thanks chris. i think i'm okay at warming up by now but otherwise that actually looks pretty interesting. i think i'll do something along those lines, with secondary goals of lowering sprint times and increasing squatting weight. may add some tempo to the track day, as well. one problem is that i'm never quite sure when the court will be free. the last couple of weeks it's been free almost every night but i don't know how long that'll last. a bit hard to plan for.
Day 1 - max effort jumps; jumping assistance; upper
Day 2 - heavy swing + squat jump; squat ladders; squat assistance
Day 3 - bounds; sprints; tempo
Day 4 - submax jumps; jumping assistance
monday - tuesday/wednesday - thursday - saturday/sunday
also i haven't weighed myself in a while but if i've changed more than 1 pound from the last time i weighed myself i'll eat a lemon.

saturday;
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
had the stroke at the baltimore gym, could not miss. impressed the ten-year-old who was shooting around on the other rim, haha
- depth jumps @18" x 4,4,4
- ????
i forget, something else for legs
- DB row 95 x 10+3+3+3+3
- DB OHP 40 x 10+3+3+3+3
- stretch
tonight:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none to speak of; right ankle was bothering me on saturday but is okay today
MENTAL STATE: low motivation but otherwise okay, kind of weird
- warm up
took extra time getting warm, the gym was freezing at first
- DLRVJ x a bunch
hit 33 off of one step and then tanked again. never got higher than that. almost all approaches were off two steps because i just couldn't get up. something off again. switched to submax approaches and just worked
- MR half tuck x 27,24,27
- DLRVJ x a couple more submax
off two steps and then off four without the jump, just stopping in the jump position
- squat MSEM 315 x 5
fourth rep was weird, glutes felt turned off. all others solid.
gym closed so i had to dip.

yeah i do need to figure out what i can be progressing on, because progress on jumps is too slow and fitful to really track week to week. or i'm too dumb to figure out how to make a program that gets me progressively overloading and peaking for jumps.
dad home from hospital, all's fine. he's got some new medicine but otherwise seems to just have been a freak thing.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left hip a little sticky
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- DRLVJ x a few
pretty terrible, not worth doing ME jumps if height is so bad.
- MR half tuck x 19,18; SL MR half tuck x 20/leg
- squat 265 x 5,5,5
yeesh, all over the place and harder than it should have been. last four reps were good though.
- pull up x 10+3+3+3+1
- DB OHP 40s x 10+3+3+3
- stretch
feel better than yesterday.
thoughts about what i should be focusing on for the next little while? i'm not going to give up jumping whenever i can but like i said, it's hard for me to progress on predictably and that gets discouraging.

ACHES/INJURIES: ankle and thumb not fully healed
MENTAL STATE: started okay and went downhill
- warm up
- DRLVJ x some
hit 33" off one step, which is a really good jump for me. thought it was going to be a great day; that's usually a good sign. nope. never got over 34 off full run-up. fucking pissed. not sure what's wrong.
- squat 275 x 2
- SVJ x 2
- inverted row x 10
- DB OHP 45s x 5
feeling very down and discouraged. i haven't been disciplined enough about going to the gym it feels like in a long time. i haven't jumped well in what feels like a long time. i am patently spinning my wheels again.
also, in what may be related, my dad went to the hospital this morning because his heart was beating very fast and irregularly in the middle of the night. they admitted him right away and he's spending the night there so they can do tests and whatnot. i went up to see him in the afternoon and he seems totally fine -- he is pretty much fine, what he's got isn't life-threatening -- but it's scary nevertheless. disorienting to see my dad in a hospital gown.

unemployment in the neighborhood where freddie gray lived is 58%. it's not a problem of people being lazy -- although surely there are some lazy fuckers there, just as there are lazy fuckers in rich neighborhoods and all over the world -- it's a problem of systematic discrimination in many forms combined with the flight of the industrial base and all the jobs that went along with it.
frankly i give zero fucks if someone wants to stomp on the american flag.

meant to go to the gym tonight but worked until late (just getting home now at 8:45 PM) and have felt crappy most of the day. coordination is also off, like i'm dropping hangers and my shoe brush and stuff. will do SMR/stretching/band stuff but no workout.

yeah i just need to go back to cheapo ones. i bought one with ball bearings and shit and it's so dumb, doesn't turn faster and it's heavy.
anyway, yesterday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: ankle and thumb not fully healed
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DRLVJ x a bunch
first full jump was excellent, close to 36. rest uneven, overthinking. some other good jumps, and some where my takeoff was all wrong and i ended up under the hoop. i need to relax especially on days when i'm jumping well. a big first jump gets me psyched and thinking "PR!!!" and then i tighten up and shit gets weird.
- DB jump squat 25s x 4,4,4
- superset x 2
-- pull up x 5
-- assisted natural GHR x 10
-- dip x 10
-- pull up x 5
let my hamstrings do more of the talking on the GHRs. felt strong.
- stretch
ended up drinking a lot of wine and scotch last night and have been hung over most of the day today. in my defense, it was really good wine and really good scotch. and good company. my friend just bought a place that has a balcony and he grilled up steaks and veggies and we feasted. also drank. no booze for a little while, gotta clean out.
