My athletic training journal (WSFSB+VJB)

I totally agree, too much stuff going on!

Perhaps youll right, ill play it by how i feel, granted the box squat is pretty submaximal, using about 70% of one rep max(445 or 415x3), and the good morning is very very easy at 135lbs, the only thing challenging is the single leg squats which i feel are great for devoloping some good muscles(glutes hamstrings and quads, all huge for 1 leg and 2 leg jumping), but like i said ill play it on how i feel and right now it feels fine…

After the box squats, I don’t see any problem with the good mornings but rather the inclusion of two additional squatting(even single leg) exercises. It might be best to go box squat, good morning and then maybe the single leg squats.

Just monitor things closely, let us know how it’s working out and good luck.

Would single leg squats be the only other squat movement?

I’d recommend picking one of the assistance movements and deleting, for now, the other one. Maybe go box squats/good mornings/and either the SLS OR the db bench squats particularly with the high int. jumps you have in place. I’d probably delete the db bench squats since it’s somewhat similar to the box squats whereas the SLS are likely to have a different training effect-avoiding redunancy in your program can make the program more efficient.

The deletion of one exercise is not likely to make a huge impact on your total volume but could help in giving you just enough stimulation to make gains without the extra volume which might negatively impact recovery.

When making workouts all coaches/athletes should asked themselves, what is the least amount of volume I can get away with and still improve instead of adding all these extra drills etc.

Oh crap i miss typed it, never in my life have i done dbell bench squat, it was simply dumbbell bench lol, i kept wondering what you guys were talking about. Tam, your great with all your wisdom quotes

Do i post alot of wisdom quotes?

No I guess not, your wisdom in general is appreciated though

this was just brought to my attention. might want to talk to acbarchjr (squatdr) http://flying101.org/ac_barch.html

Ball+upper weights(KB workout 5)

good barefoot warmup

played some decent fullcourt basketball for about an hour, which replaced the sprint work(plus raining outside so)

Bench- 225x6, 255x3, 255x3, need to lower my max percentages to 295lbs

Dbell Incline- 80’s 2x6, feeling a little dead

Seated Row- 3x10 (most weigt on rack)
Face Pull- 3x10

Dbell Shrugs- 3x10 40’s
Hammer Curls- 3x10 40’s

did about half an hour of shooting work after

regarding AC, have talked to him before, bascially built up a crazy strong squat while staying athletic- video is the result

at the new place I am training at, there is a vertimax in accessible, wondering if i should start to implment it and if anyone here has any solid experience or insight on the vertimax??

Vertimax is interesting. Have you seen the recent NSCA studies showing its amazing results?(seriously) I have played around with the opposite of Vertimax (suspended jumps) but never personally used the Vertimax. There were howls for a vertimax/suspended jumps combination study but no one has stepped up to the plate on that one yet.

Any readable information on the internet about its effectiveness etc?

Probably behind bars somewhere. What’s your email address?

keep up the work
