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.

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?

Played basketball tonight, ankle felt great. major progress on recovery. I'm not in great cardio shape and my calves start to lock up after the 7th or 8th game. started to clean up my diet on monday, as my weight has been going up.

Back on the basketball court tonight, ankle is far from 100% but held up well with no new injuries. finger tips over rim on a few jumps for 30.5" rvj. no PR's but on the right path.

go get it son

everyone here is at a different level in the journey. personal progress is what we are all after.

The online training log has helped me. I also have kept a personal log for years, but with the online log being open for the world to see what a unmotivated nancy I am gives me just a bit more motivation. I usually need it.
