40x40

New log time. Been contemplating this for a bit. Fresh start and all. Really though I've been faffing about for a while now and think a new log without the clutter of the previous one will help me focus. One main goal for this log is to have a recorded 40" vert by my 40th birthday which is in roughly 349 days. My most recently recorded vert test was 32" in mid April this year off the back of maybe 4 weeks of consistent training. Weighing in at 90-91 at the time. I'm not sure I can add 8" in 12 months but I can certainly try. All training will be focused on this one goal.

The following is a checklist of items I think I need to tick off in order to reach the goal:
- bw of 85kgs- I have at least 6-7kgs of fat I can lose. Want to be no more than 8%.
- consistent jumping practice- practice that skill
- Loose calves, quads and hip flexors- these have been tight for years. Like decades.
- Have elite core strength- this is the one area I've never trained. I've had decent squatting and deadlifting strength. Never had good or decent core/hip flexor strength. This could be a huge missing link for me.

Plantar Fascia and Tibialis Stretch- 2 mins each

Reverse Sled Drag- 3 x 120m
Poliquin Step Up- bar x 20, 30 x 20, 45 x 20
J Curl- 16 x 5, 20 x 5, 25 x 5

Tibialis raise- 2 x 20
Hanging leg raise- knees bent on way up, straight on way down- 2 x 10

Incline DB Press- 12.5s x 10, 15s x 10
Face Pull- 40lbs x 10, 50lbs x 10

Ball game was ok. We lost by 6 but we were down by 15 after 5 minutes. Basically asleep at the wheel for the start of the game. I played ok. Still getting over the back issue from a couple of weeks back. Feeling good in game but missing a step of pace and some height from my vert.

Stretching- Couch and pigeon stretches.

Awesome goal mate. I actually think you have a good chance of getting it if you have some clear air to train hard.

Thanks mate. Yeah me too. I think there's a lot of stones I've left unturned in the past.

5am training
bw - ? batteries flat in scales (may not be a bad thing for a bit)- down a bit based on the mirror eye test.

Calf Stretch- 2 mins per side

Heavy Sled- 3 x 20m
Split Squat (front foot elevated 2")- bw x 10, +12 x 10, +16 x 10
Seated GM- +10 x 10, 20 x 10, 30 x 10

SL Calf Raise- +10 x 10, 20 x 10
Low cable pull in (cable attached to feet lying down)- 40lbs x 10, 10

Full Rom Dips- bw x 4, 4
DB Ext Rotation- 5kg x 10, 10

Stretches x 2min each
90:90, butterfly, seated pancake

I'm taking things slowly. Had some right knee pain so elevated the split squats. Pain completely gone on 3rd set which was great. Time to build these back up. Seated GM isn't great at the moment so may switch these up for something that doesn't aggravate my back. Maybe DB horse squats, idk. All in all a good training sesh.

Had a rough long weekend. Great to spend time with the family. Was crook with a virus though and then Sunday night tweaked my neck. Been pulling a Zoolander for the last couple of days. Can't turn left. Focus this week will be on getting that sorted without worrying about any kind of training.

Goals for next 3 weeks till end of FY-
Lose 3kgs- I'm off alcohol and sugar again so this part should be easy
Get knees and ankles back to feeling good- no alcohol, stretching everyday, floss bands on ankles and knees daily.
Get to bed by 10pm.

nice to the no-alcohol part.

no sugar meaning like, no fruit or no junk?

not a fan of the no-sugar from fruit etc, but sugar too often is def a problem. going like 6+ hours between sugar ingests seems ok in my experience. if i ingest it every few hours, it def wrecks my endurance eventually. need to space it out more, otherwise my body starts to demand it too much & I feel more weak.

Should clarify. No sugar from junk. That's my biggest weakness. Every time I've gone off sugar I have felt amazing. Legit amazing. Feel like I'm in a brand new body. I will still have fruit for sure.

Ball game. Only had 4 players SMH. Only lost by 4 in the end and had a pretty decent game. 13 points. Lots of rebounds. 2 blocks. One where I sent the ball back over his head and out over the sideline on the full from under the rim lol. Other team had some solid players too. One reminded me of a younger version of myself except he could shoot the 3 ball. He also dunked on a fast break. Baby dunk but a dunk all the same. I got to actively work on my game too. Took a couple of outside shots, worked a couple of nice post moves, threw a Euro step in on a fast break. All stuff I normally would struggle to do. Still too heavy/unfit to dunk but getting there.

Ball game last night was alright. Got there 5 mins late due to work so no warm up and straight into it. Stadium was colder inside than outside which was rough given it was only about 7 degrees outside. Played ok though. Reffing was shit as usual but we got some nice plays in. Working on a high pick and roll which the other team never seems to know how to defend. Body felt ok. Not great but not bad either.

Stretching today and will train again tomorrow morning.
