*contact fell out last night so i'm wearing glasses today. totally fucks with me, i couldn't shoot worth shit today, either. will put a new pair of contacts in before bed and tomorrow hopefully back to normal.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: lower back tightness still there but barely, posterior lateral right knee tweaking during squat warm ups, left toe freaked out at the end
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- paused squat 260 x 3,3
overpowered the shit out of that shit. bar was flying on all reps. 265 next time. like i said posterior lateral right knee was bothering me during warm ups but i focused on keeping good glute engagement and spreading the floor and it was fine. sweatpants might have been causing the problem.

- superset x 3
-- DB OHP 35 x 10
-- pull up x 8,8,5+3

- DB RDL 80s x 10,10+15s hold

- stretch

- shoot around and a few jumps
on fire, hitting over 80%, touched rim off SVJ, DLRVJ approaches were meh and on my first four-step my left big toe started screaming at it me like it hasn't in literally years. pain went away pretty quickly but i did an SLRVJ off right, touched rim, and called it a night.

pretty freaking pleased with how i jumped considering it was at the end of the workout. will see about getting up early and jumping tomorrow, then again possibly on saturday, but up in baltimore. also promised the gf i'd do yoga with her on saturday, so i'll try to work out first. 

this morning:

- warm up

- jumps x some
awful, ~31-32 tops. did not allow myself any four-step run-ups, kept it to mostly one- and two-step with a few three-. extremely frustrating, it felt like i was re-learning how to jump from scratch. no coordination, no speed, just a jumbled mess. i think the lingering SI joint tightness/ache might have something to do with that - it's definitely worse in the mornings. reconsidering a gym session tomorrow, i may just do the yoga and give my back and hips a couple of days off from serious loading.

Lacrosse ball the shit out your glute medius and upper IT band/TFL. Also lacrosse ball the erector spinae near the QL and down close to the ilia of the hips. Always seems to help with any SI joint pain/tightness I have.

sooo much better, still not where i was the week before last or the week before that but none of the clumsy slow bullshit from the past week. dunked the large dodgeball once or twice, got owned once or twice ( ), back-ironed it the rest of the times. a few SLRVJ as well.

- bench 215 x 5,5,5

- BOR 135 x 10,10,10

still giving my back an easy time.

- 4-on-4 basketball x 2 games
i suck and am out of shape but this was really fun. got some rebounds, some steals, blocked a dude shooting a three (he complemented me on my hops later and told me he was glad i didn't try to dunk on him ), hit a couple of shots, bricked a couple of shots, what are you gonna do. before and in between the games i hit a couple of jumps easily at 34.

- superset x 3
-- dips x 10
-- inverted row x 10

- stretch

one last real workout tomorrow, for which i decided to save myself tonight, and then i'm going on vacation through the following sunday. first-ever trip to vienna, holler all y'all euros on here. might try to sneak over to bratislava, too, and budapest if i can convince my gf that it's worth the time. not gonna pretend i'll get real workouts in but i'm going to try to do 7DVJC as many days as i can, and stretch/SMR.

Still at plane distance though, i was at the far west end, at the borders with Switzerland.

3/7-3/16

today:

WEIGHT: 174 (lol, lost 2-3 pounds on vacation, suck it t0ddday)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right calf, low back during squats but not before, general stiffness
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- jumps x some
a few strong dunks with the big dodgeball, a couple that back rimmed. thought about asking the other dude in the gym to throw me a couple of lobs but i'm not there yet. surprised by how well i jumped today, though, given that i just got back from more than a week of almost no exercise outside of walking. tweaked my right lower ab on a jump but the pain didn't persist or come back after i walked it off for a couple of minutes.

- squat 225 x 5,5,5
nice and easy, low back feeling tight

- bench 185 x 5,5,5
nice and easy. did some clapping pull ups between sets.

- DB RDL 60s x 10,10

- low cable row 110 x 10,10

- stretch

great workout all things considered.
