Yeah its pretty sad when you think about it. On the other hand I know a lot more so it's definitely not wasted time but just could have been better spent.

9.30 ball game last night. Felt pretty good  playing after the gym at 5am that morning but have to admit I had a red bull on the way to the match to keep me up. Had 15 points in a 20 point win. We were up by 4 points with 5 to go and ran away with it in the final minutes. Was a pretty physical match with the other team not really knowing how to play hard without going over the top. One of their guards kept jumping in front of me trying to draw a charge. It was borderline ridiculous and unfortunately the refs didn't get on top of it until half time. I was bringing the ball up the court and he jumped about 4 feet to try and get in front of me. I went straight through him and put him down and there was no call. Quite confusing. Then in the 2nd half I was on a fast break and the same guy was tracking back in front of me and he turned around to face the other way trying to draw the charge so I'd go straight into his back. Completely bizarre. Lucky for both of us I was able to step around him and finish.

Probably the most important part of the night was that I was able to sneak home a couple of dunks pre game.  Height was not an issue but there's definitely more practice required here. We had a nice grippy ball though which made a huge difference.

Also, got a nice compliment from a few guys watching the game last night. They asked me who I played for and were assuming I still played a representative level and that I was only in my mid 20's. Was pretty awesome to hear and can't wait to hear what they say after I've been on Toddday's program for a while.

Cleaning up the garage and making more space to get the garage gym going again. Will still have a membership but this way I can still get a lift in if family stuff gets in the way. As I was cleaning I got a quick lift in too.

Front squats
40 x 5
60 x 5, 5

Incline bench
40 x 5
50 x 5, 5, 5

Deadlift
60 x 5
100 x 5, 5

Working on DL form and the second set felt great.

*edit - took a rolling pin to my quads earlier in the afternoon. Felt great.

Yeah I'm looking to get the garage better set up. The more I think about it I only need the weights 2-3 days a week max and it makes so much sense to do it there if it's set up well.

Ball game last night. Thought it was a 10pm start and get a message from one of my team mates at 7.50 asking if I'm there yet. Got my stuff together and managed to make it with 5 minutes left in the first half. We were down by 6 then and they had 2 guys that were dominating. Really pleasing game to play though as we figured them out and defensively dominated them and they only scored 1 points in the second half and we scored 23. I had 6 points which wasn't too bad for playing half a game. Need to work on my shooting though as it has completely deserted me. I used to have an automatic jumper from the top of the key and it's completely gone.

Had one of the best defensive plays in recent history though. Was playing centre in the zone when their only scoring option (PG) got the ball in the middle and proceeded to try and go all Kyrie on me. He ended up trying a step back fade away from the top of the key which I sent about 3m back over his head.

Also had one of those fast break do I dunk options. I was on the fast break with their only tall trailing me. Could easily have gone up for the dunk and it would have been great as he was waiting for an opportunity to chase me down Lebron style. In the end though I chickened out and used my body as a buffer and went with the low layup. Disappointing but better that way than making a fool of myself and risking the points (we were only 4 or 6 up at that stage)

Either way a pleasing game.

That's good that you didn't get any hip pain with the squats. The wrist is probably just a niggle that should feel better by the next time you bench.

Yeah it was a bit of a tester for me. Have never truly done low bar squats so figured I'd try. Felt pretty good and in the top set I started to get more comfortable with the position.

I hurt my wrist playing ball a few weeks back. I usually tape it but it's been bugging every now and then.

Trained with my mate last night so just did whatever.

RDL - bar x 10, 60 x 10
Deadlift- 80 x 5, 100 x 5, 120 x 5, 130 x 5
(last set was belted - lower back felt somewhat dodgy after 120 set. Threw the belt on and the 130 set was hard but not sure I got much from belt anyway)

Got talking to my cousin who was training at the same time so spent about 25 mins standing around. We had just watched him do box squats for sets of 4 at 180kg. It's his deload week too  :o after maxing out at 220 for 5x5 last week. He is about 115-120 at the moment though but strong as fuck. He's a bodybuilder but trains for strength too. First time I've ever actually seen him lift. We catch up pretty often but never in the gym.

Chins-
bw x 5, 5, 5

Tyre Flip (don't know weight of tyre but it was tractor sized)
4 x 5 flips each

EZ bar curls-
25kg x 10, 10, 10

Felt pretty good afterwards. Forearms are feeling it from the tyre flips. First time ever doing these but they felt pretty good.

Your cousin sounds like a beast.
It would've been really cool/motivational seeing those lifts done in person.

Yeah he didn't know I was there at that point. We were standing about 10m away just in awe. He's a legit big dude though so seeing him do any lifting is great. He uses 70s for db bench which just blows my mind. Super nice guy though and was really helpful to my mate (who has lost 30+kgs recently) with some information on training.
