Bodyweight@session : ???
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

Bball practice.
Medium endurance , bad jumping. Jumps were powerfull but not getting up high.
Got 10'2'' SVJ ( 27'' ) and 10'6.5'' ( 31.5'' ) off 1 step , both 2'' below Sunday.

Eat more and sleep more. You don't have to hit non-fatigued PR's. Just focus on hitting fatigued PR's. They will eventually catch up to your all-time PR's. Surpass those by a good amount. Then when it's time to rest up and test a PR you're physically/mentally ready for, you'll be shitting bricks of joy!

This.

I think you did good to take a week off , but no more, the line between detraining and rest is not very clear.
Just get back to your template and do what guys here say.
Lift heavy + eat good/clean + sleep enough = win

^^^^^
Yes , i still can't get why you're not jumping way higher. 320@169, WTF , that should have you in the 35 area.
You're very strong relatively and absolutely , lean , you do your plyos , you jump often , don't get it!  
Then again you had many derails, those are major bitches.

High-freq jumping sounds nice , be sure not to wear yourself out though. When i was jumping almost every day last year , i would label most of those sessions as 'submax'. Psychology trick , just like you described about gym session : no expectations , no disappointments , just adaptation and technique improvements. So i would go like , e.g. , Monday submax , Wed submax , Saturday caff-up + ME. Worked nice.
Just saying...

LMAO wit the music. Vag it feels like a huge boulder's been lifted off your shoulders. Now dunk daily!!!

Thanks , Terminator theme FTW!

ZOMFG!!!!!

ME jumps/dunks session

10' rim , concrete

Bodyweight@session : ~196 , nice
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
Stim : 3 teaspoons coffee + 1 redbull

- 10' dynamic warmup

- bunch of low mid effort jumps

- SVJ : thump at rim , ~29''. PR tie , first time touching thumb at 10'
- Dropstep : 10' 7.5'' touch , 32.5'' ,  dropstep
- 1/2 steps DLRVJ : touching rim 0.5'' below wrist with some angle too, 33.5'' minimum, probably 34''
- 30 dunk attempts, sth like 6x5:
Tons of hard misses , ball above rim in all of them. Most of them backriming / going in through the backboard. Felt very powerfull , no dropoff too. Stopped to avoid wearing myself out. SICK!
