Another one...I gotta give this a try. Also, look how shallow the dip is before he jumps. Super impressive.



the one leg landing, after all of that stuff in the air, is impressive af.

that's actually the clip i was searching for, when i saw you post the other one above. saw that one yesterday and was like wtf.... couldn't find it today, thnx for posting it.

it's funny how you mention giving it a try .. i look at these clips and that never crosses my mind, lmfao.

That's the first thing I think actually haha. I'll try to find my favourite one where he does a whole sequence on one leg. It's incredible.

*Edit- here it is. This is the one that made me want to try it as he's not getting as much height.

In the words of Brett Brown himself"

"He's really just scratching the surface to what ultimately he is going to be when we start talking about high level of finishing efficiency, growth of a free throw, the rebuilding of his shot, a comfort level of making and shooting an 18-foot jump shot, those things are still on the horizon,” said Brown, a former Spurs assistant who witnessed that program's ability to markedly improve a player's jumpshot.



I think half the problem is he's so ambidextrous and doesn't really know which hand to favour.

I find the same thing with gyms it gives me motivation because usually there's always at least one person (depending on how busy the gym is) who lifts more than me.

Definitely. There's a few guys who are beasts but I'm finding a lot of gym bros at the moment who cycle between 8 different pieces of equipment and do quarter squats and round backed deads. Would be a different story if I trained at night tho. Still, as long as I have my own music it's more motivating that training at home.

Strength session- 75% week

Warm Up- lots of time in bottom of squat while I woke up, lots of hip flexor stretching, pigeon stretch

Squat- bar x 10, 60 x 5, 75 x 5, 5, 5

Bench- bar x 10, 40 x 3, 62.5 x 5, 5, 5

Wide grip pull ups- bw x 5, 5, 5

Plank & Shank- 1min each x 2 (no rest between sets)

Bloody stupid moment at the the gym this morning. Filled my water bottle up with ice cold water and lightly tossed it into my bag when I was benching. It hit the metal platform and cracked. Water fucking everywhere. Managed to clean it up with my gym towel but had to cradle my gym bag for the rest of the session to prevent water from leaking everywhere.

Also, speaking of stupid shit, I do forget how much fun it is to train in a commercial gym and people watch. When I was squatting there is a rugby player doing the most legit ATG squats I have ever seen with 100+ on his back. Then there are two other guys doing the worst impersonation of a quarter squat I have ever seen and continually adding weight. I don't know how you can live with yourself. I completely don't mind that there's a bit of talent around in the mornings though. Enough to get me up and about for my training.

total sign of immaturity: afraid to take jump shots is a sign he doesn't want himself to look bad, he wants the world to see how much game he has.....

From what I read yesterday he is completely reworking his jumpshot so I can imagine his reluctance to take them. Really though, he can basically get to the basket at will so what's a year of not taking jump shots.

What about the jump to passing the single leg through the hands!!! If ever there was going to be a challenge on this site that should be it.


90% of people who would attempt it would get injured!  :trollface:

Hahaha. Surely it's a skill more than pure vert. His vert can't be more than around low 30s anyway.

30 minute base building run

4k @ 7:10 pace

Was listening to a podcast last night and there was some absolute gold that pretty much sums up where I've gone wrong with my training the last 5 years.

- You didn't just lose it. Remember how you got it.

- The athletes who are in the most danger are the ones who just hit a PR.

- Do you want to win the training day or succeed at your event.

Basically, slow and steady wins the race. It's not new information by a long stretch but it's so relevant to me it's just not funny.

yup, all great points, especially that 2nd one. Life-after-PR can be a wreck.

As for #3, training PR's can still be a good thing to go after if you're feeling it. I think the importance of events is often overrated, especially early on. ie me with my races. I'd rather PR in training than wait for it and maybe or maybe not PR in a race. Eventually i'd rather PR/peak for races, but right now I don't care - if I see an opportunity to push my limits I should take it. That discipline of holding back and saving it for the event/competition is when it really matters - which could be for you in your first mini-try of course. But there's also a caveat to that, winning the training day "early on" when you're just starting some new training, isn't a great idea either.. slowly easing into it is important.

Good point!  The context around #3 was moreso on guys trying to PR every training day and wrecking themselves. It was all about the easy days not being easy enough and the hard days not being hard enough. It gets muddy in the middle there.

Agree with you that PRs in training provide a great level of motivation to continue training though,

Haha man the start of that first video has a straddle planche which is almost the hardest skill he does. Especially being 193cm!!! He's a former elite swimmer who only started with this stuff maybe 4-5 years ago max.

What about the jump to passing the single leg through the hands!!! If ever there was going to be a challenge on this site that should be it.

Practice some more back squats just body weight, feeling much better, understanding the lean because of my long femur length and back mobility work has almost eliminated the tight back and tight hips with my squats.

I did this exact same thing before squatting yesterday and it helped so much. Just to get that foot position and lean right makes an enormous difference.

Strength session- 75% week

Warm up- nil

Squat-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 75 x 5, 5, 5 (bar a bit lower, feet a bit further apart = easy squatting)

Bench-
bar x 10, 40 x 5, 40 x 3, 62.5 x 5, 5, 5

Pull Ups-
bw x 5, 5, 5 (slightly wider grip was actually much easier on these. weird)

Done. No warm up. No cool down but I'll survive. Stretching to come later.
