Monday 18th November 2019

Still sore from last weights session.
Decided to skip upper body stuff today, not in mood for it

fasted
bodyweight without shoes - 87.5kg, 86.9kg back at home - should crack into 85kg by end of the week - the halfway point.


BBall practice session - 75 mins

dribble, shooting practice,  and intense dribble and moves.
Max effort moves the last 30 mins and jumps. And jump plant practise

Brought my foldable stool to practice moves against :)
Even though I'm sore and not that fresh I did jump an inch higher today, based on my height vs the net.
Looked about 9'7+" touch, off a hard penultimate into L-R plant.
Felt really bouncey and strong in my feet and calves, just pogoing around in 2-3 jumps in sequence like nothing, tipping in balls and doing double pump 2 legged jump power layups etc
Lower back was aching again on the landings after a bit :/

High low setup seems to be working well

Promising for 2 days after weights on a high calorie deficit.
So another 15kg lower in bodyweight, more torque in my engine, and eating more to restore my testosterone (no libido right now...) I should be over the rim for sure.

stretch

58 min walk with rests
mid walk - 1x 100m backwards walk up 20-30 degree sloped paths @ 2 mins

later on, practised my jump plants at home - low intensity
R-L plant messes me up!
I should be a R-L planter as I mostly dunk with the right hand, but I do a funky hop step off a L-R sequence to make my R-L plant jump.....
L-R is nice for doing double pump reverse layups, up and under the rim, coming from the right side though

no warmup, and no knee pain - sweet :)

Sunday 17th November 2019

Week 13
Height - 5'8.5"
weighed - 86.9kg (-0.8 ) 191.5lbs
waist - 35.75 inches (-3/8)
hip = 40.75
upper thigh = 25.75 (-0.25)

Tanita scale bodyfat% = 23.2 (-0.6%)

Total loss so far - weight  16.4kg 36lbs  Waist 7 1/8 inches  BF% Tanita 9.1%

less scale weight lost this week, but last week I lost more than expected from extra water loss, so it balances out.
No change in hip size this week, so maybe I gained some booty muscle mass :)

Tanita BF% is annoying me as I have seen much lower numbers during the week in the 21-22% range, so that is probably where I'm actually at

--

achey all over, and slight drained feeling.
My upper hammies and upper calves are sore from the good mornings onto toes, in a way that the single leg calf raises and RDLs don't seem to touch....

back at home

facing down garage slope, in oly shoes

10kg bumper plate ATG goblet squat mobility drill

5 mins rests - 80kg 2x8, 80kg x 12 @ RPE 9

Lower back feeling it a bit, and on the first rep with 80kg on front squats my mid back felt bad, did a better single after 30 secs rest, it's all down to my form, second rep much better braced.

The 2x8 with 80kg on  squats felt kinda hard on the 8th rep each time, so not sure how I got to 12 on the third AMRAP set  :o
One rep in the tank, especially so, when fresh.
Quite a jump from the 80kg x10 @RPE 10 last week!
So e1RM is about 120kg now, 264lbs


Kettbell swing onto toes 24kg x12
clean grip deadlift + RDL combo - deadlift, lowered to knee, RDL back up, then lowered under control RDL style back to floor 90kg x 8 combos -  4 reps normal, 4 reps hooked grip
Good morning onto toes 40kg x10
front squat support 110kg x30 secs, 100kg x 35 secs


Rotating between each exercise - 1-2 mins rest
single leg kneeling deadlift 10kg x 12
single leg calf raise - +10kg  x16

Standing single leg raise - lightest band I have - (straight legs x15 + bent leg x 15)

One arm loaded carries 24kg kettlebell x 50secs walk around front yards, each side
ATG splitsquat BWx10

released upper traps and triceps on loaded bar

stretch

I may not be jumping well, but the big calorie deficit hasn't effected my strength and muscle mass gains  :ninja:
Getting quite a bit bigger, may have a hard time getting under 70kg bodyweight now...

stretched the hell out of my pec minor and major today - tons of 2-3min stretches of all types.

Big difference - that sharp stabbing pain in my left shoulder that has been around for years is 90% gone  :o :ninja:

now to do the same for tight lats - should help my jump reach  :highfive:

starting to feel a bit better, mid back ache is finally starting to heal up, just gotta stay away from heavy front squats...

Soft tissue work and release session at home - paid more attention to my outer quad around the knee with my various massage balls.
Super painful - causing the kneecap to pull to that side


fasted
bodyweight without shoes - 87.9kg

BBall practice session - 50 mins

dribble, shooting practice,  and slow mo layups

light session - left foot started to hurt halfway through - couldn't do much after that :/
Pulled muscle in foot arch....

stretch

Resistance at the outdoor courts

banded elbow wall walk x 40 secs

alternating sets - 1.5 mins rest
pushups - feet elevated 24 inches - 6 inch hand width -  light JumpStretch band from hands around back - BW x10 @ RPE 9
BW x10 @ RPE 9
inverted row on stair railing - undergrip - BW x8, x8, different easier rail x10 - all @ RPE 9

Dips - on corner of fence - BW x 5 @ RPE 8

Hang from swing, thick bar, to stretch and work grip x 1 min

back at home -
elbow on knee external rotations - 2.5kg x12, 5kg 2x12

I figured it's time to split off my upper body stuff.
Tried dips today and it felt ok, no shoulder pain. Next time will do them first as they are harder than pushups.
The angle of the fence corner is quite a bit wider than the dip handles I have at home on the squat rack - places hands at 45 degree angle to each other, so that may be better for the shoulders
May also elevate my feet for my pushups on the swing seat next time. The surface under the swing is also rubbery and cushioned feeling, so that will help when I bail on the pushups :)

mid walk - 1x 100m backwards walk up 20-30 degree sloped paths - 2 mins
1x30m 30-45degree slope @ 50 secs x 3 sets - 2 mins rest

back at home

facing down garage slope, in oly shoes

rotating sets between the squats
front squat all paused - 40kg x3 , 60kg x3, 80kg x1
controlled down, paused, explode up - 85kg x1 @RPE 9

High bar squat all paused - 40kg x2 hold at bottom for 10 deep breaths each rep, 60kg x5, 80kg x1
controlled down, paused, explode up - 85kg x5 @ RPE 9
regular reps - 100kg x 5.5 @ RPE 10

Had planned to triple the 85kg front squat, but my mid back said no... started to ache
5th rep on 100kg squats felt OK, thought I had a 6th, but all strength died at the sticking point and I failed it...  :-X
May have been able to do it if fresh, so 1RM is around 115kg, 253lbs
Hmm 1RM front squat is probably 95kg

Starting to feel like the linear gains are running out now, at least while on a calorie deficit, time to change things up
Goal is to get 1RM to 315lbs by the time I hit 80kg bodyweight, which should give me enough strength to get fingers over the rim off steps, and touch the 9'10" off vertical.


Kettbell swing onto toes 24kg x12
clean grip deadlift + RDL combo - deadlift, lowered to knee, RDL back up, then lowered under control RDL style back to floor 87.5kg x 8 combos -  4 reps normal, 4 reps hooked grip
front squat support 110kg x30 secs, 100kg x 40 secs


Rotating between each exercise - 1-2 mins rest
single leg kneeling deadlift 10kg x 10
single leg calf raise - +10kg  x15, x12
Wall tib raise - body at 45 degree angle - BW x22, x20
high angle single arm row, elbow out
24kg kettlebell -  more controlled x15
Standing single leg raise
lightest band I have - (straight legs x13 + bent leg x 13) x 2 sets - a bit more band tension/stretch today

Peterson stepups - 2.5 inch BW  2x20, 4 inch BW x10

released upper traps and triceps on loaded bar
banded elbow wall walk x 60 secs 

stretch

----

Hot day, had not that much energy.
So I cut stuff out and volume a bit, so a bit of deload
I should have done my pushups and inverted rows at the court like normal, but when I tried to do them after my squats, I just had no desire, energy to do em...

i almost had to mute it, but this dude has some sick setups & footage.


Yeah he was one of the first to really popularise ant keeping - compare his view counts from now to older videos...
He has become more click baity, bombastic and now has an online shop selling ant stuff  :ninja:
