bw: 157

soreness: hamstrings/glutes
aches: none

i'm fallen into a major GPP phase so i don't expect to be jumping good right now..

workout #1:
- went to bball court for like 30 minutes, only had 30 minutes had to go somewhere
- some jumps off 1-2 step lead ins, like 30 max
- quads were dead

went out, had philly cheese steaks + ice cream

workout #2:
- felt real tired.. woke up a bit after jumps were done
- 3 20 yards sprints mixed in while walking to bball court
- 4 x 5 EACH (left right plant then right left plant) jumps from 1-2 step lead in, in track flats
- got 30" (10'6) or so max on LR, 10'3 or so max on RL
- happy about the RL plants, thats probably the highest ive had in a while
- most of my LR's were 28-29" though, didnt care though

- back to sprinting: ~3 x ~40, ~2 x ~60, ~2 x ~100
- i pulled my adductor on my second 100, which was intended to be my last sprint.. bleh shit is mad tight.. which reminds me, i need to somehow get very flexible without hurting myself...................... heh

- walking lunges: a ton.. hurt real bad on my adductor at first (~first 30 reps each leg or so), then it started loosening up..


stretching the rest of the night

i can barely move my hams/glutes/quads/adductor are pulsating.. lol




so ya i have to get more flexible without ripping a damn tendon.. so this was a good thing to happen in all honesty.. i stopped sprinting (well i decel'd) as soon as i felt it.. have to get more rom though!

peace

nice avitar, it's pacquiao!

im feeling good right now. nothing aching anywhere in fact! if i really stretch out my arms, the  sides of the chest still a tad sore, but nothing major like previous times. couldnt rep out as much on those dips and pullups ytd tho.

ytd on those squats was a different story haha. a few reps i didnt quite manage to explode up.

don't feel sore or anything now, but ytd i felt my hips tho. muscles all feel fine. wonder if im doing somethin stupid, like not loading or using the muscles properly to lift the weights.

no aches/soreness is what we want.. we want to feel fres pretty much all weak..

i think partially why i havent seen much gains in my vert is due to the fact that despite all the work i put in inside the weights room, i hardly actually ever go out and do the actual jumping. hhahaha! sure hope things change, and i hope i'll be able to dunk off a lob, on that lower rim this weekend, or 2 weeks later, when the last game of the season is.

right that's why thurs/sat are so important.. you've missed some jump sessions but, those days are intended to really get all of your jump volume in.. that's when you should be jumping best based on mon workout and thurs workout #2.. so if you miss those it definitely messes with things a bit, because that jumping needs to be there! hehe

after that, it'd be another month or so before the next one starts, so i'll be needing ur help once again adarq!  

of course!

glad i got that 90 on the bench, wanted it for a long time already. but all my reps on the bench, no matter the weight, nv touched my chest. all were abt 2 inches above.
this is cause i train alone, and the rack's safety bars with the bench height made benching to chest, while still having safety in case of failure impossible. haha, had an accident with the bar before with the bench press as well, pinned under the bar till someone saved me.

HAHHA, i think i got myself into accidents for each of my lift at one time in time or another.

damn, for the depth jumps, i do them off stacked up aerobic steps, but the max height i can get is around 24", no more steps around.  maybe i'll stack them on some plates or something... :/

nice work on the bench man, and those squat singles!

no need to go above 24" for now, so just keep it there..

nice workout..

how you feeling, strong, less fatigued, fatigued?

peace

haha nice!

that guy is such a beast, even though he's an umpa-lumpa now.

Vid that should make clear my issues with in-game jumping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsaOM5XBRxA . Well of course this isn't in-game and it also isn't a real spike approach, but it feels the same as an approach jump for me and i think it also looks like one.. I don't have any vball training until august or so, so this is the only footage I have..

i'd be interested in seeing what spikejon or adam thought, but you're definitely planting your feet so close together that your knees are basically knocking.. i mean in a jump like this, which is a much less aggressive runup than your other videos, your raw explosive strength is going to be much more of a factor, so getting SVJ/drop step SVJ up significantly will make all the difference.

peace man

Haha yeah, but I don't want this kind of approach in game, I want the approach I use without ball while spiking!

ya i know .. heh!

"all my best friends were black", every comedian jokes about whites saying that in the face of a racist remark, but it's true, they do.

And, though it pains me to link to an article of Gladwell's because I think he's complete shit as a writer:

http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/10/19/091019fa_fact_gladwell

thanks man those are some nice articles, not done with the second link but so far it's very interesting.. Just finished the kyle turley part, that guy is nuts regardless but with CTE he'll be on psycho level.

futbol (headers)/nfl/boxing is some risky shit.
