Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : glutes, hamstrings, calves, traps, biceps, triceps, ENOUGH WITH THAT NOOB DOMS, FFFFUUUUUU
Injuries/aches :  none

1,5 hours full court basketball.
Endurance & vert : a little bit improved
Had better breaths. Still nowhere near fit though. Also felt a bit more light on my feet, like more ready for a jump. Only did one rim jump again, cold, again just a 10'2'' ( 27'' ) dropstep.
Patience...

-Very nice. First volume session after 5/3/1, i was peaking at 3x8@70kg before.

10@BW
8@BW
7@BW
Total = 25 reps, ties BW 3-sets-total  :personal-record:

Bodyweight@session : ~90kg
Soreness : hamstrings, VMOs and glutes, volume squatting got me back to doms city when i thought it was over.
Injuries/aches :  none

3-sets-progress template
Workout #4 ( Week #2 )

HANG POWER CLEAN:
5@20kg
3@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
1@60kg
-Same with last time. Improved form/smoothness/speed but failed 2nd 60kg catch again.

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT:
7@20kg
5@40kg
3@60kg
1@90kg
3@97,5kg ( +2,5kg )
-Nice. Heaviest set for reps since injury. Better form than last week's 3x95 too.
Afrer re-reading that kellyb article about warming up, i did that unrack-and-hold-supramax-before-the-top-set thing. Feels like it works.
I did mess the warmup earlier though jumping from 60 to 90. Thought 80 to 97,5 was too much, but then 60 to 90 is too, should have done 85.

BENCH PRESS:
7@60kg ( +2 reps )
6@60kg ( +1 rep )
6@60kg ( +1 rep )
Total = 19 reps ( +4 reps )
-Good improvement but still too weak.

WIDE GRIP LAT PULLDOWN:
8@160lbs ( +10 lbs )
8@160lbs ( +10 lbs )
8@160lbs ( +10 lbs )
Total = 24 reps.
-Great. Back responds so much better than chest. Always was like that though, deal with it.

PAUSED STANDING CALVE RAISES MACHINE:
20@55kg
17@55kg ( +2 reps )
16@55kg ( +1 rep )
-I am starting to believe it is the TUT that burns me out and not the load. First 15 are easy, then ( about 1 minute in ) it becomes too hard.
Will up the weight although i didn't reach the planned 3x20 and see what happens.

ABS COASTER MACHINE:
20@BW+5kg ( +5 kg )
20@BW+5kg ( +5 kg )
20@BW+5kg ( +5 kg )
-Nice.

HANG POWER CLEAN:
5@20kg
3@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
1@60kg

HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT:
5@20kg
5@40kg
3@60kg
1@80kg
3@100kg ( +2,5kg )
-Lost depth, they were parallel, not full. On the bright side, they were not squatmornings but upright.
Also, i somehow forgot to do a 90kg single, jumped from 80kg to the 100kg work set. Duh!
I will stay at the same load next time to reach full depth.

17@60kg ( +5 kg )
16@60kg ( +5 kg )

Got the same reps and everything felt the same, easy till rep 14-15, burning hell afterwards.

ABS COASTER MACHINE:
20@BW+7,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
20@BW+7,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
20@BW+7,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
