Peaks and valleys.  valley

hate the valleys but what are you gonna do? keep putting in work. then, 

then, more valleys.

stupid age, i wish i were 18 again and I'm only 24.

preach it brother!

two weeks away from 32 for me, I heard peak power production is until 36?

sometimes I feel 18, just slower and not as springy + less energy, that could be from the grind tho?


8/2/11 Tuesday BW=173.8

Found a new court to ball on, outdoors in the sun(finally). Rims must be extra low or I put 6inches on my vert. hopefully a combination.

Tuesday 8/9/11 BW=172.2

2 hours b-ball
p90x abs

deloading this week, no heavy weights, shooting for plyos on Thursday and some testing this weekend.

On Saturday got a good warm up and tested my VJ.(on my 32nd b-day) Still at about 27.5 SVJ and 31 RVJ. Had a week off weights and am stronger then last time I tested. I am disappointed, my ankle is still bothering me and I feel it probably is holding me back. All considered, I think I am jumping alright considering my build and low strength levels. kinda stuck at the moment for what to do next to make improvement? I know getting to 165 will help. I feel a level of constant fatigue from what I do currently and seem to have a hard time taking it to the next level(which is what I need to make progress)
Any input greatly appreciated.

Wasted after Tuesday's w/o. either got the flu or totally wreaked myself, either-way was not looking forward to today.(still could barely walk on Friday)
keep it light and simple I have not had dead lifts or BSS in the rotation for a long time. Extra punishing.
