Speaking of peaking workouts... and jumping PRs...
I'll be changing only the "main" excercise in the peak block , creating those 3 workouts (A/B/C ) that ill be cyclying.
A, B, C : 3/4x5 27'' DJs
A: squat MSEM 3x2 @ ~80-85% ( buffer for stim )
B: squat 4x3 1/4 squats @110-120%
C: speed squat MSEM , 8x1@70-80%
A-B-C : BSS MSEM 2x2 , ~100%
A-B-C : Calves 3x12/15
Question 1 :
Whats the best timing for a jump/dunk session after those kind of workouts? I mean i know im fresh all week with them, but when is the max stim effect? 48 or 72 hours later?
Question 2 :
How often should i do them? Shall i go every 4-5 days or stick to 1xweek?
and im slacking on the AD warmup and the core stuff...
im feeling good right now. nothing aching anywhere in fact! if i really stretch out my arms, the sides of the chest still a tad sore, but nothing major like previous times. couldnt rep out as much on those dips and pullups ytd tho.
ytd on those squats was a different story haha. a few reps i didnt quite manage to explode up.
don't feel sore or anything now, but ytd i felt my hips tho. muscles all feel fine. wonder if im doing somethin stupid, like not loading or using the muscles properly to lift the weights.
i think partially why i havent seen much gains in my vert is due to the fact that despite all the work i put in inside the weights room, i hardly actually ever go out and do the actual jumping. hhahaha! sure hope things change, and i hope i'll be able to dunk off a lob, on that lower rim this weekend, or 2 weeks later, when the last game of the season is.
after that, it'd be another month or so before the next one starts, so i'll be needing ur help once again adarq!

glad i got that 90 on the bench, wanted it for a long time already. but all my reps on the bench, no matter the weight, nv touched my chest. all were abt 2 inches above.
this is cause i train alone, and the rack's safety bars with the bench height made benching to chest, while still having safety in case of failure impossible. haha, had an accident with the bar before with the bench press as well, pinned under the bar till someone saved me.
HAHHA, i think i got myself into accidents for each of my lift at one time in time or another.
damn, for the depth jumps, i do them off stacked up aerobic steps, but the max height i can get is around 24", no more steps around. maybe i'll stack them on some plates or something... :/
On second thought, warmed up a bit and tried some glute bridges and the hamstring whatever whatever was acting up even during that ???
So I wussed out and stopped. I'm gonna make a PT appointment tomorrow. I'm a mess. Fuck this shit.
Great post Andrew. I know Yuri was a huge influence on you, and me as well. Good shit!
Vid that should make clear my issues with in-game jumping: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsaOM5XBRxA . Well of course this isn't in-game and it also isn't a real spike approach, but it feels the same as an approach jump for me and i think it also looks like one.. I don't have any vball training until august or so, so this is the only footage I have..
i'd be interested in seeing what spikejon or adam thought, but you're definitely planting your feet so close together that your knees are basically knocking.. i mean in a jump like this, which is a much less aggressive runup than your other videos, your raw explosive strength is going to be much more of a factor, so getting SVJ/drop step SVJ up significantly will make all the difference.
peace man
Haha yeah, but I don't want this kind of approach in game, I want the approach I use without ball while spiking!
