PB i just tried doing these box jumps today about 3 sets until failure. Then I realised how weak I was to 'get out of the hole'. Recently I reached the 1x BW mark for my squats and sometimes I feel 'sleepy' like you mentioned, and some times I stall and I actually fell down from squatting for the first time ever due to failure upon squatting 1x my BW. I feel maybe the motion for jumping on the box and the pushing of the weights upwards during squads could just be the same.

started on stronglifts 5x5 in feb. so far only about a month of continuous training. today's box jumps I did at the park were not part of my regular routine, I felt I needed a workout cuz gonna be away from gym for the next few days haha

I read a bit on sheiko, looks good. may want to try it once i can squat 1.5x BW n DL 2x BW and done with stronglifts.

I'm getting to it! I'm almost able to box jump onto a Kancil height box. Yea I tested on my kancil. Sikittt lagi

I know. Eh bai, aku tergolek sial, sebab missed the height. Bodo je.

I find Sheiko to be a very solid routine, addressing both leg and back strength. The volume however, is just something I'm unsure about. Finish up with some box jumps buddy. Probably help your start speed.

I've just noticed something you know after watching the squatting and snatching and benching video i posted early.
Notice how he pushes his knees REALLY far apart. I find that this reduces the soreness in the knees, enables me to use better hip bounce and best of all, puts my bar right in a good position, so I don't have to stretch my ankles that much. And a bonus? I squatted 160 for 6 doubles, and it was actually very easy. It sorta felt like the weights was only about 110KG. I didn't go too much cuz I wanted to get the technique right.

So I do as normal, and toes pointed outwards and push my knees REALLY far out. The drive from the bottom is awesome!

I do it for variety's sake. But my staple grip is the straight grip as I don't want to build too much reliance on my dominant right side. But once in a while I'll do mixed grip if and when I want to. Grip strength, for me, comes with any grip as long as I grip the heck out of the bar.

yeah me! Squat hit new PR at 145kg and deadlift at 170kg! wooohooo.

hey shane, wat's your leg training like?
PR 145kg x 1? what's your leg routine?
