Well, I don't post the lifts in the order I do them but I have done depth jumps post squats before (not immediately after but 10-15 minutes later). Why is that a bad thing?
Legit curiosity, i don't want to hurt myself doing something dumb.
Bodyweight at 179lbs (morning), 181lbs pre workout Good energy, no injuries or fatigue.
Banded Squats: 185x5 225x5 275x3; 325x3 x3 x3; 345x1 365x1(depth wasn't great, failed IMO) 325x5 (1/4 squats for speed). The bands are definitely helping force me to finish lifts out. the quarter squats at the end really hit the quads hard, hoping they'll translate to rvj decently.
Banded RDLs (deficit/off 4" box): 225x5 x5 245x3; 265x1 x1 x1; 295x1 (fail, I got the weight halfway up but couldn't power through the bands to lockout, tweaked my low back slightly as well so i dropped it, try again next week)
Jump squats: 5 w/50lbs, 5 w/ 80lbs, 5 at BW
Depth jumps/Bounds in series into box jump (18" boxes, 40" box jump to end): 6 circuits
calf raises on leg press machine: 6x3 at 550lbs
ham curls: 6x3 at 120lbs
KB swings: skipped
Finished with core work and tried a few jumps but my back was already tightening up so I skipped jumping as well. Ice, ibuprofen and rest, got to get healed up for Tuesdays game. I'm a little sore/tight this Morning (Sunday) but I'm full ROM and no sharp pains so I'm hoping I just pulled it a little. Had a great workout going up until then, these banded squats kick my ass. Good stuff.
UA, if you look at the fist vids vs that one you can see the difference in backboards/pads. In the first vids the pad is much lower than versus that goal as the backboards vary. hell, I'll measure it again next tuesday.
This is from the gym were the first vid is taken. It's "framed" better lol but damn I plant so slooooow. GAh!
And this one is from the same gym, I thought I'd deleted it after sending to my buddy but I guess not. Anyway its not a 40" jump but rather a weak ass one hander with no real run up. I looked at it closer and my wrist appears at the rim so it should be 37ish inches being that my reach is 7'6" (so 30" just to touch the rim). Ignore the commentary that was for him because he always says I can't dunk off one step lol which is usually true, I lose grip on the ball alot.
Ok, sorry this took so long guys, had a bunch of serious family stuff come up. Anyway I'll start with the beginning, Thursday night...
I got to the game 5 mins before tip off so I didn't get a chance to video any jumps before the game (don't worry lol), anyway tried to get loose and warm in that short time but that wasn't happening so on with the game. We ended up losing by 2 in double OT to a team that shouldn't have even been on the court with us. Looking back at the game they actually played very smart for this years new rules (no refs/FTs/call your own fouls...gay yes, but it saved someone money I guess SMDH). Bottom line? I have NEVER been fouled that many times. Every time I got the ball in any position to score, I got hacked. The guy guarding me straight up told me and I quote "hey, I'm not going to let you have any baskets, period" (this was after he had fouled me on back to back possessions). I'm a VERY chill/laid back individual that just loves to have fun but even I got angry at this BS and almost got in a fight midway through the second half. Anyway I missed a deep three with 6 seconds left that would have won the game so I'm pretty down on my performance. I ended up with 26 points and 11 rebs but neither my team or I got any rhythm going and we shot poorly. Our team captain had a small chat with the league director (who saw parts of the game) so we'll see if we get our refs back next year.
Since we went double OT I didn't get a chance to make multiple jumps/vids afterward I only got one shitty attempt in (I had just played 47 out of 50 mins lol)
For reference the pad on the backboard is 9'6 and I'm 5'11 in shoes. I appear to be a few inches short of the pad so I'd call this jump 37-38" at best IMO.
I will get a few more vids of better jumps for you all next week but in this vid you can see what I mean when I say I feel like I'm slowing down in my plant. I need to transition my speed better to see better results jumping ( or get stronger lol)
I have another workout tonight, almost time to go get it!
Oh as always, comments, questions, advice or observations are always welcome!
Alright, I spent most of the night at the hospital and Im at work now so I didnt get time to upload the vids off her phone but I do have a few. I'll update tonight after work for you guys.
Yea, I see that now that I read Rips thread more thoroughly Vag. Actually, its pretty funny lol!
Alrighty. This isnt the best but....its what I have right now. I was texting the fiance about you guys doubting me (I hate being doubted, I think a man is his word/reputation I do understand you're doubts though) and she says 'babe, I think I have an old vid on my phone' and then texted me this vid which IveACT uploaded to youtube (first upload ever woohoo!). Anyway shes says the file info dates it to Aug 3 2012.
Dayyyyuuuuuum. Lol! I just read the last page, ouch.
Don't worry I wont go claim a 50" running jump or 'low 4 40'. Hopefully, maybe, one day but definitely not.anytime soon lol! I'd be hard pressed to run a mid 4 right now by my guess. I will, however, promise not to act like a childish asshat and go off on everyone and cop an attitude lol! I understand the doubt and auch so I'll make sure to get a vid. I mean.....I did post that pic my buddy shot on page 3....jk jk vids>pics I know.
