yeah but after hitting 36 off one with acole everything shorter feels blah.

sounds like tomorrow you should be amp'd up.. that's when it really kicks in.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 20,20

- one-step RVJ x 5

*remove vest*

- DLRVJ dunk attempts x ~15
got a buddy to throw lobs. put one through the net but kind of bobbled the ball in, doesn't quite count. close on a few others. timing is hard. kind of messed up my shoulder on the 12th or 13th jump and couldn't get up quite as high after that so called it.

- one-on-one x 20 mins
i lost, lol. blame it on the tired legs.

~~gonna play tennis with my dad in a couple hours.~~

- tennis x 60 mins
whipped my dad, 6-1 (and the 1 was mostly unforced errors). this is as it should be, i'm 35 years younger than he is. it was hot as shit, i have a headache now. similar to one i got a few weeks back after sweating like crazy in the gym earlier in the day. i was vigilant about hydration today, too.

Have you ever had or gotten close to having some sort of heat stroke/exhaustion? I was extremely close to having it at the academy just from standing in line nut to butt with everyone in a 95 degree building(Prisons aren't air conditioned). After almost passing out, if I'm in the heat doing anything for a bit I start to get a sick feeling and this is a year or so after and I still get it.

interesting question, never thought about it before. after looking at mayo clinic i'm pretty sure i haven't had anything that severe.

still, will switch to gatorade or equivalent during intense outdoor exercise and see if that makes a difference.

legs felt very tired last night and still pretty tired today. was gonna lift tonight but will rest instead.

I'm the same way. I get sunstroke or heatstroke very easily. I think some people are more susceptible than others. I mixed so I'm not super fair skinned but I have never gotten a sunburn in my life... I think part of the reason why is I get heatstroke before I burn so I can't really get enough exposure. When I was in Puerto Rico we were on the beach for hours and it was really hot and sunny -I figured this was gonna be my first sunburn experience but instead I got really dizzy and disoriented after a few hours and had to go lie down in the shade and pour cold water on my face...

It's pretty scary but now I know the signs and can avoid getting to that level but I don't think sunburns are in the cards either way...

I got some form of heatstroke once (no idea what it really was).. I remember it pretty clear. It was in ~2003 or so, was playing basketball outside during a hot summer day (sunday). After a few games I sat down against the fence and then something hit me, started getting really dizzy & weak.. could barely get up. I was so thirsty but the water fountain was broken. A few dudes went to a vending machine and got me a few sprites. Just sat there drinking them and eventually recovered. Then went home and just slept all day.

i marvel at kf's durability on days like today.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right forearm (tennis)
ACHES/INJURIES: low back
MENTAL STATE: kind of tired, which is odd because i've gotten plenty of sleep the last few nights

- warm up

~~- paused speed squat~~
275 felt unstable and very heavy. low back worrisome. caution.

- partial daily routine

more rest, no interest in letting this nagging back tightness become an injury.

one thing and another and this week has just been exercise-free since tuesday's aborted workout. for the first time in a long time, i don't feel bad about missing a few days. back doesn't hurt, knees don't hurt. will rest today, too -- going to a baseball game straight from work -- but back on the horse tomorrow morning.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, not even left hip
MENTAL STATE: a little weird, too hungry

- warm up

- skater jump x 20

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 10
hit 7/10 dodgeball dunks, very relaxed

- paused squat 265 x 5
harder than it should have been but no pain

- DB push press 45s x 10

- pull up x 10

- hanging leg raise x 5

went easy on myself today, first workout after a few days off. strong focus on form and relaxation. i think i'm gonna play tennis again in a bit. feeling glad to have taken those days off, intentional or not.

EDIT: later

- tennis x 45 mins
hot, called it at 5-0 because i was getting a headache. need to remember a hat. put a bag of frozen peas on the back of my neck, let's see if it helps.

LBSS · « **Reply #3805 on:** August 07, 2016, 01:41:51 pm »

am again treading water. need new plan. not having a clear move date is a pain in the ass because it's hard to plan backward from something. i have been doing a kind of t0ddday-peaking-block-lite for months now and while i'm still jumping pretty well from time to time i don't really feel like i'm progressing on anything.

any ideas?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a tiny bit, tweaked anterior right ankle but it's okay now
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- pogo x 10,10

- DL bound x 4,4,4
improved each set

- DL bound up stairs x 8,8,8

- submax SL bounds x a few sets
just awful, this is where i tweaked right ankle a little

- some other stuff that i forget

went to the track with my mom, had her do a modified version of this including running some stairs.

LBSS · « **Reply #3807 on:** August 09, 2016, 04:13:26 pm »

feel really stale, motivation very low.

EDIT: stretched a little and did some pistols today. could not drag myself to the gym, which is very unusual. just feel tired.

also, my best friend getting married this weekend, which i am extremely excited about.

If were to put myself in your shoes, I'd say not having that bit of external motivation to spur you on is maybe keeping you from those extra couple of inches and that dunk. Even if its something silly like a facebook status, "I John Cena, swear on all the Gods known to man that I will dunk come that date of 12-31-2016 or I will change my name on facebook to Bootyeater Forlyfe for all of next year." It could really put help put some sense of urgency into every session.

I know that personally, I'd need that deadline feeling (each workout being now or never just to finish off the deed). You might be different and this idea might be completely wrong for you but maybe it can raise that question of what sort of inspiration do you need to get you that last 5% when you've done 95% of the work.

I mean if your goal is to dunk I think you should do it right. You can't just do peaking type sessions forever. Put 40lbs on the squat and 50lbs on the deadlift and then come back and do more peaking sessions and just have a bigger strength pool to draw from.

I looked through your log a bit and it's been about a month since you did P-chain strength work (unless your squat is hip dominant). I dunno what your numbers are like but I remember seeing you log 335 DL for reps and 360 1RM squat. IMHO that is not the best ratio to be at. Maybe do some MSEM type stuff with DL or RDL and really get your P-chain firing maximally if you wanna keep doing this peaking thing.

You could also mix it up and try something like banded half squat which has tremendous carryover to DLRVJ. Reading adarq's half squat post has me questioning doing full squats if your goal is DLRVJ.
