Interesting week so far... got back into my routine Monday with squat day. Going to try to progress for 4 hard weeks and see if i should.peak or keep pushing. Got 375lb for top single, 325 7x3 on my sets. Kept assistance work at same 8-12 rep range.

Got sick Monday night. Lost 4 lbs. WTF. Felt better late Tuesday. Said F it Wednesday and did back/biceps and some plyos. Felt alright afterward. Got a call...guys are in from school, closed gym run. 3 D2 guys, one who is probably going to the SEC next year for his JR year and a kid who graduated with my lil sis and plays semi pro overseas (China last year). Good damn runs. Did my thing and got buckets. Got in a fun dunk session afterward with 3 of the guys and holy fuckballs! I didn't feel explosive but i landed a clean windmill of the dribble, rattled kn a two hand 360, still missed the mill of the glass but backironed a lob BTL. The guys said i was getting up pretty well so i tried a BTL off the dribble and got himg on the front of the rim. Im shocked. I DEFINITELY didnt think i could get anywhere close to that. I did a few max jumps and I think a buddy got the last one on his phone, I'll ask him but it wasnt my best :( Oh well. Excited as hell!!!

Did you look at the punch counts Raptor? PBF threw more punches more accurately. And he controlled the ring more than Manny, he went where he wanted for most of the fight.

Got bored...went and shot and ended up having a mini dunk session for some high school kids. One was realllly close to getting one so i gave h some pointers and tossed him some oops. Surprised myself once i gotwarmed up, was pretty bouncy. Caught some nice stuff off the glassand backironed a mill off the glass. Got way up on a shitty toss lob that i threw too high. Felt awesome!

Well...didn't exactly take it easy but i feel ok, probably 85-90% to where I was at so not too bad.

Rec league tourney game Thursday night, quarterfinals. Close game throught out, I tried to keepy minutes low knowing if we won we had semis an hour later. Played 25ish minutes and got the game winning layup with 4.3 seconds left to go up 109-108. Got hammered on the way up across the right arm and shoulder as he was intentionally trying to foul but he just couldn't jump high enough to really affect the shot so I just laid it in lefty on the way down. Felt good to hit a game winner again. :)

We got trashed in the second half of the semis tho, up 9 at half time and lose by 12. SMH. Too many guys trying to get back all the points on one possession vs just playing the game and letting a run happen. Bah.

Felt ok Friday so I deadlifted, definitely not as strong as I was. Went top single 385 and it was a little harder than a few weeks backs 395. Got all my reps in though including assistance work.

Did chest and tris along with some light plyos today. Plan to shoot around and squat tomorrow!

Thanks. I got released today at noon and we still have no real idea what the what the hell is going on. Yay. The docs said i could resume regular activities if I was up to it....so I went and hooped because we we're in the 2nd round of a rec league tourney. Im dead tired after only 21 mins but played ok. 17 points and some boards and a couple steals in a blowout win. Thank god because I'd be back in the hospital if i had to go all 40 lol! Plan is to try and take it easy and resume lifting Monday.  We shall see. Thanks for the well wishes guys!

Sigh. The goal is ALWAYS to become unconscious at the movement. When that happens you'll jump your best. All your training is just for that...so that you can still have proper form and approach without thinking.

On the mend....trying to eat to gain some weight back but still eat clean.

Dicked around in the weight room yesterday while the woman did back/biceps/core. Warmed up with squats to 315 then did a bunch of singles at 315. Same thing with deadlifts. Can tell Im weak at 178lbs lol but it felt easier than i was expecting. Hoping to be back tight wherei was in a week or two. Shot around for about 30 mins afterwards.

Thanks LBSS, being sick sucks.

Today im gna do some light back/biceps work and maybe take the car put to the rod run in town, looks like this ones a good one. Traffic is stopped everywhere lol

Bleh. Had to skip squatting yesterday. :( Came down with something Sunday night/Monday morning and have dropped 8lbs so far. Hoping Im almost through it and we'll see what happens. Hoping to go light on Friday, maybe just squat and dead 225 to keep the movement fresh and see how i feel. Bah.

Successfully got in a chest/tri day....which is rare :D lol

Anyway...felt good, wont be able to shoot tomorrow for shit. My girl wasnt done with her leg day yet so I messed around with some hang cleans to try and get my form back for the planned explosive block in a few weeks. 135 x a bunch and some 185 singles.  Pleasant surprise with how they felt.

My advice? Volume, volume, volume. You can't become highly profecient at anything if you don't do it. Go try one of the 5x5 programs and see what happens.

I look at it like this, barring something magical you've probably reached your sprinting and speed limits relative to your strength and reactivity. Thats why you are stalling. To fix that you either have to become more reactive (difficult) or stronger (not as difficult). So focus on some strength while maintaining your sprint volume and efficiency.  Dont be afraid if you gain some BW as long as its lean muscle and not a ton of fat.

If I wanted to get bigger right now, Id probably start squatting 2x a week vs one and add some volume (probably a 4x10 or 5x8 program or similar vs my current 7x3). You gotta grow man, the buddy i referenced earlier added 15lbs of BW during that time span but his relative strength still increased!

Friday April 10 2015

warmups and some jumps/plyos for activation

weight at 185.2lbs in gym clothes/shoes. Probably 183ish sans clothes lol!

Deadlifts:
135 x5, 225 x3, 315 x1, 345 x1, 395 x1!!! Wasnt 'easy' but smooth and controlled with no form issues.

345 7 sets of 3.

Circuits 4x10 each: BSS (130lbs), ham curl (145lbs), seated calf raise (150lbs), glute kick machine (130lbs) and straight leg deads (135lbs). Dear god. Usually i break up the circuit with core work but tried it all with 30 sec rest between sets. Fuck. Lol! Pump is real. Ended with 500 reps of various weighted core stuff, usually i get 800-1000 reps in but i was deaddddd. Awesome session!
