Also I was looking at some of your old vids just now and honestly the jumps looked better -- smoother -- in March than they did in the June vid. Like you're one-two stepping in the March vid and just kind of jump stopping in the June one, if that makes sense. Your numbers stayed pretty much the same or improved a bit so maybe I'm delusional.

Just an observation.

You're right , in March it looks more fluid and the plant is clearly L-R , in June its more like im squating the jumps.
Explanation:
In March i was away from lifting for ~3months , June is after 3 months of heavy lifting.
Bodyweight in March ~187 ---> June ~200
Estimated max squat in March ~265 ---> June ~315
Rim of March video 9'8'' ---> June 9'10''
As for vert , June is 2'' to 2,5'' higher than March on everything , SVJ , dropstep , 2-steps , RVJ , everything.

I have landed much better and impressive dunks in that 9'8'' rim since March but didnt film them.
The only recent vid i have from that rim to compare progress from March directly is this (on my secondary account ):

i tell you what, that hip pain never completely disappears once you really get it, for example like i had it for 1+ months at a very debilitating level.. i mean just the other day it was bugging me while i was jogging.. it doesn't linger around as much since im not squatting heavy + deep, but it does rear its ugly head once in a while and scares the shit out of you.. there's something about hip pain that just scares the fuck out of me, feels so arthritic.

nice workout tho mang, just don't aggravate those hip sockets ! :)

peace man

Word , its a pain like that , its here to stay. But its really annoying only on deep squats , so its fine.
One good thing of training at my age is that you are familiar with such pains , they're "part of the deal".
When i was younger and i got 'arthritic' pain i would also freak out. Now its like "oh well , add hip to the list of things that hurt". I have similar pain in my shoulder , from hyperextension on highest touch attempts. Its there for ~4-5 years. Now i dont even notice it , its still there , i just got used of it.

Andrew , i found some objects that i can use for pinch grip strengthening.
Best one is my ski boots , they weigh ~12lbs together and griping them together has a variable grip width choice which is good.
So , what reps and sets and style should i try?
I was thinking something like 3x10 , 1 set of 10 reps each hand for 2'' 3'' and 4'' grip , lift them from the floor , hold 3 secs on top , put it down.
Also my couch arm width is 3'' and perfectly flat , of course i cant move it but how about griping it and trying to lift it as hard as i can although it wont move? For like 3x10sec each hand?

21 July 2010

Conditioning/recovery workout
Weight@session : ~190,5

- 15 mins light jog

- 5 mins rest

INTERVALS:
- 10x40m sprints at ~90% , rest = walk back ( ~45 sec )

- 5 mins rest

- 15 mins light jog

Light jog felt awfull , feet felt "heavy" and weak , mostly at calves area ( calves , shins , side , everything ).
Sprints were awesome though, very powerful and explosive.

you can pretty much do anything really.. all you want to do though is make sure week after week your holds for time are improving, and you're able to rep things more or with a little bit more weight.. similar to regular strength training of course, but with grip, there are so many muscles & they recover so fast that it's best to just have fun with it and wing it every workout..

i bet this stuff helps you palm btw :D

peace

Another way to work pinch is hang weights from books of various thickness.
