Oh god I wish I was 21 again lol! To be honest im not sore the next day im sore WHILE playing...which makes me think im getting an insufficient warmup lately. Going to have to be more careful before exerting a lot of effort/power going forward.

10k=opposite of training for explosiveness.

If there was ever a time I felt completely like shit explosive wise...it was after a season of cross country my freshman year in high school. Our bball coach thought it would be good conditioning...he was an idiot.  I went from dunking occasionally to barely grabbing rim. Took me weeks to get back in shape to jump/sprint. So...no.

I can concede that im very lucky to have access to courts almost 24/7 but it wasnt always like that for me, not until I had enough money to afford it. I used to shoot outside in the rain, at night, occasionally snowing. Hell I used to play 1v1 with a buddy after work from midnight to 2-3 in the morning in temps that were single digit Fahrenheit. Our hands couldnt feel the ball and the sweat would literally freeze in our skin but it was the only time we had to get better. And we wanted it. That's the biggest factor: wanting it and doing what it takes to go get it.

So yea, im lucky now but it wasnt always easy.

I wont lie. There's plenty of days I walk in the gym, look around and say....nope! On those days I just do drills until im tired/bored. Its the same repetitive motions/movements as in a game you just have to push yourself to drill as hard as you play. Its easier said than done for sure.

IMO running sucks for explosive work (talking distances, not sprints or gpp stuff). That said...the best way to get in game shape is to play! I do ZERO conditioning work (barring occasional 5-10mins on a stationary bike as a warmup on leg days) and have NO problems running full court for hours. And I play with college guys that put in serious time on conditioning.  Wind sprints, running, stairs none of that accurately simulates a game.

Just my 2 cents: wanna be in game shape, play more games.

Or the double up x over the car, right? I think he only puts his own footage in his mixes.

Fucking lost tonight. Im so fucking pissed I can barely see straight. Basically, I had to teach a bunch of grown ass men how to defend a damn pick and roll after we gave up a literal fuck ton of 3s on them. And apparently our winning streak went to our heads because we have post players jacking contested 3s and were lazy as all fuck on the damn boards. All against the only team that should give us a game in the whole league. How the fuck do we play like children THIS game?!?! Gahhhh! So...we lost by 12. It would have been worse but I picked up their 6'6 forward with 7 to go and blocked 2 of his jumpers and pinned a layup/dunk attempt on the glass. I swear I had a fourth block but they said I goal tended a floater lol all I know is I got up on it lol! I had 17 points but spent most of my energy on d and getting boards since we forgot how. Gah. If this happens after Christmas/New Years break Im going to channel my inner Keyshawn and just say gimme the damn ball and go from there.


So 8-1 now but still in 1st for seeding in the playoffs.

Oh and I back ironed a putback. :( dammit.

First off, forget Justins plant, hes a freak and his plant wont necessarily work for you. Which brings me to point number 2: stop trying to modify your plant to be like someone else's and just focus on making yours FASTER. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' plant just some that work for one person and others for another person. IMO your natural plant (anyones) probably is based in trying to maximize your particular strengths (ie why yours is slow, youre a power jumper more so than reactive...power takes time to generate). Thus, by practicing the toddday method you do 2 things: 1) you make your natural plant style faster and more  unconscious and 2) for you this will also directly help your reactivity.

Stop switching everything up all the time. Focus on your weaknesses and work on them. You'll never know progress if you change strategies every few weeks. Theres no way to track anything that way!  Stay strong and practice the toddday method.

Just went and looked :) In January/early Feb I was in a 'peaking' phase and was at 175ish lbs BW. Full squat was at 365 (+ 120lb of bands but 365 in the hole). Was managing 500+ on supra max quarter squats for reps (which I said then is a better indicator for me personally on my RVJ). Deads were lagging a bit behind then, 345-365 max (but this may have been grip limited :/ hmmm). So knowing that it seems as if im about the same now actually :( but the numbers make sense.

As for depth jumps/drops. Absolutely!  I usually do a couple sets of depth jumps in my warmups for leg days to keep my reactivity up. Haven't lately but im jumping a lot more since im 'in season' so my guess is its evening out.

X2! Your entire run up is wasted on your plant. You lose virtually all speed. Watch your left foot when you plant vs the guy in your other vid, or any proficient DL jumper. I can count the time your left foot is planted, it should be IMMEDIATELY leaving the ground.

Thanks man!!

Currently, lifting wise I have no clue. I haven't lifted in 4-5 weeks at all and haven't lifted consistently in probably 2 months. :(  I imagine I can still get 365 atg at 175lbs BW within a few sessions (where I was a short time ago). As for PRs, 405 to parallel at upper 180s bw was the PR but then I reset and made a focus on cutting weight and ATG squats. Deadlifts are my weakness IMO and my PR on them is 385 iirc. After this rec league I plan on pushing for 405 on both lifts and stay 170s bw. We will see what happens.

As for jumping, highest recorded PR was last January right before my achilles injury at 46" RVJ. SVJ was 35-36". Currently I think im around those numbers going off the vids and how it 'feels' when im jumping/what dunks I can do right now. SVJ may be down a couple inches but the RVJ is right there IMO. Id venture to say I can get 43-44 almost daily and if im hyped up and 'light/springy' that day I think 45-46 is achievable right now.

Sorry for the long post, switching up the training style skews PRs for lifting imo.
