bagged gym tonight because my dad got sweet orioles tickets at the last minute. spent the evening right behind home plate, watching a pitchers' duel that ended in a walk-off HR in the bottom of the 11th! first time i've ever seen a walk-off in person!

sometimes, life>gym. that and genetics are why i'm not an elite athlete. but i can live with that.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee; chest/throat cold
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- depth jump @26" x 5; 23" x 5,5,5
26" too high, knee started bothering me immediately and i wasn't even recovering above the height of the box. 23" more manageable.

- jump squat 50 x 5,5

- squat 285 x 1,2,1,2,1,2

- kroc row 80 x 16L,16R
weak. done in honor of janae marie kroc.

- stretch

being sick is lame.

WEIGHT: 171 (?)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee and right toe a little bit but not too bad; runny nose but cold mostly gone
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a few
PR off one, PR tie off three and four, several in a row at 36. fuck yes. dunked soccer ball easily and cleanly. sexy.

- depth jump @24" x 5,5,5,5
trying to be better about intentionality with each rep. mixed bag. this is a challenging height, but at least no knee pain.

- jump squat 50 x 5,5

- squat 285 x 3,3,3
second set extremely strong, others a little messy. weird.

- superset x 3
-- dip x 11
-- inverted row x 15,15,14

- stretch

great. mother. fucking. workout. had intended to wake up early (~8:30) to eat and get to the gym by 10, but i had so much trouble sleeping this week that i turned my alarm off and slept until noon. ended up being a great tactic.

Getting PR jumps / clean dunks with a soccer ball in hands is awesome! Can you palm it so well that you can do a full arm swing with it in your hand? I lose a couple of inches when i have to hold the ball because of the limited armswing.
Do you have any hopes of palming a basketball? Soccer ball ain't that far off bball. If you pick one with very good traction and only use it indoors you might have a good chance of dunking it already. Or just try, even when you lay it in or back rim it or even get stuffed, my experience is that it is a huge motivation boost, makes you push with all you got to get that last inch when you realize how close you are.

the soccer ball is a little bit deflated and nice tacky surface, so i can use a full arm swing. i will never be able to palm a basketball enough to get the full arm swing. tried palming a slightly deflated one with good grip yesterday and while i can hold it steady and move it around a little, a full-force arm swing would send it flying.

Ok, makes perfect sense now. Our bball palming ability seems similar, so is our max height currently, so in my experience we are 2'' away, 1,5'' for a perfect timing attempt. If you get to 10'8''-9'' without the ball you can get to 10'7'' with the bball, ( no arm swing ), which is enough.

using the standard of "whole palm over rim" to be able to put down a well-timed lob, i am 1" away. and given that rattled-home weak sauce still counts for me as goal achieved, i think i could have done that on saturday.

Then get after it! You've got this!  You'll be surprised how motivated a close miss can make you ;)

see my signature. my buddy who's in from out of town is gonna come work out with me this weekend. he is flaky and always late, but if the gym is open on saturday the way it was today i'll try to get him down there when the court is open. and he can throw me lobs. i've tried the adarq self-lob method, it's really freaking hard and messes up my timing. much easier to get a tosser.

I'm hyped about this already! It may happen! Make sure you amp your CNS, a couple extra coffees and a redbull do the trick for me.
