7/5/13 Friday BW=158.6

squat 5x185, 1x225, 1x235, 3x235, 8x205, 8x205
bench 3x8x185

Super unproductive week for progress. Did ~40 jump yesterday, my ME jumps were no better than 32ish off concrete.

Weights were super heavy and awkward.

6/30/13 Sunday BW=158.0

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x245, 6X235, 8x215, 8x215.
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x155, 5x175
calf raise #140 3x20

My work life balance has been slanted lately and workouts have been spread out.
AM b-ball finished up on almost two weeks ago. But I played basketball on saturday, and curiously enough my RVJ
is definitely at PR level. I could jump 33-34" repeatedly even after many games. 35"s for me on a 10' goal is about the middle of my palm. I am not quite there yet but a least one of my jumps was damn close, Maybe 34.5ish.

Positive reinforcement that I am on the right track anyway.

I use the 2.5 weights too. Feels wayyyyy better. Eventually I'll get some lifting shoes but the weights work for me pretty well.

My thoughts exactly!

6/25/13 Tuesday BW=158.4

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x245, 5x115(js), 7x230, 8x210, 8x210
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x155, 5x165, 5x175
p90x abs

Good work out tonight. Bar speed is excellent, and my form is greatly improved.

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?

6/17/13 Monday BW=157.6

AM b-ball 1.5 hours

squat 5x185, 1x225, 6x225, 8x205, 8x205
bench 3x8x185
sit up L,M,R 3x25

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

jump squat 5x45, 5x95

GHR BW 3x15
sit ups +10 3x70

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?

Ready for more progress.
