Great job. 50 kg is my snatch PR... but I'm afraid to use more because my shoulders aren't to be based upon to really hold the weight there and stabilize the bar so...

Went at the park. Bball stuff again. Quad status = no go , tried a couple of jumps , 28-ish SVJ and 30-ish dropstep but feeling the quad hurt when exploding up so didn't even try more.
FML.

13 June 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~192
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : left quad.

~~HANG POWER CLEANS:~~
-In my continued quest to recover my injured quad i decided to phase out o-lifts for a while , maybe the violent hip extensions aggravate the injury.

SQUATS :
8@44 lbs ( +3 reps )
5@88 lbs ( same )
5@132 lbs ( +2 reps )
5@176 lbs ( +2 reps )
3@198 lbs ( stopped at previous set last time )
-Sweet , increased tonnage AND an extra heavier set. 198 felt the same challenging with Saturday's 176.

DEADLIFTS:
8@132
5@176
5@220
3@264
1@308 , ties

-308 went up rather easy but had a lot of back in it (legs were probably tired) so stopped.

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
3x15@209lbs ( same )

Went at the park.
Only the 9'8'' rim available , FML , it's too low.
Quad felt much recovered. Dunking was easy , got some hard dropstep and DLRVJ dunks.
Tried some rim jumps , SVJ 28'' to 29'' and dropstep 31'' to 32''. Dropsteps felt submax so i tried a ME one , didn't work , i felt a slight bugging so i stopped.

^ its the landings from the jumps thats injuring you. i've gotten myself into the tenderness stage (starting) of an over-use type injury. best thing to do is back off the jumping. even with my non max SVJs, those impacts add up.

best thing id do in your case aside from not making it worst by jumping more, is do do those high rep / light-moderate weight leg curls/leg extensions. got it from lance and those extra blood flow really heals you. sleep and eat good. goodluck!

^Thanks for the insight. It never occurred to me that it might be the landing and not the take off part of the jump.
Here is the jump session that i got injured , i might have caught it on cam. The dunk at 1:08 is the highest jump of the session , look at the left quad collapsing and failing to absorb the landing:

As my gym membership expires in 2,5 weeks , i made my training plans:

-Until membership expiry i will keep going as i am now , focus is absolute quad recovery.
-Gonna cut down a bit on kcals , it seems i have stabilised at 193-94 lbs , bodyfat is around 17%. I will cut to around 187 (85kg).
-After gym ends and until holidays start ( 10 till 30 July ) i will probably keep up with strength using pistol squats etc and try to jump a lot ( hoping ill be healthy for that ).
-After holidays i will do SS until i reach 2*BW , which is until i die because i will never get there but oh-well, will be fun!

cheers.
