lean as i want to be right now.

must be nice to be 5'10 210lb sub10% but i don't have the genes for it.

I see your daily squats are @ 405-440. Can you still break out a 475 pause squat now that you are bigger?

I'll try to summarize the story:
KF got to over 40'' SVJ at his peak, you gotta adore his modesty. This 39'' is the highest he has on vertec so this is the one he claims, because it is more legit. But he also has some double hand dunks off SVJ where the rim was around 2-3'' below wrist, with a double hand reach. My estimate was 42-ish. He was  low 180BW and 440 squat at the time. Then he wanted to chase a big squat. He got big ( >210 ), also got very strong ( got 475 a few times, 455 was an easy repeatable weight, he was lifting 455 every single day for a long time ). He didn't jump a lot at the time as he felt he was too heavy to absorb the 40'' landings safely. Now he is somewhere in the middle of the above two states, he leaned down to ~190 , lost some strength too of course. Still able to 440 whenever he wants, he just doesn't do often to save the fatigue of the next days.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

* got good sleep. feeling the slight lack of energy due to carb cutbacks. wet BW 190-192lb. strong on the calf raises and the seated lat pulldown rows. i use the wide neutral grip attachment for the rows. i can really feel the squeezing of the midback at the full ROM. doms was spot on.

* improved my breathing on the 315 volumes. could have gotten 16 with 4 clusters of 4 but rep 15 felt too challenging. could have forced another rep but dont want to tire too much. thing i changed with my breathing - 315 is light enough. i dont need to hold my breath on the decent. worked better this time. i was doing full on high intensity cardio at reps 12+. i want to get consistent 16s with clusters of 4 before i plan going for 20.

* got little tired yesterday because of messed up sleep cycle. had to stay awake in the afternoon (10-3pm is nap time) for a company event.
* did horizontal pulling today using a cable machine. if my lowerback does not tire from this, might do more of this while resting my vertical pulling. my abs take a beating when i do high volumes. my lowerbody weight feels "out of place" when my abs are toast.

my horizontal pulling (rows) in this

* higher carbs for the last 2 meals leading to the afternoon workout. got at least another 15lb over the 440. wet BW194lb. i might be able to get a strict pause 455lb at this low 190s BW if i really train and eat for this. 
* burned out on the chins doing so many x10s of the wide grip. rep 10 of the shoulder wide neutral chins felt like rep 16+ already.

calf raise seated 225lb x18 x14

* 440x1 was routine. im fully rested with very good diet. i still do not have that explosiveness on the 405 that will make me think about putting on the 455. 440@ 194BW = 2.27x. if i can move that 1-2x/week top single to 455 by thickening up to 194-198lb, i prefer to single 4plate+25lb than this 3piece little things. i most likely will not be able to get my BW to 196+ and still be this lean. 200kg still is a good thing.
* upper body pull with shoulder wide neutral grip chins feels a lot more natural than wide grip vertical or horizontal pulls.  will stay with this and add a second set. i could maintain with 40 total reps a day everyday.
* seated calf raises to 5 plates now and aim for a straight 20 rep.

Are you adding in the high rep sets for variety or is it a strategic move or some combination?

high rep no-pause 315s (>12reps)

- gets my hamstrings thicker (with good diet) and sets me up for easier 440+ singles
- cleans out my form if i develop some bad habits
- conditioning / cardio benefits

* 2 set of sleep made so much difference. I did 440x1 coming from a 315x18 yesterday.. and I don't even feel beat (yet). 
* I really feel my midback+posterior deltoids really dom'd when i rowed towards my front delts. feels like dips but horizontal. pulling towards the lower chest allows you to handle more weights but sacrifices ROM because of the disadvantageous position when your elbow and shoulder are not in line. (in a horizontal plane). i like this kind of upper body pull because its comfortable. i can do more volumes.

* felt like a 440 kind of day but decided to not overdo the heavy single. i did 2x440s already this week. the 315x20 was more cardio than strength. i was looking up after rep 16 and gulping down air.
