3/22/11 BW=171.6

Caught food poisoning or a virus last week and it out me down for a week, perfect time for a deload anyway. Played 2 hours of basketball tonight and am feeling 100% better. Ready to hit some PR's in the short-term.

You calves are probably a restrictive factor. Having sore calves after basketball means one or two things: either not strong enough or extra tightness. Either way you should implement Unilateral Calf-Raises going for a full deep stretch (maybe holding it down for ISOs, which I prefer) after your workouts in addition to the reactive stuff you do beforehand to keep things on an even keel.

Peace.


true words. not stiff tho, too weak. calves are def not on par with my upper legs, and needs to be a bigger focus.
1 leg calf raises are going back into the rotation, thanks for the input.

I feel like I can't stabilize and explode out of a plant with much speed...... Yet

2 hour Basketball cardio night. got my butt kicked but stayed injury free to fight another night.

I thought this was going to be a wasted work out as I was a little beat and my calves are still in pain from tuesday b-ball. I actually felt stronger then I have in the last few weeks, go figure?

I am going to transition from 24" depth jumps to 30" depth drops and see how that goes.

3/8/11 Tuesday BW=175.0

full court b-ball cardio night, ran for about 2 hours total. all the ME jumps I got in were about 30"s. (off carpet)
feels like it kills my spring+ my calfs are sore after playing on it. luckly my ankles are strong.
I would like to get some fresh jumps in on hardwood and see where I am at.

Divad's advice is good but I personally would substitute pin squat for box squat, but that's preference (and a little bit more but not set in stone).

True dat. The man has got it!  :D   Really pin squats would definately be better as depth will AlWAYS be identical. I might try these myself.

Pce

Thanks for the advice guys, pins are probably the way yo go as I can not find the appropriate height box. moved the pins up to 4 tonight, which stops me from going super extra deep and it felt good.

The most important thing, is yeah, go deep, but mainly STOP once you lose your arch. It's never helpful once your back starts to round. The Box Squat might be good to develop some more explosive power and allow you to really SIT back and stay above your critical point and progress safely. Try it out, but keep squatting regularly too, test for a while to see which one you like best, then switch to that one for a couple of weeks. In any case, resistance stays resistance.

Thanks Divad, I am thinking of adding some box squats maybe after my deeper sets. they do feel go though and probably will help my explosive power also.

Full court b-ball better then 2 hours straight. we couldn't lose tonight! so good for my cardio.

I really am seeing good results from the low amount of plos I do before every w/o. I have a bit more bounce in p/u games, + getting blocks and put backs like I am a younger man.

nice man!

yup that's why people should do reactive work before lifting.. it keeps that constant stimulus in to "be more springlike (reactive)" and it helps potentiate (stimulate) heavy/explosive lifts.. there's absolutely no reason why we shouldnt include reactive work before pretty much every lifting session (unless it's back to back days then you could make a case..)

box squat(around parallel) 3x8x225

Hoping to make more progress this month but after being sick I am getting my butt kicked. today was especially bad.
Tried box squating after really never doing it and it felt good. I originally learned to squat all the way down and now anything less feels weird. Not sure if I should keep going deep or start box squatting and see how it goes?

nice jump at the end man..

definitely need to keep getting stronger and keep improving body comp, that'll result in more speed into that runup/more power/^ more efficient plants.. keep up the good work mang

Thanks I knew there was a trick to it.

I just need less weight while increasing strength/speed/movement efficency. ;)

Just one tip that might or might not be helpful for you: when you go for a 2-hander off two feet, practice ''throwing'' the ball upwards (keep a hold of it) to give you some more momentum (a wide in football gave me that tip, could even use a Med. Ball heck).

So if i were you i would put that to the test on 9' rim and then increasing heights as your pattern gets better but i think it should help you get more power after you plant, especially since it looks fine to begin with.

Thanks for the tip, I will give it a try!
