BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = head, left elbow right after the end of the workout but only for a few minutes
FATIGUE = low

- SS1: jump rope skill work
- SS1: stretching/mobility
- SS1 info: 30 minutes. alternate between skill work (crossovers, transition between double-unders and single-unders) and stretching/mobility.

- OH throw 2 x 3 x 30

weird about the elbow. it's the same discomfort i had last fall and again a few months ago from squatting, but all i did today with my arms was turn the rope and do a few band pull-aparts and dislocates. whatever, it's fine now.

some three step SLRVJ below, so you can get a sense of just how bad my SLRVJ are. interestingly, i used to be infinitely better off my right leg, but now the difference is pretty small. credit that to practicing layups over the past few months. so yes, practice improves things. (T0ddday: i'm not a basketball player so i couldn't care less about dunking in a game.)

Thought to look on youtube for how to tape an ankle. Was blown away with some of the stuff i came across. So I went to the pharmacy and came back with some new stuff, and as a result, I've taped my ankle really well for the first time, feels amazingly stable and firm, and it doesn't feel like I could hurt it by accident. Feel 100% safe and secure.

The only downside, and I was hoping it wouldn't happen, is losing much ROM that I can't squat down.  I will have to lay off squatting and do a lot of RDLs and focus on upper body. I could even join a gym for a few weeks. They will have dumbells and machines there. Should be fun. Ideas on upper body training? Would like to add a few inches to my guns and look like somone who lifts. Thinking lots of bench press, overhead press, chinups, lat pull downs, rows and curls. Perhaps 4-5 times a week.

empirical evidence for benefit from ankle taping is scanty at best.

The hardest bit is always finding an indoor court that isn't packed.

amen.

BW = ???
SORENESS = traps (?)
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up
incl 3-step SLRVJ x 8, got second set of 4 on camera but obviously it was the shittier set. also incl DSVJ.

- DLRVJ x 10
shite, just pure unadulterated shite

- jump squat 2 x 3 x 95

- squat 3 x 5 x 275

- dip 10+3+3+2 x +25

taking the day off work as a comp day for my trip. have a ton of errands to do and suchlike so i figured i'd go in the morning. jumping was awful although i think i PR'd on the SLRVJ. turns out limiting myself to a 3-step approach is good. will post compilation video later. i know i keep saying that. but DLRVJ was just awful, slow, unexplosive, barely above 30.

Well good for him. I probably wouldn't squat either in that situation. Why risk a ton by squatting, not being fresh to dunk, so on and so forth, when you can jump 40+ without that?

because squatting is the best exercise in all circumstances, for all trainees, at all times. duh.

true, true. to be fair to myself, i did not say that i was going to launch right into this program. if you look at the OP, my plan is still to ramp up carefully back to where i was, with basic jumps and squats, and then go from there. hell, i'm still gaining back the weight i lost after three weeks of um, well, diarrhea. so we are in complete agreement about what i should do right now. the question is more what's next. you've made your opinion pretty clear, which i appreciate.
