Rec league game was a blowout, we won by 40 something on cruise control. Played 2 more pickup games afterwards, then dunked with some buddies for 15-20 mins.

Thanks Vag! It felt real solid but I was definitely surprised by the video.

Weighed in at 182.7lbs today pre training. Deadlifted 385 for my top single with mild effort, I know I have more in me. 335 7 sets of 3 and a lot of SL assistance work; BSS, ham curls, glute kick machine etc. Also got some SVJs around 36" during warmups (jumping onto a 36" box, minimal to no knee bend).

I feel like I have more left in me to go at this BW of low 180s. Debating continuing the strength block until i get stuck then hitting the explosive block rather than switching in 2 weeks. :/ Hmmmm.

I incredibly excited for this summer if i can stay healthy/injury free!

warmups and some jumps/plyos for activation

weight at 185.2lbs in gym clothes/shoes. Probably 183ish sans clothes lol!

Deadlifts:
135 x5, 225 x3, 315 x1, 345 x1, 395 x1!!! Wasnt 'easy' but smooth and controlled with no form issues.

345 7 sets of 3.

Circuits 4x10 each: BSS (130lbs), ham curl (145lbs), seated calf raise (150lbs), glute kick machine (130lbs) and straight leg deads (135lbs). Dear god. Usually i break up the circuit with core work but tried it all with 30 sec rest between sets. Fuck. Lol! Pump is real. Ended with 500 reps of various weighted core stuff, usually i get 800-1000 reps in but i was deaddddd. Awesome session!

Bleh. Had to skip squatting yesterday. Came down with something Sunday night/Monday morning and have dropped 8lbs so far. Hoping Im almost through it and we'll see what happens. Hoping to go light on Friday, maybe just squat and dead 225 to keep the movement fresh and see how i feel. Bah.

On the mend....trying to eat to gain some weight back but still eat clean.

Dicked around in the weight room yesterday while the woman did back/biceps/core. Warmed up with squats to 315 then did a bunch of singles at 315. Same thing with deadlifts. Can tell Im weak at 178lbs lol but it felt easier than i was expecting. Hoping to be back tight wherei was in a week or two. Shot around for about 30 mins afterwards.

Thanks LBSS, being sick sucks.

Today im gna do some light back/biceps work and maybe take the car put to the rod run in town, looks like this ones a good one. Traffic is stopped everywhere lol

Spoke to soon...laid up in the hospital with some sort of intestinal inflammation BS. This week has sucked ass. Cant wait to get back to normal and just resume lifting and jumping.

Ah no good. Take it easy and get better soon mate.

Well...didn't exactly take it easy but i feel ok, probably 85-90% to where I was at so not too bad.

Rec league tourney game Thursday night, quarterfinals. Close game throught out, I tried to keepy minutes low knowing if we won we had semis an hour later. Played 25ish minutes and got the game winning layup with 4.3 seconds left to go up 109-108. Got hammered on the way up across the right arm and shoulder as he was intentionally trying to foul but he just couldn't jump high enough to really affect the shot so I just laid it in lefty on the way down. Felt good to hit a game winner again.

We got trashed in the second half of the semis tho, up 9 at half time and lose by 12. SMH. Too many guys trying to get back all the points on one possession vs just playing the game and letting a run happen. Bah.

Felt ok Friday so I deadlifted, definitely not as strong as I was. Went top single 385 and it was a little harder than a few weeks backs 395. Got all my reps in though including assistance work.

Did chest and tris along with some light plyos today. Plan to shoot around and squat tomorrow!
