WEIGHT: ??
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, head but milder than yesterday
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a few
one size 3 ball dunk, which may be the first time i've been able to do that two days in a row. or at least the first time i've done it two days in a row. that's a PR. first couple of jumps felt good but the dropoff was precipitous.

- squat 225 x 6,6
easy-peasy, no back discomfort at all.

- superset x 2
-- RDL 275 x 10
used straps. this was challenging. good.
-- toes to bar x 6
that's as long as i can go while still protecting the left shoulder. still pleased that i could do them at all.

- stretch

well it wasn't quite at my wrist, or like at the seam between wrist and palm. it was a PR-tying jump, i think. but i've still never been able to fold my hand over the rim if that makes sense.

thanks fellas!

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, head
MENTAL STATE: good, relaxed

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a bunch
so good, best in a while. one was 36, banged the bottom of my palm on the rim. easy, easy dodgeball dunks.

- stretch

notably, jogging to and from the gym felt GREAT. my body just wanted to propel itself forward, legs felt springy, low effort.

man it just sounds like you need a new challenge and, as always, to get out of your own head and stop beating yourself up. some ideas, all of which i'm completely serious about:

1. dancing. wish i was a better dancer. can be really good exercise, but not draining. learn how to salsa or rumba or swing or something. keep lifting in the background but dance. and start dropping some panties, if you're into that sort of thing.
2. yoga. pick a position that you can't do and work toward being able to do it.
3. some kind of aerobic shit, do a long distance swimming comp or something.
4. your idea about really high rep lifting seems like a good one. sets of 20 and plate swings and shit. work up to 100x20 squat, or 120x20.
5. build some strongman-type implements and fuck around with them. you train at home, why not get a truck tire or make yourself a sandbag or two?
6. sprint. go check out what acole was doing these past few months and just do that.

anyway you'll probably disregard all that, which is fine. just trying to think of things you could distract yourself with while still being productive.

word, my butthurt self just wanted to make sure that he's not some unathletic guy who turned himself into a great dunker through gritty grit and scrappy hard work. can dunk on 10' by 16 at 6' tall = very athletic. his ceiling was always high. he just keeps getting closer and closer to it than pretty much anyone else right now.

Damn good question lol!

As a motivational factor maybe toss up his vids from 5-6 years ago where he could barely dunk 9'9".

his oldest videos (2009) have him dunking pretty authoritatively on 10' -- windmills, two-handers, etc. nothing like what he's doing now, obviously. but he could dunk easily at 17.
