Thanks Acole14.

Plan to do strength training with the following method.
3 set of explosive heavy lift for 8 reps or whenever lift started to slow down
1 set of steady lift for 8 reps
1 set of steady lift till failure
Decrease weight
1 set of steady lift till failure
Decrease weight
1 set of steady lift till failure


for leg exercises like squat, deadlift hangclean etc  (on the same day)

hoping 2 days of good sleep is enough..

Thanks acole14 and entropy for the constructive feed back.  Thanks for the ebook link also.
I agree with what you guys suggested 100%.  (I actually pay for the the Vertical Project only and I am not following it as I am trying out the shorter JManual.)

I will definitely modified the program to something similar to what Acole14 suggested and see how things go from there. 

Truly and honestly thanks for the supportive and feedback.  I am putting all things aside (things like basketball, and 10km run etc.),  I want to Focus in vert, but I still need to attend team practice which I will probably take it easy.

140115   Jump Manual Day 2/14 (core and upperbody)
Lunch Basket with All Core & No Ball:
Got kicked out from the gym caz I did not pay...
Went to the park to do 5 sets of explosive hanging leg raise and plank my way through lunch for 15 min. (4x1 min) Front Left Right

Upperbody circuits done after office hour.  Added new exercise know at upward arm Thrust, which is just a dude with hanging dumbbell swinging his arm upward to train explosive arm swing on a incline bench.

140116   Jump Manual Day 3/14 (off day exercise)
Pulled neck muscle yesterday with new explosive arm swing exercise.

Trouble sleeping, visit physio massage AM and went ahead with the "recovery off day" routine at lunch in park.
- 2x6 Max effort standstill leap
- 3x6 Drop Step Explosive Calf flex
- 3x6 Chair touch Reaction training (by standing up as fast as possible)

Finished in 30min, felt so hungry.... Want to eat evil deep fried noddles but my aching abs (from yesterday plank) reminds me to eat clean.

So, I turn into this healthy store and got some spaghetti instead.

You are what you eat!

Sort of worrying about tomorrow Intensive explosive lift session...

140114   Jump Manual Day 1/14
So during Xmas, I got reminded over and over by the Project Vertical Junk mail.  Discount this and that on Xmas or the Jan 1st etc...
It seems like a good deal and worth to try. So I brought it with the 50% off.
Studied the program in details... and found out it is similar to my previous Boinvert program. However I notice the VProject do have alot of FOCUS on the CORE strength (Inner/Outer) core.
Special focus on Joint stability is also available.  Its is a 60 days programs and it only have squat and Deadlift that involve real barbell.  Since I am changing job in 1.5 month without easy access to gym after that. I am not sure if I should start the VProject routine.

While studying jump program, I notice there is a Jump Manual Doc in my USB which I saved back in 2012 Dec.  What the hack.... I tell myself. I spent like 4 hours reading that document and I am surprised I had not read it in such detail earlier. 
It talk about how to eat and protein and stuff (which i skipped).  Lot of the concept and training philosophy  is not new to me.   However, when I look into the Strength training plan, it shocked me. 
Basically it want lifter to increase explosiveness and muscle Strength in the same day.  The plan is as follow:
- 4 set 8-10 of  85% of 1RM
- 1st to 3rd set, Slow decent with Explosive lift (focus in Speed, speed decrease  = end of set)
- 4th set, Slow decent and Slow lift (focus in form)
- 5th set A, 1-8 rep Slow decent and Slow lift, and lift to failure.
- 5th set B Decrease weight, lift 6 reps or so to failure
- 5th set C Decrease weight, lift 3 reps or so to failure.

also, in between set, do 2 reps of DEPTH JUMP.

Now, it is the first time i read something like this... (i mean i had read those Russian squat program from power lifting dude... but...what i mentioned above is totally new to me.)

And since the Jump manual is only a 14 days program.  I will seriously give it a try.

131027 Networking basketball League Game 1
Lost 21 to 69
 
But I played 38min out of 40 min game time... being super star of one of the worse beginner team possible.
- made 13pt (6x2pts +1 FT )
- 9 rebounds
- 1/8 FT (with one where I step over the line before the ball hitting the rim... lol)
  Seriously... This is the first time in life i preformed well in a official game with ref.  I guess I could gain some in game experience from playing here.

Starting at 2:08 i am in green shoes =.=

131028 Lunch Max Effort Jump & Night INTENSIVE COMPRESSED GYM
Lunch basket
May be I felt good about yesterday Networking basketball performance, or may be because the 48 hours Rest is really good, I felt like i am jumping higher then usual,  instead of hitting my wrist on the rim, I actually felt like I Dipping my hand inside the rim a few time.
As suggest by adarq buddies, I will only preform Max effort jump twice a week.  So tomorrow lunch basket will just be shooting around.

Night Lifting:
Last week I started lift both upper and lower on the same day for 2 session, with 48 hrs rest in between.  Will continue doing this and hope it will work.
I also decide to COMPRESS both upper and lower in to 1.5 hours session (from original 2.5 hours per session).

Today, after lunch basket max effort performance, I felt like i should be doing some Plyo... so I decide to include Plyo in my work out.
So Intensive Compressed Session become MORE INTENSIVE & COMPRESSED and I still manage to complete it in 1.5 hours sweating crazy.  (Isn't circuit training suppose to be sweaty anyway?  )

Add Upperbody circuit!!!
For months, i had been doing Lower Upper Low Upper 4 lifting days per weeks, along with 1  team training every Friday and Daily lunch self practice.  I feel that I am not able to recover... and this might be the reason for not improving further.
Starting this sessions, I will try to Merge Upper and Lower body on the same day and trying to compress everything within 1.5-2 hours (From 3 hours).  So that I can have 48 hours in between lifting.
Hoping this can promote recovery.

Reason for marking down upper body numbers:
That Brenda Todd dude who is selling funny looking program on Iphone and Android talked about Forced Progression.  He is Fat/Big like a monster... I am not sure if it is Related to FORCED Progression... which basically mean you have to increase by 5-10% weight in every lift in every 3 weeks.  That is one of the reason, why I documented my upper body numbers.... which had not be changed for many many years.... (when i regarding it as conditioning only).

What I meant by Funny apps is, the exercise demonstration is funky, Todd look like he is going to trip himself doing tuck up and frog jump; the cameraman refuse to use tripod, and I can hear him eating/drinking while taking video....  I mean... how can anyone take him seriously... with production like that....

Slipped the ball in once.. but did not record..

Try like 20 more attempt... and this is a miss.. but as close as it get for now.
