Week 3 of 12 Day 1
Daily Squats Maintenance - clustered paused reps - warmup and backup
[225 +2+2+2+2][275 +2+2][325 +1+1+1+1][375 +1+1][390,400 +1]
- 380x1

* overslept and missed the 6-7ish morning workout. body probably needed the extended rest from yesterdays multiple heavy singles - 390x10, 380x5. must have been too much to soon.
* coordination got better after multiple clustered wamrup doubles/singles, but upperback did not feel solid on the 375s. 2nd single of 375 felt more explosive but the upperback felt the same way. 390/400 got up without any problems for the legs but my upperback is just shot now. thought about 380x5 singles as backup light set but the first rep is already ugly. stopped there.

[225 +2+2+2][275 +2][325,375,400 +1+1]
- 380x2 [1x2]

* back still a bit beat. forgot to mention that i used a different shoe the other workout and that might have caused my back to get uncomfortable. the higher heels of the newer adidas didn't work well for me.
* i need to back off the intensity now and give my back some time to catch up. its stiff right now post-workout. not a good sign. i did my lift after my 7pm-8am work. IMO, its better this way because id get plenty of sleep afterwards. having been awake and moving also helped in my warmups. everything felt good except for the back which gave up too soon. could have had 425-430 the way the 325/375 felt very light.

* recovering from lowerback soreness. felt alright but do not want to go 400 with something not feeling very solid in there. all paused reps felt good after getting warmed up.

* back still not 100% took it easy again. improving on the stiffness somewhere in the right lowerback but not enough confidence to use heavier weights.
* did more warmup doubles to really get good form going for the heavier weights. it worked without tiring me.

- 380x2 [+1+1]
- 325x8 [+2+2+2+2]

* still some stiffness in the lowerback but fukit, been 2 days already and 375s are not cutting it anymore. 2 singles of 400 - the lifts felt good. drained me a bit and was only able to get 2 on 380. was planning at least 5 but as the concentric slowed down, my back really needed to stay solid to hold that weight longer. didn't bother beating myself up some more.
* 325s were no problem.
* after my back recovers 100%, i might bump it up at week 4-5 to 410 top singles with 380-390 backups. i don't like that 45-50lb gap with my repeatable daily max and my peaked 1RM (445-450).

* 2 days of unplanned deload due to sore lowerback did pretty good for recovery too. the 405 felt light considering this is the first workout of the day. i'm stronger on the 2nd workout ~ 8-10hrs after the 1st.

* time to back off a bit now for the next 1-2 workouts. 405 top heavy singles - form was solid and legs are now tired. did high volume/light weight back off 315s for more blood flow. post workout meal/sleep will be strong.

- 365 +1+1
- 315x20 [+2+4+2+4+2+4+2]

* even with almost 36hrs from the last workout, the coordination got back quickly after sets 2-3 of 225s. stopped at 225 3rd set as the form is already going. usually go up to 4 sets with 225 if form is still not smooth. no problems with any of the weights. got the first single of 405 easily, i really thought about 425 but found a way to stop myself.
* this cycle is focused on the back up multi clusters for higher tonnage/volume while minimize rests - for more leg mass. had to stop at 405 even when i have 20-30lbs over it.
* i'm only on week 4 and this back up sets are tiring. i'm sweating and i'm getting really sore/DOMd. id prefer the multi heavy singles from 400-440 anyday over this crap.
* played around with the reps on 315s. felt good with a waveload type reps. +2+4, then cycle back. end with +2 to complete 20 total reps.

* the 405s felt lighter today even with legs that felt really beat. i didn't know what happened but this morning, i thought i won't even make it pass 385s because i was just too sore. slept again and woke up feeling better.
* if i recover as good, and hopefully not going to x4 helped me lessen the soreness - il go for a top set of 425 tmrw afternoon.

365x20 [+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+2,+1+1] 60-90-120sec rest as needed

* will back off the intensity on the backup sets tmrw, something like ~ 315-335 and cycle back up again to 365s. 385 is still annoyingly heavy, 365 is the good kind of heavy right now.
* could have gotten a top single of 425 today but IMO, backup with -50 at 375 is a bit too much too soon coming from 335s last workout.
* 100g casein protein post workout. brought the wrong kind. this will do for now. can't go wrong with high BCAA profiles anyway.

* did the workout early because i will be watching a company concert most of the afternoon. don't feel like lifting after standing for a few hours.
* next workout might be sun afternoon ~ 34-36hrs from this. might be able to go 415-365 again.

* lifted early in the morning. can't do afternoon, need to watch nba finals. not as strong as i thought. 2nd set of 405 was not as strong as the first.
* BW dropped to 166-168lbs. lost more water than i thought standing under the sun for half a day yesterday - i was trying to stay hydrated but apparently not enough. will get better diet today.

* originally planned to lift this morning but i was so burned out that i had to hold it for later and get more recovery. quads/glutes felt really stiff. i could have lifted and still made my schedule but that would really tire me out.
* tmrw is the last day id do these back up 20 clustered reps. 4 weeks on and il give myself 1 week to recover more. il lift light at 315x20 in the late afternoon tmrw after the finals probably.

stiffness = persistent effects of dehydration?

not dehydrated. i have a big 32oz mug for my water (~ 4regular cups), and i drink 4-6 of those a day. not including the protein shakes. my legs are just stiff because of the high rep cycle overuse. that is way i also do not use anything below 200lbs on my warmup sets - not heavy enough to push me down comfortably to full bottom ROM.

345x20 [+2+3,+2+3,+2+3,+2+3] 90sec rest

* same lifts as yesterday. coordination is much better but the leg fatigue is greater. i will take a week as back off, probably max at 385/85%RM.
* these 70-75% 20 rep back up clusters really challenged my muscle recovery but was not heavy enough to compromise my tendons/ligaments. i do not feel any discomfort in my upper knees or anywhere non-muscle. just one big soreness in the muscle belly of the quads and glutes. hamstrings are also probably tight but not as bad as the rest.
