24 September 2015

1,5 hour full court bball.
Went good, had much better breaths than i thought. Good speed too, which is very unusual for me.
Jumps were pretty good too. The hardwood is such a different world than concrete. Yeah, no shit Sherlock.
Did only one rim jump, 3 steps RVJ, got a little over 30, could be 31, never saw that coming without even one warmup jump prior to it.
Legs still unrecovered, getting sore from gym and feeling stiff/tight. Need to step my foam roll / stretch / sleep game up ASAP.

Later : foam rolled IT bands & quads, stretched quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, calves.

Bodyweight@session : ?
Soreness : quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, chest, lats
Injuries/aches : none

45' shooting around/layups. Feeling a bit better, still far away from fit but having much better breaths for the quantity of sweat/effort.
Tried a few jumps at the end. Felt nice and smooth but achieved height was horrible.
Attempted to foam roll but i must shamefully admit it was so painful that i backed out.
I guess i have not yet adapted to this 3x5 paused + 20RM MEBM squat combo, legs are dead the next day(s).

8@BW+70kg

Very good overall, feeling at a good phase now, where the 'getting back at it' ends and i can run a good linear progression everywhere.

Foam rolling : IT bands & quads, 3x5 very slow rolls each, with some pausing at points of most discomfort.
Stretch : quads, hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes, calves , 1m30s each position and leg.

Yeah, to be fair you are right. The first one that says 33-35 is 31-32. The second one i would say around 33.

Yes he did. He is just negatively e-stating himself now to make a point.

Don't listen to his "Oh, and I NEVER jumped 35 off two, lol. Not even close. MAYBE 32 at the most." crap, here is the truth :

Actually, I just found this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhJL5bUOrY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LhJL5bUOrY</a>

It does seem pretty high, don't know how much but decent.

This one as well...

1,5 hour bball.
Ahhh, back to the hardwood. So much better than concrete ( no shit! ). We had last minute absences so couldn't play full court. Half court still exhausting, i am always amazed after a little time of bball absence of how demanding it is. Speed, strength, vert, agility, aerobic and anaerobic endurance, you mane it, bball demands it.
I felt a lot like jumping on the hardwood but legs had different opinion. Too stiff/tired/unrecovered. Gotta make recovery ( more sleep, SMR, stretch ) a #1 priority. Starting today!

Bullshit! You got to 160kg squat, hard SVJ dunks at 9'8'' and 35-ish DLRVJ. I don't know why you are trying to alter your own stats.
The fact is that you were very reactive but weak before training, you strength-trained, your squat skyrocketed and your SVJ/DLRVJ followed.

^Yes, i must invest more on recovery ( sleep/SMR ). I must change how i see it, compromising them is like sabotaging myself.

Good progress on rdl/lunge, room for more. Didn't up arms loads because i didn't do them last week. Was easy, should have upped.

Ok, plan commitment check.

Quote from: vag on August 26, 2015, 01:45:59 pm
Important tweaks:
-O-lifts : Keep doing them all year round, add snatches besides HPC.      OK
-Pchain : i have been neglecting glutes work. Gotta keep regular with lunges/BSS.      OK
-Core : constantly neglected. Must do as often as possible, abs and back work.      X , Started good the first week but then stopped
-Stretch/SMR: Has to become a daily thing, it ain't that hard.      X , Big fail, just one session in 3 weeks
-Cardio : Also as much as possible, even LISS when beat from the weights, gotta stay as fit/lean as i can.      OK, regular park days plus rowing sessions at gym days
-Jumps : I am never jumping enough, not even close. Must keep at it, even in the winter with SVJs/dropsteps/DJs at home.      so-so, could do more
-Upper : pump up the volume. Add an accessory exercise for every main lift i do.      Doing good, haven't added accessory stuff yet.
-Nutrition : Moar protein. I am at ~100g on off days, 150-200 at gym days. Gotta add 50g to that.      OK
-Sleep : I am a night owl. Always have been. Not gonna change. But i could just deal with it more active, try to go to bed earlier, every hour is a gain.      X , Big fail, MUST fix

So core, stretch and sleep are once again neglected. Ok, i'm on them.

But you are a single leg jumper, my strength-training 'obsession' applies to double leg 'ungifted' jumpers.
By the way, those 7 years of strength training gave you nothing at all, didn't you add something like 15 inches to your DL jump?  ;)
