i've said it before and i'll say it again: tip dunking IS dunking for me. if i can put a basketball in off a lob or rebound or whatever, then in my mind it's mission accomplished and i can go about trying to run a sub-12s 100m or squatting 425 or whatever. while still trying to improve my dunking, of course. but once i can put a basketball in BAMN then i can move on from this blasted* obsession.

no workout or exercise of any kind today except walking up and down stairs. i was in meetings from 8:45 until 5:30, came back to the hotel, worked from 6 to 10:30, and now am going to bed. tomorrow also unlikely as i have a working dinner. fuck.

*by which i mean awesome, of course.

well, i was asking for it.

the trip to dushanbe was fine. my dumb ass left my benadryl in my checked bag so i had a harder time than i should have sleeping on the IAD-IST leg. getting a comfortable position was basically impossible. i slept some, for sure, but fitfully. better on the IST-DYU leg, despite there being possibly the most insistently loud baby i've ever been near on a flight one row in front of me. god bless ear plugs.

gonna head to the office in a little bit, will try to get at least some light exercise tonight to get loose and have a good stretch before i pass out.

It's not a conspiracy, it's marketing

sweet gentle god, where is the video of that FT line dunk. even if he missed it, that's unreal.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little tight but not painful
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- jumps x ~30
started off really strong, finally got to practice a few lobs with avishek but i just didn't have the height, plus it was the first time every doing them so timing and rhythm were messy. wasn't at my all-time best height either. he gave me some helpful feedback on my SLRVJ, too. he definitely had the height on a couple jumps but the timing/placement wasn't there. oh well, was good to finally try some lobs, even if i don't feel like i was all that close to getting one.

leaving for two motherfucking weeks in tajikistan on saturday night.

Can you overreach like crazy now and taper while you are gone?

i'm gonna try to do ME jumps at lunch today. but otherwise it's gonna be DB shit, SVJ, drop steps, and secondary plyos for two weeks.

the french announcers for that dunk are absolutely great. i can't understand a word of it but it reminds me a little of that crazy argentine announcer calling the goal of the century, where at the end he's crying and apologizing to the viewers for his tears.
