Lets see... squatted Monday morning. 5 405 singles and 315 for 8 back squat. fs was up to a 315 single and then 3x3 at 275. Some calf work and core work but took it easy volume wise because we were hooping at night, didnt want to be too fatigued. Played like shit the first 3 games (5v5 full). Its like my subconscious knows i did legs so my body holds back. Well... someone talked some shit after the 3rd game about teams being uneven and no one beating the team that was winning... mistake. I came alive. Locked down the other teams best player. Zero points. and dropped 12 of our 15 points (by 1s/2s to 15 win by 2). Drives. Stepback 3s. NBA range pullup on the break....it was dirty even by my standards. Last game was more of the same but had a nasty crossover>hesi shot fake move into a layup that had my guy on one knee 😆.

Hit back/biceps/core today at 3pm. Then went to the court at 730 (closes at 830) just to get some shots up. 2 games of 2v2 then dunked for about 8 mins at the end. Recorded it and Im about to watch it.

I may just upload it raw and unedited. Its just over 7 mins long but shows the 'warmup' then some dunks and finally 2 jumps if you guys wanna see how a normal (shortened) session goes (in terms of warm up/breaks/misses lol/etc). Any interest or edit it down?

Probably? Im not an endomorph and I dont think im an ectomorph although i was super lean/skinny when i was younger. I graduated at 155-160lbs from high school. Had never touched a weight at the time but since I have id lean towards being a meso due to structures?

And thanks man. I figured around 45" maybe 46" at best. I jeed those other 2" lol (thats what she said!). I need to start dunking a lot more. My run up and speed were garbage but the landing was so easy. Normally from that height i collapse a lot more.

213
Still lifting. Seemed to have stalled on squats at 405x2 Bs and 315 x1 fs. my lower back is giving out on the fs. Legs have the power it seems. Going to switch it up a little. Desdlifted today.  475x1 top single. 445 5x2 and 315 x12 along with some core and BSS 185 2x6 esch leg. Cut it short to hoop. FINALLY boomed a mill off glass. No one got vid butnthey wanted to see if i could hit my head on the backboard after the windmill lol! So we videoed that and another jump before I did some drills.  Going to eat and then go do accessory work.

Yup. One of the guys took a vid on his cell! Sorry if the quality is crap :( I think...THINK... that with some practice and better positioning I might be able to pull this off. Wayyy easier to time than a lob btl and I obviously can get up higher than of the dribble.

Leonel, dude, stsrt a cut and try it! I feel crazy different going from 182-184 down to 175!

Back and core on Tuesday then hooped Wed at 185lbs (eek). Hyper extended my right elbow slightly in the first game :( Hand would randomly go numb for the next hour. Made shooting fun and painful. So I drove a lot. Had a 2 hand put back and a 1 hander on a kid. Felt bouncy for 185. Tossed a few lobs and was getting up decently so I attempted my first ever double up.

Legit. Scary. AF. lol! Only tried once and I probably should have ahd the kid stand up a little more but he said he was 5'8" so i was like... mehhh. Got hung on the rim. Someone got video I think lol!

Skipped speed work after wards. Probably will do that today since Indont believe pulling heavy deadlifts with the elbow sore is smart.

216
Lets see... recap! Back/biceps Tuesday. Speed day Wednesday morning was garbage (saw the soon to be ex wife there, bleh, she wasnt cordial this time. Ruined my mood. I just want to be happy. Her too.). Played full court from 6-1030. Sheesh. Quad cramped at 1030 when I came down the lane and went to dunk. Planned a big 2 hander... planted and the right quad said nah. Ended up barely getting a 1 hander basically jumping off a weird ass psuedo single leg plant lol! Much stretching. Thursday was deadlifts. Failed at 475 for a single? But got a 4x2 at 445 and a 315 for 10 then moved on to BSS and assy work. Weird. Did some hip thrusts at the end. 135 for 12 paused. Need to work on glute activation. Hit chest andnahoulders sunday (wow... been a while lol). Then squats last night

BW: 183lbs

BS: bar x12, 135 x8, 225 x5, 315 x3, 365, 405, 425.
405 x2
405 x1
385 3x2
315 x8

FS: 225 x3, 275 x2, 295, 315, 295 3x2.

Stepups, calf raises and leg extensions with a ton of core work. Finished with paused hip thrusts at 135 again.

Not bad.

Can you look like that without roids though? I'm not entirely sure tbh

I think its possible for some people. Hes big but not entirely ripped up. If he was both then id have my doubts. I think youre physiology controls a lot and some can get really shredded without drugs and others get really large. I haven't seen an instance where a person is BOTH however and not on gear. IMO.

IMO, just do sprint blocks for cardio. Its fast, not steady stste so you dont adapt, and shreds fat.

I dont bet on anything im not involved in lol BUT IF I DID, I'd throw a little money on Conor. NOT because I think he'll win but on the off chance Floyd slips on the camvas and Conor rocks him perfectly... itd pay off lol

conor sparring match... was that a joke or was he trying to connect, his arm look its made of rubber and it was slow motion......

boxers shouldn't be allowed to do mma cuz they could kill someone with that thin glove....

pro boxers usually get taken down & submitted in MMA.

i imagine people put shit music on videos to avoid being automatically flagged.


Why? Because MOST MMA guys realize how LETHAL a boxer is comparatively. They know the best option is gnp or submission.

On your deadlifts, one thing that helped me was taking the 'slack' out of the bar before starting the lift. I address the bar, take a 'starting position' and as i pull the slaxk out of the bar i breathe in and literally pull myself inot a tighter position. Almost like a sprinter in the blocks, youre in the blocks but relaxed then you take your start right before the gun. That 'jerk' is actually really good imo (sorry lbss!) because youre obviously aggressively pulling and we all know what momentum does. Im about to deadlift in a min and ill see if i can get a video of what im talking about (no one here lol its 230am).


Edit: Ok Propped the phone up on a warmup set. Quick walk through, I set up, grab the bar, wiggle it to show what im talking about when i say slack, then i get in position and you'll see me put tension on the bar. When you do this right you'll feel it load your glutes and hams NOT your quads (I guess thats another helpful cue). It doesnt look like much but it makes a difference. That small bit of tension takes out the wasted energy your putting out in the first milliseconds of the lift. Hope it helps man!

Is this really a discussion? PBF is going to point his ass TO DEATH. Conors stand up/striking is VERY basic compared to a world class boxer and all this bs hes spewing about hitting harder than anyone Floyds fought? Bahahaha. No. Im sure he thinks he hits hard af but what adarq said above is key...

Technique>*.

Conor won't go down easy but he's in for  a world of surprises the first time Floyd catches him with a clean counter. When youve thrown MILLIONS of punches with great technique... you hit hard. He doesnt hit hard as a BOXER but compared to an MMA fighter? Smh.

Ive got some friends who are pretty decent MMA guys and they can hit but its NOTHING compared to a couple boxing buddies. I got stung clean AF from a right cross sparring a boxing friend in college and it slowed me way more than any shot ive taken messing around with my mma friends. And he was 146lbs vs my 170. Long, lanky and quick as shit lol!

Correction: my best friends dad is like a 30yr wing chun expert... I sparred him once. I laughed at my buddy when he said id never see it coming (Ive dabbled with some boxing and mma stuff, every guy should lol, self defense and a great ego check).... I saw the first one, parried, saw a glimpse of the left and never saw the 2nd right hand. At all. Just went down on 1 knee trying to decide what happened and if i should get up. :)

224
My bad. Was excited/tired af. Definitely could have logged that more clearly lol! For future reference..
 the 405x2 was the PR. Which I repeated 3 mins later lol!

Weighed 182.5lbs tonight then proceeded to get hammered on Chopin. I mean... if youre going to drink do it right lol!

Ive pretty much decided to cut back on upper body. Anyone have any links to well thought out/planned BW upper body routines? If like to cut to about 177lbs without killing my squat/deadlift or looking anorexic:(

225
Hit back/core Friday. Slept a ton Sat 😁 Then did some speed work Sunday and felt really great.

Played an hour and half of hoops tonight from 7-830 (had to get back home for the game!) nothing really crazy. Got loose, broke a sweat, dunked 3x after the game and shut it down lol!

Squatssss! (at 130am lmfao) Sort of tired but the gym was empty so I went a little apeshit and got myself hyped up.

warmups+jumps
