well it wasn't quite at my wrist, or like at the seam between wrist and palm. it was a PR-tying jump, i think. but i've still never been able to fold my hand over the rim if that makes sense.

Well yes, wrist at rim would be 10'8'' , 33'' for me 38'' for you. Base of palm is 1'' higher so 37'' for you.
Also the hand folding thing makes perfect sense, but i think it takes 1 inch below wrist to do that. When you can reach exactly wrist at rim you can 'semi-fold', like 45 degrees.
Anyway, bullshit details,  keep it up!  :highfive:

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

WEIGHT: ??
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, head but milder than yesterday
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a few
one size 3 ball dunk, which may be the first time i've been able to do that two days in a row. or at least the first time i've done it two days in a row. that's a PR. first couple of jumps felt good but the dropoff was precipitous.

- squat 225 x 6,6
easy-peasy, no back discomfort at all.

- superset x 2
-- RDL 275 x 10
used straps. this was challenging. good.
-- toes to bar x 6
that's as long as i can go while still protecting the left shoulder. still pleased that i could do them at all.

- stretch

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: glutes, hams
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little, left felt weird but not painful. just a little tight maybe. went away after i got warm
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
did a bunch of full-court lay ups. fun times, these are good for conditioning. if i ever do a conditioning block i think it'd be fun to throw these in, work up to sets of 20 or something.

- bench 200 x 6,6

- pull up x 6; +10 x 5,5
first time doing weighted pull ups in a long time.

- circuit x 4
-- push up x 12
-- inverted row x 12
-- decline sit up +15 x 10

- stretch

i like that high-volume stuff. feels good, challenging without pushing my shoulder or low back in unsafe ways.

thanksgiving was great, lots of family time. bout to go watch the washington john walls take on the new orleans anthony davises. got caught up with gf's family today and didn't have time for a full workout but did make it to the gym for:

- shooting around, dribbling practice, and full-court layups x 40 minutes

shoulder was hurting and bounce was not great so didn't do more than a couple of ME DL jumps, none from four steps.

have been working out pretty much randomly since i got back from my trip 3+ weeks ago. i've had a few good jumping days in that time but i'm not doing anything structured and that worries me. also i don't feel like i'm overloading at all, which as we all know is necessary for actual progress. the holidays are coming up in a few weeks. i have it in mind to do as much of flying in four (EDIT: plus upper body shit that will continue to be de-emphasized) as i can between now and when i leave for christmas family time, use those ~4 days as the adaptation period, and do the final workout or two as basically priming days for testing just before new year's. time for a big push.

starting tonight. gonna do the intermediate version because i can't claim a 2x bw squat right now. but i'll keep adding weight pretty aggressively (10-20 lbs/workout) on squats until i can't anymore.

also, just an observation: my best jumping comes after a leg workout (jumps or depth jumps, squats, and RDLs) plus an extra day of rest (~72 hours instead of ~48). occasionally, those rest days include something like moderate-intensity tennis.
