Back finally felt normal during the day on Thursday so I decided I'd try some lifting. Felt great to be back in the gym. I've lost a few pounds in the last week and a half and weighed in at 182lb in the morning so I was worried slightly that my lifts would be down with the weight loss combined with not lifting in a minute. Work was cancelled because of snow/ice so I got in the gym around 3pm versus 11pm which also felt really good. Anyways, didn't try to do too much but it felt good so back up to a full routine Monday!

Went and shot hoops for about an hour and a half before lifting. Got 4 games in as the gym was packed again, but good competition. Made for an excellent warmup.

Bodyweight this morning was 182lbs. Before lifting it was 184. Energy was surprisingly high for having just played. Ankles were a little sore (floor at this particular gym sucks)

Squats:
225x5, 275x3, 325x2, 345x3, 365x1 385x1, 225x5. Wow. The hoops must have took more out than I thought, the 385 felt very heavy.

RDLs:
225x5, 245x5, 265x2, 285x2, 305x1, 325x1, 345x1  Definitely didn't see this coming after struggling with the squats. Felt very motivated though since I sucked on the squats.

Seated box jumps:
4x2

Jump squats:
10x3 First two sets w/ 40lbs, last BW.

kettlebell swing:
12x1 w/ 45lb bell.

Depth jumps:
x4

Ham curls:
120lbs 5x3

Calf raises (500lbs):
10x3 (holds at top/bottom)

I skipped a bit of the pylo work I normally due since I hooped just before and added some core work throughout between sets and some 3 step approach work at the end. First two jumps were 41" and 40". Last jump SHOCKED me, it just felt perfect. 46"! Fell on the landing, body just couldn't absorb it lol! Best feeling I've had in the gym in awhile!

BTW, I use tape and a measuring tape against a beam that runs across the ceiling to measure my jumps. Cheap and pretty accurate lol!

Tits or

I mean... VIDS or

 

Yea RVJ, If I EVER get close to that for an SVJ....I will literally shit myself. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, when I first started and was around 37" RVJ I had one jump that was 42". I couldn't repeat it at the time quite like I'm sure I can't walk in and repeat this jump. I call it an outlier jump, its not repeatable on a consistent basis at all, just that prfect instance where all the planets align lol! It DOES keep me highly motivated because it shows me that somewhere in my body Im capable of that type of jump.


And sorry for no vid, I definitely wasn't expecting it and wasn't even thinking of getting it with my phone which is sadly.my only camera lol!

Wasn't the best session but was ok. I don't think I ate enough today, just felt a little weak/tired through the workout. Skipped the shooting I normally do after and the jumps. Rest and ice tonight.

Ran 2  hours of full court ball last night. Got a little gassed at the end because I was the only guy capable of breaking the soft trap press they were throwing at us. Bodes well for 3on3 though so since thats halfcourt 40min games. Conditioning should be ok. This'll be the last time I hoop until our first game, from here on its just shooting around and making sure I'm as fresh as possible. On that note I'll be deloading Friday and Monday with a couple light weight sets

Well, they've pushed back the start of rec league play a week...so I pushed back my deload a week lol.

man no rest for the wicked. Super impressive all the weight work you get in while still playing ball as much as you do.

how much do you lift during league?

Keep it up man. Its good motivation for me.
