cutting to dunk is a fools errand. You will lose athletic gains in the time it takes you to attain the required bodyfat % and by then you'll have to work hard to get them back. I've dunked while weighing 30kg more and while weighing 30kg less - the only difference is you go from needing to make a max vs submax effort. Same VJ, no change by bodyweight. The sweet spot is somewhere where you are heavy enough to be powerful and strong but not too heavy to make it max effort nor too weak to make it submax. Imho. Listen to all the advice given. Much easier ways to shed bodyfat than stupidly through training. Do it through diet - RFL as a cat 1 for 10 days if you really wanna do it properly. Not intervals. Jack is unhelpful for giving you that advice.

Thanks you so much for all the respond here.
I fwded my journal to jack and told him about what the Bro is talking about.

i also gogled about the RFL hand book. I just try to go low carb by cutting rice..never a real fan of logging and counting my intake... but.. will sure have a look at it.
From www.itworkss.com

my leg muscle is sore ... from the Interval training. The HARD 30 sec interval really is something. With that.. it will sure affect my jump ability.
Furthermore. Since last month Jack had planned this for me:
1. Plyo day: Single Leg tuck jump, split jump, power skipp, single leg pasued frog jump, seated jump
2. Explosive lift day: Deadlift, Paused Jump Squat, Plyo lunge, single leg pasued frog jump, seated single leg jump
3. Optional Strength Day: Box squat, Lunge, Glute ham Raise (I will just do Hang clean, snatch on these day)
4. Sport Specific Jump day.

All in all, the above exercise is similar to the original Vertical Jumping Mastery program by Jack. I am not sure if at this critical stage of my training.. I should continue to repeat the above.

or may be like "acole14" said, I should do lot of "max effort jumps with ooper, or stuff like the 7 day vertical jump cure, or just stretching/self massage"

no change of anything...

going to spend some time reading the 7 days jump cure pdf now.

150510 First time back in Lifting since i am sick
Just did various version of
rom deadlift
Above the knee, below the knee pull, hang clean. 2, 2 3 combo.

nothing heavy..
i am recovery.. but not yet fully.

the next morning.... My body is so sore...
I can tell if it is the pain from the cold... or the pain from the workout.
(the soreness at the hamstring is sure due to the lift.. but i am also having beat up pain on my lower back shoulder etc...)

i am still sick.. fuxk sake..

scoobychau · « **Reply #575 on:** May 13, 2015, 08:22:18 am »

Exam on Monday May 18th.

All training on hold.
this make it 2 weeks with no training.. (with only 1 Hang Clean day)

scoobychau · « **Reply #576 on:** May 31, 2015, 11:53:45 pm »

FXck sake.

For the pass month. It go like this.
Week 1 - Full time study for Exam did not train.
Week 2- Finished Exam and Got sick for 1 week. (1 session of Basketball team training right after exam day and got sick)
2 weeks of no training.
Week 3 - Recovered and resumed training slightly ( Jump training 20 rim jump, Olifting and Strength day completed)
Week 4 - WTF i got sick again (1 session of indoor basketball training, Olifting and Strength day completed)

Just like that. over one month is pass... No improvement for sure.. and probably decrease in vertical.
I must keep my health in good shape... every one is getting sick and infecting people back and forth in this season of flu.

I decide to Dorp Jackwoordup personal program as it is clashing with basketball team training.
Actually. i am thinking that the custom program is not very Customized for me at a personal level.

Instead, I am thinking about re doing jump manual,
but this time.. i will disregard the golden rule of "Do not lift ligther than 8RM". I will just try to lift explosive with lighter weight instead of Grinding up all those 8RM weight in squat and Deadlfit.

hello fellow asian.

150609 Busy but never stopped.

Had been training hang clean every sunday, along with on off training.
(training stat is recorded on phone but did not have time to update this log)

Restarted Jump Manual but with LIGHTER weight this time. No more of those 80% 1RM 5 set of 8 exercise. Grinding is much less.
Hope this lighter weight can make different with better result.

(did 1 day of plyometric, 1 day of plank/leg raise, 1 day of Heavy lifting last week.)

Took the time to edit this video which record Dunk attempt in May piror to Restarting Jump Manual

150613 2nd strength session from Jump manual

Did not have Time to update my previous log.
Have been doing those Plank and leg raise according to the book, done 2 sessions of plyometric (slightly over 1 hr each)
Today will be the 2nd session of Weight.

review last weight session log preparing for tonight session as follow:

2015 Restarted Jump Manual
Without reading my old state... I told myself to listen to my body and go lighter.
and end up.... with the following weight:

Squat @ 275 5setx8 (with only 3 set of warm up with lighter weight)

Deadlift @ 275 5setx8 (no warm up)

Now that i took to time to Revisit my Old stat and WTF is goning on... I Might THINK i am lifting light.. but in fact i am still lifting heavy..
the question is... did I get stronger? or am i Still lifting slow...

Now... the key is Cut down the warm up... and try to lift explosive freshly. I manage to finish the whole routine in 2 hrs.
I got to make sure i am lifting Fast... no grinding.... unless is the last rep...

am I still grinding... I thought I am not... Am i still going too heavy? Dam it...I am not sure

150624 Week 4 of Jump manual Plyo day
I got myself a Inversion boot from china. So much cheaper compare to Amazon. Before my plyo session, I attempt to hang myself... for the first time, still very scared.. so i just hanged for like 20 sec.. with my 3 yrs old watching me on the side.
After 1 hour of plyometric exercise...I try to wrap it up with more inversion hanging.. and end up not able to kick my leg up.

Weak core strength may be? Not too sure.

PS. for the pass 3 or 4 session.. my 3 yrs old is partnering with me during plyometric session. It is so hot, and she often get bitten by mosquito. I am sure lot of parents think i am stupid making her jump around with me. I guess it is just my way of spending time together instead of me went to exercise myself.

with no jump practice for month... I feel my vert did not increase at all..

Oh yes, I also got my self on of the Musctrac from china for 1/8 of the cost... going to massage whenever possible.
On the side note, I shifted my Lifting day from Sunday to Saturday, This free up my sunday to have 1 hour of Focus stretching every sunday.
(i should be stretching everyday...... dam it)
