just curious, do you play above the rim during your games? and how is it like?

Haha...yeah not really. I can dunk in isolation but putting it together in a game escapes me. Once I get there I will be sure to let you know though  :D

ah i see. i see from your log that you're a 2 foot jumper, so that makes sense too cause i feel like its very hard to be an ingame dunker off 2 feet.

I'm actually the opposite. SL jumper but wanted to be able to dunk from 2 feet under the rim hence the title. On the rare occasion that I get a chance to try and dunk I've managed to miss so far. Need a few more inches and it'll be a whole lot easier.

*Edit- I am 6'4 so it should be a whole lot easier for me than it currently is.

oh, i c. yea i think ingame dunks should be easier for you then being a 6'4 SL jumper. i've always thought it'd be nice to be able to finish 2 handed off 1 foot in transition, especially in more competitive games, which is why i tried to switch to going off 1 in 2015. not only is it cool, it's actually a legitimate play especially if defenders are trailing you because you can just take off smoothly and go up for the highest percentage shot in the game lol.

ha yeah it should be. I'm working more on dunking without having to palm the ball as that's my biggest drawback. Can dunk easily when palming the ball but without that I'm not confident enough.

i haven't listened to louie yet, i don't listen to most of joe rogans podcasts theres so many and most are with either comedians/ufc people. however the rhonda patrick ones are awesome.

yes sam harriss is awesome, love his stuff. his books too are great. i recently just read 'super intelligence' by nick bostrom, the kind of bible on AI - really really interesting stuff.

Yeah to someone who didn't know any better Louie would sound like an uneducated crackpot. Even Joe has some trouble believing some of the stuff he says. Lots of "huh" going on. Not as much as the Bilzerian podcast but still a decent amount. I love the UFC and all the Jiu-jitsu stuff so listen to a heap of Rogan.

I'll have to check that out. The whole AI thing is freaking me out a little bit tbh.

The only other one I listen to every now and then is Jay Ferruggia depending on the guest. He's gone away from a lot of the macho bullshit and a few are pretty interesting.

Ben Cousins has really spiralled down the wrong path since retirement. The only time you ever hear about him now is when he's getting arrested, which seems to be a yearly occurrence. The crystal pistol is frying his brain.

I would be surprised if he's still alive in 5 years time. Just cannot kick the habit. So sad.

21/10/16

Bodyweight at 90.9 this morning. First time sub 91 since June. Funny how the constant little progress is so motivating.

Squats and deads to come later.

Hell yea! Its the little stuff that provides motivation for sure. Whether its pushing through a bad day to have one shining moment or a day when you just feel good regardless of if you PR or not.

Yep. It's like when I play golf. I can have an absolutely shit game (because I'm generally pretty shit) but then there'll be that one or two shots that make you feel like you have some talent and they're the ones that keep you coming back.

Anybody into podcasts? they're pretty convenient, i listed to them all summer whilst working manual labour - basically learning and getting paid to do so. now its useful for like long journeys and standing in cues, doing housework etc. better than tv!
 

some of my favourites
-skeptics guide to universe (general science0
-tim ferris..
-joe rogan depending on who he's talking to, he just did one with louie simmons
-bbc4 do some good shorter ones
-dan carlins hardcore history is AMAZING

any other reccomendations?

I'm with you on Tim Ferris and Joe Rogan although pretty selective with both as they run so long. The Louie Simmons one was a pisser. If you didn't know better you would seriously question what he's on.

Have you listened to any Sam Harris? It's a little more full on but incredibly interesting. Especially his views on artificial intelligence.
Also, fitcast have some interesting guests every now and then.
I tried listening to the Jocko podcast after I heard him on Rogan and Ferris. Haven't really gotten into that one yet.

Ball game last night. First final which we won by 20 which means we're in the GF next week. Fairly low scoring but our defense was brilliant. Got a bit heated early on when I was repeatedly getting hacked. I unknowingly elbowed a guy on top of the head mid play which almost resulted in a fight. Lots of pushing and shoving for the next few minutes and I ended up subbing myself out for the last 6 minutes of the half so I didn't do anything stupid.

2nd half was great. They were running double teams on me so I gave off plenty of assists. Had two beautiful post moves late in the game. Legit shake and bake which resulted in easy baskets. Also delivered a great half court bounce pass through traffic for an easy score. It's the little things like this that make me want to keep playing.

Threw down a heap of dunks pre-game. Missed 1 of 7 attempts. Bodyweight was around 91.6 and I definitely noticed the difference. That combined with the recent track work made a huge difference. Would estimate about 30" from where I was hitting my forearm.

BW at 91.1 this morning so it's all going in the right direction.

my race is at a nice park i dunked at once (way back - glass backboard hoops).. might do some jumps (and maybe dunk attempts) after my race.

haahhaahh.

18m 5k and then smashes dunks. The other runners won't know what to do with themselves. 
 :ibrunning: :ibjumping: :motherofgod:

ahaha.. ya it would be weird. I bet the court is nowhere near the post-run area tho.

i probably have like 1% chance of landing a dunk after a 5k .... if i've been jumping. I haven't been jumping so .. I have more like a 0.1% chance. I'll bring my basketball though just in case. If anything i'll just get some jumps in for fun.

pc!

haha yeah I imagine it'd be hard the way you push yourself during a 5k. Would be a sweet vision though.

BW- 92ish

Squats-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 90 x 3, 105 x 1
115 x 4 , 100 x 7, 6 (miscounted and racked it early) - belted- getting used to the belt now. also knee sleeves were tight as fuck which was kinda cool. 1st set at 100 felt beautiful. Had good depth and it seemed to click. 115 felt easier than I thought it would.

Hip thrust-
60 x 10, 8 - felt like I was straining lower abs on 2nd set so called it early

Slant bench decline leg raise
bw x 6, 6

Incline bench
bar x 16 - just wanted to give this a go and see how I went. Shoulder felt pretty good. Rehab is definitely working.

First track day in ages. Felt great. Little rusty and unfit but good nonetheless. Beautiful 22 degrees outside too so perfect weather.

Squats and deads to hopefully come later.

It's funny how getting back on track can be so motivating. Feeling pretty good to get back into it. Will be nice to build some momentum again.

nice! how'd you feel during your sprints after all of that warmup/extended warmup/reactive work? i imagine pretty good.

Felt pretty damn awesome actually. Bouncy and flexible. Did not feel fast and fatigued pretty quickly bit other than that all good.
