just curious, do you play above the rim during your games? and how is it like?

Haha...yeah not really. I can dunk in isolation but putting it together in a game escapes me. Once I get there I will be sure to let you know though 

ah i see. i see from your log that you're a 2 foot jumper, so that makes sense too cause i feel like its very hard to be an ingame dunker off 2 feet.

I'm actually the opposite. SL jumper but wanted to be able to dunk from 2 feet under the rim hence the title. On the rare occasion that I get a chance to try and dunk I've managed to miss so far. Need a few more inches and it'll be a whole lot easier.

*Edit- I am 6'4 so it should be a whole lot easier for me than it currently is.

oh, i c. yea i think ingame dunks should be easier for you then being a 6'4 SL jumper. i've always thought it'd be nice to be able to finish 2 handed off 1 foot in transition, especially in more competitive games, which is why i tried to switch to going off 1 in 2015. not only is it cool, it's actually a legitimate play especially if defenders are trailing you because you can just take off smoothly and go up for the highest percentage shot in the game lol.

Really shitty weekend of eating and drinking after a couple of really good weeks. Actually it was great to eat and drink so much but I feel like shit now. Goals for this week are to keep off the alcohol and limit/restrict the amount of refined sugar I take in. Bw this morning of 93 which I hope is mainly water but we'll see.

24/10/16 - 7pm
bw - 92.2

Squats-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 90 x 3, 110 x 1
122.5 x 7 (b), 110 x 7, 6 (b)(miscounted again!!!- starting to think it's intentional sabotage)

Hip Thrusts-
Did not do. hips/lower back mildly hating me at this point.

Incline Bench-
bar x 10, 40 x 10, 10, 10

KB Row
16 x 10, 10, 10

Pallof Press-
Red band x 10, 10 (each side)

Squats felt really good. Props to Maxent and the other guys who are pushing his squat unbelted and guys like KF, Dreyth and Chris who have monster squats unbelted.  I see 140 & 150 coming to me before Christmas at this rate which would be nice. Not sure if I care about belted vs unbelted enough for it to make a difference to me at this point.

Have been doing the shoulder rehab and did some benching tonight. Felt the shoulder but there was no pain. Just need to take this really slowly. It does shit me though as what little chest muscle I had is pretty much gone.

BW still to come down. After the weekend of eating and drinking I was pretty good today. Want it back under 91 before the start of November.

solid session! seems like a great post all around, especially considering the previous one (binge eating/drinking).

I definitely prefer unbelted, if dynamic sport improvement (athletics) is also a goal.

That squat set you posted on IG looked good, fast.

Stay focused and you'll get that 140-150 !!!

pc!

Nice!!!

Damn. I was thinking you could probably hit 3 plates for a rep if you got the 122.5x7. 122.5x4 probably puts you around 135kg atm (better or worse depending how good you are at 1RM).

GF ball game last night. Bit of a let down actually. They were a decent team but one of their big guys (6'5/110kg) broke his finger last week and missed meaning they started with 5 and another of their guys strained his calf about 10 mins in. We had a full deck and put some pressure on them to go up by 25 with about 10 to go and then eased back.

Individually I played ok. Had 5 blocks which was nice. Had two potential dunk attempts which I was disappointed about though. Pretty much the first play of the game I blocked a guy who got the ball back, then I stole the ball and had the fast break. Felt fast and bouncy and just didn't commit to the dunk. Plenty of height but I wanted to make sure of the bucket. The other one was an lob with 2 seconds left in the game which was under thrown by my team mate. Another 2 feet on the pass and it would have been an easy back door dunk. I think it just speaks volumes about how much more jumping and dunking practice I need to get in.

All in all a good win albeit slightly disappointing given the opposition.

*Edit- before the game the rims were seriously low. about 8ft and I was being stupid doing all kinds of dunks on them which was actually great fun. Tried a windmill and hit my forearm against the rim and pretty much can't open my hand fully. Good times.
