315-365-405 +20 thought about just doing the squats to really freshen myself. too late. DB shoulder press feeling very strong. the 80 is not as tiring anymore. will go back to 20-30 rep dips soon.

- i could tell from doing the chins that my lowerback has some tightness from all the seated shoulder DB press that i've been doing. i needed a morning 315 singles just to get my form ironed out. i had no way of lifting the 365-405 smoothly in the morning.
- will skip the DB shoulder press for now and do BW dips x20-30 for my upperbody push. 80lb DB press can wait till i get the tightness out.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Shoulder mass builder - neutral grip seated DB press

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LED1bhzkfLU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LED1bhzkfLU</a>

- not just an alternative exercise because you already have a shoulder injury

- easier on the joints.. good. do more weight, do more reps. rest shorter.. etc.

- the big compounds already tax the lower back. no need to take it easy on shoulder work because the standing DB press uses a lot of lower back too. seated ftw

- been doing 20s everyday on most strong days for months now.  not a single shoulder joint tightness.

- forget the BD press.. if you can DB shoulder press it.. you'd most likely be able to DB press it too. not the other way around.

palm to the rim.. not bad  :headbang:

drop another 6-8 lbs to peak the jump while being as strong/explosive and ud get another +1-2".. do that for up to two weeks.. any longer and the weight loss will get you weaker.

do your jumps in wood floors if you can before your knees eventually tell you to that its enough.

True he trains hard. But, if you want to look athletic out there...you need skills. I can take a monster NFL WR who runs 4.4 40s and jumps 40 inches at 6'4 220lbs and he'll look helpless in a basketball court because even though hes a beast of an athlete it wont translate into this game. Basketball is predominantly a skill based sport, being a beast athlete will only help if you have the basic fundamental skill set to showcase that athleticism.

that works but takes so much time (which really is the fun part IMO)..

if you want to look the part for BBall without doing the needed endless skill work:

- build monster calves, forearms, shoulders and back using compound movements.

- forget about traps, chest.

you will still suck at Bball offensively, but being very strong really helps with rebounding / boxouts. i play like rodman on the court. i may not match skilled players defensively too but i will wear people down until they don't bother fighting for spots anymore.  ;D

* BW depleted to 202-206 after 3 weeks of vacationing. i was eating big meals but got caloric deficit from too much activities and lack of over-sleeps. my SF routine is work-eat-sleep-lift-sleep... and sleep some more.

* i'll slowly get back to my boring routine. i still want to take a shot at a paused 495.

* my seated dumbell shoulder press is at 70lb 8-6-6 reps now. not everything is weak.

* added dumbell rows for my upperbody pulling during my vacation. there is not enough weight to use for the cable rows. used 100-110lbs DBs. used the lowerdumbell rack as bracing with the non-pulling hand. did my 100lb cable rows today for the first time in almost 4 weeks. it felt light coming from 110lb DBs. grip gave up on 16th rep.

when was the last day in a row you *didn't* squat 400+?

last week friday was the last 405. sat-sun-mon-tue are all 365s.

dont want to think about that. too depressing. :(

on paper, i also lost my consecutive days because i left San Francisco friday midnight and got here to asia sunday morning after a 16hr trip.. still got an easy 365 but it did not feel heavy enough even at 80%RM.
