BW: 77.4kg / 170.6lb (LPR)

getting close to breaking into the 160s ... so that's something. decided to go play pickup and it was a lot better than thursday. it's coming back but im still playing like complete shit so nothing to celebrate either. my shots were falling a lot better though.

trying to force myself to lift but my heart isnt in it and it's cold as fuck

BW: 78.3kg / 172.6lb

BS 6x70, 6x110
OHP 6x50
shooting session (what a shitshow)

Notes:
when your warmup feels like an RM after the first 2 reps and you still have another 4 to go. awesome.. building from scratch is so great!!! I prob wont be fully recovered for a while ... got no energy after these sets .. feel exhausted

cud hardly put up a 3pt attempt without straining .. lmao .. airballed a few ... gave up

i havent seen my own form, it's what they said, prob exaggaration on their part tho but i dont need a big run up like most ppl do around there.. maybe. when i shoot from half court i have trouble taking enough off that the ball doesn't clear the top of the backboard .. i do think it's a great warmup tho, makes 3s feel submax afterwards. also think using a heavy ball does the same thing, potentiation or whatever.

i got sick and to make matters worse, i binged on junk food. i didnt do a long postmortem on the two girls i was seeing this winter but cut a long story short, last saturday it all blew up and i lost my chance with both. so being sick and stuff is just the icing on the cake. really wanted to peak for pickup today but i had to struggle just to get out of bed .. lol

hopefully i can train tmr, i wanna go hard on squats and or bball ... lets see how my body goes recovering from this cold (?) or flu (?) or hwatever this is

BW: 79.5kg / 175.3lb

That's bettter, im ok with weighing that much .. lol. Ate a ton last night, force feeding myself the following: double cheeseburger, grilled chicken burger, 2 magnum icecreams and a whey shake. Pretty sore but not half as bad as expected. phew. I wanna 'peak' athletically at pickup tmr. Think i will do a squat and bench session prior to ball though? Just cos if i dont lift then, it may be a while before i do, maybe weds if i also ball monday. so we'll see how it goes. Thing is i cant do half measures, will prob force some PRs if i do lift wjhich will hurt performance on the court probably

but my body comp is going the right way even eating all this food to sustain training ... i feel bad i wish i was still shedding bodyfat at a higher clip but it's a temporary trade off

here is what it looks like for the rest of the week...

fri: off
sat: lift (if not balling sunday)
sun: ball (if didnt lift sat)
mon: rest (prob but i may ball if i didnt ball sunday)

need to peak, need to lose this extra deadweight ive gained this week from eating junk everyday .. i wasnt logging but life stuff blah blah

want to get my squat at 130kg for reps then peak athleticism, then repeat, something like that

lmao at my plans. fri being off didnt happen.the young wolf asked if i wanted to shoot around and only shoot around. then proceeded to run us throgh the most exhausting bball workout ive had ever, lol. i was gone within the first few sets, then we did another 20 lol. so yeah, well laid plans..

but i must say it's nice to be training with a basketball prodigy. if i worked this hard all the time i'd actually be a much better pllayer. im not saying 10% better, maybe as much as 30% or something significant. after he leaves, i have to find another training partner willing to work as hard or harder and keep it up.

in the meantime im gonna put lifting on a hold, rest saturday, sunday either we ball hard and skip monday. or rest sunday and ball out monday. that's the last window to train with him. fuck.

Well that was interesting.. we played 3 games of 2v2 and i won 2 of them. wud have won all 3 but my conditioning gave way and i kinda played like shit anyways, but good enough to win. have some vid, wasnt fresh enough to dunk convincingly.. still. if we play again this weekend, im gonna rest, otherwise i guess i'll lift saturday? will see how it goes. i wanna peak ON VIDEO with the young wolf before he leaves
