Had parents visiting me so didn't work out at all for 3 days. Let's see it as a forced deload/break! LOL

Bodyweight@session : ~195
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

Went at the park.
Timing was bad , it was cold , windy , had eaten 2,5 hours before going etc. Doesn't matter, it was more like an introductory jumps/dunks session.

Max SVJ = ~27,5'' , repeatable = ~26,5''
Max dropstep = 32'' , repeatable.
Max DLRVJ = 32,5'' , repeatable.

Although i couldn't palm the ball today , i was able to dunk 2-handed on 9'10'' off the dribble. Also able to dunk 1-haded ( cuffed ) but not hard, need more vert for that. Tried dunking 9'8'' but it was too easy so i lost interest after 2 hard dunks ( 2 hander and cuffed lefty , both DLRVJ off the dribble ). I tried to dunk 10' off the dribble too but the best i could do was lay it in touching rim at the middle of 3d knuckle.

Overall i am very happy with the consistency ( no jumps under 31,5'' after warming up ) , also with the smoothness and efficiency of DLRVJs. Awesome starting point for this year.

85% to parallel squat? What does that mean?

lol , give him a break!
It's obvious , his depth was 85% of the parallel depth , the distance he went down with the bar was 85% of the distance he would go to get to parallel, like we say half-squat ( 50% ) or quarter squat ( 25% ).

Bball game
Good endurance , good vert.
Legs feeling very powerfull , got 10'3'' ( 28'' ) SVJ and 10'8'' ( 33'' ) DLRVJ.
Wrist@rim , that always feels awesome! Also great to be there without any jumping session the last 3 months.

12 March 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~194,5
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : Hamstrings ~2/5. Were sore all weekend , i guess the heavy half squats hit them bad.

Explosive lower workout.

HANG POWER CLEAN:
3@110 lbs ( same )
3@121 lbs ( same )
3@132 lbs ( same )
3@143 lbs ( +1 rep ) ,  
-Nice! Not 'jumping' the weight@143 but i like this 11lbs/4-sets ramping, from jumping it at 1st set to almost failure 3 reps at top set.

EXPLOSIVE PARALLEL BOX SQUATS :
3@198 lbs ( +22 lbs )
3@209 lbs ( +33 lbs )
3@209 lbs ( +11 lbs )
3@220 lbs ( +22 lbs )
3@220 lbs ( same )
3@231 lbs ( +11 lbs )
-Definitely my fav explosive exercise, i don't know why i stopped doing them.
-Awesome explosion & speed although kinda heavy ( 198 = ~75% 1RM . 231 = ~90% 1RM ).

RDLs:
1x8@198 lbs ( same )
1x8@220 lbs ( same )
1x8@242 lbs ( same )
-242 felt harder than last times , probably because of sore hamstrings.

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
3x8@209
