170622 Week 1 Day4 in to Jump Phs 3, FAILed Strength PHS 3 and RESUME JUMPING NOW!
Pass 3 week note, with the nagging knee issue, I had Stopped Squat and all Jump activity. However I had replaced squat with deadlift.
Further more, it had been raining on and off non stop for over 2 weeks. Those Core workout and and eccentric piston squat had only happened twice or 3 times.
Lifting session had been limited to once or twice per week (instead of 3 times a weeks) due to laziness and dead rising 3 every night.
However, with in the pass 2.5 weeks. I had introduced Sprinting 100m/200m at moderate level with my girl. Because she was preparing for a 800m race (which she got 2nd place last weekend, with GUN time being the same as First place, guess she is 0.5 sec behind).
So I can say Phs 3 of Strength building is a Miss. Russian squat 3rd attempt is incomplete. I did manage to increase my Deadlift from 325 to 335 4x4 easier.
So with the rain FAINLLY STOPPED after like 3 weeks today (Thursday) which is 4th day into my Jump Phs. I decide to go resume jump training.
I can tell my vert decreased... with 3 weeks no jump and limited strength training.
With all worry aside, I moved myself into rim 3 going according to the 2017 plan. Phs 3 rim 3!
To my surprise, I am able to get decent height with my whole wrist over the rim (rim 3 being 2.96m).
So I did 5 stand stilll, 5 1 steps, 5 2 steps and a few full run up jump.
I think... i am very possible that i can dunk on rim 3 provided my knee remain healthy and i give more time and effort in skill development.
That night, My leg is very tired, i can feel the tendon and muscle.. is tired.. probably due to the CNS shocking? I sleep at 1030pm and stopped myself turning on the video games.
170623 Resumed Squat Friday
Since yesterday Jump session had not much KNEE issue, and I had also skipped All lifting session this week. I decided to go Squat this morning. (after all, i can not except myself not going to gym for an whole week).
Going easy..... I do not want any knee issue to come back.. I just share the rack with 2 buddies and squat light but explosive. At the end I wrap up with 3x4 at 225lbs (2 45 plates).
I guess.... I failed increasing my strength in Phs 3 Strenght phs.... but now is Jump phs.... so lets focus on lifting light but lifting fast, and JUMP more.
I should not jump everyday.... however... the knee issue happened in Jump phs 2 where i was jumping like 4 times a days... I Dunked on rim 2... but knee issue appeared and lead to my failing of strength phase 3.. I need to be caution.
ps. Mean while, utuber 40 yrs old Andy is on Bounce Kit week 7... and back to dunking now... Bouncekit really worked out good for him.
FEELING UPDATE:
With my old age, soreness usually appear 48 hrs after training. But it is weird that i felt my joint and muscle/tendon feeling sore and tired the night after my jump session, I can feel my leg is tired and being sore in bed at 1030pm. With a longer than usual sleep, still able to go squat the next morning, but the joint/muscle/tendon soreness appear right after my squat session all the way till lunch...
I dont know if this is good or not. Should be a good thing.
