Training day.
Notes:
Ive started doing pushups regularly .. nothing crazy just set of 5-10 through the day. Im finding that it's a good diagnostic because it reveals i have a huge weakness somewhere. I looked it up and apparently average is 25 pushups and excellent is 45. I bet i couldn't even do 25 so i have work to do getting mine up to something respectable. My theory is that pushups are hard for me because of a lack of core strength and endurance. Need to train to correct the weaknesses and increase fitness so this will be a good test to keep an eye on.

I'm on the push ups bandwagon too. They expose flaws if you have them and can be loaded or made more difficult so easily.

I like doing shooting practice on netball hoops cos they're smaller so your shot needs to be more exact to score. On that vein i like mixing it up using a bigger ball, smaller ball, heavier, lighter, etc, just to keep the body from getting too comfortable b/c in a game you will have to deal with different circumstances (fatigue, defense etc) so being able to adjust smoothly on the fly is a good skill to develop. i shoot 70% from FT in training so caveat emptor.

Man netball hoops suck. So much harder. It was a hell of a lot easier to dunk though as the ball is way smaller and heaps lighter.

I still have thoughts in the back of my mind about getting the jump up and making a return to playing ball just to get some in game dunks. Old dreams die hard.

Played the social netball game last night which in itself wasn't that exciting. Did some jumps after the game though which were pretty good though. Did some SL running dunks with a netball and was easily getting my wrist to the rim. This puts my SLVJ at about 29-30" which is very surprising given the last of training/jumping in recent times. Also makes me think I can get this back up a few inches without too much additional effort (get more jumps in/get more strength in).

damn nice. :ibjumping:

Thanks mate. It got me wondering again how high I can push this. Would love to get elbow to ring which would sit around 38".

np!

that'd be nutty. if you want it, get after it! if you're already at wrist to rim with infrequent jumping/training, that's a great starting point. i'd be motivated as hell too :D i'm probably fingertips. :D

no reason you can't do some of the other speed/run stuff as well, in some amount (if you want that too). overall fitness improvements are important.

That's what I thought. Squat and DL are almost non existent at the moment and I rarely jump. I was pleasantly surprised too. I tried two feet which was probably 22-23" at best.

Exactly. I'm training for the sprint triathlons next summer which is max 5k run so don't plan on doing too much volume. Like you were saying in Vag's log the other day about 80-90% slow work and smaller amounts of speed work.

teh fuck happened to James.

the rest of CLE's starters only had 10 points.. wtf. :/

asked and answered lol

Haha truth!

I am at work and just had the play by play going on. Whenever I looked all I saw was missed 3 point attempt over and over again. Incredibly frustrating.

wow what a W for HOU. holy shit.

and what a finish.. that foul almost WRECKED everything. (wasn't even a foul either)

Curry had a chance to send it in to OT..

crazy ending.

man if it ends up being HOU/CLE i'd be so happy. CLE can beat HOU.

GET IT DONE ROCKETS.

Just watched the highlights and I knew from Harden's travel in the first quarter that they were going to win. No one should be able to get away with that in any league on the planet.

Upper Body

Warm Up- scap activation and shoulder warm up,

Push Ups- bw x 8, 8, 8
Inverted Rows- bw x 8, 8, 8

Chins- bw x 4, 4, 4
Dips- bw x 5, 5, 5

Lat pull down and cable crossover- just to get some more blood pumping

Stretching- long lunge HF and ham, tailor pose- 7kg for 3x10 with 30-60s holds, adductor stretch

First time doing chins in ages and I believe a lot of my forearm and shoulder problems are within reach of being solved. I have subconsciously always had a slack grip when doing anything. Maybe except deadlifting. Really focused on the grip and that lat activation and the difference was enormous. Seriously significant. Pretty excited by that and hope that it can propel me forward.

Good showing by BOS. Had they not missed so many layups/dunks etc, would have been very close. That's going to give them more confidence heading back home.

Good point. Game 5 going to be very interesting.

I hope James learns one thing from the last two games and that's to be a scorer and facilitator and not chase the rebounds. He can conserve so much energy that way.

CLE need to put another 10 points between them and BOS. I wouldn't want to be going into the final minutes with it too close.

destruction by Livingston. eek.

Best play of the game. I watched that at least 5 times.

But yeah, Houston are cooked.

yup. done.

imho, they look awful.

CLE looks awful too (for the most part), but .. LEBRON. CLE also doesn't have to face a juggernaut before the finals, ie GSW. HOU doesn't look anywhere near the level of GSW. I mean props to them for getting to the Western Conference Finals but they don't look like an NBA Finals team.

Yeah I just don't know how the finals is going to play out. Whoever GSW face is going to get blown off the court which isn't a good thing. I can only hope that Lebron ends up at Philly next year and they keep most of that unit together. That's the only option I see to challenge GSW. (I unintentionally just ignored BOS with who will be coming back for them too so there's always that).

a fully healthy BOS will be lethal, especially now that these young guys know how to step up.

Hope LEBRON goes back to MIA - come back bro!! Come back for 2 seasons, get to 2 NBA FINALS, then go back to CLE once again and finish with one more finals. :trollface:

tbh tho.. I could see him coming back to MIA.. not even joking. That'd be a serious squad man.. and we know he loves South Beach :D

Haha. Wishful thinking. MIA with Bron isn't beating GSW though which I imagine is his number 1 goal.

Seems like I should have more activity in my log but I think it's correct. I've just been lazy.

21/05/18

Lunch Run- 3.67km @ 6:49/km

First run in 6 weeks which kinda shocked me. Oh well. Back into it now.
