Ima eat a bit more til the next squat workout then i'm back to cutting, i shud be able to progress towards 135kg backsquat for reps without gaining weight or rather while losing it ... i think. Then i'll allow myself to go up a bit to rep 140kg. Just a passing thought, i know it's crazy to plan out things like this but im too fat too weak, too skinny to squat 140kg for reps without gaining some muscle..

BW: 81.2kg / 179lb!

holy shit .. how did that happen? I know ive been eating more lately but this is unexpected to say the least

Time to watch the diet bit more closely .. wanna get back under 80kg asap.

balling in a few hours.. bit of squat specific soreness but otherwise i feel ok. will be interesting to see if i can get up. with food and clothes and shoes i prob go lose to 85kg? weighted dunk time. if i can throw down some big tomahawks at my heavier bodyweight it will be a good workout in itself so ima embrace it

Well that was interesting.. we played 3 games of 2v2 and i won 2 of them. wud have won all 3 but my conditioning gave way and i kinda played like shit anyways, but good enough to win. have some vid, wasnt fresh enough to dunk convincingly.. still. if we play again this weekend, im gonna rest, otherwise i guess i'll lift saturday? will see how it goes. i wanna peak ON VIDEO with the young wolf before he leaves

here is what it looks like for the rest of the week...

fri: off
sat: lift (if not balling sunday)
sun: ball (if didnt lift sat)
mon: rest (prob but i may ball if i didnt ball sunday)

need to peak, need to lose this extra deadweight ive gained this week from eating junk everyday .. i wasnt logging but life stuff blah blah

want to get my squat at 130kg for reps then peak athleticism, then repeat, something like that

lmao at my plans. fri being off didnt happen.the young wolf asked if i wanted to shoot around and only shoot around. then proceeded to run us throgh the most exhausting bball workout ive had ever, lol. i was gone within the first few sets, then we did another 20 lol. so yeah, well laid plans..

but i must say it's nice to be training with a basketball prodigy. if i worked this hard all the time i'd actually be a much better pllayer. im not saying 10% better, maybe as much as 30% or something significant. after he leaves, i have to find another training partner willing to work as hard or harder and keep it up.

in the meantime im gonna put lifting on a hold, rest saturday, sunday either we ball hard and skip monday. or rest sunday and ball out monday. that's the last window to train with him. fuck.

That's bettter, im ok with weighing that much .. lol. Ate a ton last night, force feeding myself the following: double cheeseburger, grilled chicken burger, 2 magnum icecreams and a whey shake. Pretty sore but not half as bad as expected. phew. I wanna 'peak' athletically at pickup tmr. Think i will do a squat and bench session prior to ball though? Just cos if i dont lift then, it may be a while before i do, maybe weds if i also ball monday. so we'll see how it goes. Thing is i cant do half measures, will prob force some PRs if i do lift wjhich will hurt performance on the court probably

but my body comp is going the right way even eating all this food to sustain training ... i feel bad i wish i was still shedding bodyfat at a higher clip but it's a temporary trade off

i put up more shots yesterday and the last 4 weeks combined than i have in like 10 years before that excluding the month. crazy. but hopefully once my muscles get stronger and adapted i'll be a more reliable shooter. right now once fatigue sets in my form goes to naught and behaves erratically. more strength and mass in the right places (upper body mainly) will help a ton. i shud be aiming to curl 60kg for reps in the weight room this quarter. go for that kobe bicep size .. like 16-17" wud be real nice. anyway pipe dream (ha) aside, i do need more endurance than size. i can shoot with decent form from the free throw line to the rim on the other side of the court, teh guys were remarking how effortlessly i can shoot from distance with just upper body .. so endurance will be more useful to me than size tbh but both are good

Decent form on the full court shot? Video it. That's more impressive than a 45 inch vertical.

Lol at the curl goals.

i havent seen my own form, it's what they said, prob exaggaration on their part tho but i dont need a big run up like most ppl do around there.. maybe. when i shoot from half court i have trouble taking enough off that the ball doesn't clear the top of the backboard .. i do think it's a great warmup tho, makes 3s feel submax afterwards. also think using a heavy ball does the same thing, potentiation or whatever.

i got sick

and to make matters worse, i binged on junk food. i didnt do a long postmortem on the two girls i was seeing this winter but cut a long story short, last saturday it all blew up and i lost my chance with both. so being sick and stuff is just the icing on the cake. really wanted to peak for pickup today but i had to struggle just to get out of bed .. lol

hopefully i can train tmr, i wanna go hard on squats and or bball ... lets see how my body goes recovering from this cold (?) or flu (?) or hwatever this is

Well that was a nighmare .. fuck me. but comeback begins again. i lost a lot of weight, havent trained at all, spend sat-tue in bed and finally feel ok enough to train

BS 6x70, 6x110
OHP 6x50
shooting session (what a shitshow)

Notes:
when your warmup feels like an RM after the first 2 reps and you still have another 4 to go. awesome.. building from scratch is so great!!! I prob wont be fully recovered for a while ... got no energy after these sets .. feel exhausted

cud hardly put up a 3pt attempt without straining .. lmao .. airballed a few ... gave up

so i think that's the lowest ive weighed since summer or something. if i can't train normally yet i can still diet normally i guess, time to finish the job and get to 77kg?

Don't you live in WA? It can't be too cold there.

it can be pretty cold! ive lived in melbourne and perth both and spend time in canberra for work. Most of the time perth is nice but when it's cold, it's pretty cold. The soil is desert and at nights it cools down pretty quick. I used to train in the evening/pm and that's nicer in summer and really harsh in winter. Perth still has an identity crisis about it's winters .. heating is uncommon and ppl dont really do double glazing, etc. I think it needs it though cos those cold nights and mornings are just as harsh as any other place where those things are common
