« on: March 28, 2014, 06:32:45 pm »Well....realized how exactly out of shape I am. WOW.
My buddy who will be trying out at the USA Select tryouts and I got worked out by a former overseas coach (currently works with the Atlanta Hawks! And played for Flip Saunders O_o ) and man my legs are fried. Lol! Learned a ton though and it was very eye opening. They're trying to get me to go tryout with my buddy but IDK, im not in competitive game shape. Rec league yea...but with only 4 weeks I'm not sure I could get where I need to be. I'll think about it.
If my legs can recover then I'll hit the weights later.
Awesome day!!!
uh, sweet opportunity, congrats on the invite, get your ass in gear. four weeks is plenty of time to kick your own ass and get in some semblance of shape.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little tight but not painful
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- jumps x ~30
started off really strong, finally got to practice a few lobs with avishek but i just didn't have the height, plus it was the first time every doing them so timing and rhythm were messy. wasn't at my all-time best height either. he gave me some helpful feedback on my SLRVJ, too. he definitely had the height on a couple jumps but the timing/placement wasn't there. oh well, was good to finally try some lobs, even if i don't feel like i was all that close to getting one.

worked out with avishek tonight.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little tight but not painful
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- superset x 3
-- DB OHP 50s x 6
-- pull up x 6
- decline situps +18 x 10; +35 x 10 (last 3 bar in front of neck on the concentric)
- various jumps x 25-30
grabbed some food and now gonna stretch and SMR while watching ncaas. it was nice to work out with avishek but i'd been hoping to do rim jumps. legs and CNS felt primed for it. but the court was in full use so it wasn't to be. we did a bunch of short-approach jumps off one and two instead on a squash court. gonna try to jump on the basketball court tomorrow around noon.

the french announcers for that dunk are absolutely great. i can't understand a word of it but it reminds me a little of that crazy argentine announcer calling the goal of the century, where at the end he's crying and apologizing to the viewers for his tears.

what does that even mean?
