There is some hip action there bro, look at the angle. It's kinda why i do heavy jump squats, similar angles. Only problem is i havent learnt to harness that "strength" for shooting (or jumping and running for that matter) .. once i do, it will be easy. The prob with using that for shooting i find is the shots come off too strong, cos i haven't learnt to do less with the arms/wrists. Once i figure out how to make the release softer while being powered mainly by hips my shot will be silky smooth. Probably. I dont know.

DOM report: calves status destroyed! L knee bugging.

I'm on a bit of a roll with eating clean. Hoping to continue it for the next 5 wks. If i can get through May while adding say 2.5kg to my backsquat and getting bodyweight under 80kg I'll be really happy. And ofcourse get better at bounds and stuff which will be my staple form of exercise while abroad.

Shooting practice:

Went to shoot around. I love how if i take N freethrows, i'll find N+1 different ways to shoot them. Consistency is lacking but I think that's predominantly a strength thing, fatigue sets in, and form fluctuates erratically.

Shud i try to find a shooting coach while in the states? I'm feeling pretty insecure to even bother someone with my awful hot mess of a technique. not to put a fine point on it, but it's not the technique that's worrying but just my general lack of athleticism / sportsmanlike ability for somoene who would have dealt with players far far far far better.  to add im actualy in a slump atm .. low esteem etc .. so it's not just a trivial thing .. stuff like this seems bigger than it should be .. anyway this is prob the wrong place for it

Stop.  Get out your head.  Best shooting coach I know is in Nyc, you gonna go there? I can refer you.

Your lack of athleticism is not a problem for a coach... Your coachability might be, but your lack of ability is what a coach looks for, your actually an ideal candidate. 

Not NYC this time .. mainly the west coast.  But that sounds good! 'll def ask you to refer me if i make my way to NYC some time. Probably my next trip whenever that will be..! 

Interesting DOMS. Pretty decent doms in my glutes! All i did was 6 reps of a heavy backsquat. There you go. 

BS 6x127.5(LPR)
Push Press 6x50, 6x60, 6x67.5(PR), 8x62.5(PR), 9x60(PR)

BW: 178.5 (LPR)

Squat notes:
Well damn, that PR came out of nowhere. I almost squatted 140kg but decided against it and put the bar back.  Who gives a fuck about a sub 1.8 ratio .. meaningless and it wuda been hard af too. Gonna hit up the court and do some bounds and dunks instaed. Will tape!

went to the court and competition have restarted so there was no courts available on both stadiums. Watched a game. Did some dunks between games (3 rvj, 3 svj). By the time i got back, the lights were off at hte park. So no bounds either. Oh well. Gives my ankle a bit more rest. It's still not 100% yet.

SO i dont know if it's the rest or what .. but holy crap do i look "jacked" lately .. upper body, legs, all of it! My shoulders and arms look bigger cold than they wud after a workout pumped.  I wonder if i missed a beat in doing TOO muh training and sacrificing gains of muscle? Less is more?

The reason Chris Webber went wild is because he had flashbacks to the 2002 WCF finals (NEVA FORGET!!!) when Kobe elbows Bibby in the face and has the audacity to shoot 2 FTs even though he should have been ejected for a flagrant 2 or something. To writ
