Well yes, wrist at rim would be 10'8'' , 33'' for me 38'' for you. Base of palm is 1'' higher so 37'' for you.
Also the hand folding thing makes perfect sense, but i think it takes 1 inch below wrist to do that. When you can reach exactly wrist at rim you can 'semi-fold', like 45 degrees.
Anyway, bullshit details,  keep it up! 

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: glutes, hams
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little, left felt weird but not painful. just a little tight maybe. went away after i got warm
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
did a bunch of full-court lay ups. fun times, these are good for conditioning. if i ever do a conditioning block i think it'd be fun to throw these in, work up to sets of 20 or something.

- bench 200 x 6,6

- pull up x 6; +10 x 5,5
first time doing weighted pull ups in a long time.

- circuit x 4
-- push up x 12
-- inverted row x 12
-- decline sit up +15 x 10

- stretch

i like that high-volume stuff. feels good, challenging without pushing my shoulder or low back in unsafe ways.

Age vs Vertical???

thanksgiving was great, lots of family time. bout to go watch the washington john walls take on the new orleans anthony davises. got caught up with gf's family today and didn't have time for a full workout but did make it to the gym for:

- shooting around, dribbling practice, and full-court layups x 40 minutes

shoulder was hurting and bounce was not great so didn't do more than a couple of ME DL jumps, none from four steps.

have been working out pretty much randomly since i got back from my trip 3+ weeks ago. i've had a few good jumping days in that time but i'm not doing anything structured and that worries me. also i don't feel like i'm overloading at all, which as we all know is necessary for actual progress. the holidays are coming up in a few weeks. i have it in mind to do as much of flying in four (EDIT: plus upper body shit that will continue to be de-emphasized) as i can between now and when i leave for christmas family time, use those ~4 days as the adaptation period, and do the final workout or two as basically priming days for testing just before new year's. time for a big push.

starting tonight. gonna do the intermediate version because i can't claim a 2x bw squat right now. but i'll keep adding weight pretty aggressively (10-20 lbs/workout) on squats until i can't anymore.

also, just an observation: my best jumping comes after a leg workout (jumps or depth jumps, squats, and RDLs) plus an extra day of rest (~72 hours instead of ~48). occasionally, those rest days include something like moderate-intensity tennis.

last night:
