hmmm... so what are those lateral hop things for? i dun see u prescribing me exotic BW stuff like that haha!

lemme get back to u re the schedule eh?

- GPP : 8 weeks
- STRENGTH : 4 weeks
- PEAK: 4-6 weeks

if this is what is required, then fuck, lets do it.
would i be able to recover in time for the weekend game during my GPP phase?

the travelling time to the company gym is a bitch, so imma go look at the gym memberships near my place...

hell man, i was beginning to think that i just wasnt destined to at least dunk once haha... just glad that something good happened at least once... need to work on my runup/planting!


lifting up to 4x a week in a strength block...  :o
i dun think i could handle that, i meaning squatting a few times a week!

i was asking that cos i dun see u prescribing me those jumping type exercises like lateral jumps and the like...

if thats the case... the current season should be winding up in 2 weeks, afterwhich is a month's break, before the next season.

we'll be doing this peaking thing for a week or 2, after which we're gonna start with blocks of GPP and strength/explosiveness work?

can each block be shortened to say abt 3 weeks or so? i'll confirm how many times a week i can workout! :)

adarq, what phase of the training am i at now?

was listening in to Jack's audio convo with that explosive edge guy. u were mentioned in that audio interview as well.
they were saying how it might not be that important per se, getting strength levels up, beyond like 2X bw or something.

thing was, they also didnt say what was needed haha...

heh heh heh.......

replaced the workout today with the weekday league game.
its the court where i took my vid. think previous best there was abit of palm. this court is higher than the other one, where i got my entire palm over... so translated over, that jump would probably be about somewhere on my palm.

but today... i got my entire palm over at the higher rim as well!
definitely a pr, not sure how much though. if that estimation by vag earlier, of 3 inches above equals to abt 35 inch... this should be about about a 39... but if thats pushing it, a 38 should be pretty safe.

my planting definitely needs some work. all the time, i was trying to be really forceful and aggresive in the plant, trying to put my strength to use. but the pr jump came when the jump was kinda relaxed, like the plant wasnt really aggressive, more like a smooth jump.

i felt ok, but the vert was nothing to write home about haha.

was jumping in my gym shoes, some nike frees, so it affected my plant abit. i think i gotta show u guys some film or something, i think the plant or runup needs some tweaking, i have a feeling its kinda a sticking point now...

the first set of the squats felt tough.

dunno why though, my strength levels are at the best ever, and personally i think i look meaner than ever.

oooh, thanks man, appreciate the effort!  :)

thurs workout was good, felt good the entire session.

but sat game was against another good team, played hard whole game.
still felt fresh, after the game, but could not better previous efforts, only managed to get most of my palm like 2 or 3 times, though it sure felt like i could go up more :/

damn... not doing too good it seems...
just gotta keep pushing and hope for things to fall thru!

week 34
adarq week 6: thurs A

FAIL session. fuck.

yesterday's recovery workout became a full blown workout for me.

every sprint was max effort, i was trying to be explosive out of the blocks, and every stride i was focussing on minimising stride time.

hams were abit sore today.
generally don't do too well on outdoor courts, partially cos of the shoes i suppose.

outdoors, i wear my beater huaraches 2k5. comfy as hell, but they were never really very stable. and to make things worse, the midsole on the right shoe was peeling off.

FUCK!

best solitary effort was only 2 inches above.

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!
