first pic from sometime back, 2nd pic was just now.
1st pic abt 65kg, 2nd abt 70.

4odd kg of what i think is mostly muscle, so the last GPP phase was quite good in some aspects.

i get more trips to the line these days too, from being able to muscle up shots to get a shot foul CALL when im attacking the rim, instead of inbound passes.

im still damn unhappy though, my numbers tho not awesome as conpared to guys/monsters like rip, rutger, flander, chris, are still pretty decent in their own right.

but they're getting jumps around 40, while im still stuck in the low to mid 30s. fuck. i couldnt care less if i squatted 80kg, if i could get up to 40 man.

i see your frustration and i'm also frustrated, but we're still in the program, not yet peaking.. we're in strength phase, trying to bump that squat/lifts up good (safely), which prepares us for those sessions consisting of singles/more power stuff etc..

the last actual ME jump session you did was on september 13th, or am i wrong? i mean, we want to get in some max jumps at least 2x/week, not just the tucks/dj's/basketball, those max jump sets are pretty important..

don't get discouraged right now mang, we're still trying to put everything together, btu those jump sessions are really important and need to be a nice amount of max effort jumps.

peace!

i think lean ness levels are at most just a hair. i see myself in the mirror in the morning as a barometer, and the last 2 bottom abs are just a hair less defined as compared to then, if i remember correctly.

but to be able to gain like 10-12 pounds of mass in 2 months is kinda amazing to me.

much thanks for the amazing programming adarq!

np man, that was definitely some great mass gain, we just have to keep getting stronger now.

Second what adarq said. 9-10%. Good work, man.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

had to modify the workout abit, right side of my body is aching like mad.
couldnt push the weights as much as i could, so tried to do abit more reps.

at the weekday league game, this black dude that looked like that rocky baddie, mowed right into me as he was driving the baseline. calf got hit the worse, limped home ytd night, hobbling around today in the gym as well haha.
shoulder got knocked hard too, sore spot somewhere at the shoulder.

glad the leg workout was done yesterday, otherwise i'd have missed it.

thanks for the compliment LBSS!  :highfive:

had 20 points or so, abt half my team's points. we were blown out really badly.
2/3 from 3, made less than 50% on jumpshots tho.

 :rant:only in the weekday team do i shoot so much. the guys were gettin on my case on how i wasnt passing. they were hustled and turned the ball over every single time they got the ball, took too long to make a decision when they received, ended up getting harried. i couldnt pass to them and watch them lose the ball every time, so i did the best i could. of course, 1 man doesnt win a game. selfish play definitely, but i tot that was the best thing to do at the time.

tried to tell them, but they wouldnt listen... damn that blows.
next game imma just pass the ball the entire game and see us get blown up by 50.

gawd, i much prefer my weekend team. fuck i regularly attempt less than 10 shots. everyone playing for everyone else, like how it should be.

ok, rant over. :rant:

thanks for the kind words dude, and for the link!
the lower bits appear better in the morning, fwiw haha...

frankly i couldnt care less if i have no abs, and could jump 40 odd inch..

adarq, when u replied i was alr in the gym doing my lower body workout, that was monday. just didnt post, work was hella busy the last 2 days. i was winging it, copying last week's work haha, when i took a break and checked my phone.

who'd hv known the timing was just nice LOL. was in the last 2 sets of my squat sets.

so i prepped myself abit for the MSEM, got 4 reps of 135, 23 for pullups, and 26 for dips.
