Back finally felt normal during the day on Thursday so I decided I'd try some lifting. Felt great to be back in the gym. I've lost a few pounds in the last week and a half and weighed in at 182lb in the morning so I was worried slightly that my lifts would be down with the weight loss combined with not lifting in a minute. Work was cancelled because of snow/ice so I got in the gym around 3pm versus 11pm which also felt really good. Anyways, didn't try to do too much but it felt good so back up to a full routine Monday!

Went and played about two hours of halfcourt ball, back felt much improved tonight. If it isn't sore and doesnt tighten up tomorrow I'm going to attempt to lift Friday. Very excited about that. The games are really helping my quickness/cuts/etc. I can see a marked improvement in my first step and acceleration from a few weeks ago.

League play starts Feb 7th1st and I cant wait!!!

Yea he dunked on us a few times lol! Real cool down to earth dude though.

Backs still uncomfortable in certain motions/actions so I skipped lifting and went and walked/jogged for awhile to get some blood flowing and loosen up. Shot around some just to practice the jumper/handle, all slow speed stuff, nothing game speed. Felt ok so I decided to try a few jumps....its uncomfortable on takeoff but not painful, slight twitch/spasm when I land. I think in a few more days it should be good.

On another note I signed my team up for the local rec league which starts in February. Last year fames were Tues/Thurs so I'm going to have to switch up how I'm lifting. Im thinking a volume day on Friday and a light weight/effort day on Sunday or Monday.

Bodyweight at 186lbs. Go to the gym late around 11pm but had good energy, back was a little sore due to a car accident Sunday night (yea I'm pissed, guy didn't have his lights on at 10pm FML) but loosened up as I started lifting.

Not too bad, but wasn't the best. Probably will rest tomorrow and Wed if my back is tight again in the morning.

He's just so damn quick. Its sickening. (5'10" dude)

I wonder how tall he is?

Edit: he's 6'3". And the more I watch the replays...the more I think he 'double jumped'. Regardless....sick dunk.

Thanks Vag, I couldn't get it too embed on my phone for some dumb reason.

 
And to think that kids only in 10ththe grade?!?!?!?!?!?! WTF. Nasty
