Well, stayed off the ankle as much as possibly Sunday and did some ice/compression before bed and it appears normal this morning? Guess I'm going to give it a shot tonight.  Weird.

Sat Sept 14 2013

Bodyweight at 173-174lbs.
Felt good, good energy, got to gym early.

Only got a partial workout in, handful of sprints and most of my upperbody work and core stability stuff. Went to do a warmup set on deadlift and noticed the outside of my right ankle was swollen. Put the weight down and checked it out, no pain and I have a full ROM still but definitely swollen. To be safe I didnt finish the sets. Went home and stretched and iced it hard. Swelling is down this morning so im not sure whats going on. Going to stay off it today and see how it responds tomorrow. Very disappointed last night.

Super late update lol!


Monday Sept 9 2013

BW at 173-175lbs.
Soreness: Hamstrings majorly, wow, guessing from the sprints. Went 90%away during warmups though.
Energy/Focus: Great.

Warmup

depth drops:
5 reps for 3 sets. Box height around 46"

depth jumps (18" box):
5x3. Each set gets better, good.

pogos:
10x2 height. 10x1 speed.

10x3 w/ 10lbs. Seemed to hit hams more than low back with weight added even small weight.

calf raises:
610lbs x8, x8.

Squats (no bands):
225x5 paused, 225x3 275x1 315x1 365x1 385x1 405x1 415x1. Better depth on 415, still not good enough.

Banded quarter squats (supramax):
455(+120)x10. Set pins to mimic my RVJ knee bend.

Back/bicep/heavy core/ab circuit. Shooting and a handful of very weak dunks as a cooldown.

Skipped Tuesdays session due to some important family stuff.

Today :) (Thursday the 12th) went and did my bball skills work, got about halfway done and some guys came in so ended up playing for two hours lol! Jumper and handle were very dialed in from skill work, game came very easy. I didn't FEEL like I was going tobe very bouncy tonight, wasn't 'amped up' or overly excited, very relaxed but apparently I was wrong. Got out there playing and was VERY bouncy. Had 3 dunks in 2 games and missed one more when I may have overpowered it lol! First dunk I thought I was going to miss, came off a pick and rolled into the lane got a very nice bounce pass. Was going to take a dribble and go for the dunk but saw the rotation coming quick so i just jumped from the middle of the paint and got a big (for me lol) one hander. Completely surprised me considering the distance. Best feeling as I was running back down on D I saw a kid that had just arrived literally had his head in his hands and his expression was priceless, complete WTF. Second dunk wasn't the cleanest but got one in on a baseline drive. Missed a putback off the back of the rim, tried to tear the rim off and that didn't work lol! Last dunk was probably on of my best ever, got a 2 on none fastbreak and my buddy just left it off the glass and I crushed it, was definitely up on that one. Got a clean two hander of glass after the game too, very good night!!  :headbang: Can't wait to lift tomorrow!

Sat Sept 7 2013

BW @ 174-176. :/ may have ate a little much today :)
Energy was very good, focus was great.

warmup

Sprints:
Did a ladder style 20-40-60-100-60-40-20. 2 circuits. These sucked I haven't ran outside a game in months and it showed.Completely slow and out of shape for these.

Box jumps:
2 sets of 5 Increasing height.

Ham curls:
140lbs x3, x3. 50lbs x20.

Deadlift:
135x5 225x3 4" (deficit), 275x1 315x1 355x1 375f. 355 went up relatively easy. 375 started easy but my back felt weird, didnt push it. My low back is definitely stopping me from expressing power in the deadlift, going to work on that.

Chest/tricep and core stability circuit. Hit the chest hard, ughh. Really want to get back to 225x10 reps for some reason. Got 225x5.

Did some SAQ and dot drills and ended with shooting some. Good workout, disappointed in my deadlift. Looking back I'm not sure if the sprints fatigued me or my low back is weak (I know it is) or a combo. Bah.

Very good read man. All he says in there goes right along with what feels natural for me when lifting.

Friday Sept 6 2013

Bodyweight at 173-175lbs
Energy and focus were extremely high, definitely ready today!

Warmup

depth drops:
5 reps/ 3 sets. Probably a little low, ~40" box. Going to go higher next time.

depth jumps (18" box):
5x3. Last set had a noticeable increase in height. Nice.

pogos:
10 rep x2 for height. 1 set of 10 solely for GCT.

hypers:
10, 10, 10.

calf raises:
610lbs x8, x8.

Squats (no bands):
225x5 paused, 225x3, 275x1 315x1 365x1 385x1 405x1 415x1. 415 wasn't quite to parallel.  :/ The 405 matches a PR but at ~12lbs lighter BW iirc. I'd have to go back and check. Either way good stuff.

Banded quarter squats (supramax):
455(+120)x10 for speed. OMG. Lol!

Back/bicep/heavy core and ab circuit. Cooled down with some shooting, handful of jumps but nothing crazy given the volume of jumps already.

Did a 2 hour conditioning/bball workout today. Ugh. Felt dead afterwards but decided to jump a little anyway after a 5 minute breather.  Broke out a weight belt (think like weight vest) that I've had forever and never used, loaded it with 10lbs and jumped with it for 15 minutes. Crazy difference 10obs makes. After about 15 minutes I sort of got used to it and was able to put a few dunks down. Dropped the belt and wow, felt super light! Easy dunks for the next few minutes. Great feeling!

Yea, I've had severe ADHD since I was very young (I'm always that annoyingly bouncy kid lol) and my brain moves 9 million mph at night. Over the years I've gotten better at forcing myself to sleep but only once I'm semi tired.

I am getting around 6 hours consistently the last few days however, I feel a little more awake in the mornings now. Good sign.

Ok, I took a few days completely off (minus stretching) and was itching to do something so I went and ran a few games of full court hoops. Was a little rusty the first game, started feeling better the second and destroyed the 3rd. Game was to 21 by ones and twos and I scored the last 9 points to bring us back from 17-11 to win 21-19. :D Had a couple ex college players (D2 guys) out tonight so that feels really good.

Had one chance at a dunk off a breakaway steal but laid it up since it was a one point game and a 6'4" guy had a decent angle on me. Put down some nice ones in between games tho including a nice two hander that my buddy peft off glass. :)
