Well... big changes lately for me life in general wise. Not going to let it keep me down. Resolving to start logging more to keep myself accountable. Really need to play more ball to stay bouncy as well.
Squatted tonight at 181lbs BW.
Back Squat
bar x12, 135 x10, 225 x6, 315 x3, 365 x1, 405 x1, 425 x1
385 x3, 385 x3, 365 x3, 365 x3, 365 x3. Not bad.
Front squat:
265 x5, 295 x3, 315 x1! FINALLY! Got it easier than expected to, shold have repped it twice. Then finished with 275 x3, x3.
Circuit assistance work. Went for more heavier/less reps on the unilateral work tonight. we'll see how that feels tomorrow.

Squat day. Usual BS. Warmup. Jump. Squat.
Got 425 for a single again. 5x3 at 365. FS 225 x5, 245 x5. Some accessory work and core. Forget to weigh in. Prolly 182-183. Trying to watch my diet better. Felt super powerful/explosive in warmups. Lets see.... 5 hours of sleep tonight and i can shoot for an hour before work!

Well...since then. havent played much until today. Easy tomahawk off 1 step and damn near got a one hander off vert. Pump reverse off a lob was cool. Sqautting 425 for a single now at 181lbs. Pulled 445 for triples last week. Trying tonget strong without losing speed so I upped speed days to 2x a week. Feel fine recovery wise and i have no clue why. Sleeping 3-4 hours a night. Drinking almost every night with friends or a few girls but not a lot. Im eating better tho and more motivated than ever. Quick recap. Basically.

Weighed in at 179.8 lbs today. Felt bouncy in warmups. Not strong on warnup squats but got a 425 single. 5x3 at 365. FS was 3x5 at 225. Even tripled 225lb step ups. Skipped calves and leg extensions. Sigh. Hit core. Its late. This update sucks. And i am sorry.

Fucccccccckkkkkkk
So. Ive been lifting still and switched up the schemes but I haven't been jumping as much and I dont feel super springy (might be because im at 184lbs) but...I went and hooped today with some out of town buddies that are in for the car show (we literally have 500k people in town...our population for the county is ~75k iirc lol... its gridlock traffic everywhere but amazing cars). Anyways...was playing ok. Had an in game one hander and was getting looser and looser. After we played I got a off the dribble windmill and was like fuck it.
FUCKING OFF THE DRIBBLE BTL! I lost my damn mind as did like 30 other people lol! Sadly no one was videoing so I tried 4 more and got close but couldnt get another. Dammit. I went and asked for the security cam footage and the sweet lady behind the desk told me to come back Monday to try and find it. Ughhhh! I hope i can pull it off their cameras!!!!!!

Thats based on the old myth that you cant lose fat AND gain muscle. Pretty sure its been debunked scientifically and ive personally seen 2 guys that Ive trained in the last 3 months (both already in decent shape as they are hoopers) lose weight and gain muscle. Their tested BF% went DOWN even tho they gained 4 and 6 lbs respectively.
Edit: (more info) both started off in the high teens/low 20s BF %. The one at 18% is now around 14% and the one at 22% is now at 19%. True its not drastic but its measurable results (7 point caliper test) in only a few months. Yes they initially dropped weight for the first 2 weeks then stabilized then gained but the entire time their body comp had noticable changes.

Have you had your BF% checked?
I think youre going about this all backwards. The dieting youre doing wont help much hecause youre killing muscular gains as well. Yes your BF% goes down but so does your strength relative to BW. Building muscles burns fat as well dont forget that. I second LBSS. Stop thinking of BF, scales and mirrors. Lift heavy. Go jump and play. Eat clean but for gods sake do EAT. And let the pieces fall where they may. i think youll be pleasantly surprised.
Edit: I say this because as an athlete... I see more harm in manipulation of BW than anything else. You will find a happy medium but you have to let your body get there thtough training and eating clean (not starving yourself). BW manipulation seems to be something a bodybuilders need more than athletes.
