could be postural though, my posture has definitely improved standing due to my glute/ab strength.

Makes sense. The guy I took yoga classes from in Chile (laugh it up, fools, laugh it up) gained two inches on his height because of how much his posture improved after starting yoga.

LOLOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no but seriously, that's cool stuff.. he shoulda took before/after side pics.

Haha, thats cool.

ok so..... last night i decided im going to go back to that nice outdoor court with a roof, because of all the rain that has happened here.. so i goto sleep at 4:30 am (instead of 6:30am) and wake at 10:30am, needless to say not enough sleep..

i go dunk, kinda tired but trying to forget about it.. as im warming up, the rain comes in from the side, massive wind/rain.. wrecks the court.. i wait it out and do like 30 dunk attempts, a few really nice jumps, but the combo of slightly slippery shoes (mostly in my head) and lack of sleep had me less than peak.. but i still got to like 35" on a few jumps.

so i get home, all caff'd up, and pass out for 4 hours..

i wake up and weather seems nice outside.. i just may go dunk again, at a local court here.

lol nuts.

peace

do you have a job? or is this it? cuz i know my parents couldn't do that sleep schedule

anyway this summer i have the same sleep schedule except i fall asleep at like 3AM and wake up at like 3pm or even later
haha i kinda like it except there is little to do at night when you can't drive anywhere you want


so you where at the roofed court and it still go through!!! holy crap must have been pouring
i am gonna hit the court tomorrow thanks for reminding me

bw = 160
soreness = nothing really
aches/injuries: felt good

workout #1: dunk session
- after warming up and getting ready to go, it poured, took 15-20 minutes to stop then more time to dry, so needless to say, got derailed pretty bad
- never really trusted my footing but got up alright, so can't complain much.. did like 30 dunk attempts
- SVJ was 10'2, RL-DLRVJ was 10'5 (nice), LR-DLRVJ was 10'9, LR-DLRVJ-DURING-LOBS was 10'11 or so


workout #2: stepping up intensity on my 400 walking lunges each leg
- used 10 lb db's for 400 each leg
- holding onto 10 lb db's was actually worrying me prior, for some dumb reason i was thinking my grip would get tired but come on that's pussy shit.. i literally didn't even feel the weights in my hands heh.. i put them down after each 100 total, so i put them down 8 times..
- legs are going to be more sore than just bodyweight, pretty sure about it

.75 gallon of milk after lunge workout + sandwhich etc.. i drink milk like it's gatoraid.





tropical storm weather at the court:




some pics from dunks:

that 1st pic was high as hell. how high were u? looked like u were way below wrist but that mite be cam distortion. nice tho.

well i was like 3" of wrist over.. i slammed it hard and my whole hand was in the rim coming down.. overall a bad session but i had a few good jumps.

peace

so you had 10lbs in each hand or more than that? then you did 400 walking lunges! that would be pretty tiring

do you squat anymore? that's what i think about when it comes to vertical and speed in the weight room...squat  and oly lifts...but i haven't seen a new squatting video on you channel..unless i missed it or something

well i just got back into squatting but i'm not going heavy, and it's more like a quarter-squat jump-squat at the moment.. i don't plan on going heavy anymore.. I go push myself too hard with maximal weights and have gotten some injuries from it.. it's alot safer to push myself with submax weights.. I mean I'd love to work submax (very slow progressive overload) for so long that my max shoots way up, i mean, that has happened as of recent, as a biproduct of those 400 walking lunge sessions + natural ghr's.

so ya i'm going to keep the weights light.

peace man

I know Adam link and a lot of other guys keep telling me to push the weight like it's you max and you will get results

but anyway sometimes i feel that when i do 85% and above on my squat the weight is too heavy to go fast and my form is not good enough either...so i go slow down and as fast as possible up
