On video for SURE Andrew! I was shocked when i saw it, it felt like a 'throw away' jump.

Hey...who doesnt like nips lmao!

No game for the other rec league Thursday so I had some time post work to relax...bad idea. Couldnt get outside my own head about some stuff. Met the guys at the gym and told them i might be distant and in my own world... headphones in... hoodie up... time for warmups and some extreme focus to get on track.

Warmups/jumps

Deadlifts:

135 x8, 225 x4, 315 x1, 405 x1...485 x1. motherfuckin PR. Video looks way to back driven but i didnt even feel it. Weird.

5x3 at 435lb. Superset 38" standing box jumps x2.

Circuits x2:
-BSS (185lbs x8 PR!), seated calf raises, box jumps x2, core
-seated ham curl, glute machine, box jumps x2, core
-standing ham curl+light box squat finisher.

Idk if it was the focused idgaf attitude or lack of fatigue from no game prior but 485 is nice. Good session!

Lmao! 😁 Im weird I know. Id rather go shirtless with my pasty whiteness than show my knees. Im getting less self conscious about them tho!

Well....we took a L tonight. Probably would have lost anyway but the officiating SUCKED. To the point where even I said something to a ref after some insanely bad calls (and my momma would kill me if she saw lol! Ive always just played through). I got ran through on a screen and was called for the offensive foul (lmfao), got hitnhard enough to get spun around in mid aor on a few layups...no calls. Took a very high and obviously blatant elbow to my face on D and was called for that too smh. It was borderline hilarious looking back but it just made me mad in game. That lead to me scoring a bit and talking back to them A LOT in the 4th. I got warned for a future T after I yelled "gimme that shit" when my guy tried to post me up and spin off for a layup...I pinned it on the glass btw. Also had probably my highest jump EVER halfway through the 4th...

In bounds play from the baseline. Ball goes up to the top of the key and I slipped baseline off the wing and no one saw it. Pointed to the rim and went up...the doubled the ball and he couldn't throw the lob I was both elbows on the rim reverse style and was high enough for me to think... damn Chris, you're UP right now! The 5 or 6 guys on both benches said I was basically head at the rim. From the far bench they said it looked like I was over it but i know thats the angle of perception. Either way it was the best feeling jump Ive ever had for sure. Had a baby two hander late in the 4th on a secondary break. Nothing special

Ate. Did some speed work after. Got some pretty clean 50" box jumps off 3 steps. Not bad. Deadlifts tomorrow!

Ok....stupid stats in here....

Today...

Arrive at rec league game. warm up. Go out...feel good. Hit my first 3 shots (all 3s) before rimming out a heat check 25 footer. Proceed to drop 27 points in the first half and were down 44-40. But Im just not missing. I feel...normal. Like when i used to hoop  A LOT. Seond half...we come back. Up 15 or so and I come through the lane with 3 mins left and stuck at 48 points lol, get thrown an oop... I out jump the ball and try to 'slingshot' it. Back ironed. Holy hell! I got UP. Surprised becuase ive played every min...but im not tired. Hmmm. 1 min left. Still want 50... shovel pass in the lane. One step. Both hands. Body to body with a 6'2 defender. He has his hand on my shoulder and I dont care...Im putting him in a body bag. Nope. Back ironed again! Now Im mad AF. Next possession: Left to right crossover into the lane...RL plant...tomahawk. And I MURDERED it. Tried to kill the whole goal. 50 points! We win 90-68. I say hmmm... go make one ME jump. Dont feel the ankle snap but I see the video and wow. Ok. One attempt at a windmill off glass...meh shit toss. Off the dribble tomahawk just like in the game? Over powered lol! Im getting up but decide to save it for squats.

This was off my back deck around 8pm before the rain came.





This is a pic of the strip in PF I work right in the bottom right corner area.



And this is the road I drive to get to work, that hillside was all smoldering ash this morning but the hotel and Dollywood are virtually unscathed except some wind damage.

From what I know the county as a whole is in a lot better shape than we could be in given thesize of the fires and such. As is we still have 3 confirmed deaths and a lot missing. Few thousand had to be evacuated from GBurg and hundreds of homes are burnt to the ground not including the rental cabins and such.

And then tonight... (its 3:43  right now) we start getting some much needed rain (didnt get a ton last night) and with it we have tornado warnings, 90+ mph registered winds and inch sized hail. Had to cut my gym time extremely short. Basically warmed up and left to go put the cars in the basement and try to wind/hail proof the house some.

Crazy few days its been. Hoping its on the upswing. The rain should help the fire situation.

For those confused...parts of my County burned to the ground last nigh amidst the East TN wildfires and 70mph winds. Got a little insane around 2am before some much needed rain came in and helped out.

Good dress shoes are expensive. I always felt bad because girls can go grab a dress from any department store and a pair of 20$ heels from anywhere and look like a million bucks but if a guy is wearing deaprtment store threads and 20$ shoes....it shoes.

Then i added in the cost of the makeup most of these girls need and their jewelry accessories... i didnt feel as bad lol
