yea... i'll definitely keep trying, thanks for the input.
sprained both ankles before, some of the left metatarsal bones of the left foot ache sometimes when doing stuff, some niggling pain... not sure why ahha, but i think it might affect the energy transfer..

say adarq,
do u have any recommendations on my training? like perhaps to go thru a gpp/strength/power phase block or somethin like that?

way im doing stuff now, its like a gym session, followed by a 'plyos' session (bounds, depth drops, depth jumps and the like..) did this as a suggestion by jackw.

i knw u said somethin like to just keep doin what im doin now haha, but i was just wonderin if i could perhaps optimise my training, mayb there's some weak areas i could target or something.

u could tell i took off a tad too far?

so basically, to keep squatting, and REAs, those rebounding lunges, and the reactive movements in ur posts?
damn, squatting more is gonna be tough.. gains arent like they used to haha! but damn, im sure gonna keep pushing.

i was just kinda disappointed/puzzled actually, seeing how ppl who squat lesser percentages, throwing down some nice stuff. i'd figured i couldnt generate enough power fast enough... my RFD not up to scratch...

so, ur saying.. to just keep doing wat im doin now?

u knw, i'd tot u were just a guy fresh outta college, but damn that's impressive.
even before reading that, i alr wished i lived over where u were so i could get some pointers from u.

hahaha not nuthugging, just that u know ur shit, and sometimes all the info is over my head, too technical for me, and i'd just wanna get out there and train haha. u know, typical 'as long as it works' type of guy, with perhaps a pinch more of trying to understand wat i was actually doin at all. hahahaha!

864
measured my reach today... it was 220cm, without shoes, so with shoes, prolly abt 223 or 225?
if im 174cm, or 5'9, is a 7'4 reach right? i mean, roughly, just so im not under or overestimating my reach...
damn my short appendages and fingers!  >:(

imma get myself some kobe Vs, cuz they has sumz rocket boosters in dem...

even if i just got my kobe ivs like 2 months ago...

well, my first vid! heh heh, pretty poor quality one frm iphone cam haha.

not to set myself up first,
- but my legs were a tad tired. the groin area, dunno wat u call them, (abductors/adductors?) from yesterday's session.
- taken straight after a game. one in which we lost badly again. which is kinda expected actually, since there are no real bigs in our team hahaha :( ran my legs off.
- plus, i dunno abt u all, but i felt damn embarrassed doin it... maybe its an asian thing... i was trying to quickly get the damn thing over with.
- i took off too far! :( had to reach out for the rim..

so... pointers anyone? what should i do to improve?

866
Cos... I dunno man, I normally take abt 2 hours, Inc warmup cooldown stretching etc.
When I was done with the msem squats I felt like I hadn't done anythin at all...
Went on and did some more, but was consciously feelin for fatigue signs..

Gonna turn in in abt 2hrs time, hope I'll not feel like shit..

say... i've got a game tmr.
but im still itching to get to the gym today before work.
think i can do some of that msem stuff, and still be 100% fresh for the game tmr?

some msem or sorta at squats, some high % other exercises like benchpress or OHP, with perhaps lower vol?

the thing abt me is, due to life constraints, i only get to the gym once a week, so i tend to try to maximise my gym workouts... which leaves me gassed the day after lol..
