Are you trying to put on size now?  Seems like you're eating way more than you were before.

nah just hungrier from the lifting & longer runs, i think.

i mean i guess i'd like to put a bit more meat on my legs/hips to give me more potential for power, but i definitely don't want to get 'heavy'. I'd like to get as lean/big as I was when I dunked, which is weird when you think about it.. I was leaner (~145 lb. @ ~8% body fat with bigger legs, and just more muscle in general).. vs now (~150 lb. @ ~12% body fat).

I think all of the lifting I did back then definitely helped me shed that extra layer of fat.. and also made my legs bigger (obviously  ).

I don't really think i'm eating much more than I was, but i'm definitely drinking more milk. I just need it.. when I drink it, I can feel it immediately making me feel better. I've also stepped up the banana intake again lately.

So ya, i'm actually trying to get leaner and eventually lighter by getting back into weights & incorporating longer runs.

I need to get back on this level:





towards the end of my 'dunking career', I was basically that lean or leaner, and my legs were enormous (relatively). lol. definitely much bigger than they are now.

Towards the end, consistent ~145 lb, 315 lb. x 5 no warmup (stupid) half squat off pins:

and man people hate this video, but i love it.. moving 225 lb. around like it's a feather.. even tho it's off pins/not full depth, idgaf.. was jumping out the jump during those days.. legs felt bionic - and they were so thick.

Honestly I should be near that strong again even in this running game.. Need to be on another level.

It took me a long time to figure out I needed to focus hard on high rep heavy lifting back then ... so now I know that already, saves me alot of time.. Though this time, I don't want to go AS HEAVY (at least for now). I'd like to stay away from anything <= 10 RM, i'd like to just keep pushing the crazy volume and get stronger via light weight + crazy high reps.

pc!!

Have done two workouts since the last post.

Workout 1-
Squat-
Worked up to 5 reps at 100
First time squatting in 5 weeks and it was pretty good. 100 felt fairly easy. RPE of 5-6 or so. No belt but used knee sleeves.

Workout 2-
Incline Bench- 60 x 6, 55 x 8, 50 x 10
Ring Chins- +10 x 3, 3, +15 x 3

good to see the squats felt good. can't believe it's been 5 weeks, fuq.

Am going to change the way I log from here on. Will be much less frequently and cover mainly the big stuff or things that have been important/successful in my programming.  Will likely do a weekly update with any highlights/PRs or shit I'm doing differently.

cool

hahahahahaha!@#@$ wrecked. looks legit.

partner assisted high jumper exercise at the end is kewl

So my legs aren't that sore right now (edit: well adductors are)..... doing a leg drain, it's not "painful" at all. I don't really feel anything - normally I do.

When my legs are very sore, my thighs/feet pulsate/throb when i'm doing the drain.



just posting some misc info.

damn, Kimeto ran the olympic marathon world record in them? didn't know that.
