didn't log last night because i actually kept discipline and WENT TO SLEEP.  :highfive:

BW = idk but I'm about to buy a scale finally bought a scale, it's shipping
SORENESS =  none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = a bit, gf slept over and she had to get up at 6, which fucked my shit up a little
DIET = solid

s3: power
- RATING (7/10)
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes x 5
i shudder to think what the feedback would be on the CF forum w/r/t my form, but felt fast anyway  :P

- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins: game going so subbed:
depth jumps 3x3
depth drops 3x3
felt better than the other day

- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
likewise

- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
likewise

- SQUAT 3 x 8
205,205,205

- OHP: 3x5
125, 135 PR

- DB row: 3x8
- UNILATERAL: 3 x 8e (BSS)
- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?)

- STRETCH

Got off work super late, so got to gym super late, so ran out of time to finish this workout. Got pissed and decided that instead of rushing through OHP, DB rows, BSS and stretching with the 15 minutes I had left after my first OHP set, I would try to PR with 135 and call it a night. Nailed it, and RPE wasn't even that high, maybe a 7. Totally irrelevant to vert, but whatever. Still felt okay about it afterward.

I will save the  :personal-record: gif for jump or MAYBE squat related PRs.

Haha yeah well I figure it's best to hold myself accountable and note when I've skipped or subbed something. Plus tbh I don't really like your format, so I'm just gonna stick with this.

yesterday:

BW = idk but I finally bought a scale, it's shipping
SORENESS =  none
ACHES/INJURIES = right quad was bugging off and on all day
FATIGUE = none
DIET = solid

work
SMR x over an hour

Quad was flipping out for some reason and I've been bad about SMR, so I did a real thorough job, bottoms of feet all the way up to traps. Feet especially were tough. I really like the SMR exercise I found for them, though: Take two tennis balls, find something to hold onto for balance, and just step on the balls, alternating feet and moving them back and forth to hit different spots. Intense and my left foot was a bit pissed right afterward, but feet felt better after that.

Also, I got plenty sleep last night.

Wanted to go do ME jumps tonight but there's ball going on so no court. Fuck more depth jumps, I need to go at the rim. I suck at depth jumps. Will sleep well tonight and go tomorrow afternoon.

I used to suck at depth jumps when I was doing them in basketball shoes... and I was doing much better in barefeet or running shoes.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps

Do them barefooted :D

If you suck even more and get injured, we'll know you weren't using proper landing mechanics. Bad, but heck, at least we know something.

Haha, maybe I'll give that a try.

No but really, you're probably either landing weird, using too much quad (break a lot at the knees and very little at the hips) and/or use too high of a box.

You should learn to land first, doing depth drops, and then put in the jump part.
Current PR status:

All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg

Actually I think this is probably right. I'm heading to the gym in a second, will try a couple of these to see where I break. Hm.

BW = idk but you know the drill
SORENESS =  none
ACHES/INJURIES = something was but i forget now lol
FATIGUE = none
DIET = solid

s1: volume-strength

- RATING (8/10)

- warmup

- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2) game going so subbed:
depth jumps 3x3
depth drops 3x3
Raptor is today's winner. Focused on keeping hips back on the landing and also used a lower box. Result = better jumps = profit.

- MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5 no space to subbed:
MR half tucks 5x5 == last three sets felt very good

- SQUAT: 3 x 8
215,215,215

- trap bar DL 3x5
300,300,300

- OHP: 3x5
120,120,120

- DB row: 3x8
75,75,75

- UNILATERAL: 3 x 8e (BSS)
150,150,150

- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?)
N

- STRETCH

Nice workout.

I thought so. You should probably watch what happens to your upperbody and where your shoulders are positioned. If they are too far forward as in a good morning you're probably loading the quads since the center of gravity is moved too much forward.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps
