Decided to make a journal, even though I don't really have any access to any weights right now.

GOALS

Increase general speed
Do a 200 pound BSS
Throw down a reverse dunk
Throw down a windmill dunk
40 inch running vert
Squat 600 lbs


STATS

Standing vert at 31 inches.

If I calculate it out, I apparently have a 34 inch or so running vert. I'm not quite sure about this, I'll probably get a better estimate later, along with my numbers for squatting and such.

6'1" or so. Haven't really measured my height in a while.

7'8" reach, give or take an inch.

I dunk, just not powerfully. I want to posterize someone, not rise up and then switch hands to avoid the defense.

NOTES
I train barefoot, whether it be sprinting or shock jumps.

Monday
Morning - Plyos
  • Light sprinting
  • Standing Broad jumps
  • Max effort jumps
  • Depth jumps off of a high place. I amortize decently from it, so... mustn't be too high.

Played some ball before I did plyometrics. Ballhandling felt a little off since I hadn't played for a couple of weeks.

Evening
One leg half squat off a box at 150 pounds (partial assist with the off-leg)
2 x 5
1 x 4

I'm looking to get those one leg half squats up without any assist from the off-leg. Maybe in two weeks.
Note: You're gonna see some weird exercises from me since I don't really have any access to weights right now. I wing it.

Friday
Afternoon - halfcourt ball
Shock jumps
Fatigued from the halfcourt ball, so the shock jumps weren't as well-done as they ought to be. 'S'cool, though.

Evening
150 pound one-leg half squat off a box (slight assist with off-leg on concentric movement)
3 x 5

I'll probably do a month of this increasing the weight in five pound increments, then I'll switch over to Bulgarian split squat. Dunno how effective it'll be. Let's see.

Saturday
Half-court ball

Sunday
Two full-court games.

I won't workout this week since my legs feel fried. I'm'a take a break and maybe sprint in two days.

Monday
Shot around some ball. Easy stuff, just walking set shots and crap.

Couple of pull-up sets. Didn't bang out impressive numbers.

Stretching for the quads, glutes, calves, and hamstrings. Forgot the hip flexors, but I figure they're pretty flexible already.

Also tried this faux foam roll where I jam my forearm into my quads. Pretty painful.

I'm 21.

I've first started incorporating strength training into my workouts for... maybe almost a year? I was doing pretty much pure plyo before that if I did train (random shit like squat jumps and calf raises every other day) and just barely touching rim. After the strength training, my jump started going up. I'm actually pretty pissed off I didn't do this when I was younger. What I did was run miles, which probably wasn't good for my power.

I'm way past that, though, and I'm aiming to become the best that I can be.

Wednesday
Afternoon
30 yard sprints until speed dropped off


Evening
180 lb lunges

Easy stuff. I felt like doing a one-legged pistol squat with the weight, but... I ain't that crazy/strong/crazystrong yet.

I'm trying to achieve that strength, yeah. I'll get back to those crazy one leg halfsquats next week. Lemme tell you, lowering is what will kill you on the exercise.

Saturday
Glute ham-raise
3 x 6

I'll need to really work on these to get me blazin'.

Sunday
Couple of pullup sets with mild stretching in between

Friday
Afternoon

160 lb. one-leg halfsquat off a box (4 sets of 6)

Saturday
Morning

Half-court ball, felt pretty light and explosive

120 lb. one-leg calf-raise (2 sets of 12)

Sunday
Morning

Two full-court games, did not feel pretty light and explosive. Cut my hand on the rim, as well, which kinda sucks.

Monday
Morning

Skipping plyos today since I dunked around on Saturday and had the full court games on Sunday. I figure I better rest up from that. I'll hit the weights later, though.

Evening
160 lb. one-leg halfsquat off a box (4 sets of 5)

One full-court game after. So much for resting.

Bad news, guys. Contracted chicken pox. I don't really know how. I assumed these were insect bites, but... well, it's chicken pox.

I won't be able to do plyos for two weeks, I guess. I'll still try to keep lifting in order to not lose any strength.

Yup. This sucks.
