TRACK

Dynamic warmup

Tuck jumps: 3x7-8

50m Sprints (100%) x 4

Depth jumps from 20'': 4x5

GYM

Stiff-legged deadlift: 3x9-10@ 143lbs

Bench press: 3x6@176lbs

REA squat: 3x8@152lbs


Gonna bench every day and also military press every other day to keep my UB strength up

Was playing ball indoors yesterday at the local uni courts and did a few SVJs - for one was able to get a good inch or two over the ring! (could pull down on it) which is prob a PR (around 31'' from standing reach calc)  :D. All these squats are slowly paying off! Now I just need to work on improving my RVJ in a similar way

Gym

Focused on quads today, hammys were a bit too sore

Squat: 5x8@231lbs

Leg Press: 4x10@484lbs

Calf raise holding 50lb weight: 2x20

Kept squat weight lighter today cos my right knee was feeling a bit sore. Did six test SVJs before starting, was able to touch rim pretty well every time, definitely getting more consistent in that regard.  :D

Ouch, injury. Got a hard knee to my left calf playing ball yesterday. woke up and it's bruised, pretty much impossible to run, jump or squat down, so postponing today's training to tomoro or Wed to avoid risking anything. Is anything more frustrating than injury stopping you improving???

Gym (no track due to calf bruise)

5min stretching

glute activation - glute bridge 30sec hold x5

Bench: 4x6@187lbs

Squat: 2x8@253, 3x7-8@275lbs

Shoulder press: 3x8@33lb dumbell

Shoulder fly: 3x8@33lb dumbell

GHR: 3x6-8 holding 22lb

Lowered my squat weight a bit today to try and get form perfect. Not that it's terrible, but today I wanted to get 5 sets of 8 with feet perfect width apart, hips/knees parallel, not too low to avoid rounding back (that happens to me a lot), and really squeezing and lifting with the quads. I did this mainly because my lower back has been feeling a bit sore after squatting lately and I know it must be because there's a few flaws in my form. Gonna try and get a video up at some point so I can get a bit of critique from all the awesome squatters here  ;D

Had it rough over last week, first calf bruise then I got sick! Came down with a few cold-like symptoms so had a couple of days off to recover. Was kinda good though, had a chance to read up on some stuff on the site and think about how my trainings going in terms of progress etc. Might try some new things and see how they go. Anyway:

Track

Dynamic w/u

Accel sprints: 4x60m (100%)

Single-leg bounding: 4x8/leg

Tucks: 3x8

Depth jumps from 24'': 3x4

Gym

Squat: 2x10@253, 3x8@290lbs

Romanian DL: 3x10@143lbs

EDIT: I just remembered I didn't do tucks, had it written down but didn't end up doing them

Track

4x50m accelerations to 100%

Kept it light today (especially squat), still recovering a bit from a cold and my energy levels are way down...also I've got a grading game tomoro night for bball season, because my team sat out last season we have to re-qualify and it's a must-win game!!    :headbang:

Well we won our grading game by 25 pts, good result as we should get back into a decent division. Been about 5 months since we were in the competition last, feels like forever. Was pretty happy with my line: 8pts, 3-4 FG, 1-2ft, 1-1 3pt, couple of boards, couple of assists, steal and a sweet block that I directly attribute to my vert training!  ;D

Gym - upper body and squat

Reverse hyper: 2x12 bw

Squat: 4x8@231lbs

Bench: 3x8@205lbs

Chest fly: 3x8@88lbs

Incline bench: 3x10-12@100lbs

Here's a vid of some stuff I did two days ago, the first dunk was on a rim which had been bent forward a bit, dunked on it just for fun. Second one at the end got cut off a bit but it went in. I measured the ring at 3.02m or ~9'11'', still fun to do some (very soft) dunks on it though, also I let a bit of air out of my ball to make it easier to grip, gotta work on palming it better   ;D
