^^ I'd rather drop the bar off behind me tbh

but the main reason I step so far back is because the damn gym floor isn't straight! where I'm standing its nice and level

super solid, good job.

Thanks. For some reason I feel it in my quads a ton, and not so much in my glutes and hamstrings. Any idea why this could be?

Not VMOs, but the center of the quads. Right in the middle of the hip flexors and knees.

I left the workout feeling very refreshed. I may permanantly move lateral raises to my back day. My shoulders feel awesome doing them on that day (maybe because I hit rear delts too on that day) and it also allows my squat workouts to not destroy me. I feel like my cortisol levels really rise when I do those lateral raises at the end (I get irritable, I can't even bother to listen to music so I stop it on my phone, and I don't feel like finishing the workout which is probably the biggest one).

Pissed I'm not under 195lbs yet. Been under 196 all of last week pretty much. Ate a ton of food yesterday though so I probably just gained water weight for today. But I do remember that in the past I while cutting I would stay the same weight for a long ass time and then drop 3lbs out of nowhere and maintain that 3lb loss. It's strange. So I'll be patient.

+120lbs of resistance at the top makes a huge difference man... wonder what your atg max would have been band-free

46" running VJ?! what was ur squat and bodyweight then? what depth did u squat to then?

just from your vids i could see that you were extremely reactive. i'm around your relative strength levels but not jumping nearly as high (though i havent practiced my jumps in months and months).

did you do any depth jumps and depth drops at around that time?

What are your current lifting and jumping stats? What were your all time bests?

could u link me to t0ddday's technique or whichever posts u were referencing in those journals? did some looking but dont see anything yet.


also i completely forgot that i used to be a one legged jumper. didnt even dunk off two feet until senior year of high school. then after the season i threw down that tomahawk. wow. me and raptor used to have very similar stats and everything, and i just went in one direction and he went in another.

i'm mostly impressed that you're getting that high off two with no arm swing.

That's the last time i tomahawked. The only time actually. Or maybe I did it a few times? Can't really remember. But yea since that month in april 2014 i haven't done it. almost 5 years ago.

I dont have an arm swing there but i figured out some technique with the ball where i kinda swing it down hard and i guess that overloads my jump in the way that swinging your arms down hard does.

that's the thing, though: swinging the ball down hard is a boost but can't come close to a full-amplitude arm swing. if you practiced a bit (t0ddday technique, see my or scooby's journals for an explanation) i bet you'd be at 40".

Yea a ball swing (ayyy lmao) wont work as well as an arm swing, but it does explain how i can get up pretty okay with a ball in my hands. when i learned that little trick i did notice i got higher with the ball.


I'll be checking out those journals to see what u mean. I think i can hit 40" running as well with a lot of practice for general movement efficiency (which i dont have rigth now), and then ACTUAL TECHNIQUE WORK!

Did my lateral raises that I missed out on yesterday but not the calf raises. Didn't do abs; they're still really sore from the rollouts on wednesday.

Did some jumping today! I can hang on the rim with one hand from a complete standstill pretty easily.



I threw down some two handers and it wasn't all that hard. Attempted a two hand tomahawk and screwed it up. It's within reach for sure. Just a week of more jumping practice and I can definitely throw one down again (for the first time in 5 years  :o)

I have a lot of jumping potential right now if I were to focus on it a lot. My jumps are not utilizing a lot of speed as they used to. I'm relying on brute strength a lot right now since I don't have the coordination to run up to the rim and seemingly just pop off the ground with minimal effort. Example of how i used to jump at 0:24 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SY8TZP747nI

Today my GCT's were pretty long. Knee bend is deeper.

However, my strength has been going up consistently so I'm not going to do anything to screw that up right now. I'll focus on practicing my jumps in a few months from now maybe. I'm 196lbs morning weight and squatting 330x6. If i can get down to 193lbs and do 345x6... I'll be killin it after some jump practice.
