What's gonna be your plan of attack when training for your L-SLRVJ?

Yo! Pretty simple for now. My main goal right now is to get back into "boxing shape", which I felt was the (healthiest) best shape I've ever been in. That was around 2006-2008. My training then was 2x/day, some combo of boxing/sparring/heavy bag/running/jump rope/bodyweight exercises etc. However, the tools will be much different this time.

So I have a few things all coming together simultaneously:
- get my bodyweight down to ~150 (first goal is 160)
- keep improving my fitness & reactivity via these jog, jump, and sprint sessions
- eventually throw in some other reactive movements; single & double leg bounds, MR tuck jumps, MR stiff leg ankle hops
- focus on a few strength lifts: ssbar deep squat, plate swings, maybe some flat/overhead pressing dno (tennis effects it), some unilateral lower body lift. Everything in the higher rep ranges for now (10-20).
- throw in some bodyweight movements: single leg squat, variations of pullups/chinups etc, parallel bar dips, some core stuff, single/double leg calf raises
- eventually ~2 jump sessions per week initially? not sure yet. I have sooo much progress I need to make in work capacity/general fitness.
- lots of stretching; I need to permanently fix this "tightness" issue. (especially in my adductors/hamstrings/calfs, quads/hip flexors too but easier to improve)
- eat extremely healthy
- eat less meat/chicken, more veggies/fruit/beans, less dairy
- get my sleep cycle in check (i'd like to sleep at 11/12 and wakeup at 6-7).. This is a big one for me. When I'm in "obsessed programmer mode", my sleep sched drifts to falling asleep at 4-6 AM, it's very very bad... especially when you have work. It's probably actually deadly).. so trying to turn this around and never go back to my chaotic sleep schedule (which is also bad for my brain/heart)
- lots of fun tennis

It might seem like alot (or not), but that's just the "overall" strategy. If you look at my goals, you'll see why overall fitness is so important:

1. compete in tennis tournaments
2. compete in 5k runs
3. eventually be able to do dunk sessions? (would be amazing to re-acquire that).

If/when I do some jump sessions, I also won't be using "caffeine" as a stimulant. I quit coffee/caffeine almost a year ago now. Soo, no nutritional stimulants whatsoever that can give that extra inch or so.

You see i'm also focused on getting lighter. My body definitely isn't meant to be "heavy". My heaviest while being a super computer nerd in 2014 was 207. Eek.

The lack of absolute strength focus means I probably won't be jumping double leg much at all tbh. My DLRVJ really sucks right now. I'd be surprised if I can hit the rim. My L-SLRVJ is much better, decent considering. I've always wanted an impressive SLRVJ too soo, going to really focus on that. I loved the speed component & the "effortlessness" of SLRVJ's.

Eventually this could become another Age vs Vertical thread :F (shouts vag!) ... Considering i'm 33 right now.

peace man!

cool. Why is he suggesting low rim dunking? Also how low?

Your main goal right now is to consistently get vert up? or to land a dunk on 10'?

I drink it, tastes like shit but it cleans you out haha

wtf??? I can't even imagine drinking epsom.

I've heard of people drinking epsom salts, but, never knew anyone who actually did it. How does it clean you out? You just take massive dumps? I used to do that when I ate my 10+ bananas per day.

and thanks, I miss the days where I was doing 405 for 10 but eh I'll get there in time

Also, the song that got me jacked up for it was Hall of Fame by idk script or something

AAND what inspired me to do that metcon was dan baileys video of his team doing the 150 wallballs, grace, randy and diane  but only 1 person did each soo i said fuck it, gonna try it out haha.

cool. post that vid. i wanna check it out.

Hello everybody! 

been busy with work and stuff, but i still find time to hit the gym, though definitely not at the consistency of old.
also due to the fact that im balling more, so if i needed to be fresh, i skip gym for that week.

bw = 169
soreness = lots

Session

lefty tennis:
- 1.5 hours
- finally hitting some nice forehands


Session

jog, jump, and sprint:
- ~7 mi
- some nice jumps mixed in: L-SLRVJ has some nice pop to it
- mixing all of these things in one continuous session is weird but amazing


I think when i'm down to 160, i'll go do some jumps indoor to see where i'm at. I'd be focusing on L-SLRVJ primarily.

Was going to lift after but, didn't have enough time.

pC!

yo seifullaah,

have you been stretching your quads/hip flexors post workout? i see you have stretching in the cooldown, just wondering though.

my calfs are crazy tight too, i've been using my fingers/thumbs instead of rolling them.
