Hey man, just read it on adarq's channel.... Congratulation to those fabulous PR's, that rate of progress is really solid!

Thanks man

dammmn sick work coming back into session-1.. 24" dj's feeling good/PR was inevitable, awesome you got it already.. you shouldn't have as much fatigue from session-1 as a few weeks back.

peace

Yea, that session was pretty good. My 1rm might be even higher than 325

I'm at like 2.1X x bw crazy
Yea those dj's felt very good but I still think I have room for improvement on them. I'm hoping my fatigue-induced vert now will be like 28" svj and 33" rvj. Then fresh will be like 30+ and 35+, and stim'd will be even higher.

Thanks. Yes, it was pretty special. I'm about 11" higher on that dunk you saw than I was about 26-27 months ago, that is the hoop that I started my vert training on. That dunk in the video was my third time ever doing it, first two times were two days before that. I did it again on Friday when someone was there to toss me an oop again, got up NASTY on that one, felt like 36, really wish I had that one on video. But yea, the real goal is to dunk on an official 10' rim. When I do that, no one on the planet will be happier than me at that moment. I promise to capture it on video... it will be some crazy shit.

10-20-10

Did a little bit of jumping today just because it was nice out and I wanted to see what my vert was like with fatigue and soreness from session 1.

I was still getting up really good, hand over the rim easily, grabbing with two hands easily, tennis ball dunk from vert easily. So I would say I was 29-30 and 34-35 which I'm really happy with.

Kept jumps to a minimum so I'm still gonna do session 2 later.

Can't wait until I peak again after session 3, I'm for sure gonna put out another video but can't decide what yet... dunks on 9'8, go for vertec pr's, or.... 10' dunk attempts. I'll probably do one then rest back up a day or two and do another one.

just got your text, how was session 2? good thing about the jumps, odd about the squats (based on your text).

Yea well those jumps earlier in the day were good but session 2 sucked. They were about 7-8 hours apart. I only took about 12 jumps in the earlier session so either I took too many and that's why session 2 was weak or I didn't do enough to recover in between. Probably both because I didn't eat a full meal in between those, just protein shake and a few bananas. I also played tennis for about an hour right before the first jump session.

10-20-10

Session 2

Dynamic warmup, sprint warmup

Sprints

About 12 jumps total - vert 28" (didn't get any higher after first jump) 2 step - 30.5" - felt weak, I know I can get up higher than that. Did 2 rvj's just to see what they felt like- had that collapsing feeling, something was definitely wrong.

4x12 tuck jumps

4x5 pogos

rea squat: 45x3 125x3 130x3 130x3 130x3

squat warmup: 135x3 185x3 225x1 265x1

MSEM: 285x1, pinned on second. Rested for a few mins then did one set of 5 with 265, 275 for last rep

Lunge: 185x3e 195x3e 200x2e

core circuit x2

Pretty obvious my CNS was toast and I was fatigued. Still happy that I jumped good earlier in the day though.

10-23-10

dynamic warmup, sprint warmup

Sprints

2 or 3 svj's - 28" 7-8 3-steps 31" 2 or 3 rvj's 31-32"

-svj hasn't gone down too much but rvj has really taken a hit. Throughout the past 10 days or so when I was jumping high rvj's felt very powerful, pogo hops felt very light and springy- whenever I did some of these and they felt like that I knew I was gonna jump high.

4x12 tuck jumps

4x5 pogos

rea squat: 45x3 95x3 130x3 130x3 135x3 135x3

2x: MSEM 265x6 jump squat 100x2x2

lunge: 205x3e 215x3e 215x3e

core circuit x2

10-26-10

Did a light session today.

Dynamic warmup, two warmup sprints

2 or 3 10 yard sprints

A few svj's and rvj's - ~27.5 and ~32.5, nothing crazy about 10 total jumps

1 10 yard sprint

upper body

Will probably rest tomorrow, might take a few jumps to see what it is like if it's nice outside. Planning on big session Thursday/Friday then another one a couple days later.

Damn my right ankle is sore. Think I had some extreme flexion when I sort of missed a step the other day. Whoops. It isn't too bad though, just a little tender. Might take an extra day tomorrow if it doesn't feel much better.

I'm 20. The tennis isn't all out though, it's mostly just friendly rallying just to get in to a groove and find a rhythm with groundstrokes. But yea thanks I appreciate the compliment.

10-28-10

Did about 10 jumps... they sucked, something like 27 and 31.5. Ended with some sprints.

10-29-10

A few jumps outside... was getting up decent... hand over the rim but no more than that... went inside really quick to check on vertec... 28 and 33.5. Only did two jumps each so I probably could have gotten .5" higher on each.

Upper body- everything has been increasing a lot since I have been taking less rest time in between workouts.

*Did a muscle up for the first time ever which has been a goal of mine for a few months.

Core

Gonna jump again tomorrow and/or Sunday... vert should be even higher in a day or two. Lookin for a couple of big jump sessions.
