Shot for an hour this morning, jumped/dunked for 30 minutes afterwards.  All crap. Sinuses/head cold are robbing me of energy/motivation.  Probably going to rest tomorrow so I feel halfway decent for Friday.  Bleh.

A few clips from Sunday, although most of the session was crap I found these interesting.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ9qjGSvLbU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ9qjGSvLbU</a>

I seem to be taking off from a half step further back lately. In older vids my R plant (RL style) foot was on the red volleyball line, now its noticeably behind it. IDK why this is happening or if its hurting or not. MAYBE im wasting some vertical power/height because I'm needing to jump further horizontally? Hmmm.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAVsS5zZWrU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAVsS5zZWrU</a>

A ME jump from near the end of the session. You can notice my look of disgust on the video because it FELT like a shit jump. Watching the vid tho I'm almost if not as high as I was a few weeks ago on jumps that felt good. Also my landing was solid,  I didnt collapse at all. Normally on a ME jump I'll collapse some on impact (another reason I thought this was crap). So, I think maybe Im stronger now and im able to take the impact better as well as muscle through the takeoff without feeling the 'spring' I normally feel on a good jump. Im hoping this translates to an inch or two in gains when I do my RFD block!

And lastly....

A miss. :) Happens but I made up for it with some half ass jump shot lol!

Resistance bands. Similar concept to chains hung off the bar. Less weight in the hole but gets heavier up top forcing you to finish a rep rather than let momentum take over for you. My bands are about 60lbs of resistance each at the top of the lift, maybe 10-20 in the hole. So total extra at top ROM is ~120lbs.

There are a variety on there, you'll need the 41" length iirc. They have a chart that matches colors to resistance as well.

Yea I saw someone do it on a youtube vid and figured id try it. Pro: much easier than a normal 'toss lob'. Con: you dont jump as high. (Well I dont because im not carrying as much speed as I do in a toss lob imo)

Friday October 24 2014

BW at 179-181 lbs. Slowly trending back toward the 175 I want to be at. Energy was very bleh (1230am start time smh).

-bike + dynamic warmups + jumps

-deadlifts
(Warmups) 135x5, 225x3, 315x1, 365x1.
(Worksets) 315x5, 315x5, 315x5, 315x5. I REALLY need to got get some straps, grip is majorly holding me back. Multiple resets throughout the sets. But, I did get the lifts easier than expected for how late it was.

-seated calf raise:
150lbs: x12, x12, x12. 

-BSS:
120lbs: x10, x10, x10.  (Per leg)

-Ham curl:
140lbs ): x11, x12, x10. Bleh.

Tossed in a few lightweight glute thrusts, couple dumbbell SL box squats and some core work to finish. Normally this would qualify as a sub par session but given the late hour...its decent.

--------

Sunday October 26 2014

Weight at 178 in the morning. Planned to shoot some hoops and get loose but ended up playing some games with some local high school players. Played alright,  just missed a poster.on a 6'4" kid on the baseline :( . Dunked around afterwards for a little and crushed a reverse off a self bounce lob. Awesome :)

Monday October 27 2014 (9am)

BW at 178 this morning, 179 post breakfast/pre workout.
Energy was good, clean breakfast definitely helped there.

-bike+dynamic warmups+jumps

-squats! (Banded as usual)
(Warmups) bar x 5, 135x5, 225x3,  295x1, 345x1.
(Worksets) 295x5, 295x5, 295x5, 295x5. Decided to make a change. Ive been pissed at my lack of depth and progress lately so I reset down 20lbs and made sure everything was ATG not to parallel.  Will try to build back up. These were nice and explosive though :)

-stepups:
120lbs: x10, x10, x10. (Per leg so 30 reps on each side)

-calf raise on leg press:
550lbs: x12, x12, x12.  Ok....so these were way easier than last week. I actually looked to see if I had the right weight loaded lol! If they are this easy next session I'll add weight. Side note: calves do look shredded today. Cool.

-hypers :
45lbs : x12, x12, x12.  Iso hold at the top kills glutes.

-banded jump 1/4 squat:
135lbs: x5, x5, x5.  Listened to KF, backed off and fpcused on explosion and power.  Good sets.

Light lunges, core work to finish. Very good session.

Having a horrible week and have skipped workouts over and over. Just getting ran over.  So I said F it and went to hoop. Went with a buddy who is in from school (hes a junior, just transferred to a D1 school in NC from JUCO, just landed the starting pg spot!) And shot around while he did some plyos and then we dunked. Well, I coached him a little and threw lobs lol! He's 6'1 and so damn close to getting it consistent.  Anyways...I rammed a few for motivation when he seemed to get tired. Got a big mill but no one was recording it. Did get this short clip in between hos attempts...

Felt awesome and fresh having done nothing since Tuesday when I did some skill work lol

Also...not on vid but...got a ehh 360, a lob off the side of the backboard and back ironed an oop from the 3rd hash. Ive never tried jumping far so it surprised the hell out of me...and scared me lol! I was leaning and it felt like I was falling in the air. But, it gives me some fun stuff to work on. :)

Didnt put in original post because it doesnt count...not on vid lol

Played some Sunday. Full court for 3 hours with some good players (local college guys and some buddies in on fall break plus some good hs kids, great runs). Played ok by my standards,  tried to be more of a facilitator considering the talent/skill around me and ended up with some damn nice assists if I say so myself lol! Had one game where we just weren't hitting as a squad so I had to ratchet it up a notch and dropped a 3, pull up j, fastbreak layup and another 3 in succession.  Last 3 came after I put a guy on the ground with a crossover> hesitation> stepback move. Completely hyped my team and we came back and won that game. :)

Skipped this mornings squat workout to try and figure some stuff out. Will definitely squat tonight. Too much going on so im trying to keep active so I dont slip into depression. Thinking is very bad right now.

Sigh. I played again Sunday. All I did last week. Well...correction...I drove around Sunday night and wound up at a bar. First alcoholic beverages I've had in over 3 years. Needless to say I feel like shit today which is basically how I've felt for the past 2 weeks. I just want to hold my daughter but my ex is a class A bitch. Hopefully the lawyers can make something happen soon. I need to go lift,  I need to go release this pent up aggression. Maybe I will. Idk.

Good news is depression lowers bodyweight. I was at 176 Thursday but I look like shit composition wise.
