Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : glutes, hamstrings, calves, chest, lats, shoulders(?)
Injuries/aches : none

1 hour of bball skill stuff.
No interval stuff, wanted a long medium-intensity workout for a good recovery blood flow.
Feeling very good endurance-wise again, also very light on feet.
No rim jumps.

-Great for my standards.

CHINUPS:
10@BW
10@BW
9@BW
8@BW

Gonna give both a couple more sessions to get 4x10 and then will move to weighted even if i can't get 4x10.

Yup, it was acting weird for a while, noon time here so yesterday morning there. Delaying, sometimes failing etc. I went to those ping sites and it was viewable from like 1/5 of the ping servers.
Then eventually it fell for good, was down for about an hour.
Once again, thanks for finding the time and will to keep this up and running!  :highfive:

I am more interested to see what will happen to RVJ.
IIRC, SVJ was around 34'' again in the past, it was the RVJ that was not much higher, like around 37''.
That plyometric deficit thing or whatever it's called, that is where i expect to see huge gains from all them sprints.
Also, 37-38 was wrist at rim, so any kind of gains on RVJ would mean... DUNK!
Let's see...

Bodyweight@session : ~83.75kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

GPP PHASE - Workout #12

HIGH BAR PAUSED FULL SQUAT:
10@65kg ( -10 kg )
10@65kg ( -5 kg )
10@65kg
10@65kg ( +5 kg )
-There you go, 65kg is a nice solid base for 4x10 paused.
Was still very hard, this never gets easy. As the weight gets lighter i subconsciously pause longer so the latter reps are always hell.
Still, as stated previous week, this is a good base to build up from.

CHINUPS:
PULLUPS:
10@BW
10@BW
8@BW ( -1 rep )
8@BW ( +1 rep )
-Bleh, got confused and did pullups instead of chinups. No big deal, i do each once per week so will pick up chins on Monday.

DIPS:
10@BW
10@BW
10@BW
9@BW
-Same with last time.

LEG PRESS CALF 'RAISE':
12@220kg ( +20 kg ) , ( +2 reps )
11@220kg ( +1 rep )
11@220kg ( -20 kg ) , ( +1 rep )
-Found my solid base here too, adding weight when i hit 3x12.

^Good point.
I am at the other side of the river, i am the guy who would let the measure too loose to make sure i am not cheating.
I have developed a technique that is pretty consistent. I let all the air out and then flex my abs. That way i can't suck in, neither get too loose. And i tighten the measure to the point that it starts pushing in the side fat ( love handles ). I let it looser, then pull tighter, do a few iterations to find the exact same sweet spot that it barely pushed some fat in.
As i said again, i don't care that much about either the waist/height/weight calculation number or the BI scale reading. I use both of them together with the mirror test as an overall estimation. All of them combined let you know pretty well where you are heading to.
I think it works well.

Net morning weight : 82kg / 180.7lbs
Waist : 85.5cm / 33.66''

Online bodyfat estimation : 14.6% , ties last week's lifetime :personal-record:
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 14.8% , 0.6% higher here, oops!
AVERAGE bodyfat estimation : 14.7% , +0.3  >:(

Hm.
Waist is the same, although I am a bit heavier, so that is good. I look the same or a bit better, also good. Online bf% estimation keeps improving, great!.
But the BI scale keeps negging me. Fuck the scale, it is the less accurate and reliable from the others.
Still, i hear it loud and clear, it may not be an accurate measurement but even as a rough indicator i gotta keep an eye at what happens there.

Felt my legs too tired, so didn't go for bball/sprints/jumps. Did foam rolling and stretching instead.
I am glad i did, soooo much tightness! The feeling at quads, both when rolling and stretching, was pure pain!

No worries scooby, no big deal either.
I would like the whole posting to be more structured/modular, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
