Friday Oct 4 2013

BW at 173-176lbs.
Energy was ok, been slacking on my sleep 'resolution' lately.
Soreness seems to be gone, good!

Warmups+jumps

Squat:
(Warmup) 225x3 275x2 315x1 365x1 405x1
(Worksets, banded) 335x5 x5, 335x5 x5 225x3(speed). 335 is a struggle for all sets, few more sessions before adding weight.

Paused calf raises on leg press:
640lbs x8, x8, x8 w/ 450lb x15 supersetted. Last reps are killer lol!

Hypers:
25lbs x10, x10, x10. With added weight I feel it more in the hams. Cool.

Lunges:
50lbs x?? Lol didn't keep track, just some unilateral assistance work. :)

Back/bicep/shoulders and heavy core/ab work. 30 mins of shooting as a cool down. Good workout.

Skipped Sat session due to some unforseen circumstances. Going to try and get a few light reps in tonight to keep form. We'll see.

Weighted planks, wipers, hanging leg raises with holds,  resistance banded trunk twists.  I switch it up consistently.

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure WHY but I know it works. Mine just so happened to coincide with my conscious effort to stabilize my core. Just my opinion of course.

Maybe? I just know I used to maintain a vertical posture on my jumps before lifting weights, then I started lifting and I could "feel" my body collapsing under the new strength I had...and I didn't jump much higher. So I started working on my core more and now my jumps closely resemble my natural jumping motion (pre weight lifting) and I'm jumping higher, noticeably. Just my real world experience.

Standing vert and running vert have different mechanics IMO. In a SVJ you want to recruit as much power as possible, for some people that includes a deep bend (see: KF) others (like me) have very little or no bending at the waist.

In a DLRVJ...I think the folding is core weakness. You can't physically transfer the horizontal speed to vertical speed due to lack of stability and your body folds/bends/breaks at the waist due to these forces (when approaching at max speed on a runup). To this end I say watch Jordan Kilganon, Gerald Green, Young Hollywood, TDub they all keep a straight back, no energy/power wasted from unnecessary movement and they tramsfer from horizontal to vertical faster than those who fold. Basically, if you're folding you can benefit from a stronger core.

Core strength and stability imo. Collapsing at the waist is wasted energy.

Age is nothing but a number. How many miles are on those legs is the important question and how seriously do you take care of them?

Right. Very high RFD. And to think his vert wasn't that great when he started.(6'1" ish/couldn't dunk) Insane improvement and should be huge motivation for all on this forum!!!
