Fell off a little bit here. did two workouts since my last post. one was a half assed upper body plus squats. the other was a full body done this past friday.

im switching to full body 2x a week. workotus take like 3 hours lmao. but i eat in between. also im fasting for ramadan. i do more or less my upper body workout, break my fast, chill for a little, then lower body.

feels so much friggen better only having to commute to the gym twice a week. i have so much more time to myself during the week this way.

Pretty good workout. I tried to dunk before lifting. Was not getting nearly as high as I did the other week, which tells me I was deloaded that other week.
I couldn't manage a single two hander, wtf man. I'll try doing some dunks on thursday (my next leg day) and see how high I can get.

Oh and I didn't get to go to the gym this weeeknd and record some dunk vids. My membership expired, but the front desk guy is cool with me, he lets me in all the time. But he only works mon-fri. so no weekend dunking from me.

I did legs yesterday and i have a game today. Maybe after the game i'll catch a tomahawk or two. If i can, then that's pretty impressive. In the past i've only been able to tomahawk when im very well rested and warmed up after a short pick up game... not after intense full court a day after legs!

edit: cant make it to the game so i'll go to the gym and warm up myself with a few pick ups and get a vid or two :)

Summary:
- Squats have a lot of catching up to do on the back up sets... but I feel like I could match my top set of 365x3... weird.
- Deadlifts are only 15lbs short... but back then I would deadlift on its own day. Now I deadlift after squats. I'd say it's the same.
- I'll be closing in on my bench PR soon
- Lateral raises I'm right there. Nice.
- Pendlay rows I'm pretty close as well. Taking it slowly on these.
- Cable rows I'm almost there.
- Weighted pull ups I'm almost there.]
- BW pull ups I'm stronger then ever!
- Calf raises I'm wayyyyyy behind... god damn did I have some strong calves back then.

Hitting PR's in pull ups... soon to be matching my PR's in pendlay rows, cable rows, and lateral raises... its been a long time since I was in PR territory.

This workout was the day of the tomahawk vid I posted, i just forgot to update. I lifted first and then did the tomahawk.

I could probably get 38" at my best.

I really think I could close in on 40" by September if I stay healthy and I dont regress on my squats like I do every now and then. For God's sake, I squatting that 405 back in JANUARY and then stalled and got sick twice. At the time I was doing 360x3, did the 405 1RM, and then 365x3. Right now I'm doing 355x3 still... could get 360x3 though. I'm STILLLLL not back at my JANUARY strength levels. I honestly cannot believe how many times over my training career I've stalled and regressed and taken forever to get back to where I was.

I'll try to measure the height of the backboard cushion this weekend. The rim too; it's a side rim and feels a little bit low tbh.
Also going to measure my height in my two pairs of bball sneakers.

I just really hope that i get just as high this saturday. I hope yesterday wasnt just some supercompensated explosiveness. The fact that i squatted heavy the day before it makes me think it wasnt.

Ahhhhh i cant wait!

I squatted yesterday. But today i was flying.... Holy shit guys...

Perhaps its because i missed a leg day last week (which means i havent done legs since last tuesday) and im deloaded. Yesterday i squatted but didnt deadlift or do back extensions. Hmm... I still did squat heavy though, so am i really that deloaded?

Heres a tomahawk from today. Cannot believe how easily i hammered this shit. Sorry for the crap angle, not sure why the retard didnt back up.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnwF0JsZYU0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnwF0JsZYU0</a>


Thursday i do legs again. Friday upper. I want to jump out the gym Saturday and get some awesome footage. Cant wait...

I can't wait to squat again and again. This is good. Whenever I'm really excited and looking forward to my next workouts, I make decent gains. I'm more excited to increase the weight on the bar rather than jumping higher right now lol.

I also want to start recording my squats for the hell of it. Mainly my Monday top set of 3.

I missed two workouts last week. Legs felt stronger, but bench suffered as usual.
Was too lazy to do the rest.

I'm happy about the squat though. I should be back to 365x3 in a month or so; not rushing it.

I coulda been jumping high as a motherfuck today if i practiced more last week plus decided to jump today.

I'm liking that site much better the way it is now!

I didn't get terminal vertical, but I was on the vertical summit.

The vertical summit. THATS the one.
TheJump101 was before TVS. My log with low bar squats wouldve been on there if TVS was still up.
