Is Kingfish really asian? To me he looks like a black guy, maybe I'm crazy or whatever.

To me too. Not that i care about races at all , but in my mind i had kf as a 'blake griffin' type.

9 April 2013

Bodyweight@session : ~193
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches :  :ninja:

-15 mins jogging + dynamic warmup.

-Tempo runs:
5x80m
3 minutes rest
5x80m
~60-70% instead of 50-60. Run ~15 seconds / walk ~45 seconds
Felt good to push more today. Better breaths too and lower HR despite the faster pace.
Still not feeling like pushing 100%. Quad does not bug at all but the fear of restraining is still there.
It's all fine, i like this slow but steady progress.

-Foam roll.
-Stretch.

Did body measurements yesterday and today, same results.

Bodyweight (dry, in the morning ) : ~192 lbs
Waist : 90.5cm ( ~35.6'' )

Online bodyfat estimation : 17.5%
BI scale bodyfat estimation : 16.9%

Same bw but leaner, nice!
I've been eating around maintenance lately. Will carry on like that for the next week too, see what happens, then eventually start that cut.

5 April 2013

Did 2 sessions of foam rolling and stretching , 20-30 minutes each.

Foam rolling for reduced local discomfort is SO much better than just slow rolling back and forth. Painful as hell but it's worth it, legs feel great afterwards.

Legs stressed from sprinting after a long time. Some quad soreness and very tight hip flexors.

Foam rolled and stretched for 45 minutes.

I don't know guys. Ok, RFD is very important, quad/hip dominance too but i feel there is something more weird/uncommon here.
It is not just a 2*BW squat in the equation. LBSS is almost 6', healthy, fit, lean, practicing a competitive sport, doing his plyos and jumps ordinary...
RFD or quad/hip dominance should be the reason why his SVJ is, say, 32'' and not 37''.
25'' just doesn't make sense!

-Tempo runs:

It was ~50-60%, run ~20 seconds / rest ~40 seconds

-9'10'' rim jumps ( yes, rim jumps after 6 months or so  :wowthatwasnutswtf: ):
3xSVJs : 25-26-26
3xdropsteps : 27-28-27

-Foam rolling.
-Stretching.

Tempo runs were great. Easy, bouncy, fluid. Jumps were off the schedule, just wanted to know where i am after so long. SVJs were great , good height and no quad stress. Dropsteps were submax, didn't want to risk restraining my quad. I will phase jumps off again now for a while, will be doing 3 sets of tempo runs plus 10-15 minutes cooldown jogging.

Gym expired today. I consider taking a break for a while. Forthcoming schedule is still too busy to stay consistent, while i need/want to get back in shape and ease back to jumping.
I will take a couple of weeks attempting to : start a cut, do park stuff ( sprints/bball ) and do whatever i can at home ( pushups, pullups, bw/db stuff ) and see how it goes, then reevaluate.

- squat 335 x 1; 360 x 1 PR; 290 x 4,4
well, how about that. i didn't feel great, not sure why i decided to go for it. but a buddy confirmed that depth was well below parallel. it was a touch slow but never got stuck. cool.
