real impressive on the lat pulldowns, how much you weight, bf, and how many pull ups can yo do

Thanks , im ~195lbs in the morning currently so its not that impressive.
Havent ever done wide grip pullups , allways thought its pointless since i cant pull down 1xBW, im not strong enough for them. :D

New elements i want to enter in my training:
Jump squats & depth drops ( not today , yesterday i had a dunk session and tomorrow we have a bball game ).
Core work ( allways neglecting core , it like a training lifestyle for me! LOL ).
More cardio ( gotta get leaner , bulking added pretty much fat on me ).

Vertical testing & 9'10'' dunk session

Weight at session : 197lbs
6hrs before session i drunk ~500ml wine  :-\
Tried to get over alcohol with 3 coffees & 1 redbull. :D

Dunks : Got plenty of good 2handers, even hanging after dunking , first time i do that at this height!

VJ : Got ~27,5'' SVJ ( equals PR ) , ~31,5'' RVJ ( 0,5'' below PR )

Very weird : dropstep was at ~31'' ,2 steps VJ was 31,5'' , running VJ was barely 31''.
Probably its high bodyfat% that screws my RVJ?
Who cares , i allways felt better with dropsteps! :D

how can u do so many glute ham raises???

there isnt a GHR machine in my gym, so i improvised by putting my knees on one of those bouncy half dome things to cushion them, then hooking my ankles under whatever i could find.

cant even do a proper all the way to the floor one!!  :'(

Well its not like im doing them perfect , lowering slow untill my nose touches the floor.
I am lowering with as much control as i can and when im about to colapse i use my hands!
I wouldnt say 3x12 are that many, but they are pretty challenging for me.

Heres Kelly Baggett's description for them ( covers your case where no machine is available ):

Natural glute-ham raise- Kneel down and lock your feet under something solid and
heavy (a partner can do just fine, but he must be able to hold you down). The trunk is
upright and the arms are alongside the body. Find a pad or something to rest your knees
on. A towel will work just fine for most. Without rounding your back Lower yourself
towards the ground as slowly as possible. To do so you must produce a powerful
hamstring contraction or else you'll find yourself embedded in the floor! If you're able to
bring yourself back up on your own, do so, but most guys will need a little push-off with
the arms to get moving.

Vertical jump testing:
Bodyweight at session : 195lbs

Dynamic warmup 5'
2x5 SVJ : average ~26'', best was ~26,5'' ( 1'' bellow PR )
2x5 RVJ : average ~31'', best was ~31,5'' ( 0,5'' below PR )
~20 dunk attempts at 9'10'' : couldnt palm the ball, probably due to cold. Got a few soft 2-handers.

Whole session went great , i expected a lot worse as my glutes were still very sore from BSS and it was very cold too.

5' Dynamic warmup.
1x6 18'' depth jumps.
5x5 max effort RVJs.

I have good and bad news.
I remeasured the rim that i have recorded all my jumps and dunks and its not 9'11,5'' but 9'10''.

BAD NEWS 1 : That cancels my 33,5'' RVJ PR recorded in June, it was ~32''.
BAD NEWS 2 : That cancels my "10' dunker" title.  :(  :'(  :(  :'(  :(  :'(

GOOD NEWS : Again today i had many 32'' RVJs both on that 9'10'' and on a legit 10' rim.
So on all last sessions im steady at my PR levels being 195+lbs.

Thats all...  :-\
