Bodyweight: 76.5kg
Activity:

I kinda messed up with those weighted chinups. I know they torch my abs a lot but i did them anyway and ive had pretty sore abs to the point where it limits mobility. Feel better today than I did yesterday. Im gna try ice and rest and so on. Smash the protein and hope one more sleep gets them recovered enough for my first game tmr.

Otherwise, 76.5kg is a pretty damn perfect reading, what I may have expected and hoped for but not achieved perfectly another time. This means with some food and water in my gut im a leanish 77kg, adding clothes and shoes and maybe 79-80kg. Which is a decent weight for me where I can still play okay in the post. I dont want to spend much time in the post wrestling big dudes who have 30-40kg on me on D especially, hopefully can just play C and protect the rim and let someone else bang it out with the bigs.

Anyway, going to try real hard to limit activity to 6k today. Yesterday i messed up and broke my device's PR at 13.5k+ units. Im incorrigible...

Yes, 36'' vert is impressive on it's own, at your height and reach it gets... scary. Congratulations and keep it up!!!  :highfive:

Thanks vag :) Only thing scary about me is the mediocrity to athleticism ratio but i'll take it.

Faaarrrrk 36 inch vert you jump higher than me now :o

Can't wait to see some trick dunks coming :headbang:

Need way more vertical reserve to do anything significant. But recently ive been thinking ive got to practice on low rims (and use size 6 ball if it helps) to get technique down before  moving onto regulation rims. It's not important right now, 40" is more critical to success than anything else but will start doing the occasional low rim session just for fun.

Bodyweight: 76.8kg
Activity: 13.5k+ (oops; so much for rest.. haha)

I did a refeed last night .. pretty decent one, around 300g of carb/protein. Woke up looking pretty ripped so i must have nailed it. Had 4 scoops of icecream too haha. SO today im gonna do a proper rest. Tmr i will put up some shots, do a LIGHT workout and rest and shud be roughly peaky for saturday? Lets see. I shouldnt touch the fucking weightvest but ive made a deal with myself to limit weight to 6-7kg max.
I hit a PR of 36" on a vert test yesterday. Funny thing is i havent done a vert check much at all, maybe once about 3-4 years back. ANd i havent jumped at all seriously in 6 months due to injury. So i reckon if i get my ducks in order, im a 40" jumper. Have a vid on insta in any case.

Cayenne: 12g (PR!)

Rest dayyyyy, feeling pretty refresh tho! Thanks refeed. If there is some postrefeed water thing going on maybe i will be a bit lighter real soon? idk, lessc. Gna go back to sleep now tho. If i feel up to will go ball in the afternoon.
im still stuck on parsing while working on my programming language. lol. hopefully i can get that done today and move on to more exciting parts.
decent enuf day, navigated the potential obstacles in socialising by judicious use of diet soda and quest bars. Played some ball then went out with friends and ended it with hacking on my parser while watching a sunset at hte beach. good good.

Bodyweight: 76.1kg 
Activity: 9000

Training day finally!! I wanted to aim for something like 12k units of activity again but didnt sleep so idk if it's a)do-able or b)good idea. We'll see i guess. smh
Gna try do something special with back xtn tonight. Also have to bench/sprint/dunk. Yikes.
BS 3x120, 2x120, 3x120, 6x2x120
BP 1x90, 5x80, 5x78.5, 5x78, 6Fx72.5
Back Xtn 10x50(PR), 6x75(PR!!), 10x50(=PR)

Notes:
20 reps with 120kg, i think that's a good indication of im on the right track with my signature goal.

Wanted to dunk and sprint but the court was taken by some hoodlums and by the time i went to another court (Which was too dark i thought would be lit) and came back to the first court, my body had got cold. Even just an unweighted jump at the rim felt rusty in the quads, decided it wouldn't be a good session and bailed.

Some random thoughts & observations .. please discuss

1. My midsection startna looking somewhat solid.. i think the abz doms after reintroducing sprints may be related. you look at sprinters and they got those weirdly jacked obliques, i wonder if this is why lately i look less soft or fluffy or whatever lephumism fat ppl use. Anyone have any insight on this re their own experience?

2. watched video of me shooting around and i noticed when i shoot hte ball my feet are very close. i also suspect it's not too dissimilar when im dunking. does this mean im leaving athletic performance or accuracy on the table by not widening out slightly (not much, i mean r/n im maybe my feet are 6 inch apart. thoughts on this pls

3. i missed a beat by not fitting in some sort of hip hinge in my training. training economy and what not. Missing RDLs i think. need them as a staple i think for a lack of a pull, esp now that i dont do chinups either and my lats and upper back respond well to heavy rdls

4. holy shit creatine has been a godsend .. i rem how sore i'd get after playing bball a lot and it's made a diff to use dat celltech, will go off it after the comp tho but eventually i will come bakc on it when ive earned the right to use it..

5. reminder to try coges suggestion for icecream replacement tmr for the refeed. i cant with a straight face touch icecream ever again, it's too highly addictive, esp now that ive developed a taste for conneisur which is likke the only decent icecream you can get in the country .. i miss america

6. ALso thinking of getting a GHR or a gym membership with one, cos back xtn doesn't seem to have enough ROM in it after watching the Klokov 70kg vid again, i feel it's not apples to apples comparison what I did with my 75kg set..

the rom is so sexy on this exercise .. even with zero degree and unweighed, i cant do this ROM on my back xtn bench while holding plates .. and ive discussed how using a bar doesn't work (never ruled out the ez curl bar idea b/c i cant get my hands on both things at the same time :bench & bar) .. anyway i digress

7. any one wanna help me write a tapering program for the next 7 days? i managed to arrange a game for monday. so will train and lift monday. then was thinking take tues and weds off and train thurs (light). peaky saturday?

Bodyweight: 76.5kg (88kg with vest)
Activity: 7500+

Added 2kg to the vest to max out at 10kg. I think it's time to adjust to that then use it for training tmr including sprints etc. Will refeed also tmr. Not sure how long creatine takes to kick in but if adds some body weight and increased carbs (& calories) do also, but i lose some adipose in the next 7 days.. where do i end up on the scales? I think 77.5kg is reasonable? So long as it's a strong and leanish 77.5kg i shud feel pretty good about my athleticism for the tournament.
So had 2g, 2g and 3g of cayenne in 3 doses today. handled it ok but it's weird taking it fasted, feel sick but you can def feel the warmth.. maybe i'll adapt. 7g total, shud be up to 10g soon(20 caps)/day.

Bodyweight: 77kg (86kg w/ vest)
Activity: 12k+ (great!)

Maybe i'll recomp for a while tho.
OHP 2x57.5, 2x59.5(LPR), 0Fx60.5, 2x57.5, 2x58.5, 2x57.5, 0Fx57.5
Dunks ~ 20 (including weighted ones on the high rim, LPR)
Bball practice
BS 3x110(paused, LPR?), 6x100
DB OHP 6x20, 4Fx22.5, 6x20

Notes:
Didnt sprint but it's okay, next time. Just got caught up playing bball and i wont apologise for that given the need to get in shape for the tournament.
Bumped Cayenne caps to 6x500mg, 3g i think is what i recall reading in a study. However, i hope i can tolerate it b/c my stomach kinda felt off today. Am i being a pussy, is 3g a lot or nah? I love spicy food so idk i thought i had decent tolerance. Ok i checked and on examine.com they mention 10g, so i need to work up to 20 of these bitches. lmao.
Had shakes and chicken and rice. will treat myself to some PB&jam toast for dessert yay.
