Wow some pretty high intensity runs mixed in here. Not sure I could match this  Nice session.

hah cool, thanks! dno, maybe not on your own (right now), but if you were training with me I bet you could. You're in good shape & if you had someone to train with, it'd be alot easier. Those 400m workouts you did aren't easy to do alone... So I think you should give yourself more credit

Honestly I love how you kind of go through phases of exploring different types of sport and actually kind of committing to each one for a time: boxing, jumping, tennis, 5k endurance, walking, anaerobic intervals (1 mile).

thanks man. yea it's good & bad though:

I'd have kept boxing if I didn't hurt my hand, so that sucks that I basically got forced out of it. Didn't have the resolve (or insurance) to push through that. However, not boxing was probably a great thing for my brain, so I imagine quitting boxing was a good move.

jumping & dunking was awesome .. I miss it. One thing I don't miss so much though, is lifting hard. I just got tired of it & i'm still tired of it. I think my goals with jumping were "too high".. head to rim required even bigger lifts, and since I wasn't content with the vert I built, I started worrying a bit too much about getting injured & such. That's not why I stopped - that was a combination of other things. But once I detrained, just thinking about building back up to those strength levels would piss me off. Last year (2016) I got to ~33" RVJ IIRC without lifting, so i'm pretty confident I could get back up to ~35" with L-SLRVJ if I get consistent with it.. and i'd be very happy with that, if it didn't mean grinding out heavy lifting sets & such.

I actually worry alot about getting injured, even still to this day. I guess i've had so many injuries throughout my life that I dwell on the idea of receiving serious ones (again).

Tennis was very fun, but I realized after my first match that i'd have to dedicate way more time than I was willing to dedicate. Then I got that bad case of tennis elbow and I was just like, fuck it.

5k was dope. I'm still going to do those.

walking is interesting: I walked a ton when I dunked, and throughout my life. It's actually the most consistent thing i've ever done, when I think about it. And not just walking but, specifically long sessions dedicated to long walks. Even simple things like, walking home from school & such instead of taking the bus when I was younger, walking to/from basketball courts. The biggest difference now is, I have cool data to mess with so that I can really push myself & track progress. Now it's on a whole new level

I've also spent alot of time doing intervals too: for basketball growing up, for boxing, for jumping, for 5k, and now. I've always enjoyed experiencing "the acid". During my basketball days, it'd be rare if I ever lost line sprints/suicides etc. So going back a long time, i've enjoyed the brief intense efforts of ~1 minute in duration.

Since you brought it up I figured i'd reflect a bit!

TLDR: seems like i've probably done more walking + running + sprinting than anything else in my life, especially when you factor in those components as part of practicing/playing basketball. Coming in second would probably be single leg jumps as part of layups and such in basketball.

FWIW, I'd really like to stick to something again for several years and reach a real peak like I did with jumping/dunking.. If I could focus on walking/running/sprinting for several years without major setbacks/injury, I personally think i'd hit some crazy numbers at some point - even if they are just age graded / age group specific - which i'll be more than happy with as well.

peace man!!

^^ tyrone fell for the fake news.. lmao

ok so this guy is a globe trotter, so he's not unknown .. but i think he's trying to get more into the dunk game.

that video i posted a few posts back, is legit (minus some cam angle):



dude is serious.

i think this guy has more potential in the dunk game than he realizes... he's got the height + wingspan + vert to be at that elite level. TFB commenting on his vids "we need to do a session" .. that's the crazy thing, dude has been around for a while but he's not known too well in the dunk game. That should definitely change, hope he contributes more.

life PR: my net worth is now over $100,000 for the first time.

  I like the way you roll.

Its ok if it was a cumulation of quality life choices, effective savings and prudent investing.

But I do hope a little it is your bank roll from a string of late night high $ gambling sessions with a guy named Teddy KGB.

^^ very solid post.

someone on espn just said, "i believe manny pacquiao is a better boxer than conor mcgregor, and manny couldn't hurt floyd with 8's"

lmao.

lmao wtf? second jump is pretty nuts.. even if it might be a little low.

toast today. PR wreckage.

bw = 154
soreness = upper body (chest/biceps/lats/abs especially) from yesterday's session 1 pullups/dips, lower body  slightly(hamstrings, glutes), lower back moderate, hips moderate, right calf sore
aches / injuries = left foot (PF) slightly, non-painful blister on right big toe

right calf and left PF a bit better .. best they've been in the last ~3-4 days.

edit: during dog walk, left PF (seems more like a bone issue tbh) was bothering me, stretched the area and made it worse. heh.
- deep digging massage when i got home, loosened it up alot.
- might need to avoid walking for a while & definitely running, instead just hit high volume stepups for a while.. dno yet.
- i've had this before but this time it might be worse, seems to be taking too long to disappear.
- 



complete rest today.



tomorrow I might hit up the track again. hoping the complete rest would have helped a bit.



LBSS WAS RIGHT - hard to stay away:
- doing some light stretching to close out the night .. did a little so far, but going to do more .. using it to help me try and get to sleep earlier too, stretching light in teh dark nice and relaxed.
- feels so good when you "need it". :/
