bw 158

ate a ton today, good stuff.. hoping for some great jumps tomorrow night.



workout:
- warmup
- 10 yard sprints: 5-6 work ups, 5 full speed
- 20 yard sprints: 4 from a deeper 2 point
- broad jumps: 3x5 (best of 96-97", brought tape measure)
- single leg box jumps: onto ~18" bench: 3x5
- upper body was weak, did alot yesterday
- chinups: 12
- dips: 10
- hamstring iso: 2min
- squat iso: 2min


pmghr's throughout the day: a set of 5 every 30min to 60min.. feeling much better on these today, really getting a good hamstring contraction.. going deeper on my partials.

left achilles is tight/bugging a bit from a broad jump landing, so that sucks.. tomorrow i have dunks/depth jumps from 18" (2x10) planned.



peace

Basketball / Re: BOSTON CELTICS vs LA LAKERS
« on: June 14, 2010, 05:13:30 am »
3-2 CELTICS......

watched the game live, pierce's hands were on fire, allen and perkins kept fouling, rondo was excellent was so good seeing him push artest  :D

celts will get it in 7

artest is such a liability for LA, i cant believe phil has him out there..

if lakers win game 6 then i have no idea who will win it.. i think celts have to close it out in 6 to get it... home court advantage is just TOO strong in the nba.. watch LA will play phenomenal in la, with the help of the refs.. its ridiculous.

celtcics just have a much deeper roster, they should win this i'd be shocked if they don't in 6.

Jumped/shot baskets for a while outside. Jumps were pretty good. ~6.5" over 9'8 with one hand.



Hip mobility w/ barbell

Squat warmup: 135x5 185x3 - forgot I was supposed to do Reactive squats first

REA squat: 45x3 120x3 125x3 130x3 130x3 - definitely getting easier

Squat: 225x1 245x5 250x7 - PR

Walking Lunges: 163x5e 173x5e - PR

Core circuit x2



damn man congrats on those PR's, 250 x 7 is no joke.. good jumps too!

you should vid some  of those 130 lb REA's.

peace mang




edit: after seeing the vid, first jump on there is great, that's the plant you need all of the time.. maybe you'll start utilizing it more, maybe the REA's are kicking in nice.

sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10' dunks coming up.

btw, don't just reduce caloric intake across the board, zigzag it.. lower cal days, higher cal days.. before anything important eat big the day before, but on other days you can eat alot lighter.

peace man

I do zig-zag but I do it differently , the days that i work out ( at 9pm )  i eat a little big at lunch ( 1pm ) and like a pig post-workout. All the other days i go light. Is this wrong?



well, in my opinion, i'd do it the other way.. doing it your way, your big lunch is really STILL in you on your jumping day, being digested, all of that yet to be digested food + fecal matter in there weighing you down 2-3 lb :D lol

if you eat big the day prior, you are ensured that food is digest come tomorrow at 9pm, plus you get to shit all of the undigested material out, because as you eat light during that jumping day (with fibrous food), you're still keeping your blood sugar levels proper, but stimulating your body to empty that excess food..

for example, say i weight 158 on wednesday morning, i eat big the day, weight in at night around 161 or so, wakeup next day 159 with food pretty much digested, eat small sandwhich + banana, take a bunch of craps, then maybe do that again + caffeine around 7pm, take more shits.. by the time im jumping im like 157-158 still instead of 161.. i know its only a few pounds but it does make a difference.. plus eating a ton of food THAT DAY can sometimes put your cns to sleep..

eating lighter helps maintain much higher arousal levels imo..



PARDON THE DISCUSSION ABOUT FECES ETC FOLKS, BUT IT HAS 2 B DONE.

:)



so my ideal strategy is:
- eat big + clean day before, NO junk/no crappy sugars
- eat light + very fibrous material day of, plus optionally caffeine+ginsing etc

that way:
- glycogen reserves are full
- arousal levels are higher
- you actually weight ~3-4 lb lighter than if you had eaten big on jump day
- etc


sometimes im pretty hungry come jumping, usually im not, but when i am hungry yet i have eaten light but nice during the day, im extremely irritable, which actually I think helps me jump even better.. like im just naturally more aggressive and pissed off if i havn't eaten alot prior to sprinting/jumping..

i dno their are some evolutionary mechanisms at play..

peace man, off to movies!

20645
ok check out week 4 above.. as you can see we took out upper body for this week, i want to see how you respond to it, i mean you have pullups/dips still in there but, we're removing some excess fatigue.. also notice dj's are in + msem singles are lighter but more volume, really focus on transitioning fast from eccentric to concentric, exploding all the way up to extension of the knee/hip, no need to really go on the toes though..

the goal is to jump great on thursday and saturday, so keep that in mind, thursday you will be more fresh than saturday so that day is important.. the light sprint day before is mostly for recovery and to wake up the CNS a bit.

peace man, let's get some pr's this week or next.

20646
hey man, check out week 3 here... i've helped you with the weights.. i mean, if your back is bugging don't hit those weights, but if you feel good then those are the goals..

tell me if you think 127kg is too much on those msem squats.. you did it for your first session, we need to keep up a certain strength 'threshold' during this phase, we don't want to be going up and down too much IF we can hit the goal weight that session.. those 3 singles should be hard, but doable for 2 sets, so give me some feedback on that, because you did 120/127 first session, then on week 2 last session you did 120/125 etc..

for example, we want something like this, as an example:

week 1: day 1: msem 127 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 120 kg @ 2x3
week 3: day 1: msem 130 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 125 kg @ 2x3

every 2nd week its bumping up as we transition entirely into explosive phase.








ok so, we'll have a two week rotation so to get some extra volume in on the second week.. this is what I propose:

Vertical jump testing / dunks session

Interesting elements of this session:
- I was wearing my hyperdunks instead of nike frees.
- Weight@session : 201,5 , i need to reduce my calorie intake , i thought i did this week but i obviousely failed.
- 6 hours before the session i drunk like 500ml wine

- 15' dynamic warmup + bunch of low/medium effort jumps.

Jumps on 9'10'' :
1x4 SVJs : 28''
1x3 2 step lead in jumps : ~31''
1x3 full runup jumps ~32''
Lights there were broken , light was too low so running jumps were holding back.
SVJs were awesome , i had the REA squat feeling doing them , blasting up , great shit!

10' rims were taken so i went to the 9'8'' rim that had lights so i could film

SVJ : 28'' here too
2-steps RVJ : 32+''
full runup RVJ : 33'' , hitting rim 4'' below wrist.

Then i had to leave , got only 2 dunk attempts on 9'8'', both 2 handers with only 2 steps , way too easy.
Awesome session , 201lbs + wine + no caffeine + 33'' , WTF !!!  :o  ;D
Ok , big statement : next time i get the 10' rim free , ill dunk it! :D



sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10' dunks coming up.

btw, don't just reduce caloric intake across the board, zigzag it.. lower cal days, higher cal days.. before anything important eat big the day before, but on other days you can eat alot lighter.

peace man

damn, missed the last workout.

had half court 4 on 4 with my mates today. played for a few hours.
testing in between each game to 11.
again, only consistent getting around 2 inches above.

hopefully the poor results are due to the fact that i went for ball in the morning, straight after a 12 hour graveyard shift at work, with a few hours sleep before said workshift...  :'(

damn :/

what is your sleep schedule like? i still can't figure it out.. i feel like we live on different sides of the planet it's weird.. eheh

ill post wo in a bit.

peace

I haven't watched football (or soccer as you call it) in such a long time... but this was a very good game to watch.

ya it was, very intense game.. i want to see south korea/argentina, that should be an insane game.. apparently south korea is on point.

*wheW* usa dodged a bullet in that second half, but that one guy who had that fast break (altidore) is so fast, could have won that game.
