« on: February 02, 2013, 01:56:45 pm »2/2/13 Satuday BW=164.0
went and played b-ball this morning, got warmed up good and tested my RVJ. EFFORTLESS 34" time after time!
I didn't think to test my standing but It was easily at 30"s today. So one more inch for my 35" RVJ goal.
With 34"s getting to high palm, I feel confident I could dunk off the bounce with a solid 36".
More work to be done, but solid progress is super affirming that I am on the right track.

probably not for the best but It is how I am built at any rate. I wonder if this kind of thing came easier for me, if I would have the same focus?

got off my schedule by a day due to responsibility. I was still sore from hoop on Saturday until yesterday.
Tonight weight felt super light. This workout was the absolute pinnacle of my life. Never have I done more weight for more reps on the squat.

Good luck on the job interview. Go in confident and nail it.
your use of the phrase "as balls" cracks me up.

When I look over my upperbody log during that time period it seems like I haven't made any gains
Seems like my specially designed upper-body maintenance program is working excellent.

In the valley today. although the MSEM squat is a PR. I am going to get in some heavy bag work today also.
I missed my open gym this morning due to work. which sucks as I feel like my athletic prowess is elevated in the last few months.

« on: January 09, 2013, 09:17:46 pm »another squat PR 7x280. My legs feel like they can do more at this point but 280 is digging in my back hard by rep 7.
Maybe its my skirt getting caught in my panties?
or maybe it's your back telling your brain that if you push it harder you're going to injure it.
re-phrase not like my lower back is rounding due to excessive weight. more like it's uncomfortable to have the bar sinking in to my upper back for prolonged periods of time. but either way, good point.
I have never used the bar pad, but maybe a manta ray would be a good investment?
So yeah I think you're right when you say that they'd still be pretty strong/athletic people even though their only punters.
Edit- Nice work on the squat PR!
Thanks mate.
Those aussie rules footballer don't look to me like your average NFL punters.
After doing some internet research they don't seem to show combine data for 40 yards/ bench type data on kickers/punters.
But they do all seem to be 6'3"ish and around 225 pounds. So safe to say they should be able to easily kick my ass in most any measure of athletic performance.

« on: January 08, 2013, 11:11:01 pm »what do you think your 1RM is for bench right now?
I can get 250#'s max.
225 I typically can do 5 reps fresh. not enough to get noticed at the combine.
maybe as a punter.
It makes me wonder what kind of numbers NFL punters put up for stats. Do they even get run in the combine?
I bet they are still pretty elite athletes on average. They put in much work due to the overall lack of respect.
I remember when the sonic's drafted Kevin Durant, he couldn't bench 185 once. granted when you are 6'10" and built like him your chest is a long way down. Still hasn't seemed to slow him down in the pros.
