Step aside, Russell Westbrook and Blake Griffin. Allow me to reintroduce you to Mr. JR Smith.

@adarq: Yeah, I think it might be the shoes. Never had a problem like this when I was using plates.

@raptor: I think for the time being I just need to up my prehab/mobility work and not stress it out too much. So yeah, more foam rolling and other stuff. Don't think it has anything to do with the IT band.

s1: volume-strength
- RATING (7/10)

- warmup

- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
Shite. 30-31.

- MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
Okay, better than last time.

- SQUAT: 3 x 3
260, 260, 260 == tweaked something in my right hip. TFL plus something else just on the medial side of the hip flexor. Sharp pain, happens during the concentric portion just before I get back to standing. Tried stretching it out and working it with thumbs/theracane a bit in between sets. Got through all these sets, weight felt light and form felt good otherwise. But...

-SQUAT 3x8
Got one rep and realized the hip was just not having it. Frustrated. Hip still feels wonky when I move it around but doesn't hurt at all. Just like something is a bit loose or off or something.

- OHP: 3x5
115, 115, 115

- DB row: 3x8
55, 55, 55

- UNILATERAL: 3 x 3e (BSS)
No. Was done with legs at that point.

- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?) x2
crunch x50
side crunch x25e

- STRETCH
foam rolled good first, then stretched

Frustrated. One-step jumps were again better than full run-ups. WTF happened.

Also, I need to start eating more. Nutrition is not on point and that's stupid because I know better.

Hey LBSS, have you read Alan Aragons book? His articles are good and the reviews say its a great book. I think I'm going to buy it soon :strong:

Girth Control? No, haven't read it. Have heard nothing but good things, though, and believe them because what I've read of his elsewhere has always been spot-on. He's tight, I subscribe to his research review.

The picture of the guy doing a squat halfway down the page is priceless.

took the ol' gf to the gym today.

warm up
foam roll
mobility

work
teach gf squat, dl, ohp and chin up
row x10 mins @easy pace
incline walk @14 incline x15 mins

cool down
stretch

hot. pics.


ya man make sure your mindset is solid when jumping, think about those aggressive runups and getting a little deeper into the plant, since that helps you.. FUCKING GET UP THERE THOUGH, BEFORE YOU JUMP, SMACK URSELF IN THE FACE AND IMAGINE IT'S ME SMACKING YOU.

Haha, I think she would have smacked me if I'd tried to take a picture. She's a dancer, had never seen the inside of a weight room before, was not comfortable in there. Stronger than she expected, though, lol. Better at chin up (negatives) than what's-his-face who does two and quits.

Anyway, got decent sleep last night and the night before, looking forward to jumps today. I think the real key is just focusing and getting really fired up. That's much easier for me when there's no one else around, but whatever. Gotta do it anyway.

I think my approaches regressed somehow. Like I'm overthinking it or something and that's translating into weak run ups, poor acceleration into the plant. On the ones where my approach doesn't suck, I was getting up okay. Not great but okay. Frustrating but I'm not too worried about it for the time being.

Alternative for the Irish stew: use chicken stock instead of water, or replace some of the water with chicken stock.

s4: deload-reactive

- RATING (6/10)
felt good but got like 4.5 hours of sleep last night, so...

- warmup

- 10 yard dashes x 5

- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
7, 5 == damn, mostly 30-30.5, maybe 1 31 and 1 31.5

- ME MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
best set was third set, first time doing these so nothing else to compare it to

- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
meh, meh, meh, okay, okay

- ME MR pogo: 5 x 5
meh, meh, meh, okay, okay

- STRETCH

All in all, kind of disappointed. Work got in the way of sleep, unfortunately. And with that, time for bed.
