1 March 2010

9'8'' dunk session.
Weight at session : ~187lbs
Weather was ok , rather dry and not too cold , 12 Celsium degrees.

Session was good , i was getting up easy.
Didnt expect that after all that endurance oriented ski week.

(dont forget to watch it in 720p )

At the end of the clip there is a miss that i think i was 11 to 11,5 inches above 9'8''
That is a 32'' to 32,5'' RVJ , with the ball in hands!!!

Good shit... :D

New big focus : runups!
I was neglecting them because i get higher with 2 steps.
So although knowing its wrong , i prefered not to practice/improve full runups , but get the max jump i could each time ( with 2 steps ) and chase PRs.
So ill take a step back , forget that i can get 1-2'' higher and will do only full runup RVJs from now on.

you can do a few things:

1. practice the 3-step runups AFTER your max jumps
2. rotate between 3-step and 2-step runups per-session
3. rotate between 3-step and 2-step runups, dedicating a session to each

i'd go with #1 & #2 right now.. go with #3 when you get better at the 3-step runups.

pc!

Wanted to go to the gym but got stuck in work... GRRRR
Then wanted to go do rim jumps but it rained... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

BW@session: ~188

BW squats :
10xnormal squats ( both legs down )
6xsingle leg on parallel height box
4xsingle leg on below parallel box
2xsingle leg with hand assisting
Full single leg BW SQUATS ( no hands assistance , MSEM style, rest between reps ~1' , rest between sets 5' ) :
3sets x 4 reps , 1 rep = 1 for each leg
Like allways on single leg drills , left leg is much stronger.
full single leg BW squat on left leg = ~90%
full single leg BW squat on left leg = ~100% , 1 out of 2 is failure.


3x8 single leg BW king-deadlifts

3x20 single leg calf raises

Yes , especially the rain part was very painful.
It was a great day , warm and dry , sun etc... It rained only for 5 minutes , when i was getting redy to go to the park.
Not even a heavy rain , just a little spray to ruin my session.
Today its sunny again , but now im sore from yesterday's workout  :-\

10' rim jumps.

BW@session : ~187

Weather was 9'celsium and rather strong wind, but its gonna get worse so took the chance.
Also calves were very sore from Friday. Weird soreness too , mostly at the upper part of calves.

Warmup = dynamic warmup + bunch of low-mid effort jumps

1x5 SVJs : 25,5 to 26,5

3x5 RVJs :
Big fail , thinking about runup ruined my session.
I was trying to do 2-3 max jumps ( 1 or 2 step runups ) and then 2-3 full runup jumps each set.
Weirdly , i couldnt get my normal max jumps... like someone deleted them from my mind.
My normal max aproach ( 1 or 2 steps ) felt like shit , i was geting 28'' to 29''.
My 3 steps approach felt like allways , a bit out of coordination and clumsy plant, geting 29'' to 30''.
I got 2 good full runup jumps that felt really fluid , i got easy 31+'' on those , and feeling i could do much better.

damn.. sux that it made everything go haywire, but don't give in, the 31" fluid jumps were good.

just try and keep that stuff out of your mind until after you're done with the 1-2 step runups... literally give 3 step runups a "who gives a shit" mentality..

it's kind of like, when I would coach people on their ten yard dash. some people run it in 8 steps, their leg turnover looks like a machine gun, but they aren't going anywhere. So we work on bringing them down to 6 steps in the ten. Some people instantly run better 10 yard dash times, others get slower times. For the people who run slower times, it takes a few weeks and then they are fine, but initially they feel like crap.

peace man

Yes , it was just like that. And i knew it when it was happening too. I tried to empty my mind but couldnt.
Its ok , as i said i need to take a step back to improve runups. Those fluid jumps felt so good. The idea of having them constantly is sick!

About runups.
I am puting here 2 vids that are the dunks collections of last spring&summer.
Its interesting because you can see the runup change in time:
- The 4:3 videos are from April to July , i was weight training until end of May i think. I was doing Kelly's ultimate split , 3xweek using 5x5 all the time and no plyos at all. My bodyweight is ~187.
- The 16:9 videos are end of July and beginning of August , about 1,5 to 2 months without lifting , with extended dunking sessions every week and leaned down to ~175lbs.
You can clearly see the shift from dropsteps & 1-2 step jumps to full and mor explosive runups.
Im very interested on your comments/observations about my jumping form...
