Do you guys remember gary's thread a few years back where he had some contraption which he swore taught his body to jump (gather/collect whatever) better so he was able to finally PR his jump to some important milestone as a result. I wonder if this is similar..

Aw man, just i was thinking I need to start watching some GSW games .. that sucks. But what an achievement!

Thanks for those suggestions, esp 1 and 3. Will employ them asap! Already did 2 following your suggestion (it was you!) earlier in the thread and overhead throws (chrisM). I dont have to worry about getting hit on the bounce on 2 cause mine doesn't bounce that much, it's perfect! I'll post photos vids next time i use it.

I have a big enough space for oh throws, i will be doing htem outdside in the park since it's summer!

I'm going to buy a 5kg ball right now. Can someone please outline a quick workout that I should try tonight? I'll buy the 10kg ball later on once i've found a decent price. Thanks!

Ok update, i ended up getting a 10kg one as well. fell in love with the 10kg even though i only planned on getting the 5kg because it was a compact size, about a basketball size. I hate that it costs so much to buy gym equipment here

I weighed them and the 5kg is 4.88kg and the 10kg is exactly 10kg! Im annoyed about the 5kg being lighter, i would have been ok with it being heavier. blah.

Sample workout for tonight still welcome Do i use both or just one?

Dont stress it bro, one day's not going to make or break your hard work of weeks. Just take the next one in stride and keep going.

^That is interesting.
I do my share of paused reps though, and i do mix them with no-pause, just not in the same set. One of the two week days of squatting is 3x5 ATG paused, followed by 20RM not paused. Also all my warm-up sets are always paused.
As for LTMP, it is not the mobility that i am after, but a safe / effective / performance-oriented way to utilize high frequency. Mobility is an added benefit. Take a look in adarqui's blog posts about them if you haven't, interesting stuff said there:

yeah i dont like doing all paused reps cause you want the warmup to groove the actual lift and paused only is too different. So i get the benefit of the paused rep (depth/stretch) followed by grooving the normal squat. It also doesn't fatigue too much so warms up nicely without excess fatigue. I go straight from 100kg p135 to 132.5kg for reps without any intermediate sets.. thanks to the paused/unpaused alternating scheme. Re LTMP, cool will check it out.

29 is literally the best year .. it's when you're wise enough to be smarter and more experienced than during most of your 20s but still young enough to be in your 20s. Or something like that. I dont know, i thought it was the best. It's all downhill after 31 though. Lol. So enjoy this window of peak LBSS!

seriously neg person, kill yourself.

lol. i think it was all borne from a misunderstanding. They thought you were saying "one mans trash" to ChrisM's relationship misfortune but you were referring to his post-injury deflated jumps which he was unhappy with but you'd be happy with. It wasn't me btw.
