PHASE 3 - Cycle 4 - Power workout

Bodyweight@session : ~196. Diet : you're doing it right!
Injuries/aches : glute almost 100% now , barely feeling it.
Soreness : quads 1/5 , calves 3/5
Expected to be much more sore at quads but it seems that wrong-LTMP-high-rep-submax-squat shit worked!

POWER CLEANS:
6x3@121
-Switched to 6x3 from 3x5 , more power-oriented.
-Trying to jump more / pull less the clean.

EXPLOSIVE MSEM HALF SQUATS ( rest between reps ~45 secs )
8x1@231 ( +2reps , +11lbs )
-Awesome speed. Last rep = so explosive i jumped ~3'', scary , DO NOT WANT!

STANDING CALVE RAISES:
4x5@308
-Different tempo than high rep , explode up , hold 1'' , lower slow.

you been doing any smr? made a huge difference for me when i tweaked my tfl. make sure your hip flexors are loose, too.

Did some light SMR and stretching. Kinda helped , but that's a different injury , from smashing it at a fall. Its is not like i pulled a muscle so i don't feel those really help , i just do them like i would normally. Its nothing much anyway , when i was jumping i forgot i had it.

24 March 2010

BBall game @ court with awesome floor.
Good endurance , good jumping.
New shoes ( hyperdunks 2010 ) still not broken , feeling a bit uncomfortable in them. The sole is awesome though , also i noticed i feel much better 'loading' SLRVJs in them. On DLRVJs i got a ~10'6'' dropstep touch ( ~31'' ) , 10'7.5'' ( 32.5'' ) off 1 and 2 steps. Jumps felt submax so happy with the heights. I didn't feel like doing full runups, probably because of weight ( weight after game ~197 ). I also had a hard fall after a jump, smashed my right side ( hip and outer calve ) pretty hard. Doesn't look like something to worry about , just gonna bruise etc , at least that's how it seems now...

22 March 2011

Weight@session : ~200 , fake BW , stuffed with food.

SEATED ROWS
1x8@143
1x8@154

1x8@77
1x8@77
1x8@88
-Improved speed@77. 88 is damn hard though.

CHINUPS:

Great jumps Andrew!
Hey , try to make an estimate of max RVJ on each session , log that on the progress tracker too. Doesn't have to be 100% accurate , just an estimation.

Ok , so 40'' is 9'6'', foam is like 9'5'' ( 9'6'' - 1'' foram ), looks like you're right there , ~39'' or so , maybe 40'' at some dunks, can't tell for sure, damn high anyway...

     

You into grip training?

Nah , just want to improve my ability to palm the ball ( pinch grip ) , 100% dunk oriented motive
