10/13/2010 - DIDNT DO SHIT!

bw = 152
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left ankle, lower back
fatigue = medium



ok uh.. i spent ALL DAY (5pm - 5am) pretty much, editing this dunk video.. it should be epic, i did some very cool shit in it.. im rendering right now, will upload before i sleep.

got my weighted vest, no weight plates will fit in it etc, so i have to find my old ankle weight 'iron bars' (small weights), i should have a ton of those.

surprisingly i am 152 before sleeping, i think i burned like 2000 kcal just editing this video, brain power cardio.



peace

Brain power cardio ftw!! I eat so much when Im at school.

Whats your sleep schedule man? 6am to 2pm?

ya last few days though it's been 7-8am-3-4pm :< ... looks like ill be up late tonight too, i want to upload this video before i sleep, i love waking up to a bunch of comments on a video.. it honestly feels like christmas.. :/

- Hackers (not that epic, but for some reason I never get tired of it)
- In the hands of god (a movie about big wave surfers)
- Ong bak
- Tom yum goong

hackers was great, even though the actual hacking scenes were so pathetic, the movie itself is boss.. love that movie.

Thanks mang. And yeah, the braces are no fun. (especially getting them at my age) The first hour or two after I got them didn't feel too bad, but it started getting worse. My older brother gave me some words of comfort in a text message during lunch.

I quote.... "It's going to hurt like hell for a few days"

I figure I might as well let the pain in my mouth fuel my rage while I lift. (maybe it helps, I don't know)

Anyway. A.P. Day 9:

Rest day

Hamstrings are feeling sore from GHR yesterday, but it's not the painful soreness I was feeling last week. The soreness is kind of numbing and I can tell they're recovering and getting stronger, so it feels pretty good. During school I was running late, so I ran to a couple classes. I was surprised by how bouncy I felt even with my backpack on. Muscles are feeling like springs lately.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get onto the track and do a 110m hurdles endurance workout.

awesome:

that's a good sign man.. gotta keep this going.. all of my biggest pr's came when i feel very bouncy during everyday activities.. it's just so much more reflexive power/strength in every movement.

Bball practice.
Exhausting!
Got some good jumps in , all in extremely fatigued state , dropstep ~30'' , 2 and 3 steps mostly 32'' to 32,5''.
In a 2-step jump i got both hands 3d knuckle at rim.
In another 2-step jump touched  32'' on my way down , definately 33'' at peak , season best!

niiiiiice!$!@$

After seeing that everybody wanted me to dunk , tried 2 times but lost ball palming on my way up , FAIL!

ya but that's still a good sign when people want to see you dunk ;0

thanks man.

have you ever done anything like MR tuck jumps/pogos/depth drops for improving your force absorption?

I used to do 2 strenght days and then 1 jump/depth drops day and my vert went up and it was according to my strenght level but the 2" diference between my cmj and running was still there and then I lost some strenght lol and my vert went down.

ya well, that gap might increase a little, but it'll be nowhere near a "naturally reactive jumper's" gap.. i mean we have people on here with 10+" gaps between SVJ/RVJ, so, if you got 2-4" more inches of gap between SVJ/RVJ you'd be maxed out there.. it's doable with adding more reactive work, not only drops etc, but things like tuck jumps, pogos, low box dj's, sprints, etc.. the idea is to get the reactive work in with a higher frequency than you normally would, so, each training session you do (say you do 4 a week) would have reactive work in it.. this will help you achieve & maintain more "bounce" (reactive ability).

The funny thing is that 2 months later, after a night of alcohol (to clean my body and spirit) and only 4 hours of sleep, I went to the court and I was explosive as never before. I hitted my PRs and maybe 0.5-1" higher.

that is odd........ heh!

could have been some dehydration, not sure.. you weren't training leading up to that right, in those 2 months? if you weren't training, then that is odd.. if you were, then it makes more sense.
