olympic 1500m runner doing some MR tuck jumps:

Random as hell but...I have those same shoes. Nike Pegasus 32s. (actually have 3 pair lol) Theyre super comfy. Definitely recommend for you guys who run. Kinda cool to see someone that elite wearing the same exact pair i wore to work the other day lol!

hah nice.. ya he is cool. Him and his whole NZ/AU crew posts lots of good videos.

also.. u r a smeakerhead arent u? u have tons of shoes.

i think i will eventually become a sneakerhead for track flats.. I absolutely love these shoes. They are also so much more pimp (IMHO) than normal shoes..

www.instagram.com/trackspikesusa/ <- some beautiful shoes on there .. and they dont even highlight them properly, like real sneakerheads do.. Need better quality pics/lighting and moar shoes. I haven't found an equivalent "trackflatsusa" hehe.

pc!

Yea lol! I dont have as many pair as I once did but it's still around triple digits lol

Meh. Its the slow motion

But thank you!

Got in some speed work tonight.

Warmups.

Box jump complexes. Then some depth jumps. Leap ups. Pogos. Seated box jumps. Then some successive/progressive complexes. Felt real loose and springy after all that!

3x5 banded jump squats. 95lbs + the bands. Supersetted with 135lbs hang cleans 3x5 as well. Tried to explode all the way through each lift.

Hit some more jumps. Just switching it up after each lifting set.

Ended with some weighted box jumps.

Not bad. Not tiring at all which is good. I want to dunk tomorrow and just want to be primed...not wore out.

Oh weighed myself on the parents scale when i visited today. 181.7lbs mid afternoon. So id say im 179-182 during the day.

Maybe the best Kilganon mix ive seen so far. Whats amazing is...on a lot of these, he lands so easily. Barely any knee and ankle flexion. Like his body is capable of so much more.

Agreed with seifullaah73, we're a pretty tight group on here for most of us having never met. Its motivational seeing you guys reach goals in the gym, on the court AND in life. Good work man!

Hell yea! Its the little stuff that provides motivation for sure. Whether its pushing through a bad day to have one shining moment or a day when you just feel good regardless of if you PR or not.

Slept like shit last night but woke up to go shoot before work. Ended up putting in an hour and fifteen minutes of drills at 110%. Handle and shot made big leaps forward. Chilled for 15 minutes shooting fts because legs were jelly and then dunked for about 15 minutes. Short vid clip coming. Didnt feel explosive at all but judging from the vlips...that bodes well for the future i think.

At the gym now doing some light weight high rep recovery work on legs before hitting back and biceps.

Oop vid loaded! Tried BSing with the phone editor thing...turn the volume down. Its quiet during slow mo then loud af lol

Thanks guys! I see little stuff that can be improved but im still shocked a little. I stutter at the beginning and can keep myself upright more on the plant. May help some. Mostly my timing on lobs is wayyyy off.

That said my legs were junk for squats today after that plus work lol and i forgot my pre workout. Grinded out a shortened sesh tho.

Warmups and box jumps

bar x10, 135 x8, 225 x4, 315 x1, 365 x1, 385 x1.

315 3x5. Everything felt 20-30lbs heavier today. No way i get a 5x5 with good speed so i stopped at 3 sets.

Minimal core work and 2 circuits of front squats (135lbs x5 for speed), high rep quad extensions and some calf raises. Knee was bugging slightly so I went away from the original plan of step ups and heavier junk.

Not bad for how i felt imo. Must stretch. Its something i slacked on hard this year.
