Did some short sprints, svj's, and rvj's. Ready to start training vert again. 

Squatting sucked, was planning on doing 3x8 with 245 but only got 5 on first set rofl so I did one single with 275 then stopped.


Somebody give me a dunking deadline.

Before I got injured I was pretty much there.

Squat max before: ~325..............Squat max now: ~315

Vert before: 30.5"svj and 37.5"rvj...............Vert now:???????- I'll update this after I test it (don't have access to vertec though)

Weight is pretty much the same, might be 2 or 3 pounds heavier but I have added a lot more upper body strength and I'm leaner than ever.


So squat strength is pretty much the same (haven't been doing lunges though), upper body strength is higher, haven't really done any jumping or plyos so I think it will just be a matter of how long it takes for the reactive strength and jumping efficiency to come back which I'm assuming will be pretty quick.

what was up with your squats?

Not really sure, every once in a while I'll have a bad day where the weight feels heavier than usual. Usually I just end the session early and try again within the next day or two.

My last squat session was a week before that and I was using 260 and 265 for sets of 5. Could have been I didn't eat enough the day before and day of. I also just moved into my dorm last week and I've been walking around a ton so legs could have been drained a little from that.

2 short sprints and some verts. About 10'2 max on rvj.

squat: 135x3 185x2 225x1 245x8 245x8 235x8

reverse lunge: 155x5e 155x5e 160x5e

After first set of squats my quads already were starting to feel sore. wtffff

Confused. You dunked on 10' with a 7'5.5 reach and 36" RVJ? Does not compute, my reach is .5" higher and I was figuring I'd need 38" to dunk.

No I think I actually made that sig right before I had those dunk attempts on 10'. The 36 was an estimate based on my dunks on 9'8. Hand is 7" long, felt like I was ~2.5" down wrist on 9'8 dunk attempts (miss those days). You can check out my dunk attempts on 10' video, kind of a weird angle so I don't really know what to claim... full hand (7") over rim would be 37.5".

I thought the same as LBSS.
you were getting up on the 10' vid tho. 37.5 seems more like it.
Hope to see more vids when you are back 100%!

Thanks man I really appreciate the comment. I never know what to claim from that video because of that funky angle. On one of the jumps it looks like my wrist is 2-3" over the rim so with the distortion I figure I was at least wrist at the rim (full hand 7" over).

Yea man hopefully I'm gonna get back there pretty soon and then finally start dunking on 10'. I will have a crazy vid for my first dunk on 10'.

Couple short sprints and rvj's. Rvj = 10'1 (lawl)
-Ankle did not bother me as much as the last few sessions.

squat warmup: 135x5 185x3 225x1

squat: 245x8 245x8 250x8 - u mirin son?
-strenf definitely went up a bit. Reps were much quicker, smoother, had good bounce out of the hole, lower back not an issue.

reverse lunge: 155x5e 155x6e 165x6e

did some calf raises on smith machine for ankle rehab: concentric both feet, eccentric on left foot. 4x15+
