27 April 2010

BBall game.
The court we were playing today has the best wooden court, perfect grip and bounce.
We get to play there only once a year though, so i was planning to peak/PR/dunk.
Didnt dunk , didnt even try , did peak and equal PR though.
Got wrist at rim 4 times. Thats 8'' above , 10'8'' , 33'' RVJ, BAM , equals PR , FINALY!!!
Havent jumped 33'' from last June!!! Very happy with it... :D :D :D :D :D

On a sidenote , i did a few SVJs too yesterday and they were about ~27''
Thats the biggest SVJ-RVJ gap i ever had ( 6'' ) , but i guess its the difference between a great wooden court and a dusty concrete one...

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

10'8= dunking soon?

Well , because i started from ~24'' max runing vert 3 years ago , i had the chance to study well dunking as i progressed on trying to dunk lower rims. So from my observations on 9'8'' and 9'10'':

8'' above rim : about 1/10  1-handers, palming the ball. 2-handers = NO
9'' above rim : about 5/10 1-handers palming the ball. 5/10 2-handers , soft
10'' above rim : 10/10 1-handers , 10/10 2-handers , 5/10 off the backboard.
Above that you can start throwing down hard.

So 10'8'' + dunk = hmmmmm , i dont think so!
If i could repeat that 10'8'' on concrete (wich i seriousely doubt ) , then id sure dedicate a dunk session to get that damn 10' dunk. But i think im not there yet...

Thanks man , you too!!!


1 May 2010

Body measurements
After 6 weeks of bulking + 1 week of unloading/undereating.

Comparison with last measurements right before starting to bulk , March 14.

Weight ( in the morning ) :  ~188 , ( +5lbs )
Waist ( navel level , loose) : ~35,25'' , ( +0,25'' )
Thighs ( about 3/4 from knee to hip flexor , flexed) : ~25,8'' , ( +1'' )
Hips ( middle of butt , loose ) : ~41,3'' , ( +1,6'' )
Biceps ( flexed ) : ~15,5'' , ( +0,3'' )
Calves : 14,8'' , ( +0,5'' )

Bodyfat estimation (online calculator) : ~17,3% ( -0,2% )
Bodyfat estimation (BF measuring scale) : ~16%

Green/Red = comparison with previous measurements , green = positive , red = negative

Wow , every size measurement went UP and bodyfat actually decreased.
Only 1/4'' increase in waist while adding 5 "clean" lbs ( last week , before deloading , i was ~191.5 in the morning. So this 188 is "clean" , no water ).
Very impressed , bulking cycle went great... :D

Beginning of next cycle this week.
My original plan was to repeat previous cycle , which was strength/size based.
But now im having 2nd thoughts , only thing i want to change is the squating, so the cycle is not strength/size based but more a transition to power. Still want to get my limit strength up though.

So here are the changes : ( red = what im changing from previous cycle )

Day 1:
Squat MSEM 2x3 ---> build up to 3RM or MSEM 3x1
Bench 4x6
Rows 4x6
Biceps/Triceps 3x12

Day 2:
Squat 4x6 ---> MSEM with a little more volume , something like 4x3x1 or 3x4x1
BSS 3x8
Calves 3x12

Im gonna be doing some conditioning too now to get leaner.
My fav is 2x8-10 ~100yrd sprints at ~60% , ~1min rest between sprints , ~5 mins rest between sets.
Not adding depth jumps yet , thats on next cycle. Gonna add pogo jumps though.
1 jump/dunk session every week too.

How does it look?

im confused on the 2nd day, 4x6 = 4 sets of 6 singles? if anything i'd do 4x3-4 not 4x6.

looks fine, just get in a volume squat day every 4th-5th session or so.

why did you change your plan?

why did you change your plan?

The programm i wrote is the prgramm i did last 5 weeks and planned to repeat.
The red is the correction im doing.
So the line Squat 4x6 ---> MSEM with a little more volume , something like 4x3x1 or 3x4x1 means i am substituting 4x6  with MSEM 4x3 or 3x4

Reasons i changed my mind are:
1) Day 1 MSEM 2x3 was too draining , leaving me weak for the upper body stuff.
2) Aint that cycle better for transitioning from strength to power? Previous was more hypertrophy , this is like balanced , next will be reactive ( DJs , jump squats , REA squats , heavy MSEM to keep strength ).
