watch the whole thing. the second-to-last lift is a guy DLing 605 at 155 with a double-overhand grip.

that was an alternate grip. still extremely awesome.

indeed it was. not sure what i was seeing the first time around. but yes, holy balls, what a lift.

Off right? That's so random.

nah it makes sense, my right leg is a stronger plant leg (i kick left-footed).

yeah i'm gonna stick with 'em for a while. would be so sweet to have a full ROM unassisted.

also, i meant to mention: touched rim off right leg SLRVJ, very close off left today.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a tiny bit
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- jumps x 25-30, out to four-step
very good, consistent 33-33.5 off three steps, couple of clean "dunks" of the mini soccer ball and a couple near misses. ~34-35 off four steps.

- superset x 2
-- assisted natural GHR x 5,8
-- dips x 10
-- pull ups x 10,6+2+2

- superset x 3
-- cable hip thrust 160 x 10
-- low cable row 80 x 10/each
-- DB OHP 30s x 10

minimal rest on both supersets. dislike cable rows, gonna stick to inverted rows. no time to stretch. busy social schedule this afternoon/evening.  ::)

Didn't read it.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: VMOs, adductors, lats/intercostals
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: meh

- shoot around and layups x 30 mins

- jumps
tried a few but i was barely hitting 30 off one step. too sore. better to get in and move around with a bunch of submax jumps than not.

WEIGHT: 173
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe but it went away
MENTAL STATE: happy

- warm up

- squat 315 x 2,2; 185 x 20
first 20-repper. felt it a bit in the low back once i got up there in reps but this was not super challenging. fun way to get some squats in without taxing myself too much. might do these once a week or every two.

- superset x 2
-- assisted natural GHR x 5
-- pull up x 8
-- DB OHP 45s x 8

- superset x 5
-- DB swing 45 x 10
-- band pull apart x 10
-- push up x 10

- BB decline sit up 35 x 10

- curlzzzzzzzzz 20s x 10

- stretch

i'm liking higher-volume stuff. it's a way to push myself for upper body and get a little conditioning in - rest on the first superset was 45-60s and on the second more like 15-30s - without challenging my CNS with heavy weights or with any kind of preoccupation on getting stronger. i'll continue to add weight slowly and mix things up to get in a good amount of pushes and pulls, but i'm not going to stress about it. it's fun. also i found a machine in the gym that i can use to do natural GHRs so i'm going to start doing those again, alternating with RDL variations.

Haha told ya you were there!

And you still have a ways to go until you can say "I'm very good at movement efficiency now" - meaning, you can still jump higher by continuing with practicing jumps and whatever else that you currently do now that got you here.

surely. for one thing, i noticed today that i had to take off from a bit farther away than normal, maybe 0.5m, in order to be taking off from the right spot. that means i was covering more ground with each step, which means i was putting more power into the floor with each step. good stuff.

on the SLRVJ, i think it's mostly a matter of having been practicing a lot. just doing a lot of layups. but still pleeeeeenty of room to improve.

SLRVJ PR off both legs - 30" (touching rim for the first time off one)

DSVJ PR - 30" (touching rim off drop step for the first time)

three-step RVJ PR tie - 34"

four-step RVJ all-time PR - 35.6 or maybe even 36

first time cleanly dunking a mini ball (dodgeball sized, had put it in ugly before but never straight down through the rim).
