bit quick but that's okay.

- stretch

went to doc today about my ear pain. she said it's not infected, but that i should use a different kind of ear drops than the ones i've been using to deal with wax buildup. apparently that stuff can irritate. anyway not all that satisfying. i mention it only because they took my blood pressure and it was 110/77, which is the lowest it's ever been since i was at least 19. 

Hello


I'm getting back into vert training. I still have a desire to dunk. I came so close before and have always felt like I have unfinished business. I want to start journaling here to help keep me on track. I browsed through this a couple of weeks ago to see what I was doing before that worked.

My vert sucks right now. I'd guess it to about 29". Over the last few weeks I've only grazed the rim a couple of times but am consistently within an inch of touching it.

I started squatting again within the last two months and have had a huge increase in appetite from it which has led to me gaining almost 10lbs. I think the weight gain has kept my vert stagnant despite the increase in strength.

Yesterday's workout:

jog warmup

dynamic stretching

short sprint at 50%

tuck jumps 2x10

pogos 2x12

4 rvj's with two sets of depth drops in between. I did a set of 3 then a set of 5 off of maybe a 20" box. First time doing anything off the box.





front squat 3x5 with 165lbs but only got 4 on the last set

I've been going back and forth between back squat and front squat.

My last back squat workout was 195 for 3x5 so I think my max is now approaching 1.5xbw. I'm currently weighing low 150's

Finished with two sets of single leg hamstrings curls on a machine.



Side note: I found a video of me jumping about 36" from 4.5 years ago. I think all I was doing was squatting and hang snatches and some yoga if I remember correctly. Unfortunately hang snatches aren't an option for me at the moment with my current gym setup but they seemed to work well for me.
