6/22/13 Saturday BW=158.2

squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x245, 6x225, 8x205, 8x205
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x145, 5x155
calf raise 140# 3x20
p90x abs 

tried lifting with 2 1/2# plates under my heels, which feels much better.

I have been lifting in track flats, so maybe its time to invest in real lifting shoes?

getting back in slow. weights were de-motivational today.

jumping near PR level repeatedly is so much easier now that I am conditioned at least.

6/14/13 Friday BW=156.8

AM b-ball 1.5 hours

Have not lifted again this week. no real fatigue or soreness. RVJ is still in the 33-33.5" range. no improvements.

Weight is at an all time low. Feeling lean as hell. Mostly muscle and bone at this point.

I ran 1.5 miles in a few ticks over 11 mins for my nephews training on thursday, which might not have been ideal.

If all goes ok on sunday I hope to get some more jumps in and re-evaluate.

6/4/13 Tuesday BW=160.0

More valleys tonight, My recovery is crap. 3 days is just not enough apparently.

positive note, my ab work is progressing and GHR's have gotten much easier over time.

My hamstrings now dominate my legs. I wonder if that is negative from a performance standpoint?

^^^^ Thanks guys. definite reset.
I just can't seem to find the groove in sports and lifting lately.

I felt a couple of months back I was timing in on major PR, but missed that window and have not felt right since. There will be some planned time off next week, so my PR's are just on delay.

There was a time that Ori, LBSS, cowed77, myself and of course adarqui, were the only active posters in here.
Here is his ( unfortunately abandoned ) journal : http://www.adarq.org/quitters-deserters/mike%27s-journal-to-a-40-inch-standing-vert/


wow, small internet. thanks vag.

I never realized he was on here. Read through his training log. pretty good stuff.

tonights w/o...

5/14/13 BW=161.0

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x255, failx265, (js) 5x115, 1,1x255, 7x235, 3x235.
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x155, 5x175, 5x185
ab wheel roll outs 3x15

failed a ton tonight.

I've been regressing and feeling discouraged lately. On a positive note my mobility is much better, squat depth and form is greatly improved. I am much better conditioned thanks to b-ball. So of course everything can't click all at once.

So I was reading this article after doing a search for Ori Biala.
(after reading Joel smiths article on the five elements of dunking.)

http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/HowMuchCanVertBeImproved.html


I starting working to enhance my athletic prowess via jump training on 5/12/07, oddly enough that was 6 years ago yesterday. My opening stats were incredibly average. I weighed in at 175lbs and had a running vert of 23"s. I was flabby, super out of shape and at 27 years old done physically maturing. I have been more than consistent in that time period, and have learned a-lot, despite the fact I still have tons to learn. That being said. I have definitely currently surpassed a 30% increase. My current running vertical is in the 33-34" range. So a 10" bump. I have lost 15lbs of fat and gained considerable muscle. On day one of this journey I would have been hard pressed to squat 95lbs ATG.
I am short limbed and slow twitch, so here is the quote that resonated with me from Kelley's article.....

"If you’re older and short legged with a slow nervous system and good natural strength levels your potential gains might be towards the lower end. In summary you have to identify what "type" of athlete you are and just do what you can do with what you have to work with. It should also be noted that consistency over time will be the most important variable. Not many people have the tenacity to stay dedicated for months and years on end. Those that do are often rewarded handsomely, as athletes like Ori prove."

I of course know that it is well with-in my genetic abilities to add another 3 inches to my RVJ, with my given make-up and current strength levels. but still gives me pause for reflection.
