Last Friday night I picked up trap bar to add to the garage gym. Pretty awesome as I have wanted one for years but was too cheap to pay freight to have one shipped. Used it a couple of times now and I like the movement.

Got some more low rim dunks in last week also. I jump horribly with a ball, and have not practiced lobs in years. It is a horribly sad sight  I am sure. Been at the same job for years and made a switch last week. should be for the better but it leaves some things up in the air. Feel like I barely train as it is, hopefully this doesn't give me more excuses.

This month has seemed unproductive. New job has me on my feet walking much more then the last, plus the new schedule has deflated my motivation.
It did feel good to get under the bar, have to keep that in mind.

productive or not, you're still getting these sessions in .. which is more effective than what i've done several times: fall off & just ditch everything, and end up detraining completely.

it's interesting how our psychology always comes into play .. I mean, your squat isn't progressing but you made some progress on deadlift, you're still training - thus not detraining .. so, you're still "hanging on" while in a down phase, which allows you to be much better prepared for the next up phase.

just keep maintaining & pushing when you can, but then really take advantage of your upswings.

also cool with the dunks. people with freak verts off dribble always amaze me, especially when it looks like they aren't relying on arm swing at all.. just looks insane.

peace!
