Not really liking this journal so far man (I'll admit I laughed at the start tho). Quit the funny shit and get to work, you'll need some obsessive ass focus to get those goals you just set. Yes, it's a LOT of fun, besides; everyone has their own way of expressing themselves and making things work. However, your journal should represent your attitude imo and joking around in your journal in all posts? Have a feeling it'll hurt you in the long run. Most of the elite athletes you see around you don't fool around in the gym all day either, right? Take a look at most journals on here with reasonable succes, they heavily lack sarcasm and funnyness, they just represent sweat, intensity, hard work and above all they inspire. I'd save the jokes for the rest of the forum, that's all up to you though, make it work for you. Not entirely sure if flying in four is the way to go for you but it's real decent, 200 lbs should be doable, hows your form? GO GET IT MANG! |

Thanks for the heads up bro. I'll keep in mind to be serious and drop the level of the goofy shit, but I won't change it up too much. Gotta keep it real. ---------------------------- Day 6/28 of Flying in Four Beginner-TOUCHED THE RIM! Okay I think it was a 9ft. 11 inch or 10 inch rim, but maybe it was 10'', but I feel real pumped right now! Thanks so much for the community and the replies. Gah. -Did 2 sets of the supposed 1 set of Max Vertical Jumps of 3-5 reps in the program. Hope God doesn't penalize me. -Offday training so no weights today. Relatively easy. Question: I have basketball training tomorrow, but it is also Day 7 of Flying in Four, which is a Rest Day. Should I make it a point to really rest on that day, or should I add an extra day of rest since I didn't really rest persay? I know it's up to me to know my body's limits, but I was looking for what you guys would do in my situation. |

Day 7/28 of Flying in Four BeginnerWhat was supposed to be a Rest Day became: -a 2 hour basketball practice with my teammates -a maximum running and standing jumping session reaching for the rim for around 5-7 reps. Hoping this doesn't overtrain me for Day 8 when I'm supposed to be fresh, nor for our game this Day 9.

Good shit mang! Personally, I'd think it would be best if we'd modify that flying in four to your specific needs. You've got games and basketball practises we need to work around, definately need to prevent injuries due to fatigue. Also, I take it you want to be peaking at your game days, athletically right? Post up a rough schedule of your week and the lifting you're doing right now, let us have a look. |

Thanks man! Woo, feel pumped that you guys are so ready to help out. If I were you, I'd charge for this stuff. We have 5 practice sessions supposedly, but I made a deal with the coach so I only attend one per week, that I'd "work on my own game" on my own. If I get dropped off the starting lineup, then I go do the regular 5 mandatory. So far so good. Our division has their games normally on weekends only, so basically, right now, I only have to worry about 1-2 practice sessions and 1 weekend game day per week. Usually happens like this: Monday (occasional practice) Tuesday Wednesday Thursday (practice) Friday Saturday Sunday (game) |

Ultimate goal is I'd want you to be able to guide yourself training wise and not just follow a cookycutter program.

I see. Taking a look at your stats, SVJ/RVJ: around 23-25. Squat 140 @ 143 Current Goals (as of 2/7/2011) 1. Touch rim/gain 4 total inches by March 7, 2011. (you already did this correct?) 2. Get Squat up to 200 lbs by March 7, 2011. (Good goal) 3. Bulgarian Squat (might be a stability issue, not sure, need to see tape.) 4. SVJ = RVJ; (You lack reactivity and technique (+strength). We'll need to implement a lot of reactive work a long w. the strength components and a good ammount of max jumps since their not that taxing yet imo.) Longterm Goals
[] Get a Vertical jump of 35 inches by Feb. 7, 2012
[] Dunk regularly on a 10'' rim by October 29, 2011 (my Entry-into-Womanhood Birthday)
[] Have a jump shot stroke from 20 feet/3 point area by October 29, 2011Okay good, weekly schedule looks good, I can definately visualize big gains coming up. We do kinda need is a video of you squatting to see if your form is correct, extremely picky w. form because of personal experience though, keep that in mind; I'm biased. Couple of questions: 1.What's the priority? Becoming a more skilled basketball player or getting vert right now? 2.How are you going to manage shooting jumpers/working on your handle? Daily? Every morning? 3.When do you have time to lift? Hows your sleeping pattern? Hows your diet? pce |

I'm so thankful now that I did more than the fair share of max vert jumps this week, after I saw your comment on them.  My priority is vert, while maintaining above average skills. I do the Effective Ball handle program stationary and seated the regulated amount of times, and 1 run of the Moving program every week. I'd do the Prolific shooting program if it wasn't so taxing on the legs for me. Sleeping pattern is never below 7 hours, usually at 7 and a half to 8. Diet is 2 eggs whenever I feel like it (so maybe thrice a day), 2 peanut butter and banana sandwiches, good amounts of rice, lots of veggies and chicken breast/lean meat. I make it a point to have time to lift whenever the Flying in Four program tells me to, so that's more or less 3+ a week. 2. |

*bows to jard* great posts nicoodie, are you able to utilize a protein supplement? diet looks pretty good but it might be a bit lower in protein and alot higher in carb.. if you took protein shake directly after your workout it would help, also you could fit one more in with your PB sandwiches.. if not it's ok, but it might help.. regardless of total calorie intake, protein has to be optimal.. at least 1 gram per lb. bodyweight. good job hitting rim, sounds like you got one of your goals early.. next step grabbing rim. pc |

Agreed ^^ Nic, can you make some videos of you 1. Jumping at the rim 2. Fullsquatting a weight you can handle 5 times 3. Deadlifting (a bit heavier) 4. Bulg Split Squatting (let's see that problem) I'd prefer you do so before we give you a template to get loose with. pce |

Oh I thought the protein was enough. I'll throw in 3 eggs and 3 PB sandwiches a day now. I also drink 1-2 glasses of milk a day with that, so I'll keep that there. Yeah, finally got the rim, woo! Thanks for the support dude  Agreed ^^

I was planning on just video-ing my jumping this week, but I'll get to that squatting and bulg squatting vid asap too. Thanks Jard -------------------------------------------- Day 8/28 of Flying in Four Beginner- Weights day for the program. Did PRs on just about everything, but not much since they were pretty small. - Squats now up to 170 lbs, and I felt like I could go for more awhile ago. - Hip thrusts @ 120 lbs, Bulg Squat Iso hold @ 6 lbs per hand, Calf raises @ 130 lbs. - Weight was up to 145.5 lbs after lifting session. I think that's expected/good? |
