haven't made it to the weight room a second time this week due to life. jumped on Friday and today and getting up good. Left ankle still can't stabilize high force well, but jumping great off right foot (slrvj). Want to get to #165 and maintain strength+ jump more.

jumped yesterday and was getting up great, better than in a long time. saw a scale weight below 170(169.4) so progress there also. got some work done at the gym today, added some overhead press. keep it up b.

On Saturday got a good warm up and tested my VJ.(on my 32nd b-day) Still at about 27.5 SVJ and 31 RVJ. Had a week off weights and am stronger then last time I tested. I am disappointed, my ankle is still bothering me and I feel it probably is holding me back. All considered, I think I am jumping alright considering my build and low strength levels. kinda stuck at the moment for what to do next to make improvement? I know getting to 165 will help. I feel a level of constant fatigue from what I do currently and seem to have a hard time taking it to the next level(which is what I need to make progress)
Any input greatly appreciated.

first day back on weights for legs, 255 felt great on squats, super explosive, good speed, no grinders.
needed a break to relieve fatigue.

Peaks and valleys.  valley

hate the valleys but what are you gonna do? keep putting in work. then, 

then, more valleys.

stupid age, i wish i were 18 again and I'm only 24.

preach it brother!

two weeks away from 32 for me, I heard peak power production is until 36?

sometimes I feel 18, just slower and not as springy + less energy, that could be from the grind tho?

Found a new court to ball on, outdoors in the sun(finally). Rims must be extra low or I put 6inches on my vert. hopefully a combination.
