Also, I hit a 30" PR on a one step jump:

how are you measuring height in your house again, with nothing to touch?

[alestor91]

I got within an inch of rim so I just extrapolated based on that. I know for a fact that I jumped 35" in the gym, but at my house it might've been as low as 34". I'm in medical school and we have a basketball court, so I sneak in some jumps there from time to time. My ceiling is exactly 9' and I can palm it with both hands. My vertical jump device said 37-38", so I think the higher the vertical, the less accurate it is.

4.3 mph sustained over 2.14 miles.

Dunked @ 97.65kg / 215.28lb with the weigh vest maxed out at +20kg/44lb. Then proceeded to miss two bodyweight dunks in a game cause my conditioning doesn't allow dunking when fatigued.

Hit some PRs this week:

BS 1x135.5kg (~1.8xbw lol)
Jump Squat 8x180kg
Barbell Calf Raise 10x220kg
RDL 8x180kg (2.41xbw)
Hip Thrust 6x187.5kg (> 2.5xbw lol)

Bodyweight: between 74-75.5kg (163-165lb). Weak sauce squat cause my quads are forever fked from conditioning/cardio but im good for a bit more if i wasn't doing any running/dunking/ballling; not sure how much more, maybe 5-7.5kg?

Did strict barbell overhead presses today and wanted to go for a heavy topset of 10. Last week I just got 60kg(130lbs) so today I wanted to try 62.5kg (135lbs) but the second set at 55kg felt surprisingly heavy and I did 11 reps with it which felt like a max effort, so I was kinda disappointed and decided to cut down the weight and get a bit more volume in at a lower weight. Then I looked at the barbell again and realized that I loaded two 10kg plates each side instead of a 10kg and a 5kg. So I actually did 65kg (140lbs) for 11 clean reps, which is definitely a rep PR! Haha I love when stuff like that happens.

strong! what's your 1rm?! 80+ ?

[Leonel]

Thanks, I've always been quite a bit stronger in my overhead press compared to my "weak" bench. I have no idea what my 1RM is though. I guess like you said 80+ or around 85-90kg, inching closer to that bodyweight overhead press. (BW at 93-94kg at the moment) I only know my 1RM on the pushpress and there it is 105kg. Just started to do jerks and that still feels kinda odd.

Bodyweight OHP is super impressive if you could hit that! I can push press around 105 too and have jerked 130 but my strict press 1rm is around 65kg haha, just wasn't built to press I guess.

[Leonel]

Well... but the shoulder/pressing strength still doesn't help when I can't jerk (or push press) heavy
weights overhead. My leg drive sucks! Somehow I have a hard time to get the right timing/coordination down. Will be working on push presses, jerks in the next training cycle. Right now I'm working on building a good strength base and finding the right feeling with the full lifts (clean/snatch) My goal is to hit a 130kg clean and jerk before the end of this year. That would be nice. Will post a video when I manage to do this. 😊

[LBSS]

suggestion to improve leg drive and timing based on my recent n=1 experience: DB push presses. easier on shoulders and wrists, no chance of hitting yourself in the chin or nose, can get rapid feedback on how much your legs are contributing to the press.

i promised, years ago when andrew first added them to the forum, never to use the  image until i dunked a basketball.
