those are not security cameras, if you ever go to a nfl game, they have cameras everywhere
the impressive thing is that they were on
Haha, good point bmully. I guess I always figured those cameras came and went with the TV crews but now that I think about it that makes no sense.

s3: power
- RATING (8/10)
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes x 5
-ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
not great, 30-31, one about 31.5. Just off, which was surprising because I felt good and sprints were not bad.
- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
same, just felt a bit off; jumps were noisier than usual
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
same
- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 8 (80-85%), 15-30s between singles
265 == felt good, pretty fast
- C1: JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 (30%)
85 == I think my transitions are still pretty slow but I was getting decent height
- C1-info: 2 rotations
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
15, 15, 15 (last set AF)
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
8, 8, 6 (last set AF)
bicep curls 10x20e
two-hand DB OH tricep extension 10x40
- OPTIONAL: CORE

Forgot to mention: Right ankle (the one I've sprained repeatedly) was tweaking a little after the first set of MSEM squats. Went away very quickly though and no trouble on the second set.

If you want to get fancy, this is the best appetizer recipe I know:
fresh baguette
however many slices of high-quality bacon (i.e. not the shit you buy in plastic at the supermarket...get it from the butcher)
boursin cheese
asparagus
slice baguette along the diagonal, pieces should be about 1/2" thick. lay on a cookie sheet in a single layer. toast in oven at 400 degrees for a couple of minutes. you know, like making toast.
trim and then steam asparagus until spears have turned bright green, then immediately plunge them into ice water. chop asparagus and bacon to same length as baguette slices.
spread boursin cheese on baguette slices. lay bacon and then asparagus on each slice. how much you put on will depend on the size of the baguette, but it shouldn't completely cover the bread.
eat.
NB: the plunging into ice water part is really important.

are your "drop jumps" depth jumps? or depth drops? i'm assuming depth drops, i hate how people have referred to them as jumps if it's just a drop lol.. if it's drops, then ya, i'd keep them in their place.. if they are depth jumps, i'd put them after jump rope, giving them priority.
i'd still go with some extra reactive work on mon/fri, short sprints + (pogos and/or halftucks).. that'll give you some nice extra work at improving that reactive/explosive strength.
peace man
Sorry, Depth drops. I always get the names wrong.
I will definately add some pogos. (frank Yang style)
I live in seattle and with the rain/ winter it is hard to get sprints in.
If you have access to an indoor basketball court, you can do sprints. They don't have to be long --10 yards of max effort is plenty-- and for people like you or me, who have trouble expressing power despite reasonable strength levels, short sprints can definitely help a lot.

Had kind of a shitty day. Ended up kind of angry by the time I left work for the gym. Not a good set up for a workout. Plus the old fucks took over the court by the time I got warmed up, so no jumps at the rim, had to settle for some dangling shit in the weight room. I hate those old motherfuckers, they suck so bad and they rent the court so you can't even shoot around on the opposite end while they play their slow-ass game.
s2: power
- RATING (5/10)
Shit mood, sore/dead feeling glutes, fuck the old guys, got pissed at my gf, which rarely happens. Glad I ground this one out, better luck next time.
- warmup
shoot -- okay for about two minutes, then for some reason the switch flipped off and I went like 3 for my next 30. Bizzare.
mobility/sprinter's warm ups
- 10 yard dashes x 5
Slow, tweaked right toe
-ME jumps (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins
Horrible, no pop at all
- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5
see above
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
again
- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 4 (90-95%), 30s or more between singles
285 -- a little grindy on a couple of reps but actually not bad; shoes still make me feel weird/pronatey, but not as bad as Tues
- C1: JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 (30%)
85
- C1-info: 2 rotations
- S1: dips @ 3 x TF
20, 11, 9 -- could have pushed a little harder but didn't
- S1: pullups @ 3 x TF
10, 6, 4 -- same
- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?) superset x3
crunch +40 x20
leg lower x12
Pallof press x10x80e
- STRETCH
