Notes:
Gym renovated, it sucks now. Need to find a new one next week.

What did they do? Add more machines?

moved everything around and sold the platform (the only one in the gym) i used to squat on. yea no idea, wtf. lol.

That's so annoying. I'm lucky that when my gym does something it only adds to the gym and doesn't take away. We got a rope climbing machine the other day. Need to try that one out.

went to about a dozen gyms around my area, cant find one which allows me to squat on a platform without being inside a cage. sucks. i just got used to teh freedom of using bumpers on a platform and now i have to go back to shitty flooring (rubbery) and/or squatting inside racks which mess up my form. oh well, i'll stop bitching and relearn to squat (again). serves me right for getting used to a good thing.

might be a good thing. maybe i can change focus now to something else.. idk. BBall team developments, PF dropped out. This dude is 6'8", 105kg athletic AF. But now it changes my plan to come off the bench as a 4. B/c it means there is a missing starting F. Im not as good inside (both sides of the court) as the other 2 so it looks like im going to play SF. Been working on my jumper. Sucks. Because i was in ok shape for a fat/strong PF. Im hideously out of shape for a wing. People who flake absolutely ruin the experience of playing basketball.

Might be the best way to get into shape. Give yourself no choice but to. Also, the quickest way to learn is on the court.

Started doing RDLs and i found i had waaaaaaay more ROM than when i stopped doing this exercise some 3 months ago. Cant explain what build up my strength this way while i was not doing the exercise. If my grip was stronger i prob would be using a lot more weight straight away. Interesting..

I want to do EOD training but it doesn't always line up with basketball days (friday and sunday). But EOD def works better for me in the weight room. So idk.  Think it's time for me to give up on getting a 180kg squat this summer. I can't hope to do it in-season, the basketball just kills my gains and im serving two masters and getting fat and out of shape as a result because i thought by eating more i can make it work but it doesn't seem to have helped and in the meantime i've got soft and weak and even more out of shape. Went for a walk with my bro 2 days ago and i was losing my breath climbing a hill. we're talking about a walk not even running. Even if i wanted to continue focusing on squatting i have no gym to train at right now, my old one membership expires on teh 19th of feb but it completely sucks now .. i have to squat on rubber with ppl walking behind me in a high traffic area or turn to the side and walk the bar 10m to squat on the platform and then turn right and WALK it back which is shit for PRs or doing sets of hard squats..

Rough plan for the next 9 weeks (64 days):
Eat 100% clean  and recomp down to 87.5kg / 192.5lb to play a reasonably in-shape wing
Focus on basketball skill (3 pt shooting, wing defence etc)
Put squat on maintenance (175kg 1rm)
Start doing conditioning 3-4x a week (not including bball)
Regain lost strength and mass in the upper body and back (i neglected this to specialise on squats)
Peak for athleticism around week 9 (but not necessarily vertical; mainly fitness and quickness is more useful in basketball than 2 leg vertical which is 99.99% useless)

Notes:
Was supposed to be a light day but warmups with 120kg felt not hard and i thought maybe i could try a PR but i didnt think i could get 8x145kg. Thought i could reset and go for 10s and picked 132.5kg which i got without needing stims or  psych up for any rep. This is good, im squatting on rubber (not platform) on a light day and getting a PR, 1rm calculator says 10x135kg ->180kg. So lets aim for that next week.
