ESPN 30 for 30 is great. also the OJ documentary is epic.

but yeah the talking head shows are infuriating. even kornheiser and wilbon, who i loved at first because they were the washington post columnists when i was growing up, are just irritating now.

long trips in cars, planes, buses -- anything that forces me into a fixed, seated position -- are problematic. specifically, if i can't move my right knee around it gets uncomfortable (although not stiff) and stays that way for hours or even days if the trip is particularly long. that's why even being sedentary at a desk job or on my couch isn't as bad: i can get up and walk around/extend the leg at will.

i can see how a really long walk could hurt. still, i took a leisurely and medium distance (~3.5 miles) walk yesterday and don't think that is problematic. but a really long walk is sneaky fatiguing. and extended standing/slow walking, like a trip to a museum, can also induce knee discomfort.

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 10-12
both better and worse than saturday. wasn't getting as high -- residual fatigue from the squats and all the time in the car yesterday i think -- but approaches were much more aggressive. that is what it's supposed to feel like.

- SLRVJ x 5/leg
got up really good on a couple (for me), ~31 range. inconsistent, but as with the DLRVJ at least a couple of these were reasonably aggressive and fast. improvement.

- MB OH toss x 5,5

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- RDL 185 x 10,10

- DB press 40s x 8,8
very strict, dead stop

- DB row 80 x 10,8/arm
DB touches ribs on each rep but i should drop the weight a little and get even fuller ROM like kf

- leg lowers x 20,20

- stretch

okay workout. it's beautiful outside, will probably take a longish walk after lunch.

in my exp. the shoe weight makes no difference lol. unless you were wearing something as heavy as hiking boots thats when it counts, but all ball shoes weigh about the same, i guess the only difference is the placebo a light shoe would give you lol.

don't underestimate placebo.

damn @ that 1 step vball dunk attempt.. looked really powerful.

also that 175 x 27 was beast mode. 

how did you feel after? sets like that are such hell when we do them.. but afterwards, usually feel amazing.

make sure to always train on saturday .. you seem extra amp'd up. good sh*T!

thanks adarq. and yeah no doubt about training saturday mornings. usually get my best jumps then. partly that's because of how i organize the training week, heavy squats followed by two days of relative rest feels like the best way to get primed.

ETA: also, legs were pumped up afterward but feel good now.

I could be wrong but it looks to me like your 1 step jump is actually 3 steps. I guess you could count both of the plant steps as one step cause of your hop approach. But what about the step you take before the hop plant step? Great height though.

It seems like you get a lot of horizontal distance on your SL jumps. Maybe cause you're used to bounding. Also your GCT is a lot shorter than mine for SL jumps. How high are you getting on these?

haha i can see why you'd call that three steps. to me it's false step-step-plant.

i'm getting about 30" on the SLRVJ, just touching the rim.

oh sweet mercy
