not going to do a post game writeup of a stupid rec league game but i tried to do what i said above .. to mixed results. got some decent blocks and some sweet assists but i still think i shud make the room for sprinting. Even tho i loath them for killing my legs for other training maybe i can benefits even a little bit from it ... if nothign else, fitness/conditioning to ball harder for longer. tho if that's my aim i shud just play lots of games of 21 1v1 and 1v2 .. that gets me fit like nothing else

Kinda heavy lately ... been eating more food tryna get my lifts going. I know, but as long as i stay under 79kg it's ok. I do have to get to 77kg eventually tho but lemme get out of noman's land and closer to PR territory before finishing the job. I have developed an irrational fear of hunger .. esp at nights, my mind is that if i am hungry i wont sleep and if i dont sleep i wont be able to PR.. local PR that is...
Bball and lifting today .. exciting to see how i go .. thinking off adding back that plyo session i used to do on game days.. served me well before .. we'll see how it goes today

i did more squat vol than i have been for a while. I think that's the key forward.. need to be doing a lot more reps .. but i had to take some weight off. that's ok, volume will build work capacity which i can then use to lift more weight later down the line. make no mistake, i know until im repping 130kg for sets of 6, im weak as a kitten
damn these doms in glutes, hams and lats/tarps. forgot how goood these rdls/bhts were ... miss u. lets never grow apart again pls

back under 78 for the first time since getting sick. thougth i was at 79kg given the last week's readings but there ya go. It means i have one kilo less than i thought i had to lose.....
was thinking bout goals, and if im maintaining 79kg it means i need to -4kg adipose and +5kg lbm to end up at a lean and strong 80kg which is my end goal. If it's more like -3kg that makes the job easier... but not really, im gna have to dig deep to get to 77kg.

Have been sweets free for 2 days in a row. Tryna get that to 10...
Pretty sore today .. took a good hit to my left elbow yesterday warming up against someone by playing 1v1. it's pretty tender today, hope it heals quickly.
Have got asked to play for a (good) team in sept. Will try to get myself in shape by then, i wanna get off to a flying start and cement my place as a key player / starter. That's exciting. Need to be in good shape before that, so im just working on skills closer to game 1

Game was good. We won easy. i got some sick blocks. That elite rim protection!! didnt score but didnt take any FGAs so it's moot. Starting to feel it, was able to dunk today after like 2 week break... woooho. Just need to diet off the last 1.5kg of adipose and get my squat up by 15kg. Easy! Then i can peak and PR my vert ...

Notes:
Proper 6RM effort with that warmup LPR .. even good morning the 6th. Awesome. Stalled the double at 125kg, lost it forward out of the bottom ..that sucks, will try again saturday. Shud get 6x117.5kg and 2x125kg LPRs .. but it makes it intimidating to think i cud progress from there considering i'm so far from 2x130 and 2x140 and cutting is going to make things super hard from here. Sucks.

Have gym and bball game today. This shud get me a little leaner .. i wanna get back into the 77kgs asap .. that felt progressive unlike being in the 78kgs. Bball is the missing thing though, when im balling regularly it gets me leaner and fitter and i desperately need that after the sickness induced layoff. if i cant get it from bball i need to restart the sprints .. or both really, but im grossly unsatisfied with everything. my lifts, my conditoning, athleticism, name it. The only thing going for me right now is being kinda light but even that's threatening to disappear if i dont start eating cleaner..

Lol .. we got an icecream recovery support group going ... nice. My fav is cookies and cream by streets, they had it at $4.95 for 2L at the major supermarketchains in AU for a while. I cant find it any my local coles anymore and since i dont shop at whoolies, ive gone without it for a year or so. I cud sit down and eat the whole thing in one sitting. I think my record is 2 in one night. I ate 4L of icecream in a night.. no wonder im fat. I dont bring tubs home anymore .. i know how that ends. So instead i bring home 4 packs of magnum, usually almond which is my fav by far. The calories are pretty high tho cos they have more fat but at least the damage is capped. I have been icecream free for 1 day so far. If i can get that to 10 days, i'll prob have some body comp changes to report. Have more room to improve from there too ..
One think i really miss from the states is the amazing frozen yoghurt places ...we dont get those here. I'd kill for some nice toasted cocounut but the aussie flavours are just meh .. they dont do it for me at all
