Week 6 of 12 Day 5
Daily Squats Maintenance - clustered paused reps - warmup and backup - deload
[225+2+2+2][275+2+2][315+2][365,385,405 +1] 30-60sec rest per +

* took me longer to do my solues sets. did less breathers between squat sets because i was really feeling stronger for the last 2-3 workouts. will probably get 425+ this evening if i push for it but i'l keep top set to 405 until monday and save the near max on tuesday. that would be my day 7 of week 6.

* 405 @ 165BW is now a 2.45BW for me at this twig weight. 2.45BW never felt this easy in a while. if i feel very strong already on the morning workout tmrw, i might as well go for the very heavy singles in that afternoon.

* got another 10lbs max over the 425x1 judging from how my lowerback is maintaining form on the concentric. legs can push another 15-20lbs, but by that time, il collapse from the top/mid back.
* wet BW at 168. dry 165. 425x1 is 2.57BW paused rep. i probably got 435-440 in me at 165BW. this is probably the leanest il go, before it negatively affects my strength.

* surprisingly strong for a morning workout following a previous 425x1 max. i am back to repeatable 425x1 top sets. i'l get 425 again this afternoon if i feel like it.
* tried doing a couple of light sets of leg press as back up volume work. last time i did the leg press was when i was letting my back strain recover. did not like the feel of the leg press at all. ROM is too short. i just went as low as i can as long as i keep my lowerback in contact with the support. turns out i'm doing the ROM of a 1/2 squat/parallel squat. this is quad imbalance in the long run. i'm better off doing volume sets of full squats but with considerably lighter weight - bodybuilding style cadence and loading. ~ piston reps of 50-75%RM for more leg mass work.

* added another 10lbs to my solues work. been getting the reps/sets consistently. not stalling in these anytime soon. squats were ok. not much effort getting thru the routine paused reps.

* took 30 mins to do the squats, from setting up the rack to clean up. not bad for a blitz workout at lunch. did not use the pins but it didn't matter lately for the 405s. felt like i overpower it by at least 15-25lbs.

* 2 days of 405x1 top set and its time to get my 425x1. not much trouble getting the paused single. ~ 435 max. most likely will only lift 1x/day until sunday because of work schedule.

two random questions

How much wieght have you gained on your squat during your daily max squating cycle so far?

I think i saw the wei rui contender shoes on one of your videos, im thinkin on buy them, would you recomend them?

Kingfish · « **Reply #756 on:** July 06, 2012, 09:05:46 pm »

^
- i did not gain any weight on the squats during these squat maintenance cycles. i dropped BW by 5lbs so the ratio improved a bit.
- only oly shoes i have are the ironworks, adistars and the romaleos. i use the IW2 most of the time

- question on other log about how i squat so narrow - i never mentioned anything about placing the weight on my heels. i distribute it evenly with a bit of a bias on the upper 2/3s of my foot.
- i quad my way out of the hole. only way to do that is to push with the balls of feet while making sure heels stay planted for balance.

* rest day 1. another 405x1 top set tmrw and by sunday, heavy again at 425x1. solues work getting easier now but more time consuming at the same time. don't want to use too heavy weights too soon to bring the rep range down. still lifting in the 8-10+ reps as GPP.

Have you ever squatted "heel dominated" so to speak? If so, how different did it feel?

Dreyth · « **Reply #758 on:** July 07, 2012, 06:47:42 am »

reason for concentrating on soleus over gastroc?

Kingfish · « **Reply #759 on:** July 07, 2012, 09:52:27 pm »

- i don't have high cut achilles, i have long solues. il make them more boss.
- i want to save my quads (even as stabilizers only) from doing heavy straight knee calf work.
- because its a bigger muscle and it just looks very strong if you have wide and massive lower (v shape) to midcalf. not that it makes the top portion (gastrocs) small because a bigger solues also "pushes" the gastrocs outwards making them look bigger too.

- if i'm doing heel dominated work, i'm doing goodmornings and RDLS, not squats. make use of your leverage properly.

* another quick sub 30min squat routine and solues work. these calf work might be helping me with flexibility too. can't figure out why my coordination is pretty good for a 1x / day workout. my form is usually this good only if i take no more than 12hr between lifts.

* last day of 3 week delaoding today - weeks 5-7. thinking about higher volumes with lesser weight on weeks 8-12, 70-75%RM ~ 315-335lbs. goal is to make it to 1 year daily squats ending at end of next month august. thats 5 weeks of some form of squat progression and another 3 weeks of delaoding.

* was really planning on doing a 295x20 (65%RM) back up set but did not have the drive today to push for it. it was 85F outside - rarely this hot in here. will not be able to get a post workout sleep also so thats another thing. il squeeze a 20 rep squat 2-3 times a week for weeks 8-12.
* the calf work this morning is adding good fatigue. i missed my sets this afternoon on my solues work. still got my 40 total reps but took me 5 sets this time.

* will add a bit more carbs post workout today just to make sure i have some extra energy for later and try for a volume back up set.
* gastrocs with the straight knee seated sled maxd already at 4 plates on each side but was consistently getting my 10reps all with pauses/holds at top and bottom. might need to go for 60-80 total reps soon. it does kill my solues work in the afternoon.

* i need to get rid of this 2x/day squats if i want to add a back-off volume set. i need some fresher legs for mass building.
