^ the 3-step dunks ive done before on vid shows that i don't drop as low compared to my SVJ dunks. i find it easier to jump higher doing SVJs.

Recovery Workout
- Cycling 1.5 hrs.

* did some road biking to get blood recirculating nicely for recovery and some cardio too. did high cadence and low resistance. i have a cervelo sub 20lb road bike which makes the leisure cycling a lot easier.
* ive been doing 1.5-2.5 hr of cycling for almost a month now mostly every sunday afternoon. felt like logging it today to show that as long as you don't overdo it, some light cardio will not hurt your explosiveness. resting heart rate still at high 40s. 46-48. BP 95/60. my blood pressure has always been in the low side. as long as i feel health, doctor said it shouldn't be a problem.
* i add some short bike sprints when i know that im almost done. top gear, sprinting out of the saddle - i can get stupidly fast. BW after cycling - 176lb. time for cheese.

* was not expecting to still get paused 405x1 this easy after doing the same thing last monday. this is repeatable 2.3BW Paused Squat at 176lb. i never thought id get this lean and still maintain my strength. the vein in my lower abs is now as big as the big vein in my biceps. BF caliper still in the 6-8.4% range. im probably in the lower end of that now. cycling is doing its thing for body composition. i would get a paused 425 also today if i pushed for it (and vid the thing.. thats a 2.4BW paused squat).. but im more concerned with recovery and speed work at this time.
* did the paused ballistic full squats for explosive strength and force absorption in the full squat position. i will vid it at some point, but IMO, i was dropping so fast with the 225, it felt like i could be doing it faster than with an empty bar. now i know that hamstring do get some work at the full squat depth. i felt my hams tighten a bit - nothing serious. i just felt it was being used.
* i chose the ballistic full squats with pause for power training while my heavy lifts are on maintenance because my knee bend on my best SVJs resemble an almost full squat. the supra max partials did a very good job in traning me to handle very heavy weights. im surpised that i was dropping down with 275s and still maintain my form.
* glutes and quads take most of the force of a dropping 225. decided to move up a bit with 60%RM - 275. speed of landing was still there. the 345 (75%) is not yet very heavy, but its either that or 365 (80%) for max force training. i will eventually add reps (probably 4-6max) but as with any new thing, im giving myself some time to adapt first so i dont break anything.
* will do a jump test this afternoon with my vertec. see if 2 skippped heavy workouts already gave my jump some improvement.
* if it matters, im taking a lot more creatine now. got the watermelon flavored micronized from bb.com and its a lot better than the unflavored sand.

* will do another squat workout tomorrow but add supra max singles of half squats. those half squats really got my SVJ peaking well. SVJ 2-hand dunks with bball is getting consistent now, even after a squat workout - as long as i get a pickup game warmrup.
* i also did 4 days this week of 405x1 paused. il add full squat volume workouts at one point to pack more leg mass and get my repeatable paused rep max to 425-440.

* plan was to go supra max half squats but changed my mind after the paused reps felt so easy. did not want to accumulate fatigue too soon. im only out of supra max for just 1 week. id take another week and do more speed.
* the 425x1 paused - id say is about 75% paused since for some reason, my legs found a way to do a pre-bounce before the concentric. im sure i did not do a the same bounce on the other times i did a 425x1. it felt so easy, the torso did not even leak anything. did a 440x1 without the pause and the concentric felt the same way too. lower+mid back is strong. this is at a BW of 178 at the gym, 176 empty. if my lift ratios are the same, i should be able to do multi sets of 425x4, and a rep max of 475 (2.7BW) - judging by how i was able to repeatedly pause rep 425x1 (2.4BW). 475x1 on vid will be awesome.. id test for a rep max after i do volume sets of full squats with 405x6 or 425x4.
* the ballistic landings from the 275 felt good. concentric on 275 is really starting to feel easy. did some light jump squats too and some SVJs afterwards. i did not get a good warmup from a pick up game.. dunk with a smaller ball is max for today.

why'd you edit out the 30 second stand-with-the-bar-and-get-ready part? that's the best part!

* i was 176 even this morning again. cycling really getting rid of some weight. the high cadence is really doing great for my recovery. i was suprised how easy 405 felt again, same for the 425x1. im pause repping 2.4BW 3x a week. 425 is a calculated 89%RM (based on 475) so it shouldn't really be burning me out.
* did some light ballistic full squats and some jump squats before a pickup game. was able to SVJ 2-hand dunks cleanly. wed is a mid week workout and i plan it not to be too hard.

* BW consistent now at 176 in the morning. this is the 3rd time this week that i hit 425x1 paused. got it on vid but currently at work so il upload later. the 425x1 today was a littler harder than last wednesday but it was still not that heavy. could get 440/445 even at this level of strong.
* did some light ballistic full squats with 345/275 again. i like the hamstring effect of a dropping 275. it gets it somewhat tight the following day. when my hamstrings are "locked".. it makes it easier for me to acheive full squat depth because IMO, bigger hamstrings to sit on is less depth on my full squat, or it could be that my hamstrings are also getting stronger.
* played 2 pickup games, and did some SVJ dunks. i really thought about adding high volume full squat workouts now coupled with singles of supra max half squats.. but im beginning to like getting stronger without having to go thru the fatigue from the 6-8 reps.
* will upload another paused rep 425x1 with a different cam angle and some more repetitive SVJ 2-hand dunks tmrw morning.

Jumps
- SVJ 2-hand dunk attempts (no-dunk)

* im always weakest on my heavy lifts on a sunday. its a workout so i dont de-train for a monday. and im usually strongest the following monday. really planned to stop the paused wamrups at 385. did the 405x1 non-paused and it did not get up as fast as i usually do it. i would still make a paused 405x1 but it will take a lot of effort and would probably add too much fatigue.. 425x1 today is most likely not possible. fatigue and my wed-sat night shift work takes it toll. i will build up good sleep and recovery this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow morning/afternoon. sleep, eat, and more sleep and just relax.
* did some jump squats and some jump drills. skipped the pick up game today and SVJ dunks were short. i would still have made some good dunks if i had at least a game or two to break a sweat. this is usually my jump height cold. needed 2-3" more to push the ball down.

* BW in the morning was 174. the cycling i did sunday afternoon was probably not a good idea, or the dinner that followed was not enough. i stopped my paused warmup full squats at 275x1 and did singles all the way to 425x1. i thought 445x1 would be easy as i've done 440x1 last week and it didn't look as hard as is today. i got pinned nicely by 465. i was a lot stronger last week monday than today. i would have gotten a paused 425x1 because the regular 425x1 i did today was still explosive.
* did the ballistic full squats again with some jump squats reps. no pick up game. did SVJ dunks and did not even release the ball. needed 2" to push it down. still good for jump drills.
* will try to maintain 174lb and not dip any lower. ok to overshoot up to 176-178 but definitely no low 170s for me. i feel so thin already.

* since i really felt bad that i wasted my RM workout by not eating well IMO, i ate some good dinner, watch 2 DVDs and returned to the gym at 5AM. no sleep in between. i woke up at 3pm monday afternoon and never really slept yet. this is a usual routine for me if im at work.
* i felt some soreness on my lowerback but was still strong enough to get up to 405x1 paused without much problem. i would have gotten 425x1 also but will keep top warmup paused squats to 405 for a few workouts and go for another RM attempt next monday. 445x1 max after repeatable 425x1 paused is unacceptable.
* there was an early tue pick up game and i was able to play 1. did 8 straight 2-hand SVJ dunks with just a few seconds in between to set myself. that is one of my good jump drill workouts.

* did some explosive work with jump squats. all were at least 1/2" deep or deeper. did all the way to 225s and i was still able to get good form with the 50%RM weight. i was emphasizing pushing the ground with my forefoot at takeoff and landing in pretty much the same way - plantar flexed, then absorb and dissipate landing force to knees - dropping knees quickly to a deep bend and then quickly stiffening so i dont drop all the way to the bottom. landings were smooth and force from the landing was quickly transfered from the forefoot/ankles to the knees.. little landing force remains after the quick need bends.. lowerback was upright and solid.
* will build volume of the jump squats and do some form of waveloading again - while maintaining the full squats.
* did some light SLDLs to get lowerback some volume work. will add weight as long as its not too heavy. i will build my spinal erectors this way.. adding weight to the seated cable rows gets my arms bigger - stopped with those and moved to SLDLs instead. dont like big arms.
