I'm really curious what I could do if I were to drop below 80 kg. Back when I was jumping 36-38 inches I was doing so being skinny-fat. I wonder what I could do with a proper body composition, even at 42.

AM
Cycle - 4 x 5' (1')
Lift - chins, dips, laterals

PM
Run - 3k progressive warmup + 2 x k @ SubT [4:08, 4:07], 6.93k,  37:49 total
Lift - RDL, calves, lunges

Notes

been a bit cooler lately and sleep has been great. decided to push just a little on the run to see how things felt. so started with a progressive warmup, 1k super easy, 1k ~5:00, felt good, so 1k ~4:30, then walk for a bit. was still feeling good so decided to roll slowly into a 1k rep, felt fine, etc.

not 100% pain free, but nothing concerning, and it felt great to move with a bit of tempo. let's see how things feel tomorrow morning.

First dunk on 10 feet after over 10 years!

I went in the park and played some 3-on-3 in my new running shoes, the Kipsta JF 100.1 (some very light and tight running shoes). After that I tried some dunks on the 2.90m rim and then a few on 10 feet. Almost got a dunk from the first try and did a few more tries and threw one down. Not the greatest dunk in the world but still the first one on 10 feet in over 10 years, at almost 42 years old.

At home I weighed in at 87.7 kg, the lowest in 10+ years. I will continue to drop weight to see what happens. I'm putting in two videos, one at 2.90m and the other at 10 feet:

2.90m: https://youtube.com/shorts/K6Ig9PSAhjI
3.05m: https://youtube.com/shorts/BHhXM1sTcxk

I am attaching a shot from the highest point at the 2.90m rim.

- SubT 8 x 3 min
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:05-4:06 w/ 60s walking rest
-- cool down
Rx is for 10 x 3 but i overslept and had to drag myself out the door. trying to hold back from pushing too hard, stay on this side of the line, etc. workout felt fine.

AM
Run -- 3.83k, 23:58

PM
Cycle -- 5 x 6' (1'), 45:35 total
Lift -- OL Calves, OAC eccentrics, chins, dips, curls, laterals

Notes

run felt decent, think i should be back to things again pretty soon. dug out some arahis i bought last year and haven't worn much. do notice a difference in stability, but they're so firm i remember why i didn't really enjoy running in them. will keep them in rotation though, for easy runs, and they have pretty minimal wear so i imagine they'll break in a bit.

wife has been lifting 2x week this year (just some self-directed dumbbell stuff, short sessions) and she wants to do a pullup. no warmup today she tried one and she could move a bit! so we tried some eccentrics and she could control them super well, so (a) that's hype and i bet she'll be able to do a proper one pretty soon and (b) that inspired me to see if i can stil control an OAC eccentric. thankfully yes i can! so the vague aspiration to hit an OAC and run a sub 3 marathon in the same day lives on.

also, gotta be honest, envious of my wife's lifting genes. here delts/biceps are pretty badass for doing like 2-4 sets a week for 6 months
