Impressive jumps! Made it look easy. 365 lbs looked very smooth. 400 lbs isn't safe. You will be squatting 400 lbs for reps soon. Finishing the year off strong! 💪💪
A huge part of this journey has been your encouragement and inspiration. Both you and Spencer have helped me think a bit different about training. I'm excited for a big 2025, and I can't wait to see what you accomplish.
Awesome squats and box jumps Sean! I’m hopping back on the long term youtube videos. Kind of sick of instagram. I had way more fun just making long videos and just talking and being myself. I’ll be tuned in way more! 💪🏻
Thank you sir. I'm glad to hear your jumping back on youtube, I look forward to seeing your videos again. How's the training been going lately? How far out from the hyrox are you? And Happy New Year!!
@ Happy New year as well Sean! Appreciate it. Training’s been going well. My first HYROX is March 29th, and I am also doing one in May. I love training for it. I’ve had to adapt and change my routine so many times. Still have lots of weight to lose. I wanna get back to around 180 and stay there. Thanks Sean! I’m pretty much gonna be posting videos on my daily training and just talking about life stuff and whatever else I wanna talk about. Have a great new year Sean.
That session was wild!!! Let’s gooooo. The jumps looked soooo much better from your explosive day. I think you will find just doing a little bit of different jumps your overall athleticism improves so much. Squat looked great perfect weight selection, I would think the buffalo bar shouldn’t make any difference to weight unless you can get a lower bar position with the curve. When we talked about the pause squats this is exactly the setup I was hoping you would run! Really excited to see them like this. The force is transferred a lot more direct than compared to SSB. What is your plan for explosive day, will you change or still keep SSB from the pins in there as well?
As far as jumps go, I still need to work on driving through the hips. But after we talked about that last session, I was really focused on hip extension. The squat was hard, but felt smooth if that makes sense. I didn't feel like there was a sticking point, which is huge. Maybe ten weeks ago when I failed 350, I went up a couple inches and hit a wall. I think the box squats really paid off. I really liked the pause setup. I think more bands are needed, but they felt good. They looked faster when I watched them back than they felt. I still want a squat variation from pins I think. I like the idea of not having any stored energy and trying to explode up.... maybe I go back to box squats but add bands, or go Buffalo bar. What are your thoughts? Or maybe I really go crazy, drop the weight a bit and do jump squats. I like the idea of the paused squats because I'm storing energy on the way down and a variation where everything is basically turned off and then on and explode.
@@buildingdadbod2.0one thing I wanted to mention, and I know you aren’t dumb a LOT of people have split their shins on box jumps like that! Do not push the landing height or put some thick cushion on there for landings please !
I think as long as you have these paused squats in this slot as traditional 3 x 5 with reasonable rir your explosive day you will be able to experiment and rotate the exercises you want. I would think the SSB pin squats transfer more closely to your deadlift. Like even watching you do those paused deficit banded deads I was thinking although your pause is at the bottom “sticking point” your sticking point is the act of creating your own tension without eccentric in the deadlift. Also another option if you want to work on overcoming dead weight is chain or strap suspended squat against chains. Almost like from a “sumo” deadlift starting position 10x2 or 8x3 with the big camber bar. Im sure speed boxes with a buffalo bar in that slot can work too just keeping in consideration shoulders or other things might experience tendinitis or overuse from the additional volume. It’s probably too early to tell, but with all the bands and chains your straight weight max squat will feel like NOTHING on your back which is a big psychological advantage too. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
@spencergraziano6840 your bang on with the deadlift. You have a great way of explaining this stuff. I can do 440 for doubles when I start from the rack with the tension on the eccentric. I definitely need to get that going from the floor. Lots to think over here, but I really appreciate the thoughtful feedback. 🤜🤛
I thought 24 inches was pushing the landing height 😂. I'll throw some soft mats up there. I figured stacking mats on there would be the safest way to add height now anyway. Honestly these jumps are new to me though, so I may not be dumb.... just ignorant.
I'm trying to get back to lifting. Yesterday in was also squating (i do high bar only). I got 115 kg (254 lbs) x 6 but could do 5 kgs more. I would like to finally squat 200 kg (440 lbs) in about a year but i'm afraid it will not happen as I also need to lose a lot of weight. Currently i'm about 225 and I used to weigh like 190.
Awesome, man. I'm glad to hear you're getting back into lifting. You're very explosive. The fact you picked up those oly lifts as fast as you did was insanely impressive. I have no doubt that if you're consistent, you'll hit 440. 440 high bar is a good goal, I want to see the video when you crush it.
Leading up to my Lumbar fusion I was in pretty rough shape, I got up to 236 lbs bodyweight. I'm now 185 lbs and getting stronger every month while closing in on 46 years old. I 100% believe you have greater potential than I do.
@buildingdadbod2.0 I'll make one if it happen but the only time I was strong to try 440 (I failed it that day though) I was 24. Now I'm 36 and out of shape. Today that my goal is 440 is rather optimistic but I feel like it one of the lifts i had in me already.
@@buildingdadbod2.0 will do my best. Squat is one of the hardest lifts for me though. It's the lift that get a performance hit. 2 weeks break and half the progress is gone :) of course it comes back but it's like toying with something fragile. It looks like RUclips deleted my previous comment.
I never get tired of watching you puff your cheeks out when you workout. It's so cute haha! I love that both girls seem to have inherited that method as well when they're focusing.
I'm super thankful for it. I didn't buy the most expensive equipment out there. I went for solid stuff that fit my style of working out, and I'm really happy with what I put together. It's taken a good 6 years to get to this point. Do you have a home gym?
If your back bothers you during jumps I’d highly suggest doing them in a padded shoe or jumping onto a mat, it’ll help take a lot of the shock out of your nerves. Also, if you can find a way to DIY it a reverse hyper may help you with that issue altogether.
Thank you for taking the time to comment with these great suggestions. My back does really good on controlled jumps now. Before and for the first whole after back lumbar fusion, the impact work wreck me. I am definitely going to put a pad on next time though, just to lessen the impact on all my joints. As for the reverse hyper, I actually bought one when I was recovering from back surgery, and I absolutely love it. Have an awesome day, and thanks again for the suggestions 🤜🤛

Let’s go!
Thanks for the support🤜🤛. Hopefully 2025 the squat will go to another level.
Nice job man. You'll definitely get 400lb this year. It's my goal as well. I'm following you to see you hit your goal. Let's goooo
Thanks man, I appreciate the support. Where are you at on your squat? I hope you smash 400 lbs in 2025!!

Once you work yourself back into shape you will feel a lot younger again. I feel younger now than I did at 36.
I never get tired of watching you puff your cheeks out when you workout. It's so cute haha! I love that both girls seem to have inherited that method as well when they're focusing.
It gives us our strength 💪
I need your gym XD
