Article & Video Discussion / Isaiah Rivera, pro dunkers, lifting weights
« on: September 24, 2019, 10:03:32 pm »
It's pretty unusual to see a pro dunker that actually help build his hops from the start with weights.
Most cruise on by genetics and might lift later on for extras, and usually not that heavy.
Although Jonathon Clark is pretty strong as well, and some of the Russian guys are big on weights

He actually mentions this forum in the first video  ;D
It's good to see he got a solid foundation getting into Starting Strength right from the start, instead of the usual bro routines people tend to do.
Although squatting in BBall shoes ain't the best...

he weighs 175lbs

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Reboot - get lean, get hops
« on: September 13, 2019, 12:50:13 am »
Have gotten extremely fat, and with the spring starting, I just had to urge to start BBalling again and get my hops back.
Goals are to get as lean as possible, leaner than I have ever been probably get down to 65kg 143lbs.

And see where my hops are at that stage, at age 48  ;D


I started things rolling 2 weeks ago already.
Leaning up already, and a few easy sessions of BBall that caused massive DOMs and aches.
Left knee was a bit achey, and right ankle impingement for the first week.
But lots of stretching, foam rolling, tissue work, mobility and activation stuff throughout the week and it's feeling a lot better


Tuesday 20th August 2019

Height - 5'8.5"
Age = 48
weighed - 103.5kg 228.2lbs
waist - 43 inches

Tanita scale = 33.5% bodyfat

First BBall session, I could nip the bottom of a 9 feet BBall backboard = 20 inch vertical jump
7'4" standing reach


Monday 26th August 2019

weighed - 104.2kg 229.7lbs
waist - 42.25 inches
hip = 45.25 inches

Started to do 20:4 Intermittent fasting - I do not eat anything all day, even when I BBall etc. Feels good, great energy so far
First meal is dinner then another meal after.
Second meal is usually just boiled potatoes for 4-5 days.
Then 1 day of maintenance calories, eating more normally, maybe 2 days, haven't decided yet, I'll play it by ear.
The potato days have really low calories, around 800-1200... and with my 2500-2600 average day, according to my Fitbit, that is a big deficit.

Using some the Potato Hack concepts :)
Really keeps you nicely full
