yeah i'm wondering the same thing. not ready to rest-rest until after i see the PT on monday. if he tells me to take a real break, i will.
i am going to try to jump and maybe sprint this weekend if things feel whole -- back is less stiff/sore today than after previous tweaks, which is good. otherwise i think i'll stick to mostly BW stuff for the foreseeable future. tweaks usually happen during some kind of weighted exercise, with the exception of that one DLRVJ a couple weeks ago.
might keep benching, though. it's fun and doesn't stress either my back (unless i've already done something else to it) or my shoulder. tryna get that 3x5x225. also jumping rope and lots and lots of mobility/stretching, much more than i do now.

me and my back have beef. warmed up tonight and was going to do a few sets DB jump squats and then some volume upper stuff. but on the second set of jump squats my back get all strained again. things felt fine beforehand, no serious discomfort yesterday or today until one rep it was just like, nope. it's much more distinctly on the right side now, and it's spread into the top part of my glute. i'm so frustrated. at least i'm finally going to the PT on monday, hopefully he can give me some answers.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: pecs, glutes a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- SL bounds x 4,6,6,6
- sprint 60m x 4
8.2, 8.3, 8.0, 8.1
- sprint 100m x 3
13.1, 12.5, 13.5 -- second rep really did feel much faster, "floating"
- walk home
- stretch
legs dead after the last 100. fitness continues to be shite, but just gotta keep grinding. a bit dehydrated, it's hot and humid enough now that i can't get away without bringing water to the track.

you shoot your hips pretty consistently on that 370 x 8. you're a strong dude and i'm a random guy on the internet, so grain of salt obviously applies, but if i were teaching someone to squat and saw them doing that i'd make a point to correct it.
EDIT: watching your competition vid the hip shooting is not as pronounced. maybe you were just tired for that one set?
nice job on the total, btw. 1402 is serious bidness.

friday:
did some jumps, which were kind of bad but not terrible. couldn't get a clean dunk with the smaller balls (#3 soccer ball, volleyball). bah. also did some upper body weights, which i forget.
saturday-sunday-monday:
lots of walking around in NYC, some stretching. much relaxation. the past few weeks have been really bad at work, which i think accounts for some of the bad training. not enough sleep and poor-quality sleep, high stress=drained CNS. feel somewhat rejuvenated after the weekend.
tuesday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
shooting stroke was on point, at least for me. probably hitting 80% from mid range and 60% from three.
- SLRVJ and DSVJ x 50+
didn't have real training shoes with me in baltimore so i just used the nice-looking but not very practical ones i had with me (onitsuka tigers). ME jumps weren't happening so i just did a lot of layups and drop-steps. you know, working on my 5'11 terrible-player-who-can't-jump post game. lol. still good to get volume in even if it wasn't the highest-quality work, i think. also, the rims seem higher at this baltimore gym than at the JCC or my old gym, balance. whether that's because my normal ones are below 10' or these are above 10' i'd rather not find out. balance was a regulation (high school) court, so i hope at least there the rims were accurate.
- bench 205 x 5,5,5
form a bit off but this wasn't hard. back to the normal gym/bar/bench tomorrow.
-superset x 2
-- DB step up 70s x 10L
-- 45-degree hyper +10 behind head x 10
-- DB step up 70s x 10R
-- 45-degree hyper +10 behind head x 10
- kroc row 90 x 12R,11L
seemed like DB was weighted weird, couldn't get it even in my hands. wish my gym had DBs over 80.
- pull up x 5
just to get a little extra volume in for the back, match push/pull. stupid i know, whatever.
- a bit more shooting around to cool down
- stretch
this evening will bound, jump and sprint. finally made a PT appointment, for monday at 2 PM. let's see what's up with the shoulder and the back/SI joint.

very enjoyable.
why do you call yourself "coach" though? seems like kind of a silly internet thing, like trying a little too obviously or too hard to give yourself credibility. maybe it's different in romania? but when i see people refer to themselves that way elsewhere i get immediately skeptical.
