Didn't train yesterday but played the obligatory mixed netball game. As much as I like catching up with my friends it's a shit of a game. The girls take full advantage of playing against blokes and push, shove and even hit you and there's nothing you can do about it. A girl pushed the ball into my face last night and I got called for contact. Think the infamous Kobe fake out but if if Barnes had made contact. Only two games left though and we're done. Anyway, after the game I did five jumps and all were over 30". The highest may have been around 32-33". Still need to get down and measure and film some jumps. Will try and do that tomorrow or Friday.

Congratulations mate!!!! That's terrific news.

Discipline Update-
Food is going great. Have never eaten better in my life. Tons of veggies and good meat. Going really well. On day 9 of no refined sugar. Haven't had any junk food at all. No alcohol in that time either. Sleep is getting better. Chinese is getting there too.

that's awesome to hear.

feels great to eat like that, and no alcohol is awesome. keep it up!

Could not agree more. We've practically been low carbish without even realising and I'm not getting the general symptoms that I've had before when I've tried that.

Ball game. Slowly getting back into it. Got to the line for free throws a heap and my shooting form is slowly coming back. Last 2 were perfect. Had a clear lane for a dunk attempt and didn't even try. Got the ball on the wing and blew by my guy for an open layup. Could have easily gone up and definitely had the juice in the legs. Then again you play how you practice and I haven't practiced at all haha. Going to get to the courts this week for some of that.


11/02/19

Backward Sled (tank- setting 3) + 130kg - 30m x 5
Poliquin Step Up- 15 reps per side- bw, +20, +40, +50, +60 (used a 25kg plate as the box and a support arm to elevate my heel)

2 arm hangs- 30s x 3

Backwards deadmill- 5 x 60s
Romanian Rhythm Squats- bw x 50, bar x 50, 40 x 50, 60 x 50, 80 x 50

These rhythm squats are cool. If you actually find a rhythm (I used music) it makes them so much easier.

Straddle L-sit - 5 x 10-20s

Chins- bw x 7, 5, 4

Hips and back have been feeling a bit tight the last few days so went easy on the GMs. Spent a fair amount of time stretching after and ended up feeling pretty good.

His dad in the stands thinkin, "I told that dang kid to stop watchin those, Ball is Life videos!

it's funny but i also foudn it a bit inspiring. next time i get to ball, i legit will try to dunk it even if it's a 0.0000% chance i'll connect with the rim, just to see what it 'feels' like to go for an in-gamer. that will prob help make it more tenable to actually do it eventaully?

I actually thought the same thing at the time. Just the way he loaded up was so confident and everyone fully expected him to dunk it. That just made it more hilarious. I was thinking the same as you though Maxent that why not give it a shot and see how close you get. We're playing the second bottom team this Sunday. I'm going to 100% attempt an in gamer.

Another ball game. Body was feeling pretty sore from the last few days but it was 39 degrees so at least I was warmed up before starting. New team that I'll stick around with for a while. Played a group of young guys who just ran and ran. They had 1 guy who was my height and was ok but apart from that they weren't that great. We ended up winning by 2. I played pretty well for my second game back in 18 months. Pulled up great with no joint soreness either.

Funniest part of the whole game was when their big guy drove and tried a Westbrooke-esque dunk from just inside the free throw line. You know the one where he's dribbling on the left and has that nasty RL plant to finish with the right hand. Guy did the perfect imitation except that his hand barely grazed the bottom of the net at the end of the play. Was hilarious.

*Edit- I got a massive jump of a one step  RL plant. No real idea how high but I was at least a head above everyone else. Got comments from my teammates after it. Want to get some more jumps in this week. I think that's the "secret" to jumping. Get the body strong enough to absorb force then jump a lot to get better at jumping.
