1½ hours full court bball.
Same old story : Endurance/fit keeps getting better, legs feel stiff/tight/unrecovered/not bouncy.
Legs did feel a bit better this time though. Maybe it does relate to the increased buffer in yesterday's MSEM squats. Or maybe it is that i stretched a couple of days ago after idk, 2 months?  :P

3@50kg
2@57,5kg ( +2,5 kg ) , ( -1 rep ) , 2RM  :personal-record:
-That is the most weight i have ever pushed above my head. Was a bit shaky.. Inability to dump is really restrictive.

1@100kg
1@100kg ( -2,5kg )

INCLINE (45') DB PRESS:
12@22kg each hand
12@22kg each hand
12@22kg each hand
-I can go heavier, limiting factor = setup.

TRICEPS PUSH DOWN:
10@150lbs

10@150lbs
10@150lbs
-Felt a tiny bit easier. Maybe i can try upping. Or add a couple reps, chase 4x12 before i attempt 4x10@160.

I may have serious objections in a few things there ( much fewer than i would expect though ) , but i can do nothing but applaud the 'truthiness' of this spot.
Real talk, all out confession, takes some guts to do that, bravo!
Now we should return this journal to its owner.  :P

^That is interesting.
I do my share of paused reps though, and i do mix them with no-pause, just not in the same set. One of the two week days of squatting is 3x5 ATG paused, followed by 20RM not paused. Also all my warm-up sets are always paused.
As for LTMP, it is not the mobility that i am after, but a safe / effective / performance-oriented way to utilize high frequency. Mobility is an added benefit. Take a look in adarqui's blog posts about them if you haven't, interesting stuff said there:

Never heard of him, suddenly he is in a TFB video looking down the rim...

Funny that you mention LTMP. After that post i did last Friday, about acquiring access to an extra gym and making daily training possible, i was thinking what to do to take full advantage of it. LTMP came to my mind and i was re-reading the thread this weekend. I will definitely come back at you about this in a month or so, want to make a new plan then.

7 days vertical jump cure routine.
-Weak front plank ( 30s was almost fail ), weak BSS iso hold ( fail 60s, could only hold 45s each side ). All other easy.

DB SHRUG:
4x15@10kg each hand.
-DBs too light so did them paused ( 1s hold on top of each rep ).

Stretch quads, hamstrings, groin, calves.
-So much tightness.

Damnit, of course, the 30th year is still in the 2nd decade.
That means my wish has just been transformed to a curse, no matter what you do you have to be in your 30s to dunk.  :o
I'll make an exception and accept that you are legally 30 from January 1st 2016, 2016 -1986 = 30, that's how the law is here. ;)

The bad news: Was a hectic week, extra work load with coinciding errands ( those bitches always attack in groups ). Was supposed to do some cardio on Tuesday, lift on Wednesday and full court bball Thursday but none of that happened.
The good news: Got access to an extra gym. Nothing special, small with no free weights. But it does have treadmills, bikes, DBs, and and a few machines. It is also ultra convenient to go. What does that mean? DAILY TRAINING BB!!!! Can finally add the missing links of cardio&core, plus some accessory stuff i might have been missing.
Gonna start easy for now, then i guess that in around 1 month ( which coincides with Xmas ) will reevaluate and build a new program.
Awesomeness!!!

so begins my 30th trip around the sun.

n00b !!!  :P

Happy bday, happy 30s decade, may it include a 10' dunk ( among with other  less important issues, such as health and happiness ).
