Alright, game recap from last night...was a hell of a game, biggest lead on either side was 7 by us early in the 2nd half. I sat down with 5mins to go to catch a breather (I was guarding a 6'2" D2 point guard, signed at Delta State next year) and us up 4. They tied it up and I came back in with 1:30ish left. We go back and forth and I drill a step back 3 to go up 109-106. Devin (the d2 kid) comes right back and hits a ridiculous 12 foot bank shot. 109-108. We call time, side out play, I get a switch on a screen and have a huge mismatch off the bounce but our post throws it opposite side because they hard trapped him. Either way we stepped out of bounds on the baseline. They call time, we know were the ball is going, agree to foul before the shot (no foul shouts). Plan works, we hit Devin at the ft line on a drive with 1.2 seconds left. ....except they gave him continuation like its the NBA!! Ball goes through with .5 left but no one stopped the clock. Ball game.

We argued with the officials for minutes and they finally told us we couldn't get a shot off in a half second. I screamed BS and offered to have one of the opposing team throw me a pass to prove it and put .5 on tue clock. Granted no one was guarding me but the guy threw it at my knees, I caught it and swished a 25 footer off a invisible screen (just like a game situation)...ball clearly left my hand before the horn, everyone agreed. They wouldnt let us replay it though. Smh. I know we could have gotten a shot at a tip in.

Either way my release on my jumper is under .5 seconds lmao!

Went and shot around this morning for an hour to prepare for tonight's game. Shot ok and got a vid for you, would have shot more vids but didn't want to over due it. anyway without further ado....

Bodyweight was low. 176 morning weigh in, 179 pre workout. This always happens in season though so not really worried. Hope its mostly fat loss lol
No soreness/injuries from games this week.
Energy was ok, really want to just go jump though.

Dynamic warmup

Depth Jumps x2

Box Jumps x2

Deadlifts 225x3 275x3, 315x1 335x1 315x2, 275x2 225x3

Banded Squats 225x3 295x3, 315x1 365x1, 225x5. The 365 banded squat is a  woooohooo!!!! Man did it get heavy at the top.

Ham Curls 160x3 100x5

jump squats 60lbs x5 BW x5

calf raises 590lbs x5 x5.

Very light upper/core circuit.  Ok workout although my shins started bugging a little.  Iced them and they feel better this morning but its something I'm going to watch during season. I'd like to keep the volume around this level if it doesnt affect recovery for games.

 

Lol! Its cool Raptor. I know I don't have a lot of money currently. 1k/month house, car payments, two kids, school tuition for the fiancé, plenty of medical bills because she has ITP, etc etc. We'll be much better off once she finishes school. Until then I'm not really worried. If I get a nice promotion or something I may go get one but I'd rather give my kids everything my parents gave me and more.

Do explain? I realize its not the greatest video but seeing as I didn't even know he recorded it until he sent me the vid in a text message I figured it was better than nothing. Also considering this isn't the first video I've tossed up I'm slightly confused as to how you can compare me to someone who never (to my knowledge/understanding) posted any proof to his claims. So, Raptor, which should I do: not post up any video and just say it happened or post up what I was given regardless of clarity/quality?

No clue Raptor, he shot it on his phone so I I doubt it. if I had known he was going to film I would have told him to use my phone.

edit: turns out he has to lower the quality to send it to me otherwise its to big for his phone to send. Sorry guys.

Annnnd I feel bad lol! Huge props to her regardless of height. Marion Jones was said to have dunked at UNC a few times and shes 5'9" iirc.

I by no means am an expert but I do know what seems to have helped me. Last fall I was grinding out reps and lifting 'heavy' and I noticed some improvement in my SVJ but my RVJ (in particular my plant speed) really suffered. Since I lowered the weight a little and have focused on lifting faster (in both lift phases) my RVJ and plant speed have vastly improved and I've seen small improvement in my SVJ. The resistance bands I use currently help I'm sure as they force me down into the squat much quicker and make me finish reps instead of letting momentum take over.

Just my 2 cents.
