191101  I now have my Own Squat Rack

2 yrs ago, i went to learn Olifting with a coach 1on1 at the park, he brought a set of Olifting barbell and plate and teach me how to lift in the park for months.
Since then.. he got banned from the park and his equipment is stuck at home.

2 weeks ago... a drunker from 2011...called me... after seeing my Commercial on Train Station.  He had not called me for at least 2 to 3 yrs.  I responded... Yo man.. u called the wrong number by mistake...  and he said... NO man.. i am looking for you ...

His told me he got injured his back and had stopped jumping for many yrs.. now he added like 40 lbs on himself.... He saw my Commercial.. and... he want to train again..
It just happen he now live very close to my office... for 1 months....

And...at the same time... I ... took like 2 months off.. due to busy office work.

Seems like.. this is the right time, the right moment with everything aligned.   I had always wanted to set up a gym in my office. and the o-li coach had told me many time.. he would like to put his plate in my office...  But i never took the time to set things up...   With that retired dunker contacting me.  With those Plate and barbell around the corner...

now is the time to kick start things again.
My Gym pass in public Gym expire in 2020 July.
I don think I need to renew any more.

i now have Rack, IWF barbell, bench (flat only), and over 200kg of plates.  with 4 low rims....all under 10 foot....DUnk or DIE?

and i am near 40 yrs old.

190719 Another week gone with extreme heat
No lifting
no jump
no plyometric

This whole week, temperature is ultra hot.
Work is busy. weekend is stuck with family travel.

and knee is still crunchy and not fresh... i am guessing damage is not going to heal... or might take long time..
just sore and crunchy waffle sound like this:

may be i should continue to only hi pull/ hang clean/ deadlift and med ball throw.... with some chair jump at most....
No more rim jumping attempt...


this remind me of that graduation song from the 90s
"be kind to your knee, you will miss them when they are gone"

how high is rim 3 again?

2.960m with laser measurement.

The ( rusty ) official forum vertec eye says 36''-37'' ( 89'' reach , 8''-9'' above rim , 117'' rim ).

Thanks Vag...

Is Monday today, the weekend was busy and i missed my once a week Squat session.
Last Jump session with that PR jump at rim 4.... is stuck in my mind.

I mean.. with my whole wrist over Rim 4.... this mean.. I could very possible.. able to dunk on that rim 4... provided everything is right.

But the fact is, I had never landed a dunk on rim 3.   IF i could Land one on 4... I should Clearly land one at 3...

and If all 4 rims is conquered at this Low rim Court...

This would also mean.... and official 10' rim is very possible.

I am born in 1980... clock is ticking, knee is making noise....

Impossible.... vs I'm Possible...

My mind is playing games...

190605 Suddenly...out of no where.   a good jump
Last week was raining all week long.
This week is all hot and sunny.. a little too hot to be exact.
I had been jumping EVERYday.... today is Wednesday, and is my 3rd session.

I just happen to be fasting also. so i have not eaten for about 26hrs.

with only 40 min today... I continue my 2 steps jump practice follow by full run up approach.

Honestly with 1 week off, I feel nothing sharp in the beginning of the week, 2 days ago.
But today I felt a little springy. My first few full run up felt good.  And this happened....


AT Rim 4 (the highest among all 4)
I believe this should well be the highest jump since the start of 2019...

pause before lift off, and his loading shoes pretty much deform like.... rubber.

like...he is standing on the side of his shoes....

talk about.. FORCE he generated....

If i am not mistaken.. the first loading foot load and jump, the 2nd foot is the STOPPing and redirecting force from hori to vertical ....

with that said... his first loading foot is already... Turned and sort of stopping already...

anyway.. over analysis again.. but his deformed shoes really got my attention.
