Andrew, can you give me a typical week breakdown of your training like what you do and how many times you train? Seen a few of your videos and you can definitely get up!

currently or when i was using weights for vert (~1-3 years ago)?

currently im at like 34-35 max RVJ, 1 year ago i was 39 max RVJ..

1 year ago i was relying on:
- slightly above parallel + high bar squat + close stance + feet neutral
- barbell lunges / barbell stepups
- higher frequency training, consisting mostly of singles on squat, reps on unilaterals
- plyometric and reactive training: depth jumps and force absorption stuff, stiff leg ankle hops
- jumps & caffeined up jump sessions

currently:
- bodyweight training : isos/reps etc
- sprints
- jumps
- eating better
- phasing in plyometric/reactive training
- high frequency

hope that helps

Yeah that helps. Why the move from wight training to bodyweight training though?

dno it's like a big experiment i've always wanted to do.. i know the weightlifting stuff works but it does take a major toll on me with all of my dumb injuries so, trying to figure out this non-weighted training has always interested me.. so far so good until monday, my right knee has been bugging, but prior to that i've felt way better than when i was weight training, for the last 3 months or so.

every time i've tried doing this experiment before, i've run back to lifting real quick.. im most likely going to do this until 2011 or so and then re-evaluate.. if i need to ill throw in some MSEM lifting etc.. by then i should be flying though so who knows.

peace man

soreness: hamstrings/glutes STILL, calfs (new)
aches: right knee really bugging

weight: 159

after my sprint workout, right before my upper body workout, i got chased by a pitbull or something.. i jumped up and climbed onto my power rack, it sat there barking for like 10 minutes, as soon as it left i got my phone and called my dad who was inside.. loooll..... he came out with a michette and was trying to find it, he's nuts

anyway other people had called the cops on it too and they were looking for it all night apparently it was causing trouble.

_scared the fuck out of me_

to be honest though it looked like this thing:

sprints:
- 10 40's
- 5 35's
- started raining
- ~300 walking lunges each leg

- chased by dog

- upper body guarding myself with michette: dips/chinups

bad headache all night :<

peace

Weight@session: ~197
EXPLOSIVE BLOCK B, Strength workout.

SQUATS:
1x5@209lbs.
1x5@254lbs ( parallel box squat )
2+0+1@297lbs ( HUGE PR! )
I planned to do parallel box squats@275 that was my PR. But 254 felt too light so i got greedy.
First 2 reps were half squats ( 2'' above parallel ) , then i went parallel ( box ) , failed to rise , sat there 20secs ( with 300lbs on my back ) , retried and got it up. Crazy shit...

BSS
1x6@176
1x6@198
1x5@231 ( HUGE PR here too! )
Crazy stim effect from squating 297 , 198 was light as a feather , i was actualy laughing lifting them. Very weird feeling!

CALVE RAISES:
3x12@330
Took those very easy because right ankle was bugging from the dunks.

damn... good shit but sitting on the box with 300 lb on ur back for 20s isnt good, another reason why i like pin squats hehe!

congrats on pr's..

6/24/2010

BW = 156

soreness: still very sore in glutes/hamstrings, chest/forearms
achyness: right knee

achyness is mostly from this soreness, just too much inflammation.

workout:
- 150 yard tempo sprints: 5x (sprint/walk back/repeat)
- 200 yard tempo sprints: 3x (sprint/walk back/repeat)
- 400 yard tempo sprints: 1x
- dips: 10 + hold until failure
- very slow neutral pullups: 8
- partials dips: 40 + hold until failure
- partial chinups: 25
- dips: 10 + hold until failure

done..

shins actually bugging a bit, its all because of that damn hamstring sorness though.. piece of shit.. they were feeling weird even before sprinting tonight.. funny how that works out.

peace

wow what a session.. damn.. once i get that shaky/beyond overhyped feeling im usually done for.. hard to come back from that.

sick pic man and great stuff, next time leave the cam on earlier lol@!$!@

peace

Yes , crazy session indeed! Forgot to mention that after my SVJs it started raining! i was so pissed!!! but it turned up to be just a 5 min shit , court didnt get wet at all.
That overhype shit had to do with the cam , once i got the crazy warmup dunks without filming , i got too anxious to get them on cam too , that overhyped me. And thats probably why it came back after closing the cam. Whatever , better luck next time!

even more confidence though for whenever your next dunk session will be..

things are looking good keep it up!

peace man

Well the most scary ones are the repetitive ones.

The most times I've had a dream was related to the subway where two trains collide or something bad happens. I dreamed this more than 10 times.

Another often happening nightmare is the one where I walk on the street and a huge storm comes and gets me off the ground through the air. I've also have this one for several times.

I also had, for a few times, the one where I drive a car... weird.

i've only had a few recurring dreams, i actually did what was in the recurring dream once, to somehow put an end to it.. it actually worked.. i had this dream where I was 'walking home from FAU' (24 mile walk), and id be getting attacked by all kinds of people/dogs etc.. so one day I was like fuck i've had that dream too much im going to walk home from university, fuck it.. so needless to say I walked 24 excrutiating miles and got in one encountered with a bunch of dumb wannabe gangster idiots.. that ended fine so other than that, a raccoon like fell out of a tree while i was walking under it and scared the living shit out of me.

never had that dream again after i actually walked those miles!

i was sore for like 1 week after walking that.. hah.

peace
