Squats
[135,185,225 x6][275,325 x4][365x2][385,405 x1]
- 405 1x1

* empty BW 194.5lbs. maintaining 194.5lb consistently now. the lifts are easy today. i had saturday off and that extra day of rest made a difference. i could have gone for my work sets of 4reps but getting to the gym at 8am without a strong pre-workout breakfast/dinner is not a good idea.
* next workout is on tuesday. skipped jumps today. want to get 425x2-4 soon and just focus on jumps after that.

why not rotate based on fatigue, instead of a 7 day period? A few of these sessions lately, you rest one extra day and come back very strong.. should just rotate through without woring about wed/sun etc.

?

^ repeatable sub-max jumps are higher and easier. i dont go for max jumps without some sort of squat delaod.  its either the low intensity 18/24" DJ, or the added leg mass, or both..  i can grab rim with both hands consistently and with less effort.

if i need to really put effort in grabbing rim with 2 hands and miss it for a couple of attempts - thats the sign i look for that im not explosive. so far i can always grab rim even on first rep.. so im happy with my jumps. id say repeatable 34-36" while doing 405s.

nice!!!!

merry christmas man!
loving the jumps, you got some ghetto hoops around there

thanks man, ya we got tons of courts.. will be fun to dunk on all of em`.

ya def looks much higher

coo, most people think it does so glad i'm not the only one, definitely felt high as fuck to me when i was there.. heh!






12/25/2010 x-mas, air-jesus style

bw = 155
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left knee achy (from stretching my ankles last night, sitting on my ankles), right peroneal
fatigue = high as F
diet = alot of stuff

tired as hell today.. very odd.

workout #1:
- 6 mile walk with interval sprints mixed in
- for the first 2 miles, i could barely jog, my right lower leg felt so bad, so i sat on a bus stop bench and went to town on my peroneal, massive trigger points,... spent 15 minutes murdering it, then it felt fine the rest of the training.. did it again around mile 4 just in case.. i could feel the muscle in question that i fixed the trigger point in, it was causing so much weird feeling in my ankle/calf until i released it.

workout #2:
- half squat: a little higher: 305 x 7
- half squats, normal depth: 285 x 10, 265 x 12, 245 x 15, 225 x 20, wanted 135 x whatever but was raining too hard

had 2 squat in the rain..

legs were TOAST tonight though, prior to squatting and during walk etc.



recovery: currently foam rolling with PVC/baseball, lots of pain.. my fascia feels horrible.


gonna dunk monday

peace

I've had the most incredible dream... I've never heard anything similar yet, so to me it's a "wonder" of a dream if you will:

First off, I remember I was playing basketball on an outside court and the coach of that "streetball team" was Stan Van Gundy. It's interesting because I went to bed thinking about how Orlando is going to play Indiana that night (middle of the night here in Romania), and SVG is the coach of the Magic. Then I remember I needed another basketball and met with Miles from here, who was going to the gym at that location and he gave me one ball that was kind of slippery and then another one that was more "streetball" and with better grip.

THEN - this incredibile thing happened: I somehow went to listen to a music videoclip. This clip was being sang by 5 people, looked like a 70's band. The main singer was from Romania but moved to the USA some time ago, and looked a bit like Benny Hill.

When they started singing - it was just incredible. The music was incredible and their voices were incredible. The voices were digitized - meaning the voices were going through synthesizers (you know, like in the 70's).

The incredible thing is this - how could the human brain create a music dynamics between five voices, percussion instruments, synthesizers, sincops (there were these as well, where the music would stop and one voice would be heard) ON THE FLY?????????????????? How can that even be possible??? I mean, I could accept that if it didn't make sense as music, like random music "ramblings". But this song, everything about it, made PERFECT sense like it was god-written if you will, like a great composer made it

It just blows my mind. Think about it - songs are being made over long periods of time, with notes, instrument dynamics being considered, analysis etc. How could my brain create something that made perfect sense ON THE FLY???

And no, I can't reproduce the song, but I remember it to great detail in a non-musical way. I remember the clip, the faces singing, one was entering a bar and then the instruments stopped (sincope) and there was a lone voice singing, I remember all this, but I don't remember the music. I remember these things and I can associate the figures with what was happening music wise - but other than the voices being synthesized, I can't give any further details. It just made perfect sense in my head and I don't think, one bit, that it just an impression because I have a "vivid" memory of the song but I can't express it.

To me, this is just one of the most unbelievable things I've ever been through, and probably will be a long time from now.

PS. Oh yeah, and I remember CharlieA returned to TVS. In my dream that is. He was saying a big mistake was to eat something, and then immediately try to eat again (wtf).

ya that's interesting how the brain can manufacture such impressive "music" and scenery.. it really is a masterpiece in evolution.

ya i think it's safe to say he's hit some 38+ RVJ's in the nba, definitely have seen him with the top of his head at or near rim level.

he could have had a bad day during the combine measurments, you never know, but more likely, is that he just jumps higher in games with more "adrenaline" flowing.
