More good jumping. A couple of 31.5, a few more 31, a few more 30.5 and the rest 30. One or two felt like PRs but I don't want to say they were any higher than 31.5.

Pretty awesome , consistent PR level sessions = no joke!

THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:






BLUE = current
RED = pending
GREEN = done

Bball game.
Endurance = very good , vert = bad , WTF?
Did only a dropstep at warmups where i got 10'3'' ( 28'' ) and a 2-step jump at half time where i got 10'6'' ( 31'' ).
Those 2 rim jumps not only were low but they also felt 100% unexplosive.
Whatever...

ok , FWIW for this thread ill state i also agree with both of you.
Glad i started this thread...
