Well...I'm pissed as shit. Felt better so I called up a buddy and went to shoot some. Played a couple light games for fun and tried some max jumps and see how my back really is. Ended up jumping pretty decent IMO and had a handful of two handers and a ton of one handed dunks off lobs and a few off the dribble.

Now for the pissed part...I had him video some so he could send me them when he got home. He sent me a few jump vids and a still of a reverse I somehow made but not the other vids, because he deleted them. Gahhhh! I'll upload what he sent later and I'm making him video again next week.

Annnd a still of a jump.

Thursday June 6 2013

Did some upper body stuff and a few box jumps since I jumped a bit this morning. Got a call about summer league hoops as well this afternoon, supposed to start this month so thats cool too.

Thanks LBSS! Lol! To be honest I didn't feel 'springy' or 'bouncy' like I did last week so maybe I can get an inch higher with my CNS really revved up. I did notice while watching the vid again that my plant speed is improving slowly, its not back to where it was before I started lifting but its moving in the right direction.

Sat June 8 2013

Bodyweight: 178 dry/morning, 180 pre workout.
Soreness/injuries: back feels pretty good.
Energy: Great! Excited to lift after Thursday for sure.

Dynamic warmup: bike, tuck jumps, ankle bounces, a/b skips, karaokes, etc

Depth jumps (18" box):
8x3

Bounds:
8x2

Box jumps (40" box):
x2

Seated box jumps:
x2

4" deficit RDLs:
225x5 275x3, 315x1 335x 275x3, 275x3 225x3. Lifting belt rocks. I think I've been slightly rounding my back because I could feel the belt dig in which forced me to use better form. 335 went up surprisingly easy. Very pleased.

Banded squats (bands +120lbs at top ROM):
225x5 295x3, 315x1 355x1, 225x5. Took more time to breathe correctly, kind of shocked how easy the top ROM of the 355 was.

Ham curls:
140lbs x6. 170lbs x2

Paused calf raises (leg press machine):
590lbs x6, x6.

Rythmic Jump squats:
50lbs x5, 70lbs x5, BW x5

Same old core/upper circuit as usual. Felt very strong/fresh today no lifting for a week really helped. Back feels great so I'm thankful for that. Lower volume to try and stay fresh for summer league.

Second game was tonight. We lost. Our big guy is still on vacation, they had 3 guys 6'3" or taller. Short version we got dominated on the boards and lost by 16. All the big guys were dunking after the game so I decided to try a few as well. Got a couple clean tow handers off the dribble and a few lobs. Tried a reverse but just cant get the timing yet. Anyway my buddy shot this while were we messing around, one of my last dunks so it wasn't the greatest.

No clue Raptor, he shot it on his phone so I I doubt it. if I had known he was going to film I would have told him to use my phone.

edit: turns out he has to lower the quality to send it to me otherwise its to big for his phone to send. Sorry guys.
