Shot around with a friend. Somehow forgot it was a rest day and did some dunks. Which meant i overcompensated afterwards and ate badly to try 'make up' recovery. This pattern is destructive.

Nice! 10kgs away from double bw. I know you're on the rep train right now but does that make you feel a lot closer to your goal?

180kg/2xbw is the goal for the summer but i dont want to give myself long to do it because im probably around 2/10 as a basketball player right now. Spending the winter solely n the weight room has not done wonders for my basketball ability but i am stronger at squatting. It seems getting old is hitting me hard on the court at 34, im even slower than i used to be which was never that fast haha. so yeah 10kg or 6% more weight seems hard r/n because i know how hard it to put 10kg on the bar. But im trying to convince myself yesterday was a day when i was too weak to rep out 150kg - and i could nevertheless put up 170kg. Maybe on a stronger day i will be say 5% stronger -- and -- i intend to get my volume worksets around 5x5x155kg which shud be sufficient to get the 2xbw/180kg milestone??

Notes:
Life got in the way. Couldn't rep out 150kg so i went for a heavy single PR.

Played ball for about 2 hours. Was gruelling. I skipped lifting as a result. Ate pizza for lunch, nandos for dinner and pizza for bedtime snack. Got it out of my system as the last day of the diet break.

Played bball fasted (except for some whey in water) and it was brutal w/o carbs. I thought i could just play it easy but it got competitive b/c we had some good match ups. Great. FINALLY starting to get some blocks .. not exactly PR level for me in terms of shotblocking but it's starting to come back nicely. My CNS was quite laggy though, i was messing up 9/10 layups but i kept trying i just couldn't finish properly which is totally a timing thing. Positives were getting a great workout in fitness terms.

Notes:
One of those days where every rep was a fight. I just love making things as hard as possible for myself by dieting thru the week trying to get lean while hoping to PR volume at 150kg. Dickhead. Wanted 6 sets of 4x150kg. Managed 4, the 4th rep was super ugly.

The weaksauce guys lifting in the smith machine adjacent to me staring at me killed the vibe. I get self conscious and i cant focus on the lift and it throws off my form and then it's just messy and i lose the plot. I thought to approach them before the set and go hey sorry for being obnoxious but this is hard and i need to yell and grit, dont take offense. But  actually talking to randoms at the gym is obnoxious enough because who does that?  So you find them staring at the weird al quada training camp transplant straining away in their pretty little white gym and you know they're thinking wtf is this guy doing gtfo.

Need to start looking for a new gym for summer. I hate it so much when the atmosphere ruins the session b/c you need everything right to not die..But rant aside, i did okay, 22 reps is a PR at 150kg. Next time i'll get 24 fo sho.

Scooby the hip thrust thing is not a great use of your time. The guy Brett who popularised doesn't even stand by it anymore. He set training knowledge back decades with that dumb exercise, hope you're not wasting your time in vain.
