WEIGHT: 187 (171.

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: back feeling a little wonky in a couple places
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
hit 30 SVJ with the vest on, that's good

- DLRVJ x 10
crap, there was a little kid running around and throwing a ball and her fucking mom wouldn't keep her away from the area where i was jumping. distracted, did not want to KO or trip over a two year old. missed a bunch with the dodgeball, frustrated.

- SLRVJ and SVJ x some

---------------------------------------------------------------

not quite sure what to do now. i made PRs on the block that t0ddday laid out and that i followed fairly faithfully, then had a week off-ish because of the snowstorm. so should i just try the t0ddday block again, but with a slightly lower starting weight? see if i can get to 165-166 by the end of february? i will have a forced layoff from feb 12-15 when i got to california for my friend's bachelor party, but otherwise i don't think i'm traveling.

Saw your email, ill try and get back to you - but a little unsure of your goals... the block was a modified peaking block... are you satisified w the results and want to return to the long term goal of becoming a better athlete or are you not quite satisfied and want to basically try and draw this out and peak harder so you can dunk a basketball? The goals are pretty different...

Additionally if your asking me to write you another peaking program for free you are gonna have to meet me halfway but actually putting in a lot of practice practicing catching alley oops instead of dodgeball dunks! I dont care if you have to beg a friend or pay a guy off the street to lob the ball up near the rim... your gonna need practice. Imo you have the jumping ability to do it already but if your goal is to have a training block to squeeze out another inch or two to make it even more likely... i can help you - but your gonna need some reps trying to dunk to acheive your goal...

too close to give up on goal now. being a generally better athlete can wait.

and yes, you're right, no more dodgeball dunks. need lobs.

so with that in mind, what do you think? run another peaking block? it worked really freaking well the first time.

went to wizards-warriors last night, now i can tell my grandkids i watched steph curry drop 51 in a game. would have been fun for the wiz to win -- and they kept it competitive! -- but hey, steph curry is a freak. he had a couple awesome only-dude-who-has-ever-been-able-to-do-that plays, like getting a steal running toward the sideline, stopping on a dime, turning, and firing a basically blind three with a dude in his face from about 28-29 feet.

that's the play i was talking about!!!

well, maybe i exaggerated it a little in my description, haha. that's how it was in my memory. whatever, pretty exciting.

That would have been awesome to see live! Best I get down this way is College Gameday usually (UT-UK was electric Tuesday) but thats a whole different level.

sickkkkkk!!!

do rival fans cheer for him? the stuff he's doing is mind blowing.. i don't hear rival fans booing him much.

LBSS · « **Reply #3418 on:** February 04, 2016, 03:10:52 pm »

yeah man the place went nuts when he made the play that maxent posted. it's hard not to cheer, the way he plays just induces a kind of disbelieving glee where you can't help but go "OHHHHH!" a few times a game.

we got pretty loud when the wizards made a couple of great runs in the second half, too, so it wasn't like the crowd lost sight of which team it wanted to win. but curry is so amazing. and it's hard to overemphasize how easy he makes everything look, how much it looks like he's not trying very hard. even more true in person than on TV, if that's possible.
