WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head, like a mother
MENTAL STATE: headache

- warm up

- SVJ x a bunch

- superset x 3
-- pull throughs 120 x 20
-- dips x 12
-- inverted row x 12

- stretch

shite workout, but good to get something in before i go to NC this weekend. RVJ was not in the cards. mornings are bad for jumping or anything ME, it's hard for me to replace the all-day loosening and warm up that comes from just walking around and being awake. plus i felt terrible this morning. oh well.

it's a matter of different styles. VC was aggressive and stylish, his dunks always had so much attitude. green seems weightless, he's so graceful even when he's dunking over or through people.

VC is the GOAT, i think, but i love watching green.

it's wankery, i don't think it matters that much at our levels of training.

I'm not impressed either... it wasn't powerful... he just took off off one leg and threw down a pretty soft two hander... nothing impressive to me.

 :gtfo:

he double-clutched on a fast break through a 7-foot NBA player who was trying to get in his way. with ease.

my default squat is low-bar but quad-heavy. not much hamstrings.

if the guy is in reasonably good shape, and it sounds like he is, then the answer is to practice jumping. simple as that. if he wants to, it can't hurt him to do some plyos, sprints, and/or leg strengthening stuff like BSS, RDLs, GHR, step ups, whatever. but the overwhelming focus just has to be jumping; secondary stuff should NOT get in the way.

it's not an exact science, and that was for his basic bulking routine. in my brain it makes a sort of foggy sense to switch to 2x8 rather than 3x5 but i'm not sure it matters that much at the end of the day. 2x8 allows you to maintain the same intensity, or something like that. if you want to switch to 3x5, just do it.

Oliver Sacks, a neurologist who wrote one of my favorite nonfiction books (Awakenings) and is one of the best-known doctors in the world - definitely the best-known neurologist - dead lifted 600 pounds in a powerlifting meet as a young man.
