Thanks guys. Like I said, not someone I was really tight with but I'd known him since we were 5. Did get back in the gym tonight but it was a weird workout.

BW = ???
SORENESS = low back (possibly from long bus ride yesterday)
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low
DIET = good

session 3 : power

- warmup

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up
2 of 'em

- jumps : 3 step
weird, got off to a good start with some strong (for me) submax jumps. but then i started thinking too much and almost all of the ~20 jumps i took after that sucked. some really badly. one 31" jump.

-  MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing
felt kind of shitty and slow

- Pogos: 4 x 20 submax
also felt slow and unreactive

- REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%)
125,125,125,125 == felt okay

- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 6 (~80%)
255,255 == had good bar speed for most reps

- C1: jump squat : 2 x 2 (30%)
95,95

- C1-stuff: 2 rotations (so 2 sets of msem squat, 4 sets of jump squats)

- lunge : 3 x 3
150,150,150 == felt very strong, good ROM, bumping weight to 160 next time

- core x 3
chin up x 8,8,8
leg lower x 15,15,15
push up x 15,15,15
crunch x 33,33,34

- stretch

I don't think I warmed up enough but I get paranoid at the gym that if I take too long to warm up, people are gonna take over the court. Dumb, but there it is. Stretched again just now. Got shit to do on Wednesday so I'm actually gonna try to get the sprint/RVJ session in tomorrow.

i think 1RM estimates are notoriously idiosyncratic and unreliable. i remember a vid of some kid doing something insane with sumo DL, like 600 x 22, but he said his 1RM was 660.

friday night drove up to nyc to see my cousin's play. chilled with my brother up there on saturday night then came home sunday ready for jumping. then i found out that my friend from elementary and high school was shot and killed yesterday morning. no one really knows why or what happened yet. he wasn't a close friend or anything but it's still shocking and motivation to train kind of plummeted after that. gonna get back in the gym today, though.

+1 for dog speed training. my dogs will chase me, no questions asked, if i start running. so taking them to the park and just running around randomly, juking them out, whatever, gets them all happy and excited and is a good/fun workout.

BW = ???
SORENESS = cruuuuucial soreness in glutes and adductors
ACHES/INJURIES = left big toe, mid back (?)
FATIGUE = low
DIET = good

session 2 : power

- warmup

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up

- jumps : 2 step & vert
pretty low but got better as i went. jumped at a new hoop, outside on asphalt. slippery but at least no one was around. it helps to look at the point where i want my last step to start.

- MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing
mid-back tweaking like a mother, only did 2 sets

- Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT 4 x 20 submax
continuing to go submax until i'm less shitty at these

- REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%)
125,125,125,125

- MSEM squat: 2 x 4 (~90%)
285,285

- BSS : 3 x 3
150,150,150 == ouch

^^^ wrong thread.

yeah i'm with you on this one. heavy/supramax eccentrics make no sense unless you're rehabbing from tendinosis. then there's some evidence that they can be a big help. but i don't think supramax squats are worth it. seems like fanciness for the sake of it, when you should just be doing normal squats.

While it's impossible to know how many students disobey BYU's honor code, which prohibits fornication and alcohol use, among other things, the honor code violations that come to light almost always involve student-athletes. And they almost always involve athletes of color. Since 1993, according to our research, at least 70 athletes have been suspended, dismissed, put on probation, or forced to withdraw from their teams or the school after running afoul of the honor code. Fifty-four of them, or nearly 80 percent, are minorities. Forty-one, or almost 60 percent, are black men.

correlation does not equal causation brother it's as simple as that

What I like about this is that they didn't really "let him" get his baskets, he really put work on that. You can clearly see he has the skill.

makes some nice passes, too.

He could dunk on other presidents. That would be cool. But Putin would put him down in Judo. He ain't a president though.

PM is like half of a president, so that counts.
