Enjoyed the z press ladder Thursday, think that will be a staple moving forward. All sets except the first one were to failure, really need to focus more on intensity and cut some of the fluff and junk volume. Changing to a PPL upper/lower split for the coming week, forearms really don’t like log after farmers walk

Solid week. Heaviest squat in a long time with no belt or sleeves, technique just felt good for a change. Happy with volume on deads and managed to add 1 rep to every set with z presses.

Squats have been stale the last month or so so I attempted xeno squats today after seeing a recent post about them. Weights were 315,275,225.

@T3hPwnisher I’d appreciate some feedback on how the effort looked if you have time to sift through the vid. Fairly certain I picked the right starting weight but think I cheated my effort a little on the back off sets.

That was an outstanding effort dude! Don’t sweat that final backoff: you went WAY beyond RX. I only ever do ONE drop in weight. If I do a second one, its just for one max rep set: not another full round (so take 225 for one set to near failure and then be done in this case).

From here, the magic is in the follow on workouts. Adding just 1 rep at the start creates a cascade. Hope it goes well for you!

I will also say you will want to stay upright during the 12 deep breaths. You are wanting to breathe deep into the belly, DoggCrappb style, to promote recovery between rounds. Staying in place is a good idea too

Appreciate the feedback! After rereading your post in the leg day thread I realize I misread the back offs. Conditioning and low back got to me by time I was down to 225 BUT believing I had to go down to 225 likely left a few reps on the table at 275, that was my biggest concern.

I can see the crazy cascade with adding reps, especially when rounding up odd numbers and when reps get high enough you get additional sets on the back offs too, brutal.

I really like the conditioning aspect too, that out of breath lactic acid feeling is something I crave from my prior endurance athlete days and these deliver nicely. Deceptive too with the rest breaks getting shorter as you start to breath heavier.

There’s some good theories on the diaphragmatic breathing assisting with recovery. From my understanding, your brain doesn’t truly tell you you are exhausted until your accessory breathing muscles (scalenes, intercostals) are fatigued. Emphasis on diaphragm keeps them fresh for longer so your brain doesn’t hit the off switch. Also that idea that diaphragmatic breathing stimulates the vagus nerve which slows down heart rate. More than that there’s probably some magic behind being able to control your breathing when your body is screaming and wants to hyperventilate, gotta remind it who’s in control.

I didn’t know how I’d feel about zeno squats but really like them after giving them a shot, this will be a staple moving forward.

Dude, that’s outstanding! I’m so glad to hear you’re a fan. I honestly need to bring them back at some point too: they’re an outstanding plateau buster. You’re spot on too: learning how to control your breathing under this degree of fatigue is SUPER valuable as a competitor. And you also get a LOT of walkout practice with all the racking and re-racking with this. I always noticed how much it positively contributed to my ability to handle max loads as a result.

Nothing stale about that effort. Watching that made me want to squat again.
