Week 11
Height - 5'8.5"
weighed - 89.4kg (-0.9 ) 197lbs
waist - 36.75 inches (-3/8)
hip = 41.25
upper thigh = 26 1/8 (-1/8)

Tanita scale bodyfat% = 23.4 (-1.1%)

Total loss so far - weight  14.1kg 31lbs  Waist 6 1/8 inches  BF% Tanita 10.1%

I was much lighter a few days ago, so I gained some water from the carbs last night.
I'm actually 88.8kg right now in clothes  ;)
Same for my waist size, should be much lower, but I think my spinal erectors blew up this week.
And I guess my hips as well, since no size difference  ;D

--

erectors still pretty sore.
feel tired from yesterday.

Going to take it easy today, so I can be fresher for jumps and weights tommorrow

At 5'9" and getting his head over the rim height, that's around 50+ inches  :ibjumping:

I know he lifts weights as he mentioned in one of his instagram posts

Finally really dunking. I have been quitely and patiently recovering and getting strength back. Heading to the end of heavy lifting, pleasantly surprised that I jumped well. Normally in strength phase there is a big decrease in vertical leap.
Don't care about the hashtags

Thursday 31st October 2019

A little beat up from yesterday and CNS feels lower in juice

soft tissue work and release session at home

bodyweight without shoes - 89.5kg

fasted

BBall practice session - 46 mins
dribble, shooting practice, intense moves and layups
A few jumps at the end

Jumps were crap


--
resistance at the outdoor courts

single leg calf raise - BW x16, x12

alternating sets - 1.5 mins rest
pushups - feet elevated 24 inches - 6 inch hand width -  BW x15, x8
inverted row on stair railing - undergrip - BW x9, slightly shortened leg length  x9

Narrowed hand width on pushups, feels more stable and it doesn't bother my shoulders.
A bit more tricep.

back at home

facing down garage slope, in oly shoes

rotating sets between the squats
front squat all paused 40kg x3 , 60kg x3
controlled down, paused, explode up - 80kg x3 - last rep hard

High-mid bar squat 40kg x2 hold at bottom for 10 deep breaths each rep, 60kg x5 (paused)
controlled down, paused, explode up - 80kg x5
regular reps - 70kg x 12 - last rep hard


clean grip deadlift + RDL combo - deadlift, lowered to knee, RDL back up, then lowered under control RDL style back to floor 80kg x 8 combos -  4 reps normal, 4 reps hooked grip

split leg deadlift - rear leg out at an angle 50kg x10 each side, with 2 minutes rest

front squat support 100kg x32 secs, 90kg x 40 secs

high angle single arm row, elbow out
24kg kettlebell -  x16, x12

Kettbell swing 24kg 2x12

One arm loaded carries 24kg kettlebell x 40-45secs walk around front yards, each side

released upper traps on loaded bar
banded elbow wall walk x 40 secs 
a few reps of various band face pulls variants

stretch

Ok session, quite long....
Squats at 80kg felt quite hard. Front squats felt close to limit, but looked easy on video...
Strained mid outer back on third rep  :(

Surprised I got 12 reps with 70kg though, was aiming for 10.
A gain from the 60kg x 10 I did a few sessions back, at the same level of effort on last rep.

Increased time of front squat supports so they are starting to get a tiny bit easier...

Trying out the kettlebell swings, nice glute activation.

3400 calorie burn for today, not including weights
ate 1600 calories

Got my full length Tesla compression pants, will try it on tonight when sleeping to see if it helps local muscle recovery.

soft tissue work at home
Still achey all over.
Left shoulder banged up from last time... I think I tore my labrum from hanging on the netball rim to stretch   :huh:

fasted

bodyweight without shoes - 90.5kg

BBall practice session - 63 mins

dribble, shooting practice, and few easy layups etc
10 or so medium effort jumps

Injured left shoulder made things hard, but I managed.

Today was the first time I tried out calf length compression tights, cheap ass Tesla ones from Amazon, in black camo pattern  8)



Size large, which fit well with a fair bit of compression.
I don't know if it's a placebo effect of not, but all the covered parts felt great, like they were under pain killers...  :ninja:
And usually after BBall I have low level aches and inflammed feeling in my legs and hips, and none today!
My lower calves weren't covered and they felt worse.

Warm day, yet my legs and crotch stayed cool and dry.
I'm impressed so I ordered another full length dark camo and a dark green camo ones - will likely need a smaller size when I'm ripped, but they are so cheap compared to the big name brands, that it's no big deal.
Gonna try out some Tesla compression tops as well, but I usually go topless for the tan outdoors, but more for when I'm sleeping and see if it helps local muscle recovery.
Waiting on my only pair to dry right now after washing, and will test out sleeping in it.

Squats next time could feel even better in these
Now I can wear my old shorty shorts and still remain stylish and not worry about exposing myself when sitting down or stretching  :derp:


stretch

72 mins walking, with rests
Felt great, no aches in my tights compressed legs and hips, only my feet/ankles were killing me   ;D
Also no chance of thigh chaffing with the tights on.

Lazy programming tip:

Take any generally decent hypertrophy program, add 2-3 heavy singles (RPE 7-9ish) before the volume work for your main lifts, and you have yourself a pretty good year-round strength program for intermediate lifters.

heavy duty tissue work and release session at home

bodyweight without shoes - 90.2kg

fasted

BBall practice session - 78 mins
dribble, shooting practice, intense moves and layups
A ton of jumps and lobs/jumps/dunks on 8 feet netball rim after 35 mins

vertical jump - half hand over 9 feet = 24 inches (+1 inch)
running left right jump - solid touch on 9.5 feet backboard = 26.5 (+1.5 inches)
running 1 leg jump, 1 knuckle to 9 feet = 21 inches (+1 inch)


Finally some jump gains! Gained across the board on all jumps
After a few casual run up jumps I was 1-2 inches under the 9.5 feet backboard. Then did a good runup, and tapped it easy, but wasn't able to match it again :/
Just did one vertical and 1 single leg jump and both were higher.
Also tried some backboard tap layups and just barely made them with 2 knuckles over 9 feet backboard :)

resistance at the outdoor courts

single leg calf raise - 10 sec eccentric, 10 sec ISO at middle and bottom, explode up - BW x5

alternating sets - 1 mins rest
pushups - feet elevated 24 inches - BW x14 +2.5, x8
inverted row on stair railing - undergrip - BW x10, x 6

Gaining reps, all to the limit just about.

back at home

facing down garage slope, in oly shoes

rotating sets between the squats
front squat 40kg x3 , 60kg x2
controlled down, paused, explode up - 77.5kg x3

High-mid bar squat 40kg x2 hold at bottom for 10 deep breaths each rep, 60kg x5 (paused)
controlled down, paused, explode up - 77.5kg x5
regular reps - 90kg x 6 - last rep hard
90kg x 3

clean grip deadlift + RDL combo - deadlift, lowered to knee, RDL back up, then lowered under control RDL style back to floor 77.5kg x 8 combos -  4 reps normal, 4 reps hooked grip

split leg deadlift - rear leg out at an angle 50kg x9 each side, with 2 minutes rest

front squat support 100kg x30 secs, 90kg x 30 secs - hard and shakey on last 10 secs of each set

high angle single arm row, elbow out
24kg kettlebell -  x15, x12

Dip shrugs - BWx 12

One arm loaded carries 24kg kettlebell x 40-45secs walk around front yards, each side - felt easier than last session

released upper traps on loaded bar
banded elbow wall walk x 40 secs 

stretch

Solid session, getting stronger, and so maybe also getting bigger, on a hefty calorie deficit  :strong: :o
The difference between fasting and regular calorie restriction in effect, and better nutrient partitioning

Front squats are feeling harder, getting close to limit, will see how 80kg feels next session. If too hard I will do a holding pattern until it feels easier.
Shifted to right leg on 6th rep of 90kg back squats, when straining. Might be an imbalance.

===

3700 calorie burn for today, not including weights
weights would most likely add a good 300 on top, especially the high rep deadlift sets...read a study that showed a set of 10 deadlifts can burn 100 calories.....about the same as a 400 m sprint  :ninja:
Will likely eat 2000 calories

Week 10
Height - 5'8.5"
weighed - 90.3kg (-0.5 ) 199lbs
waist - 37 1/8 inches (-5/8)
hip = 41.25 (-7/8)
upper thigh = 26.25 (-1/8)

Tanita scale bodyfat% = 24.5 (-1.1%)

Total loss so far - weight  13.2kg 29lbs  Waist 5.75 inches  BF% Tanita 9%

Ehh not much weight lost, but it's probably due to food weight from last night... I need a laxative   :trollface:
Also not much leg size lost compared to hip and waist, so it appears I'm gaining muscle mass there.
Which may have blunted the weight drop.

The next 4 weeks should finally get me into the bodyfat% and weight where I start get more explosive, although my relative strength is still well down.
Legs are down in size from the past - I usually have 26.5 inch upper legs with a 33-34 inch waist when I'm getting to rim level off a step

Good sleep

Still some aches in my glute/hammie/adductor tie in areas.
Overall feel fresher than I have in a while.
