Thanks man! Im a pretty stubborn/motivated individual so its not too bad to lift and hoop, I just stay focused on my goals.

I wasn't doing any leg work last year so Im not sure how my body will respond this year, I play 37-38mins out of a 40  minute game usually so it will be interesting. My tentative plan is to lift Saturday mornings heavy (well at least maintain my current levels), games Tuesday and Thursdays. My goal is to keep.my strength and use the games to help my quickness and movement efficiency....and win. Lol

good plan. seems like your recovery is up to the game. You might even make some gains in the short term.

Mon Feb 4th, 2013

BW at 182lbs morning/ 184lbs pre workout.

Had decent energy for the lifting session, no soreness.

Warmup:

2 hours of half court hoops. Yea, a little much lol! I was planning on playing 30-45 mins but we kept winning.  ;D Finally lost to a team with a 6'5" guy and a 6'8" guy (our tallest guy is 6'2" lol). I definitely cut back the worksets after all that though.

RDLs:
225x5 275x3; 305x3 325x1

Squats:
250x5 300x3; 340x3 385x1 (the 385 was more of a box squat, definitely not my usual depth)

depth/box jumps (series):
8 total sets

Jump squats:
5x2 (60lbs)

kettlebell swing:
12x1 w/ 45lb bell.

Ham curls:
120lbs 6x2

Calf raises (500lbs):
10x2 (holds at top/bottom)

Pogos:
10x1

Ok session, but I'm wondering how sore I'll be tomorrow lol! Stretched and iced really well afterwards and we shall see.

Friday Feb 8th, 2013

Bodyweight morning: 181lbs  Pre workout: 183lbs
CNS/energy: SHITTY.
Soreness: none

Skipped hooping on Wed because APPARENTLY I sustained a mild concussion when I got elbowed in the temple during Mondays games. Didn't realize it til I woke up Tuesday dizzy, nauseous, splitting headache and sleepy as all hell. SMDH. Oh well, it seems better now.

I'm not sure why this workout sucked so bad but I have a few ideas. 1: Didn't get in the gym til 12:15 and I'd been up since 6am=tired. 2. First day of my deload and I just wasn't getting excited about lifting light weights. Just wasn't happening.  :( Anywayyyyyy....

RDLs:
225x5 225x3 235x3; 275x1x1x1

Squats:
225x5 225x5 275x3; 275x1x1x1

depth/box jumps (series):
4 total sets

Jump squats:
5x2 (60lbs)

kettlebell swing:
12x1 w/ 45lb bell.

Ham curls:
100lbs 5x3

Calf raises (500lbs):
8x3 (holds at top/bottom)

Pogos:
10x2

Tried my usual SVJ's and RVJs afterward...shit results. SVJs were 29-30". RVJs were all 37-38". Wasn't very angry with myself but I'm going to just forget it and try to be more motivated for Mondays session even though its a light weight/volume session as well.

Damn that's a lesson in perspective right there isn't it?

Yea, sorry. :/ it was just the first time in forever I hadn't got 40 on my RVJ after a workout. I was frustrated, disappointed, and just sad. Looking back I can almost say for certain it was all in my mindset and approach. I just want rec league to be here already lol! I'm going to continue the deload tomorrow but I'm already trying to pysche myself up so I don't have a repeat 'failure'.

Haha. It's all good. Just lucky I'm tall or I'd really be sad.

Nothing like a game to get you motivated. Sounds just like me.

Mon Feb 11, 2013

Bodyweight at 182lbs morning weigh in; 184lbs pre workout.
CNS/energy: good, not great but much better than Friday.
No soreness or fatigue.

Warmup: 45 mins of halfcourt hoops, stretching, tuck jumps

RDLs:
225x5 275x3; 275x1 325x1; 345x1

Squats:
225x5 275x3; 325x1 345x1; 365x1 225x5

depth/box jumps (series):
6 total sets

Jump squats:
5x2 (50lbs)

Ham curls:
120lbs 5x2

Calf raises (500lbs):

Sort of, kind of continued the deload? I wasn't happy with Fridays session so I tried keeping the reps low still but doing more weight. I felt much better but we'll see how it feels tomorrow. SVJs and RVJs at the end were much better, back to the normal (32's SVJ/40's RVJ). Still waiting for the league schedule to be posted...sigh.

bit late but i also have an idea about why the workout sucked a couple of days ago: you had a concussion.

Shit. I'd mostly forgotten about that. It would certainly explain why I had no energy/fire/whatever. I FELT fine but it very well may have still been affecting me. Thanks LBSS.

glad to help.  :lololol:

Lmfao! So it seems I did. Damn. I'd shake my head but I'm worried too bahahahahaaaaa!

In reality I just hate excuses, it gives the person way out instead of manning up IMO. I felt better...but by how I lifted yesterday I've got to agree with you.  There was probably still some lingering affects. Shrug. At least now Im not angry with that session. I should upgrade its grade to: ok for conditiins. lol

Went and shot for an hour today,  just jumpers amd half speed stuff trying to get ready for tomorrow. Decided to jump a little at the end (not really max effort stuff, 75-80% or so because I hadnt stretched). Got a few light dunks, just missed some two handers. Everything off one to two steps. Tried 2 4-5 step approaches....sucked ASS. My plant is weak and Im losing wayyyy to much momentum. I can literally feel the difference between game speed plants and this...stuff.

Any ideas on how to get quicker into/out of the plant? RL two foot plant most of the time.
