hmm... so what would u recommend?
im terrible at planning my workouts...
as far as gains go, the last game, last sat, i tried out both my running 1 footed and 2 footed vert.
both didnt gain anything, abt the same height, tho my legs were both tired.
hopefully when they're fully rested i'll have gained an inch or so, tho it feels unlikely
my 1 foot and 2 footed approach is now abt the same, which is kind of a bad thing really imo...
hopefully i'll get a vid soon, so perhaps u guys can see whats wrong...
Thanks both , very useful advice & article...
Ya , now i understand what it is. It is that "lag" that i see when starting / stoping bulking with heavy carbs... like there are ~6-7lbs that magically appear when you start bulking and magically dissapear when you start leaning...
ah..
i've had my reach fluctuate.. from 96" to 95".. seems my lats get tight.. weirdness.
isn't your bodyweight significantly more now, than your 10'7 touch from months back?
i used to factor in my BW in claiming PR's.. for example I'd heavy PR's at 170 lb.. once i hit 10'11" at 172 i knew I would be flying at 160 lb.. cleaning up diet, transitioning into a more power / less fatigue block, and losing some of that bulk water retention from the higher volume/fatigue workouts.. worked good.
peace
LOL , my thoughts exactly.
Summer's 10'7'' was totaly rested , ~175lbs , ~14%bodyfat
Sunday's 10'7'' was 72hrs after squating to failure , ~200lbs , ~18%bf
And i always use that 'relative VJ' on my calcs and plans but now i must chase the absolute VJ value PR
Something interesting:
I discovered why i kept mistaking the rim heights. I was measuring the difference of the rims with my highest reach.
My reach was measured from the difference of my ceiling, and it gave 242cm in shoes, thats 95,27'' or 7' 11&1/4''
I finaly got a pro measuring tape so i could measure high objects accurately and i discovered i was wrong at most rims.
Yesterday i remeasured my reach , normally this time , and boom! I was off there too , so it all makes sense.
I was off by 2cm , i measured repeatedly to make sure.
My standing reach is ~240cm in shoes. Thats 94,5'' or 7' 10&1/2''.
Doesnt really change anything , i dont care if my VJ PRs are ~0,8'' higher, my highest touch is still at ~10'7''.
week 2 day 2
morning before i went to sleep:
1min fast jog.
3 x 50m dashes, about 70%
3 X bounding, roughly 50m, but only 5 real efforts, some getting into the groove in the beginning.
3 x high knee jumps, 30m
3 x 5 single leg depth jumps off half shin height.
2 x 10 hanging straight legged leg raises.
2 x 5 double leg depth jumps off knee height.
2 x 5 of that jumping and landing on midfoot things.
game tmr, hope i can recover in time.
how the fuck did u do 50 pullups, or 200 pushups for that matter! ???
respect.
QuoteDunks : 0/25. I was trying to level up at this height and throw down hard , so i missed them all!
i know all to well how that goes.. hehe
Yeah , its pretty similar to your story:
I stoped aproaching with the ball in hands , so i can get my max vertical at dunk attempts.
But i suck at throwing self lobs, so all my tries were off the backboard dunks.
I was filming too and indeed all the jumps were maximal , that allwasys happens when chasing the ball in the air & not thinking!
But 7'11'' + 32'' = 10'7'' , so only 9'' above the 9'10'' rim... so 0/25.
Still , hard misses like that felt much better than normal makes with the ball in hands...
