Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm

Yeah you have that torso almost parallel to the ground... you remind me a lot of myself because that's how I jump as well... "back jumper", I pretty much throw my upperbody up instead of actually maximally pushing with the quads and legs... which sucks.

I think this type of SVJ is more preponderent to one-leg jumpers.

And wtf is up with the respect number... I saw that yesterday...

Yeah it's just something that feels natural to me, the way I jump when I don't think about it too much. Maybe I should experiment more with it.

And yeah, some dickhead randomly decided to go back into my journal (starting on page 8 ) and just neg every post. LOL. No idea why, maybe I pissed someone off about something.

jesus man careful you don't hit your head.

also on your squats, not even a criticism but just something i noticed: you really hyperextend your neck, especially on the concentric portion. it's helped in in the past few months to consciously NOT extend my neck. watch KF's vids to see what i mean.

If you pause it a frame earlier you look even higher and totally out of control.  Like you are dropped out of a airplane.  Sweet jesus.  Nice jump.

Yeah I noticed that too, I think it happens when I get tired and I'm kind of straining against the bar. Will try and avoid that, thanks for the lookout.

Haha thanks man. It was a pretty out of control jump (I botched the landing hard).

Gym:

Dynamic warmup/foam roll

Squat: warmup, 1x6@60kgs, 1x8@120kgs

Pullups: 8,7,7

Random UB

BW: 76kgs

Today I felt like doing a 1x8 rather than the usual 2x6 just as a measure of current strength. I guess 8 reps isn't the best way to gauge your 1RM but it roughly puts me around 145-150kgs atm, not bad. Need to hurry up and get this around 155kgs though, taking too long with all these disruptions.

I went back to the other gym where I did my SVJs the other day and measured the roof. It was ~9' (274cm). I also measured my height in those shoes standing on the rubber mat at 180cm. Given I was probably ~1'' off touching the roof with my head: 271.5cm - 180cm = 91.5cm or ~36''  :personal-record: ! Still trying to figure out how I managed that.

I think you were more than 1 inch away. Probably 3 or 4. 1 inch is EXTREMELY close.

Well I felt it was closer than 4''...that would be around 32-33'', and the jump has a few more frames than other 33'' jumps I've done. But yes, point taken, I won't call it an official PR because it's hard to determine accurately where my highest point was (i.e. compared to 10' rim jumps and measuring hand length over rim). It doesn't really matter at the moment anyway, it's just good to know I'm still able to jump.

Definitely. It wasn't a hate message by the way... it's just the way I see it. I've had moments where parallax makes it look like you're head on rim when in reality you're like 6 inches away or so. The difference in between angles is HUGE.

Anyway, keep up the good work, you're my favorite guy in terms of training on this forum for some weird reason.

Damn I really need to take out those pictures in the bathroom...

Sure no worries, I didn't interpret it as such. Next time I'm gonna stack up some steps and put the camera higher so it gets a better shot - or just go back to my tried and true vertec/10' rim measure. Thanks man, I appreciate getting feedback about any part of my training, helps me improve and learn.

Gym:

Foam roll warmup/activation

Squat: Warmup, 3x5@100kgs (1-2 sec pause, then explode up)

BSS: 3x7-8/leg@40kgs

BW: 76kgs

Mentally I just didn't feel like lifting heavy for 8+ reps. So I just took a weight I was comfortable with and did some paused explosive squats. Then an old gym buddy rocked up and he wanted to do BSS, sounded good to me because I really should do them more. Heavier than what I've done in the past but they felt great, they really hit my quads and VMO hard, as well as glutes. Trouble is we spent so long talking between sets I ran out of time to do anything else lol. Still, good quad building session.

Gym:

Warmup/activation stuff

Squat: warmup, 1x6@60kgs, 1x1@100kgs, 1x1@120kgs, 1x6@125kgs

Calves: BB raise (2x20@60kgs) // SL DB raise (1x20/leg@20kgs, 2x15@25kgs)

Good squats today. Next week's 1x6 goal will be 127.5kgs, then if that feels good and everything else goes well keep going up 2.5kgs until I get to 132.5kgs for 6.
