Vertical jump testing / dunk session. Weight@session : 200,5 Jumping on concrete , 9'10'' rim
-15' dynamic warmup -3 mins rest -5 ~80m sprints at 40% -3 mins rest -bunch of low/mid effort jumps.
1x3 SVJs : ~27,5'' 1x3 1-step-lead-in RVJs , ~32,5'' , maybe even 33'' -Sudden storm , WTF , BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO F-U-C-K , i felt so good , was pumped with cafeine and all too , i was flying! I was so pissed that i waited in my car for the storm to end and kept jumping on the wet court and i was still geting 32+ in all jumps.
hey man, check out week 3 here... i've helped you with the weights.. i mean, if your back is bugging don't hit those weights, but if you feel good then those are the goals..
tell me if you think 127kg is too much on those msem squats.. you did it for your first session, we need to keep up a certain strength 'threshold' during this phase, we don't want to be going up and down too much IF we can hit the goal weight that session.. those 3 singles should be hard, but doable for 2 sets, so give me some feedback on that, because you did 120/127 first session, then on week 2 last session you did 120/125 etc..
for example, we want something like this, as an example:
week 1: day 1: msem 127 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 120 kg @ 2x3 week 3: day 1: msem 130 kg @ 2x3, day 3: msem 125 kg @ 2x3
every 2nd week its bumping up as we transition entirely into explosive phase.
ok so, we'll have a two week rotation so to get some extra volume in on the second week.. this is what I propose:
week 1: power emphasis week 2: power + strength maintenance week 3: power emphasis week 4: power + strength maintenance

ok we'll fill in stuff you are unsure of etc.. and i'll re-edit as you reply.
ok so, pictures above are from dunk session tonight, but here's the workouts etc..
06/05/2010
hamstring tendon injury bugging me a little, rearing its ugly head. it's from the hamstring isos, have to be careful.
158 today.. ate real good, so clean/light.. 2 days in a row.. another stir fry + hamburger too.. i feel REALLY good eating like this.
it rained hard, so it set back my workout for tonight.. i was hoping the courts were dry and luckily they were! i felt so explosive tonight.
workout #1: dunks - got to court around 8:45pm, warmed up light until about 9, finished around 9:50pm - did some drop step jumps, got up real good, knew i'd be jumping well - did about 15 dunk attempts total, with about 35-40 lob attempts............ meaning, my lobs sucked.. but here's why: i've been doing lobs in the day, so it's hot as hell out, and my ball bounces real well.. but at night, it was alot cooler, and i could barely get the bounce to get above rim level.. so that really sucked.. would have landed some very nice dunks for sure, stupid lobs.. have to pump up the ball more for next session.
workout #2: around 1am - nice warmup - 4 workup sprints - 2 x ~60-70 yard max sprints , felt alot more explosive on sprints tonight - 1 x ~200 yard sprint - HIP FLEXORS DEAD - chinups, glutes/core locked + legs straight, BW x 15 - deep pushups on handles, glutes/core locked, BW x 25 - some "neutral grip lever attempts", actually could lever up somewhat good, but couldnt hold that position x 5 - some weird dip stuff on bars, another sort of lever thing x 5 - l-sit on dip bars x 5s (HIP FLEXORS TOAST)
- half squat iso, forward lean, 3 minutes, legs completely numb.. i was doing stopwatch double click while doing the iso, got 0.07, 0.08, multiple 0.09/0.10's, was pretty ridiculous.. legs were completely numb i just gave out mentally at 3 minutes
- calf raise iso, about 75% plantar flexion, glutes/core locked, 5 minutes, much easier than last time.
Sad that you can't find gyms like that in North America.
ya man, it really does.. all of these mcdojo's everywhere.. most people aren't diehard enough to train at places like this, but you'd still get people flying in from all over to train there, real fighters etc.
real boxing gyms don't even exist in south florida anymore it's insane :/
I knew I had lower back rounding, and I'm really working on hamstring flexibility (stretch, good mornings,...), glute activation, hip flexor stretching etc, but I need much more flexibility I think... Makes me scary to squat with higher weight, even though I never have any lower back pain... Oh and in the set with bar only I was looking to the side because there's a mirror there:P
With the 100 kgs, certainly wasn't good at the last two reps, but I'm sure there are other things that aren't good...
i definitely echo what mattyg & steven-miller (on tvs) are saying.. as for the RDL, i don't like going any lower than when my hips stop pushing back, any lower than that and you're going to really shift the focus to your low back.
and ya, no shoes in a gym like that could leave you with some nasty infections! heheh, vibrams or track flats would fit you well, you have a good arch in the foot.
