Always feels good to get a good workout in after thinking about skipping it!

Wrist after I cleaned it up. I measured and the cut is 8" below the tip of my finger which means this jump was at least 38". Not bad for two steps in a game! Stuff like this motivates me even more!

Got another in game dunk tonight in a pickup game! Woooohooo!! It was a tip jam in traffic, out jumped some taller guys and put it down! I was so amped up I didn't realize I cut my wrist open on the rim, not too bad though. I tried one over someone but he grabbed my arm on the way up and I got stuck on the rim. Either way awesome night. 
Oh and I consistently got my palm/wrist over the padding on the side of the backboard, didn't have a tape to measure it but if all padding is semi consistent then that should be low 40s. Will measure next Thursday!

Another (real lol) Standing vert test! CNS was definitely more recovered today but I can feel my body running out of energy quickly. Two more sessions this week and I'll have completed my 6 week "strength" cycle, I'll evaluate then whether to deload or try and peak first.I have some more vids from today, had a bit more bounce but I can't time lobs at all, I always slow up and it kills my jumps.

I'm guessing this is around 34 or so.

Agreed. The length of your last step makes you slow down into a jump stop almost. Try shortening it so.you can transition faster.

Thanks Loopie. Yea, I'm still learning and playing with this software and I'm semi lost. Hoping to get better with time. Really looking at some GoPros as I could use them for this AND for the cars but it'll be later this year before I pick one up probably.

Monday Aug 27 2013
Bodyweight: 172-174lbs.
Injuries/soreness: none.
Energy/focus: Ridiculous. I was determined not to have a shitty sessionafter Saturdays debacle. CNS was definitely on point and very focused mentally. Great feeling.
Warmups and jumps (I've been consciously eliminating the 'hop' in my SVJ attempts. We'll see Thursday if it helped. )
Banded squats:
225x5 275x1 315x1 385x1, 365x1 325x5 x5, 325x5 275x5. Didn't get all the way parallel on the 385 so no PR, just wanted to try it. Workset 325s flew up. If I have this kind of energy Friday I'll aim for 335s.
Paused calf raise:
610lbs x8, x8, x8.
Hypers
10, 10, 10.
Light lunges:
60lb x4 each leg.
Back/bicep/heavy core stuff. Shot around and submax jumped for 20 mins or so. Great great workout. Very pleased!

Ughhh late updates. Shit weekend.
Friday Aug 23 2013
Bodyweight 172-174lbs. Good energy, great focus. Definitely ready to lift.
warmup and jumps
Banded squats:
225x5 275x1 315x1 365x1, 365x1 325x5 x5, 325x5 275x4. Backed off the top set 10lbs, got the 325 sets easier than expected. Hell yea.
paused calf raise:
610lbs x8, x8, x8.
hypers:
3 sets of 10
back/bicep/heavy core circuits. Shot around and jumped very well afterwards. Awesome workout.
Sat Aug 24 2013
exact opposite of Friday. Drained from a double at work, then fell asleep right before lifting rocking my daughter to sleep. Never really woke back up.
energy non existent. Focus....sleepy.
Bodyweight 172-175lbs.
Deficit deadlift:
225x5 275x1 325x1 335x1, 335x1 315x3 x3, 315x3 225x5. Shit. Just just.
Jumpsquats:
50lbs x5, x5, BW x3. Bleh.
Ham curls:
120lbs x6, x6, x6. At least I got my assistance lift. :/
Skipped shooting and jumping, had nothing left.
moral: no napping directly before a workout lol
