110703 Vert Test, This time, I focus in technique and jumpping method!
This is my 3rd consecutive Sunday vert test back in my old home in that old court where I started jumping 6 years ago...
My first week, I knoew I wont get a shocking new height.. but I did expect some gain... which never happened.
My 2nd week, I got no where... I nailed a good jump...which got me some hype, but when i got home.. I saw a old video cap from Oct 2010....and found out I am back at the same level as before.. no improvement.  Disappointed.

My thrid week, same sunshin, same Sunday, even that same old man shooting basketball like soccer throw in is on the court.  I finally made some gain.

I started warmming up by jumping shooting here and there and stretching my hip flexor.  I got sort of tire due to the sun, and sweat alot.

Than i preform stand still vert for 4 time or so.... no improvement.  On to running 2 step... same bullshxt...
I continue to jump.. and rest and pratice 2 steps stop jump, hop stop jump, swing my arm... and etc.

I start to jump again, focus in mataining speed, smooth approch, no stuttered step, toe point foward, and timing of arm swing.

Bamg!   
The following 3 or 4 running jump are all great with new height!  I even retest my stand still, and seems to got higher.

Moral of the story:
Warm up the CNS for testing Vert.  Warming up the muscle can not release the full power needed for vertical!

I felt that today, personally.

110616 Vert Training b4 basketball training To is my first time joining the training of another team. but i have 1 hour spare time after work for my regular vert training.
Hang Clean with depth jump alternation
87lbs 1x3
168lbs 1x3
Djump 3x3

After that, I took 1 hour train to the out door court and see the team with a coach. Infront of me is 4 twenty some yrs old kids with a coach along with a raining wet outdoor court.

The Real Ball Training?
Because is raining, no body showed up, and because is raining and slippery, we can not do much... so we shoot around the key, and played 2 round of horse.
Then the rain stop, but the court remain wet.

The coach instruct us to do the following fundamental and physical training.

Stretching... the usual things
Happy Feet: 40 rapid tapping foot on the toe at base line mid court and other base line, 4 trip (My leg started giving out on me after first round... tough as hell...

Push up with crawling: 2 push up, steps crawling, 2 push up  side to side, 4 trip (After 1 round, my arm start to hurt. at the last round.. i can not finish the 2nd push up, i pretty much dropped myself as I try to go back up.)

Between the leg handling: Move ball side to side with out dropping, forward 10, backward 10, baseline to baseline.  I am surprise I am actually good at this.

Shoot under the rim side to side: 20 shots, side to side 5 round.  Miss 1 shot, run 1 lap.  I am also pretty ok at this. I missed total 3 or 4 shoot out of the 100.

That's it, in front of 4 of this kids, I look the oldest and the strongest... but I have no endurance.  and honestly... I feel like Jason Kidd... being a oldies on the court. (the coach is a few years older then me only.... I do feel out of place in front of this young gun)  Took me 1 hour to head back home at 12:05 am.

PS.
That is a Thursday, I felt ok heading to work on Friday with slight pain 24 hrs post workout.  Than on Sat. approaching 48 hrs post workout, my whole upper body exploded with sore pain.  My triceps is so contracted that I can not flex my bicep, my arm can only bend 90degree trying to reach my shoulder.  The wrose part is, my upper back where my wing is are also destroyed. I can not move my arm up .. I can not turn or do anything without pain.  

I had similar experience when I started running long distance for the firs time, with leg being completely sore with problem walking.  But this is the first farking time with such extreme breakdown on the upper body.  For god sake, I lift weight regularly too, I can not believe this is happening!

I am thinking about joining this team and dismissing my own Team Vanquish... after managing it for 3 years...
or may be I will hire this coach and restructure my own team.  The decission sould be a easier one..

Trying to focus in what lance is teaching in his video.

Focus in JUMPING with the bar...

and I lift like this today:
