yeah that's a good point. felt very unconscious. i wonder if part of it was having spectators that i was interacting with, too. i usually jump better alone, but that's not true if i've been talking with the other people who are there. hm.

yeah i dunno. i always seem to jump better after an extra day of rest, for one thing.
i keep revisiting the double-hand rim grab, it was so unexpected. i almost never go up with two hands but i did unconsciously on that jump and grabbed easily with both hands. such a great feeling.

« on: October 06, 2014, 09:37:52 am »guy dupuy at ~0:42 is amazing. actually all of guy dupuy's dunks are amazing. then as the title says, lipek shuts it down.
i think justin darlington is my dunking spirit animal. he does the same kind of hop plant that i can't seem to get away from, but he elevates like crazy.

friends don't let friends skip leg day.
sounds like to need to rest completely for a little while, but you can train legs without relying too much on your calves. BSS, leg press if you're careful about where you put your feet, good mornings to some extent, leg curls and extensions, the list goes on.

the over-the-dunkcar* windmill is violent as shit. 
*thanks raptor, although over-the-dunk would be unreal: have a guy do an ordinary dunk and then another dude fly over him and dunk immediately over/on top of the first guy.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, low back but very minor on both
MENTAL STATE: great
- warm up
- jumps x ~15
near-PR levels, easy double hand rim grab on first four-step jump of the day, which is unheard of. easy dunks with the dodgeball. comfortably 36 on a couple. drop-off pretty steep as more volleyball players started showing up and taking over the court. not mad.
- squat 225 x 5; 235 x 5,5
low back/SI joint tightness there during warm up but it went away or at least stayed very quiet. no stiffness or discomfort now.
- bench 200 x 5,5,5
strong
- kroc row 80 x 23L, 23R
- assisted natural GHR x 8,8,8
- inverted row x 10,10,10
- rudiment hops
- MR half tuck x 15,15
- stretch
awesome workout, best in a long time.

I was just thinking about what acole asked about lean muscle gains. It's funny cause it confirms a theory of mine that you dont need to gain a lot of muscle to gain a lot of strength. I think i gained maybe a little muscle and mainly a lot of fat in my last bulk. But being in that caloric surplus for that extended duration of time allowed me to have excellent recovery and get stronger from my gym work. So I think this is probably what people mean when the say 'steroids help recovery' - it's not so much that they give you better recovery. Rather they allow you to eat a lot of food which facilitates the strength gains but additionally steroids allow you to to manage and deal with large surpluses without gaining much bodyfat too.
no.
