small recommendation that you(r internet persona) will not hear: in working to get in shape for basketball, do not think primarily about your weight. think about your sport-specific fitness. if you can run up and down the court and play D and hit jumpers for extended periods, then you're in shape, whatever your weight. you'll probably lose weight in the process of getting in shape but it shouldn't be your primary goal.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little when i woke up, but went away on jog to gym
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- SVJ, DSVJ, one-step DLRVJ x ~12 total

- two-step DLRVJ x ~12

- three-step DLRVJ x ~5
first one three full knuckles over, that's a recent PR by a good inch.

- cool down

- stretch

a bunch of layups during warm up and cool down and a few SLRVJ without the ball, as well. probably 40-50 total jumps. the first jump at each successively farther distance was the highest at that distance...weird. surprised at how good this felt.

Off one? :D

lol, yeah. obviously i'd settle for a weak dunk off two off a lob, that would be mission accomplished. but in my dreams i throw down vicious cuffed tomahawks.

this afternoon was walking back to the hotel after a funny experience in a series of taxis. beautiful day, slightly irritated at my complete lack of functional tajik or russian, slightly sore in the hamstrings and glutes, and i was bouncing down the sidewalk. strong urge to run.

just now:

- jump rope and stretch/mob x 30 mins
bunch of criss-cross, did 30 double unders at one point and practiced going in and out of double unders.

again, you are too weak to be worrying about shit like that. just do linear progression until you can't anymore. start modest and keep it simple.

you're too weak to be worrying about whether you should add supramax squats to your routine. no offense, so am i. depth jumps are a different story in part because you're not loading your back in the same way as on a very heavy squat and because you're not loading your body to the point where it literally can't come up.

just focus on making your legs stronger through basic means: squat, GHR, RDL, hip thrusts, etc.

I'm trying to improve running vertical most (off two legs) but still trying to do both. Am I supposed to train this differently in the weightroom? I know I'm supposed to practice the technique of running and jumping off two feet often.

nah, as long as you're practicing jumping a lot the gym part isn't as important. i'm not sure i'd set up a microcycle the way you did but i'm not gonna tell you what you're doing is wrong, either.
