Went and hooped tonight...heard there was some out of town guys hooping so I had to come through. 
Won 3 straight, 2 game winners. 2 fastbreak dunks, one twon hander and an alley oop one hander
Missed a big putback over some guy, couldnt get a handle on it. Either way I played pretty well. Mixed up the mid range step back, drives and 3 balls pretty well. Had some sick passes 
and a couple huge blocks even tho they said I goaltended a floater lolol
Fun stuff. Guys from Birmingham all said 'man we aint got no white guys that get up like you".... i took it as a compliment. -___-
Getting close to the mill off the glass and the btl also, got a mill.off a lob that i caught about mid net and brought around. Was weird. I planned on just going up and seeing how high i could get but when i grabbed it i just started bringing it done and around lol! I was actually i the air thinking... huh...im trying to windmill this lob that should be way too high... idk. but i got it.

Monday 182lbs. Top single 385lb squat. 335 7x3. Core work and assistance work.
Probably try to push up to 405 squat / 425ish deadlift then start jump squats, supra max quarter squats, hang cleans and plyos.

Friday.....deadlifts. 181lbs BW.
Got my top single at 405lbs!!!!
Have a vid, will post soon. I think form broke down a tad bit. Not happy with that.
7x3 at 355lbs for sets and assistance work.
Saturday I was supposed to be resting but i went with the lady anyways. Messed around with some hang cleans at 135lbs to try and get technique back and did some straight leg deads and front squats at 135lbs too. I should probably incorporate these into my workouts somehow... Finished with some plyos and box jumps/depth jumps.
Shoot around on Sunday for 2 hours. No one at the gym...quite boring but i needed to work on my j a little. Not getting enough shots up lately to knock off the rust.
I think I'll repeat last weeks numbers this week (385 squat, 405 dead) and see if theyre a little more explosive.

Im no Tdub/Reemix/IsaacWhite/Hollywood by any means but Id like to see if i can get there through good/great genetics/reactivity/whatever you may call it and hard work. The only other person Id say is close to that would be Kilganon seeing how far he's come from age 16 and those first dunks. Which brings me to a thought...I started caring about jumping and pushing myself far later than he did so maybe, just maybe, our max limits are similar. Question is: can I get there before father time starts creeping in. I have NO clue where Id be jumping wise if I had started at age 16 or 18 instead of 25.

Thats the plan! im at ~2.1x bw atg squat right now so hopefully I can reach the 2.5x milestone without losing any speed during the squat, if that happens I hope im near the 50" rvj mark. I'll definitely be jumping max effort as much as possible physically at that point!

Im hoping a 405 at 185 does for me Granted I am decently reactive from what I can tell judging from my stats before ever lifting.
Sorry, I forgot to put my current stats lol! Right now im at 385atg squat and got 395 deadlift last week, hoping to get 405 this week.

« on: May 11, 2015, 09:24:42 pm »want to follow this log but i havent read much
what are you current stats? all time stats?
where are you at in your training right now? (are you in the middle of peaking, cutting weight, plyos, etc)
whats your next goal?! jumpin high as hell man
Currently Im in the low 180s BW wise and jumping pretty well for being in a 'strength' block. I have maybe 3-4 weeks until I deload and peak for 2-3 weeks. I dont bulk and cut since I play year round and I always hit some plyos/jumps before I lift as a warmup in addition to playing frequently (2-3x a week if i can, at least once a week). I'd estimate I can repeatedly get mid 30s SVJs and low-mid 40s (42-44ish) RVJs daily if I havent lifted yet that day.
PRs were set awhile back when I was low 170s BW (No upper body lifts for a minute lol) and only squatting to parallel. Now Im heavier but definitely stronger IMO. Just havent peaked it yet i hope. Those were around 46" RVJ.
As for goals...weights wise id like to see 405 ATG squat and 445 deadlift while staying below 185lbs BW. But that inly matters if i can keep my speed and explosion. I *think* I can get it this block without the lifts being 'grindy'. Jumping wise; 40" SVJ would be awesome but its not my primary focus...RVJ is and thats 50". Head at rim. Hopefully repeatable but at least once on clear video lol!
Judging from this horribly cut down iphone text screenshot from a friend I was close last Wed out of the blue
You can make out the orange box and see where the rim is from there a d of course my head. Still waiting on an email with the full clarity vid in it.

Squatted this morning. 
BW was 181.8lbs, energy wasnt really there at the beginning but it came up some (Im not a morning person, 9am Im like a sloth lol)
Top single of 385lbs....new ATG woot woot!
335lbs 7 sets of 3. Slowly pushing up to that 4 plate 1RM!
Circuit of 120lb step ups, 650lb calf raises (leg press style, save your back!) and some lunges. Did maybe 1/4 of my core workout before having to leave
Went and hooped around 630pm. Ok competition with some friends, had a 2 hander down the middle and a baseline 1 hander from outside the paint that i rattled in. That surprised me. I lost the ball on the step before I had planned on planting and just went after it like a self oop lol! Got bored and decided to turn it up the last game with the score 5-4 in a game to 21 by 1s and 2s...dropped 13 of the next 16 points
. Ice and stretch. Going to do some back and biceps tomorrow.

Well, Austin said he got my last jump and my 2nd BTL off the dribble attempt on his phone (according to him my first jump was higher and I lost the ball on this BTL but hey lol) so I had him text me the vid. Bad idea. He has an iphone...its now less than 240p lol! So he said he'd email me them later.
And no strangling!
Im gna see if some of the guys wanna do a dunk session later this summer and film it. We all usually push each other so if i could get Thomas, Devin, Sean, JD, Austin and 1 or 2 more together for an hour or 2....that would be great.
