ok so..... last night i decided im going to go back to that nice outdoor court with a roof, because of all the rain that has happened here.. so i goto sleep at 4:30 am (instead of 6:30am) and wake at 10:30am, needless to say not enough sleep..

i go dunk, kinda tired but trying to forget about it.. as im warming up, the rain comes in from the side, massive wind/rain.. wrecks the court.. i wait it out and do like 30 dunk attempts, a few really nice jumps, but the combo of slightly slippery shoes (mostly in my head) and lack of sleep had me less than peak.. but i still got to like 35" on a few jumps.

so i get home, all caff'd up, and pass out for 4 hours..

i wake up and weather seems nice outside.. i just may go dunk again, at a local court here.

lol nuts.

peace

YO!!!!

Hey ! I'm Ofir AKA The Silencer, most of you probably know me as a dunker and basketball player.

beastly dunker.. and the only fireball dunk ive seen :)

I started my journey to a bigger vertical jump at 16, known as "Skywalker" on the J101 forums.
Through there I was contacted by Peter Mundy, who washed my eyes with Kelly Baggetts work, which exposed me to the world of sports enhancement

My life has changed dramatically since then.
I got in that crap deep since then, I am now 22, moved to Track from semi-pro basketball and doing quite well.
I have my PT certification and I am gaining experience in a lot of gyms and athlete clients, And i'm planning on moving to the states to to compete in NAIA/D2 track.

had no idea you are doing semi-pro now, that's sick..

I run 11.05 100M FAT, a 3.60 30m HT, and jump 43" vertical leap from 3 steps.
Currently 6'3" and 190lbs

I would like to run 10.60 by next year, and jump high enough to get my mouth to the rim.

what's your plan on trying to get to 10.6 by next year, considering you are playing semi pro now? any idea yet?

how beastly are your hamstrings?

BTW the floor is all twisted so in real life it's like a natural incline bench.. LOL

could be postural though, my posture has definitely improved standing due to my glute/ab strength.

Makes sense. The guy I took yoga classes from in Chile (laugh it up, fools, laugh it up) gained two inches on his height because of how much his posture improved after starting yoga.

LOLOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no but seriously, that's cool stuff.. he shoulda took before/after side pics.

i'm 6'1 now WITHOUT SHOES..... so in my flats im like 6'1.5"

i somehow grew an inch during age 27 at some point.. i was standing next to my dad near a mirror and i was like "damn im taller than you wtf?" so we measured and im now an inch taller.. i measured like .5 years ago and i wasn't 6'1 without shoes..

pretty weird... could be postural though, my posture has definitely improved standing due to my glute/ab strength.

Dude I'm telling you it's because my legs were so pumped. I'm growing redwoods brah.

redwoods hah

But if you can do 20 reps with it, it's not your 10RM, by definition.  ??? ??? ???

leg mass recovers fast when you breathe between reps.. for example, if i was mentally strong i could have just kept going, even hitting 100 or so..

a 10RM is something you can hit without really breathing much between reps.. if you have to sit there and take a few breathes between each rep, you are recovering energy & filtering lactic acid to help you hit another rep, so it's not really apart of your percentage of 1RM.. for example, you can try to breathe in between bench reps, it'll maybe get you only 1 or 2 reps total, but the musculature is working too hard while holding the bar at the top, plus that musculature is much smaller in mass than the quads, glutes, and hamstrings..

when you're standing up with the bar, the glutes/hams can recover pretty well as they are not under significant stress, only the quads/erector spinae really is..

so if your max is 335, take your 10RM of that, then perform 20 with it.. that's how 20 rep breathing squats work... definitely not more than 10RM.

Body measurements ( only for bodyfat )
Last measurements = 20 days ago

Weight ( in the morning ) :  ~187 , ( -5lbs )
Waist ( navel level , loose) : ~34,6'' , ( -1,8'' )

Bodyfat estimation (online calculator) : ~15,8% ( -3% )
Bodyfat estimation (BF measuring scale) : ~15,8% ( -0,7% )

Looks great! :D

damn great work dude... going very well so far..

nice man, keep getting that bf% down as well and you'll be flying

Thanks guys, lets see if it will transfer to vert...
Oh , 187 is a typo , its 188. All the other numbers are ok.
My top morning weight ( when bulking ) was ~198 , so i must set a limit , like 15lbs , so im not going under 183.

the limit depends on strength maintenance though, so if you could get to 160 and maintain strength i'd go for it, 45" RVJ. bwahah.

but ya I imagine 180 would be the absolute lowest you would get on this cut while maintaining strength.

Also, about your exercise index, I think it would look better to have it in a list form with hidden links..

i will mang, i just havn't gotten around to it yet.. was going to actually start putting those in links tonight.. ya it's gonna be real organized in the original post.

"There is no such thing as hard weather, only soft bodies." -unknown (maybe someone could help me find a source?)

Anyway, I like using this one during track when freshman start complaining about running in rain. :D

when it's raining, i go to a shopping center and sprinter next to the shops on the covered sidewalk.. when i was into basketball, i'd dribble there.. i just lift in the rain so that's no problem, thick hoody FTW.. so ya, no excuses :D

nice quote.

peace
