Weight: 179.6
PCs: 75 x 3 x 2, 85 x 3 x 2, 95 x 3 x 3
Was going to be deads, with first reset, but in my review of the NLP (which, admittedly, I've customized quite a bit, but anyway...), you're supposed to be alternating PCs with DLs once DLs get heavy. They got heavy several weeks ago, LOL, so I added PCs in today, which I haven't done in just over 3 years. I had worked up to 115 x 3 x 5 at that time.
Today I kept the weights low, and, while I'm sure my form absolutely sucks, I'm concentrating on form over increasing the weight quickly. Next time I will aim for 100 x 3 x 5, and then probably make 2.5# increases after that.
Side note: Having watched Rip's videos about trans people in women's sports, and his in-depth discussion of nueromuscular efficiency and the SVJ, I did a quick test of my SVJ, quick and dirty, and not even necessarily a max reading, due to the spur of the moment test setup. I came in at about 16", which isn't very good, but totally expected, since I never had great reflexes or "explosiveness", as Rip would put it. (Actually, I have tremendous 'explosiveness', but in a totally unrelated sense
Typing this made me curious how that's changed since I was younger. Right now, my reach standing flat-footed is 7'3". Assume 1 more inch when I was in my late teens, due to getting a little shorter with age, and that's 7'4". When I was in my late teens, I could JUST touch a basketball rim, which is 10', so that's 2'8" = 32" jump. That can't be right, could it?
Oh wait, that was with a running start. So, actually, I have no idea what my SVJ was when I was that age. Anyway, semi-interesting trivia, LOL.
