Did a pretty good job beating up my legs the last few workouts ... hoping im fresh enough to smash some quarter squats on thursday though. If my ankle feels better im going to play a game in the evening and may try some dunks or play it safe and leave dunks for sunday. That way i can get more healing in and prob do a refeed saturday so i'll be heavier sunday and it can be a weighted dunk workout. The problem with this plan of course is that i intend to do 6x6 squats on saturday and sprints (ankle willing) so legs wont be fresh .. will see how it goes. I will tape my ankle tonight as well, seems to have helped heal so far!

Watched olympics tonight... saw some 200m heats .. holy moly are these some beautifully built human specimens. I couldnt stand watching olympics before, too much shitty swimming .. but finally saw real olympians and it was impressive af. those massive legs .. and that's on the females lol. how. i want that. time to do some squats ;(

i ate 1 shake for meal 1. and for dinner i had 250g of chicken breast, 1 shake, and 500g of khichri which is a rice/lentil dish .. delicious but i have no idea about the macros... oh well doesnt matter

That's the thing that's 1000x better about being a sprinter than a basketball player...

Your female counterparts are beautiful and much more capable training partners!  Helps that their isn't a different sized ball.

lol .. i just flipped over from watching the australian women's basketball game to watch 100m women's hurdle heats. and i love basketball .. and im sure watching women's basketball is pleasing in a technical sense but idk but wud rather watch impressive athletes instead .. i know the aussie team has some kind of savant who is scoring 50pts in games or something but whatevs. it's amazing to me that these girls are running 12.xs times in hurdles when most ppl cudnt run 12s without the hurdles!!

Thank you. I will do submax jumping and bounding, better than nothing and probably better than trying to do too much or too little!

LMAO i have a strong prejudice against olympic swimming because of the australian obsession with the 'sport' .. even worse than acole i think, cos I dont even try to be balanced about it. bolt all the way. However, i love the idea of comparing athletes .. who is the greatest of all time? Who even makes the top 5? Does Lebron make the cut?

So yesterday pickup i went for a stupid block against this super tall guy (he's like 6'7-6'8") on a jumpshot and landed awkwardly on my left ankle.I hate that i even went for a block that way, it's so easy to get called for a foul if you make it a habit to lunge at the shooter. I shud go straight up. Stupid stupid.

I taped it up before sleeping and took it off in the morning .. feels ok to bear weight but i havent tested ROM. hoping i can train more or less normally tmr though.

BW: 78.9kg /

Kinda did a refeed last night so that would explain the 'spike'. But I look leaner for what it's worth. So when i shed this water weight im prob closer to 77kg than i have been in a while.

Not as sore as i expected. I thought i'd be a zombie today haha. May go pickup :) But sometimes these doms creep up on ya through the day and over 48hrs so that may still happen.

I'm thinking ive got a nice mix of training going now. Have included all these new exercises and im hitting PC/quads/bball/jumping/upper body/explosive/etc. Am dialed in on nutrition too and sticking to my 2cbpd thing as well. The only change im making is cutting out fast food / processed food in the next week. Wanna get rid of this gross hourglass shape asap before season starts mid sept.

Watch this space! In the future i wanna do more including:
- shorter sprints with more recovery
- boudns and stuff and throws (to make t0ddday happy)

im on track to curl 60kg for worksets which is good news for my girly 12" arms! quads may just grow now with partial squats hitting them pretty good. recovering ground on PC as well. Want to be repping 200kg for RDLs and BHTs. Squats are fucking embarassing right now but im convinced im on the right track with doing lots more volume. backoff sets of 6x6 for a start then i need to be using that amount of volume with heavier weight 120-130kg instead of ~100

Lol thanks for the mention!  But when you say season is starting I'm not sure if I'd recommend adding much bounding at this point... I mean I don't know what season is... If it's once a week games or something or practice and games multiple times a week... If it's the latter... I'd focus on keeping non basketball work to be pretty low impact... It sounds like your getting pretty good at basketball and from what you post this seems to be a big priority - I wouldn't want you to sabotage that...

I think i will be playing 1x a week but possibly 2x if i keep playing with my current team (not sure .. it's pretty bad lol). We'll see. And yeah practice 1x a week on top. It's a long season, 15wks .. so if it turns out we are a shit team i may not take it that seriously but i am hoping it will be decent because it's prob the best competition ive played in .. so that's exciting. I need to do a lot of work though, get in shape, work on my skills... not much time left (mid sept).

Cool workout.  I would recommend you drop the LPD for ZFDs and do fewer sets of WCU and mix in PXQs.

lmfao. :goodjobbro:

lol .. lat pull downs, weighted chinup (or curl depending on your perspective), cable row :P but point taken i can just write it out to be clearer than abbreviate

ya I imagine that is good for 12" arms.. my biceps are probably ~12", they are weak af.

obviously im not gna be doing 60kg curls with 12" arms haha .. they're gna be cheat curls .. but i did worksets of 55kg last wk and next workout im going for 57.5kg worksets. 60kg is just around the corner. Once ive mastered it for cheat curls .. i can prob do strict ones with say 50kg. And cheat curling 70kg prob get me to strict curl 60kg. I'm just being honest here .. the idea is when im doing strict 60kg curls i will prob get close to 15" and over which would be amazing :)
