Happy new year everybody!!!  :highfive:

Let's get to business!  ;D
Checking my log here , i see last weights session was 20 December , 2 weeks. Not good , not too bad though.
I am thinking , should i pick my ratio schedule where i left it , or should i hit a couple of sessions to "get back at it" ?
Last session was end of hypertrophy transition phase , according to the plan i gotta do:

Phase 3 : Neutral : [ 1 : 1 : 1 ] x 2
Phase 4 : Peak     : [ 0 : 1 : 1 ] x 3

I think i won't do any 'get back at it' shit , just go by feel on the weights , starting a bit low of course.
I will also expand the Neutral Phase cycles to 4 or 5 , the planned 2 cycles are too few , WTF was i thinking?

i wouldn't just jump right in where you left off, i would hit a few work back in sessions, then continue where you left off.. if it was 1 week, wouldnt be a problem, but two weeks, might get some extra fatigue/soreness going on for the first few sessions.

Other than that , some main points will be:

- stop bulking.
- put more cardio in , gotta get that bodyfat down.
- replace most carbs with fat ( good fat , mostly extra virgin olive oil and peanuts fat )
- combine the above and let body do what it wants. i expect/hope a slight weight loss but adding strength and maybe lean mass , so major fat loss. Wont let me go below 185 , should be at ~195 or so now.
- keep up with the boring work : core , stretch , grip training.
- more FA work , dropstep ~= rvj currently , that's unacceptable.

The other elements of my training are solid , not changing anything.

nice man, just be consistent with the dietary changes/FA work and it'll fall into place.. if you get lazy with diet, the fat loss won't happen of course.. but if you could drop some fat that's definite added inches to your vert, take the slow road, let it happen slowly, eventually who knows you might really lean out, you should be flying if that happens.

peace man!

Hey yo! My name's Nathan I just turned 18 and I'm currently a 1st-2nd year student at the University of Sydney studying health sciences with a human movement major. My motivation is to prove that short people and orientals can be strong and can not just play but dominate basketball (saying we're under-represented would be an understatement). Will be posting a training log shortly. Stay tuned! :wowthatwasnutswtf:

sick man welcome! a bunch of australians on here..

love your username, it kind of doesn't make sense imo but it sounds pretty badass. hah

Goals: 40+ inch vert
Benching my own weight
Squat 1.5x my own weight
Make an Australian Representative team for State-Nationals and/or a semi-professional club

someone at the courts did this balance push to someone else, and then made him put the bracelet on and did the same thing and balance was better.  i'm guessing his 2nd push was much softer and the dude planted his feet sturdier.  and then some people concluded that it has to do with some type of magnetic properties in the magnet or hologram

JESUS LIVES IN THOSE BRACELETS AND MAKES YOU STRONG THROUGH HIS GLORIOUS PROPRIOCEPTIVE ABILITIES.

wrong, it's due to the magnetism of one's chi and quantum physics can explain it, it has to do with nano electrons and electron passing.


sorry, heathen. you're going to hell.

actually, i'm not, thanks to my ionic influx capacitor magnetizing chi force jesus bracelet

they weren't that weak, two handers on 9'9 is pretty close to one handers on 10'.

your cam looks very good too man, watching the lifting vid right now, great quality.

peace!

he's like mini hot sauce x5 and plays on a real team.  but he should be a senior this year, atleast a junior.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voW6SJB5xcY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voW6SJB5xcY</a>

0:12 that's like a 44in running vert!

not sure but man does he get up good on a few of those jumps.. any vids of him dunking? yet to see him dunk.

honestly, this kid and guys on the pro level like barry sanders, sproles, maurice jones drew, earl boinkins, etc need to be shown to these kids/people who whine about their height.. sure being shorter can be a disadvantage, but look at the dudes i just mentioned, for them, they use it as an advantage.. when you're shorter, man you can really do some insane shit, insane change of direction, insane acceleration.

love this kid & his footage, he's ridiculous.

bw = 157
soreness = not much
aches/injuries = top of right foot, right lower leg occasionally during dunk session, right knee after dunk session, sacral spine issue flaring up slightly after squat session (because i was sitting down on this hard bench for too long, im such a retard)
fatigue = low
diet = prot shake + 2 teaspoon coffee, dunks + prot shake, prot shake, cheeseburger + ramen noodles, glass milk, prot shake + squatting, prot shake, pb sandwhich

workout #1:
- jumps/dunks, pics on previous page, landed some nice ones but i like how breakaway rims look/sound much better, going indoor wednesday hopefully.

workout #2: strenf
half squat: 45 @ 3x10, 135 x 5, 185 x 5 , 235 x 5, 255 x 5, 275 x 5, 295 x 5, 315 x 5 (5 at some kind of depth)
MEBM half squat: 225 x 20, 20 (good 10, 5, 5), 20 (better), 20, (12, 5, 3? better) , 20 (straight)

each set of 20's got better, thats impressive.. dug deep.

6:30am and still not even close to tired, not good.

Squats - Volume
[185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405,425 x1]
- 385 6x6

* cut down on warmup reps a little more. 1 day rest from sat squat and legs are firing nicely. hesitated on going to gym today. thought 385 4x2 last sat may need more recovery time. got good sleep mid day and decided to go for it.
* 425 was a lot easier today. so as the 405. felt like im ready to bust out a 405x6 the way it felt light on my back. sticked to the plan of volume sets. either 365 x8 or 385x6 depending on how strong i feel. went with 385.
* was aiming for 385 6x8 but at set 6 rep 6, spinal erectors were shot. it was a goodmorning rep but legs were still strong - i got the rep. lower back was really bloated right there.

WHOA, SICK!!!!!!!!!!! 425 x 1

nice man

* BW at gym - 194.5lb. BW empty - 192.5 ish. high volume squats burn lots of calories. i feel strong but my weight got depleted. lol.
* 385 36reps is a double bodyweight squat. not hard at all. was thinking of making a vid for darqui of a back up 325 x20. forget that. weights too light. i prefer to stick with 80ish % of 1RM. 70% is not going to cut it. it will be a 10-12RM pushed to 20. i prefer to use ~ 85% (385lb) ~ 5RM if piston repped and pushed for a 6rep multi sets. it will give  similar or more beating while using a noticeably heavier weight on the bar. or i just wussed out.  :P
* workout time - 3pm to 8:20pm. camped again. 2-3 workout without the high volume depth jumps. squats got a lot better. after i cut these volume reps, hopefully il peak nicely and end these squats. im getting tired..

LOL!!!

i can't talk shit, my workout has been going on for 2 hours and 3 minutes currently, one more set ;d
