Ughhh. Spinal erectors are fried today :/ My last set of 315 Onswitched up my starting position at the advice of one of the powerlifters in the gym and I probably should have cut the weight to see if i was used to it. Solid advice as the lift felt easier but...maybe my body isnt set up that way. We shall see.

Chest and tricep day. 225lbs x8 and x6 on bench not bad. Mental state is still quite bleh so im happy with it.


178.8lbs at the gym. Fuck.

Alright...Im not dead. Feel like it kind of but not. Been so stressed I couldnt eat. Lost 8lbs. Weigh 176 right now. Hand seems to be ok. Swelling went down. Went and deadlifted...got 435 but about blacked out. No food....no good.  Skipped all assistance work. Drank a lot the last few days. Basically driving myself insane trying to figure out what went wrong. Her brother drove up from West Palm Beach and is staying with me...keeping me sane and helping me. Dude is fam for real. He went out and found her...they talked, rather he yelled at her for being stupid. I know that somehow this is partially my fault but hes right...shes not the same person she was a few weeks ago. Shes changed almost 180 degrees. I just want to know whats wrong so i can fix it. Anyway, she called me last night. Wants to talk later this week and see if we can fix stuff. I told her id do anything to get the woman i married back and I mean it so...we'll see. Sorry for the rant guys. Thanks for the thoughts and support btw.

Now...something weird. Yesterday...I lifted back and biceps...actually made it through the workout and did a 2x3 power clean at only 135lbs and a couple box jumps at the end. Went to shoot and idk wtf is going on. I cant shoot lol but good god...I could 2 hand tomahawk off 2 steps?!?!? I havent done that since the spring time pre injury?!?! And im nowhere near where I was vert wise? Lesson: low BW + potentiation= results. Hell I damn near windmilled a shit lob that i caught AT the rim.Should have just dunked it but idk...I tried it and got hung just barely. If that lob is a foot lower....i kill it. Weird

Have you ever actually stuck to one training method for longer than a couple weeks?

Yea its been happening for awhile now but i understood what LBSS meant

Yay. In other news....I havent ate in 2 days and seem to be continuing the Adarq relationship curse. Go me.

Went and jumped after a light chest/tri circuit today. It wasnt pretty.

Current analysis: while my 1RMs seem to be close and my strength endurance is meh....my mechanics/footwork and general explosive nature is all sorts of FUBAR'd. Shot some brief video and noticed these things:

●SVJ and 1 step jumps arent far off from where they were. Easy near wrist at rim SVJ so thats 34-36ish and weak dunks off one step.

●my RVJ is TRASH, because:
         -steps are very choppy. only getting a 2 step lead in basically
         -plant step is short by a mile. no real gather.
         -very slow transition from plant to toe off.
         -collapsing slightly in the plant.

So....gotta get some reps in and regrease the groove as Im basically trying to over power jumps instead of being fluid like I normally am.

Sad vid forthcoming...
     

Played pickup Wednesday. Went alright. No pains or issues just some soreness from actually cutting/moving/jumping. Wasnt expecting much of myself and I was a little rusty but did ok. Realized I forgot I lost some bounce when I went after a putback and got rim stuffed
