Yeah, I'm always doing either squat + bench or bench + squat (all barbell exercises). It's pretty demanding but I'm trying to adapt to it.

Went in the park, played 2:30 hours of 3 on 3, had a bunch of rim-grazing dunks on the 2.92m rim (I think 6 or 7 of them). I would be interesting to see how well I jump if I take a break and rest a bit and also get under 90 kg, hopefully I can find out in a few months.

I also landed on someone's foot going for a rebound a week ago and my left foot swole just a little, amazingly enough. I can barely feel some pain here and there and can jump and play pretty well. I guess my running shoes were OK for an event like this.
