Interesting. What calculator did you use for yours? I read an article somewhere on the BMIs of past body builders vs todays that was intriguing. I'll see if i can find it and link it.

Decided to go back to my regular scheduled lifting which meant skippimg squat day (Mondays) and went to Tuesdays...back and biceps...and core. Went well overall, went through all my sets instead of cutting a few out like I did in season. Time to see if i can get to a lean 185lbs and look ripped as fuck (7-8% BF would be nice again) by spring time. Currently sitting at around 181-182lbs and 9-10% BF conservatively.

Schedule will look like this...

Monday: squats and assistance work with heavy core.
Tuesday: back and biceps, rotational core work.
Wednesday: speed/plyo day. No core.
Thursday: chest, triceps, shoulders. anti rotational core.
Friday: deadlifts and assistance work. Heavy core.
Saturday: back and biceps part duex. Mixed ab work.
Sunday: chest, tris and shoulders. No core.

Would liketo get some jumps/dunk sessions in on Wednesdays or Sundays. Preferably both. Work is slow in winter so if i can get 6-7 hours of sleep a night and eat half way decent (no more pint of Ben & Jerrys every night) I think I can do it. May deload in 5-6 weeks with a lighter weight week and no dunk sessions. Here. We. Go.

That sucks man, our lab passed away this summer at age 15. :( I use the gym as a retreat, music up and refuse to think anything negative.

Not easy by any means, I missed quite a few last night. Backironed some, mistimed others, lost the ball on a few. Sigh. Gotta get stronger, faster, springier. :)

Yea this league is BS but a bunch of guys from work wanted to play sooooo we did. Im very interested in the pro-am in the summer. I know a few guys Im sure will be invited that I hoop with, maybe I can leverage that and some coaching/trainers favors into an invite :)

Annnnd hurr. Plants look a lot better. Less collapse and much quicker transitions. Timing is still off a little and I think Im a little slow but I'll keep working on it.

Yup annnnnnd no foul outs. It really is a 'rec' league. Not like the summer leagues around here but its all we really have in the winter :(

If they could have fouled out I would have put the whole team on the bench lol! I know them all and 1 literally refused to guard me while another admitted he couldnt really hence the fouling. It pissed me off for a quick minute because thats just BS. If you aren't as skilled as someone....go work on it. Even I can accept a loss if its obvious Im being out played as hard to admit as that is! Like i said tho, sound strategy smh.

Lost in the semis tonight. Quite angry over it all. The literal game plan to stop us was....be inside Chris' shirt on the perimeter as soon as I thouch the ball  (forcing me to go to the rim, ok) then, foul me (intentionally, hard, wrap up style with no intention of going for the ball) as soon as I got in the lane. No FTs in this league just ball up top (only one ref, not a real competitive league but hey...). We lost by 14 and my arms were bright red all game with defined handprints from the holding. Strategy worked I guess. Fucking bitch way to play though.

Got some footage of some dunks post game to cool off. My plant speed tonight was MUCH closer to normal, guessing the playing has brought back some movement efficiency. I'll look at the vid later and pull off some good ones for you all.

Do you have any way to track your depth jump progress? Like are you jumping to/at something so you have a basis for progression or just going by feel?

Whats your rehab been like since November? How much have you lifted and jumped on it? Is it pain or soreness?

Weighed in at 181lbs tonight at the gym. Ate like shit/didnt eat much today. :/

Lower back is a tad tight but went away in warmups. Chalk it up to a lot of low back work plus the more physical playoff games this week.

Deadlifts:
135 x5, 225 x3, 315 x1 raw. Add belt and straps... 405 x1, 445 x1 (form suffered a tad, back felt weak), 405 x3, 315 x8.

2 circuits of ham curl, glute kick back, BSS and seated calf raises. Took it very easy on core and jumping today.
8 box jumps total. Need some recovery.

Went to the gym with my wife from 5-6 and warmed up, did maybe 8-10 cleans at 135lbs, probably 20 box and depth jumps all before our game at 745. Was going to be nicely warmed up but...she drug me to the grocery from 615-715 lol! Arrived at the game at 735. Thankfully I wasn't too stuff.

We lost, our shooter/2nd best player had 4 wisdom teeth pulled this morning and I tried to keep us in it but we lost by 7. I had pulled us within 4 with 2 to go but got a shoulder into my left eye, moved my contact and really messed up my depth perception. Missed a 3 and a 15 foot pull up j and that was it. I played ok but they had 2 good defenders that they rotated on me to stay fresh and doubled me on drives. We gave them a fight but really needed to stretch the floor and just couldn't. My face and neck are sore as hell...the hit popped my neck in 3 places and left me tasting blood/smelling it in my nose so I swung by my moms after to get checked out (shes a 30 year ER nurse). Sems Im ok, just gonna have a headache :/

Couple vids a buddy shot on his iphone after the game of me messing around. SMS killed the quality and its in slomo but hey...its here. :)

Yea I use the 45lb bumper plates and then normal 45lb plates on top of those, they dont move...usually.

As for the game, yes. I didnt get any chances at some dunks or anything real telling in game but it was a very boring, albeit physical game. We were just up too much (12-15 points most of the game) to really push myself. After the game I threw myself a couple lobs and was getting up well enough but my timing is all to hell still. Probably take a few dedicated dunk sessions after the league is over to get it back completely.

Weeks recap so far....

Won our first round game Monday night pretty easily. First time in weeks we've had the whole team (work mostly). I put myself in cruise control scoring wise, maybe had 20-25 all easy stuff. Focused on getting everyone involved and rebounding. Worked out well IMO. Did some chest and triceps after the game.

Tuesday i got in about 2/3rds of a back and bicep workout (about 30mins). Didnt have time to go through a squat workout. Wife's bday and we were kicked out of the house for an hour only so the kids and her friends could set up a 'surprise' party. :) Wasnty bday but i got a few rounds of presents too (this is surprising because normally shes wore out after one lol, ZERO complaints from me!)

Did my day before workout today so cleans/jumps and core work. Measured the boxes BTW, 18", 24", 30". I really wish they had a 36" box to really push my SVJ now.
