Looking good man. As long as the deadlifts don't interfere with the plyos (meaning - they don't generate too much soreness that limits the plyo days) then it's all good.
Yeah for sure, just gonna keep them light (no heavier than what I did last night) and mix it up with some 45deg hypers

Week 1 of Joel Smith's SRVJ program - Weights#1

Deadlift: 3x8@176lbs

Clean: 4x5@75lbs (don't lol at the weight, haven't done these in awhile so easing into it)

Barbell Box step-ups, 12'': 3x6/leg@154lbs

Dumbbell calf raise: 3x20/leg@55lbs

Jump squats: 3x15@45lbs

Bench: 3x8@176lbs

Made a few modifications including: deadlifts to start to keep up strength development of my hamstrings, more calf raise reps and extra jump squat set

Sick man! That pic of you standing next to those other dunkers made my day. Getting jelly legs is so common during the first few events you enter in a relatively new environment  - I remember when I was running state meets for the first time the adrenalin just got to me and I ran like crap compared to what I usually ran. Considering this was your first contest and it was the freaking Sprite Slam dunk showdown I'm surprised your legs didn't drop out altogether! Nice work.

Yeah we'll see how it goes.

You're familiar with snatches and cleans, is your form good, or will you replace these with jumpsquats?

Yeah most of last year before I was vert training I was primarily doing upper body at the gym including heavy bench, bit of snatch, clean, push press etc. Nothing intense but I've done them before at least and didn't kill myself! The newer exercises for me are the jumpsquats and barbell step-up, haven't done much of them before.

About 3.5 hrs of ball today.

I had a few test jumps to see where I'm at. The rings at the YMCA I played at were def legit 10'. SVJs were pretty crap actually, only around 30'', a bit off my PR or 32''. Legs just weren't feeling it so didn't try too many. SLRVJs were hitting at my knuckles (~33-33.5''). Not bad for a quick test before ball and not really getting psyched up at all.

Decided I'm gonna start doing the Joel Smith SLRVJ peak cycle over the next few weeks and really focus on improving my SLRVJ:

I think it'll work well for me because I've got my bounding down pretty good over the past few weeks, and it incorporates some exercises that are pretty new for me so should see some solid results hopefully  ;D

Thanks man! I have been focusing on it pretty hard for the last few months...

That's crazy volume? How's that? :D

Haha yeah you're right...2x bounding sessions a week (some with weighted vest) as well as 2x gym work is pretty easy now I think about it  :D . Although having said that, I really like the look of it for me personally. I'm pretty much where you were when you started it two yrs ago, ~33-34'' SL jumper, and I'm definitely looking to change up my routine a bit.

Looks solid. The first two weeks of the cycle would be hard as hell, crazy amount of volume!

Hmm I'm currently around 34''ish on my SLRVJ with a 7'6.5'' reach. I reckon I need about 6'' over the rim to dunk it on an alley-oop or maybe off the dribble palming it. I'm about 3-4'' over the ring atm (depending on ring of course) so maybe another 2-3''? Getting close, whatever it is...just gotta keep working at it!

BRO!  Keep working man.  you're really close.  inches are really hard to gain though.  it really comes down to consistency and intensity and intelligence.  I'm sure you know that by now though.

Keep it up!  as soon as you dunk, I wanna see some vids!  because that type of progress is impressive!

Thanks man.

Well I got a fucking corked thigh AGAIN in bball last night...i seem to have thighs that are at a perfect height for big men to drive their knees into - it's really fucking annoying!! But I got ice onto it straight away and it already feels better than usual. So I should be good to go tomoro or at the latest, two days. Very annoying because I was looking for some squat PRs this week but I don't think it's gonna happen now.

(To add insult to injury we lost last night bad...just did not play good team ball and played a zone when we should have manned up - other team dropped three or four zone busting shots in a row before we switched. I had like 3 pts 1-2FG, 1-2FT in about 8-10mins before I got hurt and sat out).

3 hours of 4v4 yesterday.

Man, my hamstrings are sore from Friday and yesterday. I'm def gonna put more of a focus on strengthening them over the next few weeks, think that's gonna help a lot.

That's cool dude, we're both at the same place right now.  Two single leg jumpers, who need 2-3" more.  Let's hope we both get it sooner rather than later. 

Yeah for sure, good luck man.

Bball

47-23W, 3-10FG, no FT, 4assts, few boards, steals, 1 turnover (WEAK charge)

Well this was a good win but it felt like a loss, they were the bottom team and we just played like shit. I had a great first half (3-4) then I proceeded to go 0-6 in the second. We just weren't getting calls, the refs were calling weak as shit blocking fouls but not calling any shooting fouls on the wrists, arms...all six of my second half shots were missed layups in traffic, did not go to the line once  :rant:

Haha anyway a win is a win.

Speaking of work...

Track

Dynamic warmup/stretch

4x50m sprints

3x20 pogos

4x8/leg single leg bounds for speed

3x10 tuck jumps

Gym

BSS: 3x10@88lbs

Unilateral calf raises: 2x25 holding 50lbs

45deg hyper: 3x10-12@35lbs

I kept it pretty easy today cos I had a flu shot earlier (I'm going overseas in about 6 weeks for a month). When I was in the doctors they asked me when I last went and I couldn't remember, it's been at least 5+ years...the benefits of staying active and not being fat and unhealthy!
