Hi everyone -
My stats are:
Bodyweight: 195
Height: 6'3"
Bodyfat: 20+%
Standing Reach: 98"
Standing Vertical: 22"
Back squat: 3x5 130kg
Looking to take my vertical to 28" ish, to dunk at will. I can hit the rim with my wrist but can't dunk with the ball, one or two handed. Guess too heavy, too weak, too slow. Will look to fix this by losing 10+lb of fat, and taking the backsquat to 2BW and implementing some jump training.
What brought me here: I've followed Gary here from another board and think this is the right place for my goals.
Background: I started off with good intentions but a horrible introduction to weight training by following the obesification advice of a famous internet coach whose advice I implemented a little too uncritically, bulking up to 250lb in a few months starting from a chubby 200. I was quite skinny fat to begin with, needing to gain a lot of muscle but bulking from a high bodyfat only led to fat gains, as I understand now this is due to insulin sensitivity being quite poor for fat folk, and getting worser with each added kilo of weight. In short I was never going to put on any muscle starting skinnyfat. Since then i've spent the last year losing some 60lb of fat to a low of 188 earlier this year.
My goals are to continue getting stronger, leaner and more powerful and hopefully the payoff for all of this will be some impressive dunks when playing some ball with my friends.
