Havent been logging upper body days but theyve been going well...havent got to pay in over a week tho :( So no dunks.

To combat that i did some plyos/explosive stuff last night. Jump squats and power cleans supersetted with box and depth jumps. Some pogos and seated box jumps and even tried some SL box jumps...those are fun!

Kept the jump squats to 95lb+resistance bands for 4x8. Power cleans at 145lbs 3x5 and a 3x3 at 185lbs. Emphasis on quick GCT on js and barspeed on PC.

Really need to start hip thrusting again.... all puns intended since Im 'single' i guess. Fuck. lol

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: How high do you need to jump to BTL?

I think it has more to do with timing and hand speed. From what ive seen i have enough vert to BTL but my shorter arms and lack of technique prevent me from doing so currently. When I was dunking 3-4x a week I was very close even off the dribble but never quite had the ball control necessary.

That all said.... reverses, pump reverses if your quick, windmills and 360s should all be very close for you and achievable with practice.

Lol sorry, its in iPhone slowmo :/ So thats about half speed to the actual lift. The vid guy is new to lifting so he didnt know I'd want it full speed to see the bar speed.


Any typos are because im half a handle into this crown and...theres hot chicks everywhere. Im hapy. lol

Fucked up tonight. Dammit.

Deadlifts at 176lbs BW at 6pm.

Mood: rage, anger, revenge, betrayal. Fucking ready to go beast mode.

135 x10, 225 x5, 315 x1, 405 x1, 445 x1. Fuck! Had 455 in the bag but bitched out. Barspeed on 445 was great. Buddy took video on iphone...in slow mo. Sigh. Anyways still a PR at this weight!

405 x5, 405 x5, back to back 405 rep PRs! 315 for a 3x10.

Did some core and box jumps after. Finished with ham curls for high reps.

Still so mad and hurt but i know now whats up and what i need to do. Time to make a monster in the gym and on the court!

Thanks guys....been training a kid who wants to play college ball. 2 weeks in the weight room and hes doing really well. all simple shit. Good lil player, were looking at some small local colleges (juco, 1 d3 and an naia) just to get him in and hooping somewhere. After that hos play can speak for itself. So ive been lifting regularly.

Somehow....at 178lbs I managed to deadlift last night at 8pm and squat this morning at 10am. And did well.

Deadlift : 135 x10, 225 x8, 315 x1, 405 x1, 425 x1, 405 x3, 405 x3, 315 x10, 315 x10, 315 x10. Cool. Some assistance work.

Squats....hams sore...so this was unexpected. 135 x10, 225 x5, 315 x1, 365 x1, 365 x1, 315 x5, 315 x5, 275 x8, 275 x8, 275 x8. Box jumps.

Great bar speed on everything. Sweet.

Still lifting every day. Still semi depressed but i think its getting better. No clue what she wants anymore, hell, she doesnt even know. So ive decided to start moving on. I wont wait on someone who, even though i love her, doesn't know what she wants and wont try to make me a priority  even though she 'cant imagine me not being in her life'.

So...BW is stuck at 177-178lbs. Squat is weak. Started some volume last session, 315 3x5 and 225 3x12 along with some 365lbs singles. So weak. Deadlift is stuck at around 425-435 1rm and 405 3x3. 315 3x10 is easy enough tho. Guess I need to build some strength back up. Decently bouncy lately on the court...when Im in the mood. :/

Anyways thats the short synopsis lol
