Went to the gym today just to move around some, roll a lot and stretch a lot.

Shoot hoops x 20-25 mins -- money in the bank, shorty whatcha drank. Could not miss.
EDIT: Interspersed were ~15 DLRVJs -- best was about 30.5", most 29.5-30, pretty weak, was thinking about the runup too much
jump rope incl double unders practice -- totaled about 50 double unders and a bunch more stuff
row x 2000m, easy if inconsistent pace, ~8:30

SMR x25-30 mins
stretch x15 mins

Felt nice.

hahaha lol'd.

Thought I would post this here because this is a huge achievement for me, 2+ years in the making.

The rim outside is ~9'8. When I first started training for vert in late summer of 2008 I could not even touch the 9'8 rim, I was probably about 3-4 inches away. So now,over 2 years later, I have thrown down my first dunks on that rim so it is a huge deal to me. It seems surreal to me that I am less than 4 inches away from dunking on a 10' rim. Before I started training for vert I could only get about the top knot on the net.

Vert for indoor session is probably about 33", outdoor session was at least 34" I would say, but not positive.

Special thanks to adarq for all the help with training, wouldn't be getting up this high without him. Also thanks to everyone on here who has encouraged me.

GO GET IT

topic stickied.. very happy for you arowe, that is some serious improvement over 2 years, you should be proud you hung in there and achieved this goal... i have no doubt you will throw one down just as hard on 10' if you keep going.

glad i could be of help along the way too!

peace man!

That video is fucking sick, man!

thanks alot man, i got some interesting feedback/responses from that video..

10-10-10 and 10-11-10

Tennis ball dunks on indoor 10' are on 10-10-10, outdoor dunks on 9'8 are on 10-11-10.

Dunks on 10' I wasn't getting up my highest, they were probably 33". The dunks on 9'8 I was getting up a lot better, if the rim is 9'8 it looks like I was getting my whole hand an inch above it which would be 34.5" but idk, hard to tell.

Enjoy

bw = 151
soreness = hamstrings/lats/chest
aches/injuries = not much
fatigue = high

man i am so depleted right now.. funny

---

workout: played basketball, 1 game, 4 on 4, after shooting around for a bit.. actually played good and im fatigued as shit, with some good competition.. my defense was legit, locked down this fast/good point guard, he was killing everyone game before, word... jumper was inches short for the most part, but i did hit 4 shots, should have hit ~5 more shots though for sure.

- dips: 5 x 5
- barbell bicep curl: 45 lb @ 5 x 12 <-- lol

video editing,

kinda cool, a bit sloppy but i will eventually master this stuff.

nice video

I usually eat at least an hour before any session. Yesterday I had an early session since there was no school. Eggs with onion, tomato and bell pepper and some spinach and green tea. Hydration wasn't too much of an issue yesterday. But even when I hadn't eaten much, the first day back in training after being at the hospital every evening, the same thing happened, but I only dry heaved. The food is definitely more than I used to eat, but it's not like I'm stuffing myself every meal. By the time I get to my session I feel pretty normal. (Not hungry/not heavy.)

odd... hopefully this stops happening pretty soon, not sure about this.. usually people who puke during sessions of 400's (lactic work), they have a history of it.
