K, so this is going to suck as my home PC is trashed but I tossed together some footage on my phone of the mini dunk session I had after last weeks 2 hour skills work session. If I look dead tired...it's because i was. I had to self motivate a little because i was missing more than I was making but here goes....

BW at 177lbs just before lifting
Dynamic warmup+jumps
Squats (b=banded. p=paused):
(warmup) 135x5p, 225x5b, 295x1b, 345x1b. Didn't realize I hadn't put my belt on yet lol! Usually I warmup sans belt except for the top single (safety) then stay belted for sets. oops. Nice to know I got it completely raw though!
(worksets) 295x5b, 295x5b, 295x5b, 225x5bp. K, paused explosive backoffs get a burn lol! 2nd set I struggled on rep 3 and 4, not sure why, 5 was much better.
paused calf raise on leg press:
500lbs: x12, x12, x12. 3rd set is a almost there. hopefully move weight up in 2 weeks!
hypers:
45lbs: x12, x12
bw: x15.
Ended with core, heavy stepups and some walking lunges. Had to cut stretching short and skipped icing y knees....we'll see how that feels tomorrow.

Thanks! I swear I was getting higher Tuesday when I was just dunking with the guys instead of doing a full workout. Sigh. One of these days I'll have the phone recording at the right time.

Ummm...update from the recovery.....
I did my deadlift workout on Sunday. Moved weight up on some stuff. Was a good workout.
Played some ball....was really bouncy for the first time since pre injury. Almost got a 360. Clean off glass reverse and got rim stuffed hard on a very funny btl attempt. Was getting up tho.

Ninja post Raptor! Lol!
If your true max is a PR then it changes. Thats not a very 'true' statement in my mind. I think worrying about a true max is just a waste of time.

Can someone define true max?
Is it truthfully the max you'll ever lift? Because I'd hope to be training at 50% of it currently then.
Is it the true max for your current strength levels? Then its not really a true max IMO.
Maybe its a true max for that day? Which would make it your daily max right?
Idk about everyone here but when I go lift I just try to see how my body reacts that day. Some days are stronger than others and I adjust accordingly. As long as I progress in the long term then I know I'm heading in the correct direction. Too much thinking. Moar lifting. Lol

Did back/bicep/ core on Tuesday morning. I think my scales off slightly, it says I'm weighing in at 178-179lbs but the scale at the gym says 184-185 and my parents says 185.7 (digital lol). So...if its reading a little low that's both good and bad. I can shed a few more pounds and hopefully get some of my reactive qualities back as I haven't felt as "bouncy" lately.
Wednesday I did 2 hours of skill work in a 90* gym. Ughhhh. I took a few videos that I'll rip off my phone later of a very lackluster 15 min dunk (attempt) session after the workout.
Thursday I planned to just shoot some but ended up playing an hour of half court ball, not real competitive but it was better than shooting by myself.
Today (Friday) I ran 3 hours of full court with the usual suspects (college guys, had two guys who said they played 'overseas' today as well). Got kind of chippy late but excellent workout. One of the overseas guys got put on a POSTER on an alley oop. Idk why he jumped, it was bad. I played decent enough, shot well and handles were on point, passes were a little off but, I just destroyed the guy who said he played pg overseas. Idk where, but he wasn't really.good at all. Slow, ok shot, not great at setting other guys up, not what I expected at all. Also, boomed a two handed putback in a half court set. Got way up on that one, surprised me a little. Planning to hit the weight room tonight if my legs come back around.

On time update! I know, its a shock. 
Monday June 16 2014
BW at 178lbs before session. Good.
Dynamic warmup/jumps/little treadmill work
Squats:
(Warmups) 135x5, 225x4b, 275x1b, 325x1b.
(Sets) 275x5b, 275x5b, 275x5b, 225x8b. Had a weird twinge in my quad in the hole on the 325. Had to drop it and re try. Stretched quad and had no issues on the 2nd attempt. Weird. The 225 backoffs I can almost jump squat, even with the bands. So much momentum and power from the quarter squat position and I just over power it. I want to move it up but not ready for 315/275 backoffs. May try 250 as a backoff as I want the speed element still. Idk.
Hypers:
45lb: x12, x12, x12
BW x15
Paused calf raise on leg press:
500lb: x12, x12, x12. Last set reps 10-12 were harder than last week. If I get this next week somewhat easily I'll reset to 550x8and work up again.
Finished with step ups again. Moved to 60lb DBs. Good burn on 3 sets. Sprinkled in some core work throughout, weighted crunches, leg lifts, decline crunches and some other junk. Abs are coming back in and thats a good sign.
