Went in the park.
Not a jumps/dunks session , again mostly bball stuff , mobility/fitness and of course bball skills are the goals of those sessions.
As for jumps , hip/quad doesn't hurt but i can't do RVJs for shit! SVJs keep improving , today i was at 28,5'' but RVJs would be all around 30''. Mega fail , let's see if i will EVER do some stretching and foam rolling to help me recover!

Bodyweight@session : ~191,5
Soreness : hamstrings, chest , lats , shoulders sore , quads very 'stiff'
Injuries/aches : none

Went at the park, did bball stuff for an hour or so, mainly wanted to get a good blood flow in the legs and some cardio.
A few 10' rim jumps at the end, horrible: 10'2'' SVJ ( 27'' ) and 10'5'' ( 30'' ) in all other jumps ( dropsteps, 1-2 steps , RVJs ).

Adidas Recovery Long Tight arrived.  Wore it to sleep tonight, but next morning still feel like both leg are sore, especially the glute (probably due to thai kicking)

  You're supposed to wear them while exercising...Even then I doubt they have a significant effect. It's not like you put them on and magically your muscles recover faster. What do I know though, keep wearing them to sleep every night and see how that works out for you.

You sure?
It's not typical compression shorts, it's a 'special' product , recovery shorts to wear AFTER training:
Or am i wrong and it is just a gimmick marketing trick for just another pair of compression shorts?

Bodyweight@session : ~189 , AM
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : left quad/hip?


JUMP SNATCHES:
3@77 lbs ( +22 lbs )
3@77 lbs ( +11 lbs )
3@88 lbs ( +11 lbs )
3@88 lbs ( same )
2@99 lbs ( same ) , ( -1 rep )
-Much improved tonnage , failed to snatch 3d rep @ top set though 

BENCH PRESS , Lance method ( 45 seconds pauses ):
115,5lbs ( same ) :
11 + 8 + 4 , total = 23reps ( +2 reps )

SEATED MACHINE ROWS , Lance method ( 45 seconds pauses ):
195lbs ( same ) :
12 + 8 + 7 , total = 27 reps ( +2 reps )

-Not sure if my 'injury' is at top part of left quad ( vastus lateralis ) or at the hip flexor , it's around there.
-I always suck at going around injuries , i keep pushing before i should, so i tried hard to convince myself not to squat or DL at all for the next sessions. Weather didn't help for some submax sprints , i didn't help at doing stretching/SMR either. FML , gotta heal that shit!

I don't like seeing dunks in here , even beasty ones. There is the sticky dunk thread , and there are many dunkers 'own thread's.
I tried to make that point a while ago:

You guys might want to stop posting dunks in the beast thread , there is a sticky thread for dunks:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/basketball/the-%27regular-people-dunking-thread%27/

No big deal , those dunks are beasty too , i just think its better for everyone if we post more organised , especially when there are dedicated sticky threads for a certain topic.

Avishek and raptor disagree, what about other people?

^Not sure if wrong thread or bad humor.
