« on: March 03, 2019, 12:47:12 am »QuoteAndrew do you think if i was fresher i'd jump higher? Hopefully you're right.
yes. if serious, questions like this from training veterans surprise me.
but .. you do realise if i was fresher and jumped 32" say, i would feel pretty disappointed still even though it would be a pretty huge improvement. My point is, if i was resting and getting 40" that would be one thing. To get levels i previously could get any day just thru training normally after peaking ...... is not ideal
the problem right now is i can't do a proper jump session because im either too fatigued from squatting or i've got to stay fresh for an upcoming squat workout. it's a bad place to be for jumping. i just need to keep making progress tho. something is better than nothing. The other issue is by the time i get to the court, im too hungry .. jumping needs carbs like crazy .. and for whatever reason, body doesn't tap into glycogen for dunking workouts .. weird thing. i'l have no energy to jump. yea i could eat but im fat

« on: March 03, 2019, 12:46:11 am »What sport specific training are you doing in line with the squatting to help with the athleticism.
Nothing concrete yet, thinking i need to restart doing cardio. As far as athleticism, i havent done sprints in months. Nor been able to jump or dunk seriously. So gradually introducing all of these things is the way to go, starting monday?

Good luck with the dieting aspect of it.Looks like i have about 3.5kg to lose .. which feels more manageable than 5kg. Have just under 50 days to get there though. Yikes.

Wasnt there a study or paper claiming injury rates go up with temperature? So training this way may be harmful

Down to 88.8kg today. I didn't do anything just daily fluctuation. Hopefully i'll go sub 88kg without much fuss then i can start actively dieting down. I feel like when i've recovered from yesterdays squatting (back a bit stiff, erectors a bit sore, etc) i'll be a 170kg+ squatter just from recovering. And if i keep working towards 8x150kg as part of peaking i'll be able to met the 2.0 multiplier along the way as bw heads towards 85kg. As it stands 170kg without the 85kg bw is nothing to celebrate ..
Andrew do you think if i was fresher i'd jump higher? Hopefully you're right.

- So summer is over as of yesterday. I decided to go for my summer goal of a 170kg squat .. it went ok. But probably cost me a rep or two of the actual workset with 140kg. That sucks, i could have forced the issue and ground out two more but at the cost of being too beat up to train normally after today.
- I went to the court straight after and did some jumps hit probably halfway up on my palm which is around 25" or so. That's disappointing. My friend asked if i can do windmills now .. no.. not even close. After spending teh eintire summer focusing on squat ive got nothing to show for it except being fat and slow and can't jump

I'd say the reason he didn't want to go to the sixers was because he wasn't sure Embiid would stay healthy (he has). Or if Ben and Joel would continue to improve (they have). They really messed up drafting Fultz sadly cos if they picked up a quality shooter that draft i would think Lebron would have considered them a lot more seriously. With Redick and a solid young guard they're looking pretty damn complete. Offensively if gives them so many options - the length and size and athleticism would be incredible and they could have improved by having Lebron guiding them to a ring. Guess we don't know what he was thinking but maybe basketball after so many years is just something he's not that crazy about anymore..

Him staying in Cleveland would have been ok if they had been good enough to put enough quality players around him. But they never could do that. That one ring he got in 2016 was from great fortune. Green getting disciplined, injuries, etc. If you play that entire series again, GSW probably wins 8-9 times out of 10. One of the biggest factors that has been overlooked in MJ's career is how lucky he was with the players who were put around him, the Rodman's and Pippen's get the most due but everyone from Kukoc to Kerr and guys like Horace Grant don't get the credit they deserve. Jordan always had a top notch cast around him when he was competing for his 6 rings. I hate jordan though so i wanted Lebron to win the GOAT debate but he has messed up his legacy .. seriously lakers why? Hope he enjoys his time there he's basically where Jordan was with the Wizards.

- Wanted to do some dunks after so i cut the workout short by the time i drove to the basketball stadium stuck in traffic, i was cold and lost the motivation, didn't even get out of the car just drove back. Next time i'll just go to the closer court, lol, wanted to try a different location for some reason. I should have jumped today though, at least once a week would be nice

Sometime this week i'm going to for the 12x140kg PR and then im done with strength accumulation. Will be switching up to lower reps (not straight away but building up for it) to see what i can peak up. It prob ends at 150kg for 8 reps. Somewhere along the way i need to lose about 4kg of weight .. and i need to practice full court basketball without actually playing full court basketball. Really tempted to just say fk it, it's not happening this year.. i haven't got the same prep i had last year when we were actually playing ball regularly .. at least up to february. I can't even find a place to place half court pickup this year, im practising alone and it takes me 30 minutes to put up 30 shots lol.

My gut feeling was Lebron going to LA was him saying that's enough of this basketball stuff now to do other things in life. But i don't even think he expected the team around him to be this poor. Ive thought this since his Miami days but he Lebron has really has been the worst off-court custodian of his GOAT player legacy. He should have put himself in better situations to win than he has. It's clear to me had he been more discriminating, he would have left Cleveland sooner the first time, maybe miami a year sooner and definitely not gone back to Cleveland. They won an unlikely ring but nevremind that. Not even sure why he thought going to the Lakers while trusting that damn fool Magic would work well for him. I think he would have been better off going to the Sixers and letting Ben handle the ball more while he played more off the ball.

- Haven't been daily logging but today i felt good enough to go for a PR and got it. Has been a rough couple of days of no PRs .. knees being beat up .. back being fatigued, abs being dead etc etc but today i felt recovered enough from that brutal 12x135kg of last week that i though to progress it.
- I also made the decision to bump the daily max up to 160kg to coincide with day 100 of daily squatting.. it went okay, i feel confident i can maintain that from here
- Got really fat .. im close to heavy weight status (90kg) and it's a bad thing when my athletic bw is sub 85kg. sucks

Yep, even in the NBA draft you'll have athletes giving comparable numbers but the eye sight test will favour a given athlete over the others. Some things are trainable but do not express themselves in a way we'd recognise as athletic. It's a stupid game, no longer trying to play it .. ha. It prob helps cos my vertical is now closer to 25" than 35"
