Rushed a very fast RFD home workout between ( yet another ) late-working day and going out to see the euro semifinal.
DB SWINGS:
15@20kg
20@10kg
20@10kg
20@10kg
-20kg was ok but kinda felt it in the lower back more than i wanted so went with 10kg. If i was at the gym id use 15 but at home i only have two 10kg dbs.
DB PUSH PRESS:
15@10kg each hand
15@10kg each hand
15@10kg each hand
15@10kg each hand
-Too light. Focused in 100% leg drive, hands just followed the weights going up. Was more like jumps squats with DBs on shoulders.
DEPTH JUMPS:
5@12''
5@12''
5@12''
5@12''
-Surprisingly nice. Very springy, smooth, high.

I have this recurring dream about dunking, pretty often. The setup ( gym players etc ) is always different. The recurring part is this : i try dunking, i get unnaturally high ( mid-forearm at rim, which coincidentally is exactly 40'' ) , but when i try to throw it down and flex my wrist in the rim, the ball is stuck in my hand, like it is glued. Then i land, and it is not glued anymore, i can dribble etc. I try a few more times and the same happens.
Then i stop and i am always delighted that i can get so high but frustrated the fucking ball won't release.

-Nice, much power. Not broken quads for push-off make a huge difference.

2@60kg
1@80kg
1@90kg
1@100kg

-Was supposed to do 4-7-7. Got greedy warming up and decided to max-out too.
Got 100kg ( 2 plates ) after 6 months.
Was not ATG like all the others, but was below parallel.
Kinda depressing how hard it was ( RPE 9.5, 1RM = 105kg tops ). Still motivating that i got it, progress is progress.
80kg before maxing flew up. 80kg after maxing felt like 95%RM. Got all reps though in great ATG form.
Also, I am logging this 1.5 days later, legs are annihilated , cant believe this, mostly glutes but also abductors, hamstrings, quads ( in and out ). Pain even when walking. Crazy.

-Can't keep knees locked @350lbs, they tend to bend a bit at concentric. Will stay at 300lbs for now and up volume.

Thanks! Yes , my pchain is definitely much stronger than my quads, always have been.
it's the weirdest thing when they "don't feel good" but you still PR. maybe our perception of "feeling good" is just wrecked.
Well, you know, it's kinda fake. You get a PR which was not feeling PR-ish, you hype thinking what will happen if you felt 100% too, but it doesn't happen, PRs happen when they are to happen, doesn't matter how they feel.
damn nice. that's good stuff.
tbh, seems like your body is loving these sprint/reactive/jump assistance sessions.
Mind is loving them too. Constant progress, new technique stuff, lifetime PRs etc. Plus the extra motivation of body composition benefits.
With jumps and squats i am stuck at a well-below-PR level currently, it is very demotivating honestly. I am fighting through it but i am not enjoying it.

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : little tight calves and glutes, little sore abs and traps
Injuries/aches : none
T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT
Week #8
Park day #2
Dynamic warmup
5 * standing broad jumps :
All 2,1m , one 2.25m
-Not good. Felt bad too.
3 * 4 DL bounds :
9.3m , 9.6m , 9.6m , two times lifetime
-Awesome, and they didn't even feel THAT good, felt i had better bounce in me.
3 * 60m @ 100% :
-Fast and bouncy. Self hand-timed, all below 10s which is great for me, probably closer to 9.5x.
5@150m @ 70%, starting every 2 minutes.
-Decreased hard acceleration time to ~7s as advised, upped the intensity of it a bit. Incredible. I was getting 32.x going totally relaxed.
Tried to relax even more at last lap to see what would happen. I was almost walking, so slow i actually for bored, still got 36s.

T0dday yes, i thought of that too, crazy in-compliance between height and reach.
The dunk is not THAT impressive too, but i couldn't find much. Sure, it is off one leg over a huge guy and in traffic. But i'd still expect to see something more from a guy with 11'6'' SVJ touch.
