Up at my parents' watching the dogs cause family is out of town. Took advantage by going over to the middle school to dunk on their sub-10-feet baskets. Unforunately, the only ball in the whole house that isn't a tennis ball is...a softball. So I had to use that. Still, felt nice to actually put something through a basket for once, instead of trying just to get a knuckle above the rim. Not sure of the height but I'll go back and measure at some point. Got some video, too, which I'll upload when I get back to my house.
warm up
medium-speed down-and-backs on the basketball court
mobility drills, leg swings, etc.
15y sprints x2 @80-85%
work
1-step jumps x8-10 -- some with ball some without
full run-up jumps x8-10 -- same
cool down
stretch
Again, not sure how high I was getting but the video plus a measuring tape will help with that. Felt nice. Full run-ups were good, I was actually starting gradually and then accelerating into the plant somewhat. Need to focus on getting low cause I'm damn sure not reactive enough to jump high otherwise.
