There you go always reality checking me bro!

Anoda bad workout. I give up lol

wait three days...

BS 6x127.5(LPR)

BW: 178.5 (LPR)

Squat notes:
Well damn, that PR came out of nowhere. I almost squatted 140kg but decided against it and put the bar back.  Who gives a fuck about a sub 1.8 ratio .. meaningless and it wuda been hard af too. Gonna hit up the court and do some bounds and dunks instaed. Will tape!

 

Shud i try to find a shooting coach while in the states? I'm feeling pretty insecure to even bother someone with my awful hot mess of a technique. not to put a fine point on it, but it's not the technique that's worrying but just my general lack of athleticism / sportsmanlike ability for somoene who would have dealt with players far far far far better.  to add im actualy in a slump atm .. low esteem etc .. so it's not just a trivial thing .. stuff like this seems bigger than it should be .. anyway this is prob the wrong place for it

I'm on a bit of a roll with eating clean. Hoping to continue it for the next 5 wks. If i can get through May while adding say 2.5kg to my backsquat and getting bodyweight under 80kg I'll be really happy. And ofcourse get better at bounds and stuff which will be my staple form of exercise while abroad.

Went to shoot around. I love how if i take N freethrows, i'll find N+1 different ways to shoot them. Consistency is lacking but I think that's predominantly a strength thing, fatigue sets in, and form fluctuates erratically.

Stop.  Get out your head.  Best shooting coach I know is in Nyc, you gonna go there? I can refer you.

Your lack of athleticism is not a problem for a coach... Your coachability might be, but your lack of ability is what a coach looks for, your actually an ideal candidate. 

Not NYC this time .. mainly the west coast.  But that sounds good! 'll def ask you to refer me if i make my way to NYC some time. Probably my next trip whenever that will be..!

Notes:
Thinking of hitting up the court to do some dunks. i may try the depth jump to dunks that adarqui rx .. will see .. may not get court space to do anything. Also im taking to account t0ddday's comments in acoles log bout broad jumps on hardwood as a bad idea? i think i agree, my knees didnt like that whole week after. And it's been raining, so the park is prob out too.

Honestly not sure why i bother. Dunks were so mediocre .. couldnt jump for shit.

Looked over the tape of yesterdays shooting. I noticed 2 main things, 1)i shoot  the ball entirely from the wrist/arms and 2)with no hip involvement. So if i was a better shooter i'd be more hip and less wrist, this would make me a better player because 1 is affected easily by fatigue whereas 2 would not be. So i can improve my shooting considerably by .......... being ......... more....... hip ...... dominant.

There is some hip action there bro, look at the angle. It's kinda why i do heavy jump squats, similar angles. Only problem is i havent learnt to harness that "strength" for shooting (or jumping and running for that matter) .. once i do, it will be easy. The prob with using that for shooting i find is the shots come off too strong, cos i haven't learnt to do less with the arms/wrists. Once i figure out how to make the release softer while being powered mainly by hips my shot will be silky smooth. Probably. I dont know.

lmao . im nto suggesting turning a jumpshot into an ATG squat. I mean getting most of the contrib from closing the hip angle rather than upper body
