Felt that at 30, quite a few times.

Well, i am not sure if stiff that i used was the right word. I mean that mixed tight/sore feeling. Similar to after stressing legs a lot, like the day after an all out competitive bball game.
Also, I was referring to my top set only, that was also not clear. Up to 120kg i had no problems. It may be just half squats but 5x140kg is around 150-160% 1RM and the heaviest i have put on my back in 4-5 years.
But still, that comment was another self-reminder that i should start stretching and foam rolling again. I was feeling the same 'stiffness' a couple of months back, i got into daily SMR to fix it, it worked, then i stopped and it is back. And yet i still don't SMR. FML.

Bodyweight@session : ~84,5kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : left lower back pull?

[HANG POWER CLEAN QUEST]+ [LANCE REST-PAUSE UPPER] ROUTINE

Workout #50, ( Week #20)

HANG POWER CLEAN
5@20kg
3@30kg
2@40kg
1@50kg
1@60kg
0@65kg
1@65kg , ties

-Back didn't bug. Had the 'bad' bar ( bended from weights, not good for cleans ). Still tied PR, great.

RDL:
8@90kg
7@95kg ( -1 reps )
6@100kg ( -1 reps )
-Back didn't bug but was feeling cautious/afraid.

BENCH PRESS:
10@20kg
10@30kg
10@40kg
8@50kg
3@60kg
13@40kg
-Have been reviewing my form and many BP form articles lately and decided to reset myself.
Significant load decrease, but also significant form improvement feeling. Was really bench pressing now.

DEAD HANG PULLUPS:
6@BW ( -2 reps )
5@BW ( -1 rep )
~~5@BW~~
Lat-Pulldown:
10@150lbs
10@150lbs
-Back really bugged at those, had to cancel third pullup set and replace with lat pulldowns.

STANDING PAUSED CALF RAISE MACHINE:
10@BW+40kg
8@BW+50kg
8@BW+60kg
8@BW+70kg
5@BW+8kg
-Chanced tempo from 1:0:1 to 1:1:5. Dunno why, got tired of 3x30.
Back bugged here too on the last heavier sets. Compromised performance.

So i managed to pull/strain my left lower back this morning by... sneezing!!! Being an old fragile fart sucks bigtime!!!

Trained through it keeping it safe. Went fine considering.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

RUNS & JUMPS SESSION :

1 MILE RUN :
Time : 8m:50s
Average speed : ~10.9 kmh
Pace : ~5m:31s / km
-Was extremely hot. Hottest day of the summer so far. Also haven't run a fast mile for over a month.
However got my 3d fastest time ever, only 20s shy of PR. Very nice!!!

TODDDAY METHOD JUMPS:
SVJ : max 26''
Dropstep : max 30''
1-step DLRVJ : max 30''
2-steps DLRVJ : max 30''
3-steps DLRVJ : max 30,5'' , ties season best, 3-steps RVJ season

-I was not supposed to move out to even 2 steps, but although the max height was not improving, the feeling was.
And i was right, 3-steps felt the most powerful and got the highest jump too.
Awesome considering i haven't jumped for 2 weeks.

-This time i got my top set depth right. So i can claim it , 1RM/BW = 1.87 , lifetime

To be honest, power-wise i liked the 120 set even more. They were shockingly fast for 120. But 140 has the hype of 3 plates.

I don't think I could be able to half squat 140x5 with my 150 1RM.

By the way - where do you feel the "load" when you're doing the half squats? Like, do you feel the "knees" are loaded or the "hips" are loaded more? (yes, I know, very difficult to determine, but I definitely feel the knees loaded a heck-of-a-lot more than the hips)

LBSS · « **Reply #2754 on:** July 23, 2015, 09:55:09 am »

i'm with raptor, my knees are strained very heavily (uncomfortably so) during half squats. much, much more so than during full squats.

Raptor · « **Reply #2755 on:** July 23, 2015, 10:49:39 am »

In fact, I would say a "full" squat (below parallel or whatever) is more "comfortable" or "accessible" than a half squat.

Not sure how good that sounds for someone who wants to jump high. Every good jumper I know would disagree with this statement strongly (except for people like Kingfish or guys who jump very high from a standstill).

vag · « **Reply #2756 on:** July 23, 2015, 11:02:11 am »

I feel much better with halves than full squats. But i am not a good jumper, lol. Full squat has never felt comfortable for me. Too long legs, too short torso, i feel i have to descent forever, and when i reach down i feel that everything is at a wrong/abnormal angle&place. But I still do my best, gotta keep those VMOs involved.
Also, FWIW, i feel no stress at all at the knee area with halves, all the muscular stress is at the outter quads ( and no VMO ) , all the joint stress is at the hip joint.
But then again, i feel no stress at all at the knees whatever i do. They are bionic. I can still go do ME jump sessions on concrete and never feel a thing. Cross your fingers though, just in case
