had to delay it for a day, too much stuff at work on monday.

good thing there're no games scheduled for this weekend, so i have the option of pushing everythin back a day.

or mayb i'll just do day 2 work tmr as usual...

any difference adarq?

there's a slight difference, considering next week, but it'll be fine.. so go tues/fri/sat.

btw, i think my back felt fine... before the workout, i was consciously feeling for anything on the back, throughout the day on monday as well. while i think i could feel something there, i reckon it was never 100% anyway...

think i'll get to work on those back extensions to strengthen the back somemore...

nice man, glad it's alright.. good work on that workout too btw!

i actually missed the rutgersdnker one also somehow even though i'm subscribed, i actually just searched his username cause i wanted to talk to him about the national record he's gonna beat in the squat and possibly deadlift also on july 31st at a powerlifting meet for 165 lbs and i saw the vid

damn that will be ridiculous, hope he gets it.

this guy is fucking ridiculous too, so strong relative to his bodyweight

this is actually one of my goals but i'm long off, can't believe he did it, i've never seen anyone do that b4

does he have any high rep chin videos? if so how many can he do?

Yes , that's the way, dunking in the rain FTW.
I should post a dunk from that last session i did , its right when the heavy rain starts , you can see the floor changing colour , even a few rain drops fall on the lens!

HOLY SHIT!!!
Id say thats 4'' below wrist! So 12''  over rim , 11' touch ??            

well i'll go with 3" down, i really don't know how to interpret these weird angles from my mini-tripod HEHE!!!!!! i mean i know for a fact on my first real warmup jump before dunking, i hit that .5-1" down my wrist or whatever off 3 step lead, so ya maybe it was 35? i got no idea, the angle kills me.. haha.. im uploading a vid soon of it so you can judge.. the dunk i didn't slow mo you can see some real nice float in it.

i dno lemme upload vid, hah, i can't fig out this mini-tripod shit like i can with my large tripod :F

ya man i put some rain footage at the end of the vid, i dno if you can see it while im dunking, very bright light in the vid shields it a bit.

im happy regardless

Watched the video , i insist its 4'' below wrist , given the hand angle.
My vertec-eye says 35''

nice you are better than me at vert-eyeballing so i am definitely happy i don't know exactly how high it was but i definitely felt like i was flying, and those throw downs couldn't happen with some weak jumps, so im still happy this morning

peace man

All I did was some abs/hyperextension, and incline walking on the treadmill today.

A few days without doing any activities with impact, and it seems to be feeling a little better. Although it still hurts waking up and walking downstairs, or putting alot of weight on left side. I got a 1.5 inch thick pvc pipe today, and I'm going to start foam rolling on IT band on it. I'll let you guys know if this helps.

really dig into that left it band hard, hold the spots until the muscle turns into mush (you'll feel it relax).. give it 45 seconds or so, just try and relax/calm breaths etc.

peace

ok so the rain pissed me off, but then at 9:05pm or so, i went to the court, because the storm was overhead but still hadn't rained yet.. it was brewing for like 1 hour!

workout #1: dunks
- 5 minute warmup
- 33" jump off 3 step lead in
- 8 dunk attempts before it rained
- i pulled a vag dunk session (dunking in drizzling weather) lol.. it was drizzling lightly but i just had to dunk, i was flying.. finally after 8th one it started pouring so..
- no dunks went down but i was getting up nasty throwing them down hard.. i was in a huge rush.. resting like 15-20 seconds between dunks..
- used mini tripod so some distortion, but definitely wrist over rim a few inches

here's a few pics:







workout #2: 1am
- light sprints, short
- svj's no idea how high, ill put pictures in a bit
- tuck jumps: 2 x 10
- more svj's
- ice skaters
- one ~60 yard sprint on a curve
- single leg box jump (~18") to drop stabilize: 1 x ~8 each leg
- squat iso: 1:30 (being bit by misquitos)
- neutral grip pullups: 14 but stopped a few early
- pushups on handles: 20 but stopped way early
- hamstring iso: 1:30
- calf iso: 5minutes
- diamond pushup iso: 30 sec stopped early



one of the svj's:
- trying to figure out how high it is.. my reach in flats has to be 96 or 95.5", head height would be 71" probably.. track flats im shorter than basketball shoes.. so my head is a bit over that 96" or so, by how much im not sure.. i want to get my chin over that metal roof thing
