^ repeatable sub-max jumps are higher and easier. i dont go for max jumps without some sort of squat delaod.  its either the low intensity 18/24" DJ, or the added leg mass, or both..  i can grab rim with both hands consistently and with less effort.

if i need to really put effort in grabbing rim with 2 hands and miss it for a couple of attempts - thats the sign i look for that im not explosive. so far i can always grab rim even on first rep.. so im happy with my jumps. id say repeatable 34-36" while doing 405s.

^ yes. IMO, i jump a lot better 1-2days from a squat workout as long as its not one of those 40+ with 6-8reps. moderate to high intensity DJs with a good workout plan should really work well for me while in a strength maintenance(1-2reps).

Squats
[135,185,225 x6][275,325 x4][365x2][385,405 x1]
- 405 1x1

* empty BW 194.5lbs. maintaining 194.5lb consistently now. the lifts are easy today. i had saturday off and that extra day of rest made a difference. i could have gone for my work sets of 4reps but getting to the gym at 8am without a strong pre-workout breakfast/dinner is not a good idea.
* next workout is on tuesday. skipped jumps today. want to get 425x2-4 soon and just focus on jumps after that.

why not rotate based on fatigue, instead of a 7 day period? A few of these sessions lately, you rest one extra day and come back very strong.. should just rotate through without woring about wed/sun etc.

Squats
[185,225 x6][275x4][325x2][365,385,405 x1]
- 405 4x2
- 365 6x8 (non-paused)

* cut down a bit on the warm up reps. legs firing good from sundays sets. saved the reps for the work sets.
* 405 2nd set rep 4 was a goodmorning squat. legs feel strong. rep 1-2 a 7/10 lift. rep 3 an 8.5/10. rep 4 a 9/10. no chance of rep 5. lowerback will collapse forward. legs where pushing good on rep 4 but the torso is not rigid anymore. decided to stop with 405s. save the lowerback unneeded beating. will use workout for something else that IMO will be more productive - will go for volume/tonnage. a 405 set3 3-4 reps would have been possible but it would be ugly and really draining.
* decided not to go with back up paused reps because those are lowerback intensive also.
* 365 rep 1-4 a 7/10. rep 5 a 7.5/10. rep 6 an 8.5/10. rep 7-8 possible but most likely compromise upright torso. 365 was easy. could have gone for 8 reps but might not get as much tonnage if i did it. need to build up tolerance for high volume gradually too.
* ate 3-4 cups (per serving) of whey 3 times within the 365 sets.  i probably killed 1/3 of the tub in that workout. have work tomorrow. cannot be immobile. took my time between sets. some are 22-24mins and climbed to 28-32mins because i was not feeling it yet. after 8sets without a hint of leg cramps, i could have made 10-12 sets. didn't have enough time to do all that. 

4cups whey + as little water so i dont get full =




3-4 cups of that feeds these:




heres me camping at the gym for half a day completing my squat marathon.. main gym closed for holiday. went to back up gym.





 

MIGHT WANNA STEP UR VMO GAME UP KINGFISH.

SINCERELY,

VMO JESUS.






ya man i love drinking protein shake in between squat sets, i only down bits of one shake not like what you did, but it REALLY helps compared to when I don't do it.. i calm down quicker, recovery faster, and feel less jittery.

I'd puke it out. For example, I once drank a glass of protein powder like 1 and a half hours before my workout. Guess what? When I squatted 120x5, I just felt it coming up my throat (literally). It just stopped right before going out (I was wearing a belt by the way).

I don't think so... it's not a matter of digestion, it's a matter of liquid being in a pressed stomach that goes up my throat...
