MORNING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: kind of slow but good
- warm up
- skater jump x 20
- one-step RVJ x 5,5
- two-step RVJ x a bunch
just working on getting low and getting my feet out in front in the plant so that my knees don't travel forward. not very good height.
EVENING
foam roll but otherwise fuck-all. was so exhausted. long day at work although it was partly my fault because i forgot about a deadline until like 5 PM and then i had to scramble to get this report out.

the opposite of dust. i wipe sweat on the bottoms of my shoes to make them stick. can't tell you how dusty that floor is.

« on: March 28, 2016, 01:26:37 pm »Maybe we should analyse how he ended up with this PR day... what preceded this? What happened in the last week or so, how did everything unfold?
My mind can't analyse jack shit right now as I'm headed towards even deeper depression, so can anybody summarize?
it's a good question. the only correlation i can suggest is that there seems to be a positive relationship between squatting heavy and then having 3-4 days of no weights and minimal intense work. most of the times i've PR'd jumps it's been on weekends after i missed a squat workout later in the week for some reason or other, usually not on purpose. i've also jumped best around late morning or midday. yesterday's milestone was achieved after breakfast but some of the other best jumping days have been fasted.
here are some vids from saturday. can't wait to get one up of an actual dunk.
i was frustrated.

sadly, no. i wasn't even expecting to jump today, so i didn't bring my phone.
but given how high i got up -- 5 PR jumps, including the dunk -- i think it's only a matter of time.

WEIGHT: 176.6 (173.6)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: amazing
- warm up
- DLRVJ x 20+
asked random dude shooting around on the other end to throw me a couple lobs. was really close on the first, on the second i pushed that motherfucking ball through the motherfucking hoop. missed a couple of others, including one that i front-ironed and ended up on my ass but was sooo close. hit clean 37s on at least 3-4 other jumps.
- squat 345 x 1; 355 x 1; 365 x 1
the last was an all-time PR, as well. 2.1xbw
was planning to just do a normal weight workout but the court was open, i was feeling awesome, and so i adjusted my plans. i'm grinning like an idiot and kind of feel like i want to cry. skipped rest of weight workout because i have to go to easter lunch with my grandma. who cares.
thank you andrew. thank you. thank you t0ddday for the recent help, i haven't followed it exactly but god damn if the half-assed way i have followed it didn't work. thanks vag, raptor, flander, acole, kelly and lance in absentia, avishek in absentia, and everyone else on here for being an awesome community and helping me stay on the grind.

suggestion to improve leg drive and timing based on my recent n=1 experience: DB push presses. easier on shoulders and wrists, no chance of hitting yourself in the chin or nose, can get rapid feedback on how much your legs are contributing to the press.

god what a lost week.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: knees-ish: see below
MENTAL STATE: very good
- warm up
right knee bothering me from waking until about halfway through this warm up. then no discomfort until later.
- skater jump x 20
- one-step RVJ x 5,5
- DLRVJ x 20-25
first 10 or so with vest, rest without vest. hit 33+ on a couple of vested jumps, 36 on the first unvested and then a bunch more in the 34-35 range. inconsistent but some really good. have some vids, will post.
- bound-bound-jump x 3,3
knee discomfort back immediately
- squat
on 185 warm up set my left knee started feeling crazy. two things: it's usually my right knee that hurts so this is extra annoying; and i've never quite had this feeling before, like shit was criss-crossing inside my knee. scrapped it. will lift tomorrow.
now i have to go help my dad cut down a tree. that should be fun, at least.

knees better, got really good sleep last night for the first time since last weekend. maybe sleep correlates super acutely to knee and/or other joint pain? something to track.
