progressive power layups as warmups, pretty much every dlrvj session, got my slrvj respectable.

when my lr-dlrvj was pretty much peaked, was kinda nuts one day when i started trying some l-slrvj lob dunks and was getting up around 35". blew my mind. then got me addicted to single leg jumping, because that speed component feels so incredible.

but ya, i just did progressively more intense power layups pretty much every warmup session. i knew when i was able to "nick" the rim on them, that i could start transitioning into my dlrvj warmup etc. just allowed me to get lots of slrvj reps in, relaxed/submax .. slow buildup over time.

pc!

I've been doing a lot of inbetween the legs layups off the dribble and lob off 1 leg, it just feels easier/smoother than off 2 legs, so that is helping the reps.
I just love the float the Nick Briz gets :)
I should start doing some windmill trick dunks of 1 leg on the 8 feet netball rims to help out the process.

yea briz gets up real smooth. he has a crazy fast/aggressive runup. i haven't followed him much, seems like a weirdo. him and dexton do too much "attention-whore" stuff. lol.

for single leg jumps, loved watching some of nick ross's jumps/dunks. some of the best slrvj dunks i've seen, i think.

pc!

- warm up x 1 km

- interval 400m in [88,90,88,88,87,85,90] w/200m jogging rest
super windy, enough to blow the upwind leg into the downwind leg while running across and to really feel the pressure running into it. still managed to get everything under 90 (numbers above are rounded). the 85 on the penultimate lap is a good sign, although it was mostly with or at least across the wind rather than into it.

damn, sounds intense.

- cool down x 1.39 km

- stretch

might lower the target pace the next time i do intervals, reduce the reps to six, then build back up to eight.

i leave for the states, for good, in just over two weeks. so on the other hand all the pacing is gonna have to be revised because of the heat and humidity. well, one thing at a time.

ah nice. the states will be happy to have you back.

This guy is crazy and he does single leg ones for sets and reps :o

wtf? impressive.


I used to be able to do these with strict form and with weight slow or quick but now I can descend slowly but not all the way down but then collapse after. Don't know why, maybe because I haven't done the in long time or increase in mass I did this when I was 8.5 stones.

damn. don't recall you doing them like that, nuts.

i never could get any good w/ them. only thing it gave me was hamstring tendonitis.. a few times. will absolutely never do them again. lmao. i love how it felt too (until the subsequent days).

have a poor man's glute ham from sorinex.. :<

hah nice! how'd it go?

yea man sprinting is great. feels so good to turn it on for 5-30s.

ordered some more plants. the longevity spinach should be cool, easy to propagate & grows for many years (down here) apparently.

also, just wanted a bunch of new varieties of "proven" fruit producing banana plants. i've already got a ton of banana plants.. but just want more varieties. can't wait to one day have bananas everywhere.

Hahaha thanks mate. Gotta admit I was having a pretty good time out there.

that's great. ya, loved all the smiling haha. :ibjumping: :ibsquatting: :ibrunning: :headbang:

I reckon I had a max of around 32"ish. At 98kg. Figure if I drop at least 10kgs I will be mid to high 30s. There's definitely a chance.

sick!

Curious to see their face after this though:

16 May 2020

TIME TRIAL 5K 23:42 , ALL TIME  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning: :personal-record: :ibrunning:
Didn't even feel like i maxed my potential. Was just a good day, not a perfect one. I feel i can challenge breaking 23:00 in a well peaked race.
Still, delighted that i broke the 4:45 average.
SUCK IT WATCH!!!  :raging: :raging: :raging:
Ridiculous fact: after the run watch says estimated 5K race time : 27:20  :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm:
Oh well, glad we sorted it out. Now i know my estimation of fitness/max ability was spot on and watch's VO2max/race estimates are just rough indications that shouldn't be taken seriously.
Carry on.

SOLID!!!!!!! :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

also.. dumb watches. lol.

Lifetime  :personal-record: of 40!

Warm ups

Dribbling drills

Shooting

Bunch of jumps and dunk attempts. Must have had over 100 jumps easy. Had a decent amount of pre-workout and got a bit carried away haha. Lob game is weak. Hard with the driveway hoop where I can really only jump from one side though.

IMPORTANT- Heel kick is real! I have never ever used this before. Remembered about half way through and legit had an extra couple of inches on the jump. Pretty incredible and when I looked at the footage I wasn't even really kicking.     



solid! might be the happiest dunk video i've seen.. LMFAO.

also happy birthday man. that 40 club. 40/40 geeet it.

isaiah got some pro weights/equip (vertec)/platforms etc.. dude doing big things. he gets it. lol nice.

absolutely love how he lifts outdoors .. and has lots of outdoor dunk footage. :ibjumping: :ibjumping: :ibjumping: i did that, enjoyed it much more than inside lifting+inside dunking. pretty cool.
