Thanks guys! Guess Im hard on myself...only downside, 5-8% doesnt leave a ton more I can go for. Ive been slacking a little on leg days and today was no different. im trying to balance maintaining strength without wearing myself down for rec league games and risking a fatigue injury.

Deadlifts today at 181lbs BW.

135 x5, 225 x3, 315 x1, 405 x1, 445 x1.
405 x3, 405 x3, 315 x8.

Did one circuit of box jumps, core, ham curls, core, calf raises, core, glute kick machine and box jumps. Felt pretty good and explosive today. Ate like shit tho. Currently moving back in with the wife  :headbang: and just running around all day screwed my diet. Pizza and ice cream for dinner...stomach isnt happy lol

Probably be laps and bounds better considering the average intellect on here. Competition breeds excellence and add in constructive criticism and encouragement from individuals with similar goals can only help.

Adarq said it best...this forum IS my training partner. All of you.

Holy fuck. His vlog/youtube/whatever you call it is awesome. First of the 'elite' dunkers that really lets you see how he trains. Hes incredibly powerful considering his build (long limbs, 180lbs).

I do need to film :( Jumper is NOWHERE near Currys lol! And I can only wish to dunk in traffic like Russ! My game is more patterned towards a mix of... AI with a little Kobe? I prefer wing ISO like AI did where I can create for my self or others but Ive really put in work on small stuff like faceup footwork and working of PnRs for mismatches and I love 1/2 dribble pullup jumpers like Kobe uses. Ive actually slowed down in points around the rim the last few years, gotten smarter and taking less contact at the rim for that pull up 8-12 footer will lengthen my ability to play I hope. Ive also learned to conserve energy, not to tale plays off but to really pick and choose when to try and take over a game. Its not only more efficient but i think it worries opponents more. They have to stsy on their toes but the mental aspect that the guy they are giarding can suddenly run off 8-10 in a row must help.

Thanks tho! Those comparisons are flattering but i guess i did leave out i had a layup blocked and missed 3 straight 3s in the middle of the forst half lol

Wow, you all really think it's that low?! Damn. I was thinking 8-10%. Cool.

2-0 in rec league! And i went the fuck OFF in this game. :D Had a baseline dunk in the first half, went crazy the last 7 mins of the 2nd half and kept us in the game almost by myself on offense and D. Blocked a last second 3 pointer on an iso play to end regulation tied. Hit a dagger step back 3 to go up 104-100 with 31 seconds to go in OT (yea...I called game with the ball still in my hands going up for the jumper lol) then had a block, rebound and layup sequence (and the foul) to seal the game. Actually felt like old, vintage me. Completely different from Mondays game. Probably helped I was playing against who i normally.play with and we were playfully shit talking each other all game. :)

Last nights workout at midnight...ughhh. Kinda tired this morning. Game at 745 tonight lol!

Squats: bar x8, 135 x5, 225 x3, 315 x1, 365 x1, 365 x1, 315 x2, 315 x2. Didnt want to fatigue myself too much with a game today and knowing id get poor sleep so just made every rep explosive. Probably too much so I was in my toes trying not to jump on the 315 doubles lol!

Light weight calf raises, 450lbs, 2 sets of 12 paused/explosive.

Tried KFs version of jump squats on the sled squat thing machine (formlack of a better word smh). Did some SL 55lb reps and some 130lb reps in DL. Felt more potentiated on these for my box jumps than I do from BB jump squats (or maybey CNS was just wired well last night?). I'll find out soon enough when I do them again.

Half a core workout at BW instead of weighted.

Feel pretty good this morning so we shall see how tonight goes.

Body comp photo, this was last week and by my guess close to 10% BF considering lower ab vascularity and such compared to this summer. BW was 179lbs this day around 8pm when this was taken. Ive been slacking a little with the lack of "conditioning" (aka hooping)


Edit....i broke the instagram embed tool lol someone wanna educate my dumbass? :)

Actually last time I was calipered tested it was 8.4% IIRC this summer. Its in my journal I might be able to find the exact number. 8.42 keeps popping into my head. 7 point pinch/fold test.

Considering that I'll rescind the previous 1.5 and go closer to 1-1.25 depending on day. Ive tracked calories before and its not uncommon for me to hit 4500ish daily. I eat all day lol! Average day is sausage/bacon, half dozen eggs, fruit for breakfast; snacks are usually cheese/nuts/fruit and I snack 3-4x a day. I easily eat over a pound of chicken daily and usually have a few burgers or a steak for dinner. Chicken breast is usually lunch. I grab a ~lb from the deli of tenderloins and grill them when Im cooking breakfast. Usually have a milkshake or something at work. I dont know many people that eat like i do even the big guys at the gym. I'll post a body comp pic iny journal in a few
