^ for some reason that i am not sure off, (lately) most of the time that i take a 2 day rest - my lifts suck. i will not be DOMd but even with complete recovery, the lifts are hard because it feels like my body forgets to use the most efficient form to lift a heavy weight. 

i am not short on stimulants. i drink at least 2-3 cups of black coffee on training days + NO explode 2.0 (that i got free from my syntha6 orders).

i will vid a paused 440-445 this tuesday morning. SVJ tests are on hold until i move more plates.

You, sir, are a beastly squatting machine.
 

^ sometimes.. think im using "jump training" to develop my squats and not the other way around.. and it works. 

^ mega dose of creatine and whey + salmon bellies..

[135x8][185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,395,415x1][440x0]

* the workout yesterday to prime for today couldn't be any better. this is the best as i can prepare for a near max paused rep attempt. i had a pinched nerve issue at reps 395 and 415 on my right quad. it was more of a distraction and did not really affected my strength. probably threw me off because i wanted to make sure i didn't screw anything up. its started on the concentric of 395 when there were 2 blasts of shocks the came from my right quad. i assumed that because my legs were really bloated with all creatine and fluids and my quads were so 'locked' really good.. legs were hard as wood. some nerve just got crushed. had to really shake the quads. same thing happened on the 415 rep. it will not stop me from attempting my 440x1 because everything (aside from that nerve shit) seems to be doing well. concentrics on the 395 and 415 were strong. there was no pinched nerve at 440 attempt.
* it could have been my overconfidence on the 440 lift.. but IMO, i should have concentrated more on keeping my torso solid. more gulps of air to fill everything inch of space in my lower and upper belly to stabilize core.. damn.. i was strong. legs were strong but i failed the lift. felt more like a technical error. i really should have thought about 'pushing' midback backwards so i don't get caved in. my focus during the concentric was on my legs blasting it up. you can see from the vid that after i almost stalled to a crawl, the barbell rotated forward.
* even though i did not get what i really aimed for, a top paused set of 435x1 is not bad either. i will use a daily repeatable 415-420 depending on how i feel, and will go back to supra max halfs. those 515x2 top sets IMO got me lifting 455x1 in the first place. it trained my midback to handle the weight at that sticking point. it also blasted my SVJ but thats a different thing.
* i am keeping regular rep full squats to sub-max because IMO, im lifting a lot higher percentages of my BW lately.. i don't want to screw anything up by lifting something that i cannot control very well. the 440 that pinned me today did not feel heavy at all.

^ yes.. that mini bounce starts the explosive concentric..i really need to push against something in order to start the concentric. everything is so dynamic.. the ankle, the knees and the hips gives a bit IMO which gets me that mini-drop. it could be also that the weight is just too heavy to be used for a very strict paused rep. i am doing my best to minimize the bouncing(hence the use of paused reps instead of regular reps)  but i cannot totaly eliminate it.

^ thanks. i can vid that but it really looks like a very slow unathletic jump.

Jumps
- SVJ 2 hand dunks

* came back to the gym to play some pick up game for a sweat then do some low volume SVJs dunks. legs are definitely explosive. should have taken vid showing both wrists cleared the rim by at least 2-3inches with the ball for my SVJ 2 hand dunks today. a vertec test would have been nice too.. but nothing i can do about it now.
* will do paused rep singles tmrw up to 415-420 tmrw morning.

^32-34" max if the rim im using is still 10ft.
