bit quick but that's okay.
- stretch
went to doc today about my ear pain. she said it's not infected, but that i should use a different kind of ear drops than the ones i've been using to deal with wax buildup. apparently that stuff can irritate. anyway not all that satisfying. i mention it only because they took my blood pressure and it was 110/77, which is the lowest it's ever been since i was at least 19.
what happened with the woman whose number you got?
Hello
I'm getting back into vert training. I still have a desire to dunk. I came so close before and have always felt like I have unfinished business. I want to start journaling here to help keep me on track. I browsed through this a couple of weeks ago to see what I was doing before that worked.
My vert sucks right now. I'd guess it to about 29". Over the last few weeks I've only grazed the rim a couple of times but am consistently within an inch of touching it.
I started squatting again within the last two months and have had a huge increase in appetite from it which has led to me gaining almost 10lbs. I think the weight gain has kept my vert stagnant despite the increase in strength.
Yesterday's workout:
jog warmup
dynamic stretching
short sprint at 50%
tuck jumps 2x10
pogos 2x12
4 rvj's with two sets of depth drops in between. I did a set of 3 then a set of 5 off of maybe a 20" box. First time doing anything off the box.
front squat 3x5 with 165lbs but only got 4 on the last set
I've been going back and forth between back squat and front squat.
My last back squat workout was 195 for 3x5 so I think my max is now approaching 1.5xbw. I'm currently weighing low 150's
Finished with two sets of single leg hamstrings curls on a machine.
Side note: I found a video of me jumping about 36" from 4.5 years ago. I think all I was doing was squatting and hang snatches and some yoga if I remember correctly. Unfortunately hang snatches aren't an option for me at the moment with my current gym setup but they seemed to work well for me.
edit 2: got full comments on my dissertation today from my adviser. won't even have to ask him about publishing it, he suggested it himself and gave some thoughts about how to change it to be publishable. sweet.
