140821 Max Effort Jump Test for Raptor
Today is Aug 28th, I am extremely busy this 2 weeks, I pretty much not able to play ball or preform any Jump. Either the weather is bad or I am busy with work.

 I took one lunch time.. rush out and did all the test raptor suggested.  I end up could not finish in time.. and not able to take shower due to lack of time and have to wipe myself clean in the office washroom.

After that test... I was fully occupied with work and home... and it took me exactly one week to compile this video log.
I wish i can resume training in sept.  Which is around the same time Raptor give me new instruction.

Completed 5 weeks using Raptor working on your Glute routine.
(no significant weight increase in lifting, but I did try to focus in Explosive lift as much as possible... so lighter is suppose to be ok)

Had been doing Bounding session in=between every strength session.  Often in mid night.. after settleing down all the work and family stuff.

Exercising in the park at night is nothing new, I seen some girl try to lose weight doing half an hour of rope jumping.  and those rubber surface is so good make me feel like how DUMB i am.. when i was Jump manualing on concrete for months. 

On one night... I was lucky enough to encounter the unexpected.   At first.. I thought I heard/scared some Mouse while I am Donkey hopping...  later on I found out it was not mouse... it is some young couple having a good time at the park.... while the girl is donky bouncing on top of her bf on a bench 5 meters away from where i am Donkey hoping. 
 

Back to vertical topic,  although my Bounding movement is much smother and faster than before, 2 legs jump max reach had not improved. 
But for some reason, I was able to suddenly  touch the rim with a single legged run up.  This had never happened to me before.  May be it is the lay up drill I have be doing for months, or may be it is the GLUTE activation as Raptor is making me work on.   

Whatever the reason, it is a positive thing!

how about my short arm..

i had  a feeling, if i can SWING it faster... i would get up higher...
