About 20-30 minutes on my main compound lift for the day whether that's bench or squat and than anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour on assistance exercises depending on the intenstity of the exercise and the amount of volume I do.

At least you know what's wrong with it now so it'll finally heal. Injuries are the worst part of sport/athletics/training etc.

Nice front squat.
Do you usually dunk on outdoor/concrete courts? Aside from the ring being higher there could be another reason why it's harder to dunk. I think your body gets used to jumping on concrete so than when you jump on hardwood it's harder coz your body isn't used to it. That's what I found even though most people say they can jump higher on hardwood (maybe that's another reason why my knees get fuked up- always jumping on concrete).

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Some questions about vj and injuries?
« on: January 11, 2013, 12:38:43 am »
I know the answer you probably want to hear is no pain no gain or something like that. But really if it's in pain than stop training. If you keep training on it the injury is just going to get worse and you might end up hurting other parts of your body since their using/exerting/absorbing etc. more force than their supposed to. They exert more force  because they are compensating for the ankle. E.g your knees will take more strain when you're ankles are in pain and than you might end up with knee problems etc. Plus the quicker you let it rest the quicker it's going to repair.
If I were you I'd just keep playing basketball coz that'll help strengthen the ankle but give the vj stuff a rest until the ankle is better.

what do you think your 1RM is for bench right now?

I can get 250#'s max.

225 I typically can do 5 reps fresh. not enough to get noticed at the combine.

maybe as a punter.  :P

  :lololol::highfive:

It makes me wonder what kind of numbers NFL punters put up for stats. Do they even get run in the combine?
I bet they are still pretty elite athletes on average. They put in much work due to the overall lack of respect.

I remember when the sonic's drafted Kevin Durant, he couldn't bench 185 once. granted when you are 6'10" and built like him your chest is a long way down. Still hasn't seemed to slow him down in the pros.

tonight's workout....more progress....

1/8/13 Tuesday BW=164.2

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
squat 5x185, 3x225, 1x260, 1x275, 1x285, 7x280, 6x270, 8x260
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x175, 5x185, 5x185
calf raise 200# 3x15

another squat PR 7x280. My legs feel like they can do more at this point but 280 is digging in my back hard by rep 7.

Maybe its my skirt getting caught in my panties?

I know a couple of punters in NFL coz they used to play Aussie Rules football.
This is Sav Rocca when he played aussie rules weighing around 95kg and if you look on aussie rules forums apparently he could bench 140kg (308lbs) back then before NFL.

He now weighs 120kg and I'd say most of the weight he put on in NFL would be muscle and he'd have heaps more time to work out in the weight room so he probably benches closer to 400lbs now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sav_Rocca

The other NFL convert that was playing NFL up to last year from Aussie Rules is Ben Graham who could kick a footy like 70m. He's listed on wiki as weighing 107kg so you'd imagine he'd be benching at least 300lbs as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Graham_(football_player)

So yeah I think you're right when you say that they'd still be pretty strong/athletic people even though their only punters.

Edit- Nice work on the squat PR!
