LBSS, standard dogma says it gives your abs something to push against and this works them harder. IDK, dont have a horse in this race, dont use a belt but that;s what they claim.

It's worthwhile mentioning that when squatting with a belt tonight I felt my legs way more than I usually would. Not sure if this is normal though. Felt good.

Yeah that's the beauty of using a belt. And it purportedly makes your abs bigger too. It's a panacea for some. I have an article on the training board about a study showing the use of a belt allows you to train your legs better!

BW: 79kg (yikes!)

That was a dirty AF refeed last night. I finished off the icecream in teh freezer and then ate a whole load of banana bread. That was after eating dinner lol. I once figured out that a day like this costs 4 more days of dieting. The opportunistic cost is the extra days of dieting to make up the deficit and the days to diet offf the extra fat gained. So yeah not good. But hopefully it will get me back on track training-wise .. cos i was starting to struggle a little.

Shoes / Re: A shoe specifically for dunking

I'm actually pretty happy with my Kobe's they're not heavy at all and lowtop, comparable to my running shoes .. the only problem is, and this is a deal breaker ... is that they're not flexible on the top so i dont get much dorsiflexion (?). if i can find a pair of shoes that have that as well i'll be super happy for a dunking shoe (and general basketball).

BW: 78kg / 172lb

Seems im maintaining this bodyweight but getting leaner so whatevs. But i do need to see the scale read 77kg EVENTUALLY and sooner rather than later.. cos then i can stop this riduculous fasting on off days (see prvious post for a sample of an off day's eating.. i'll fast alll day and have a shake at 5pm).

Trainin today. I really really wanna add anothe sprint session per week. i feel like i shud be doing either shorter sprints (60m?) or intervals, maybe even 3 different sessions  of 60m, 100m and ~100m intervals. Will figure it out, have to remember better to improve everything simultaneously than over-specialise in any one thing .. for now, it's all GPP.

Need more dunking as well but im working on fixing that too..

 Yep he was just sat there playing on his phone listening to music and i aksed him and he obliged. Worked out well that way. I felt more bouncy earlier when i dunked .. was my hand in the rim pretty deep but that clip was taken after playing about 5 pickup games so fatigue had accumulated a little. Still fun though. I am a lot fitter now .. wud not be able to touch the rim after doing 6x6 squats thhe previous day.

As always it's impossible to tell cause and effect ....... BUT ...

i felt so 'quick' today playing ball .. was easily blowing past defender at will ..

may blame it on the sprints from last saturday?

Putting 1 + 1 together to make 3, i wonder if i can get that same bouncy feeling while sprinting after I did bounds for a while and training my PC in the weight room --> even more quickness and speed in games? Maybe.. It's all tantalising :)

Happy with training, am leaning out, getting stronger, getting fitter, getting quicker and covering all the bases (lifting, running, jumping and sports) all at once without neglecting anything. Bring on the next 8 weeks.. so pumped..

Quarter squats are helping my backsquat!!!!!!!!!! My finishing strength on backsquats has improved incredibly. Im snapping them out piston like once ive gotten past the sticking point. Today my hamstrings were DED .. even warmups with 70kg indicated that much, however, so good is my glute/quad strength now i can still knock out a 6rm effort explosively (thanks to quarters). Fuck dogma .. fuck all that stupid 'ATG or nothing' bs .. it's complete nonsense.

Here is the plan for the next 8 weeks. I want 6x6x127.5kg @77kg bodyweight. I wont settle for 4 sets or 5 sets with 1 done with a belt. 6x6x127.5 @ 77kg rawdog .. no belt no wraps no creatine, no gomad, just balls.  A complete list of lifts:
6x6x127.5kg bs @ 77kg
200kg bht worksets
180-200kg RDL worksets
180-200kg quarter squat worksets


After 8 weeks, the following things will still be available, unused in my toolbox: 1. creatine, 2. belt, 3. knee sleeves,  4. stimulants like synephrine and L-tyrosine and 5. Not cutting and even gaining weight.

Rain ruined my saturday training :( Fuck it. i'll try again tmr. Here is the plan if things go accordingly:

0. weighted chinups, lat pull downs, cable row, 60KG CHEAT CURLS
1. 100m sprints
2. dunks (if legs permit)
3. pickup

all of that shud be do-able so long as the sun comes out.. .
