151029 Olifting class session 10 tonight
I resumed Heavy lifting once a week on sunday morning ( squating 315lbs 4 set of 3 and deadlifting a few more set/rep after)
also resumed Jump training at lunch, doing Tooday method, 1 step jump, 2 step jump and work up to 3 step jump.
I try to get about 20 jump in total during my jump training lunch session. But with limited time. this mean i do not have proper warm up... the initial 7-10 jump usually end up as warm up. (First 3 or 5 jump might not be able to tip the rim)
However, I changed the jump session a little this week, instead of jump 20 times, I spent my time doing 4 depth drops, followed with full court Sprint with 4 depth jump. for a total of 4 Sprint, and 3 set of Depth jump. With this in place, i am able to touch the rim on my very first jumnp and reach over in my 3rd jump. I end up doing 5 rep of 1 steps, 5 rep of 2 step and 5 reps of 3 steps jump.
see how things go with this change.
nice.. i used to love performing several short sprints before i'd start jumping.. really wakes you up.
Olimpic lifting is hard, I am getting the technique and form back after 2 sessions resumed from holiday. However, even with proper technique, i am not able to lift Fast. Coach is not letting me lift heavy... i am still just lifting 40kg. which is useless for vertical development.
is like having 10lbs, 20lbs,40lbs gloves, for boxing training. I am able to throw punch with 40lbs. but i am slow.
ok lets do 20lbs... and i am faster.. ok lets do 10lbs.. it is easy BUT i am still not FAST enough.
the coach and throw punch fast at 10, 20 and even 40. Able to throw punch is not enough, able to throw it FAST is the key.
JUST like vertical jumping.
now.. i am stuck at Light weight gloves.... because even though I can go heavier... but i am not able to go fast... even when it is light.
both the coach and me.. is trying to figur thing out.
one more update, i tried 45 hrs fasting with drinking water last weekend. did not feel anything special...but i lost 8lbs.
some more research show for athlete performance, intermittent fasting is the way to go. which is just an 16 hr fast (skipping breakfast only)
Which i find it pretty dumb as so many people skip breakfast caz they are late to work..
anyway, i gave it a try and did it today.. will see how things go.
Talked to Kadour, and because of his religion, he fast also... twice a week no eating or drinking.
In general I feel good skipping meals and eating light.. but when I dunked, I couldn't skip meals or dunk on an empty stomach. If I dunked in the morning, I'd go for milk + coffee/cappuccino powder. This helped me feel very alert and "jittery" (caffeine) but without the weakness i'd feel if I skipped a meal. The feeling of "slightly hungry, jittery, alert, aggressive, and possible pooping way too much" is when I jumped my best.. lmao .. Oh also, the previous meal (the night before), I'd load up on bananas and some protein, so that come morning, i'd have everything digested and I was ready to go.
My pre-dunking meal was always very light (like I mentioned before).
I'm not a caffeine drinker anymore so.. Right now i'm just drinking orange juice in the morning before I train. Does the job for tennis/running etc.
pc!
