Couldn't sleep, day off yesterday was messing with me I believe. So...I drove 30mins to a 24/7 gym and balled for an hour or so. :) Only a handful of guys there, one game of 3s  and a few one on one games was all I got it. Handle and jumper were very tight tonight, broke one poor guy real bad on a hesitation cross and step back move, had him sitting indian style on tje floor. :)

Right knee was semi sore after a few games, not sure whats up with that so I wasn't jumping to well, got a handful of simple dunks and called it quits with the knee bugging. Stretched and iced and now I'm going to go sleep. :)

Then...the only explanation is that your slightly off center in the air when fully extended thus putting your arm higher(higher reach) but pulling your left side down and by relation your head slightly?

Shrug. :D

This is easy....measure to your elbow. Your elbow is basically at the rim so there's your answer! :)

Maybe you stretch out more during a dunk?

Maybe you'll lose some fat and get in better shape then. I still think that you could continue gaining strength but your diet/recovery would need to be on point.

I always thought you were taller, hmm, I'd say 36-38 then. Hard to judge but decent estimate IMO. :/

Skipped last nights scheduled lifts. Had some out of town family stuff and didn't get in til 1am. Extra rest day shouldn't hurt too much. :/

First off don't cut straight to sub 2000kcal. Do it gradually over a few weeks. Cutting everything quick like that is counter productive as it puts your body in a 'survival' mode. Do a gradual cut and eat healthier and you'll gain strength AND drop fat. You just have to face it, you can't maximize your potential if you don't eat right.

Hell, I'd bet money that if you just ate cleaner and lifted you'd cut BF%.

How tall are you again? Looks like mid 30s if your 6'2-3ish?

1437
You don't need to sacrifice strength to 'get skinny' at your BF%. Just cut fat, get gains.

I'm ordering a copy tonight based on a few guys recommendations on here.

Low back pain sucks. I never had any issues until my car wreck in January and now my low back flares up occasionally.  Going to a therapist Wednesday to see if we can prehab it and maybe fix it. Lately what Ive been doing if it locks up (sort of spasms and locks, cant really move for awhile then its just sore) has been ice/heat and anti inflammatory junk (ibuprofen). Usually I'm better after a few days.

Good luck man!

Friday Aug 9 2013

Bodyweight: 172-175lbs. Didn't eat very well/clean today, energy suffered.
No injuries/soreness.
As mentioned energy down, maybe 5/10. Good mentally though, pushing through the end of this sinus infection/crap.

Banded squats:
225x5 275x1 315x1 365x1, 365x1 (struggle) 315x5 x5, 315x5 275x2 225x3 (basically a jump squat on those lol, will be moving back offs to straight 275s)

Calf raise in leg press:
590lbs x8, x8, x8. Going to go up a little next session.

Hypers 3 sets of 12. Getting easier, will add light weight next.

Back/bicep/light shoulder work and heavy ab work. Having four days of varying ab work seems to be cutting BF%. Was raining and I was drained so skipped jumping. Ok workout, 5/10.
