Rough week training wise. Schedule has been hectic and I got off track with food and training. Back onto it now though.

Played ball on Wednesday again. Really funny but the only thing I care about when playing is my athleticism. Our team put up at least 25-30 3's and hit only a couple of them which is painful but I'm happy to battle for the rebounds and out muscle and out jump guys.  I'm twice the age of some of these guys and still out jumping and out running them. One hilarious play was me coming in from the weak side for a rebound against their two tallest players (my height, maybe close to my weight), getting a head above them and flattening one of them in the process. Sadly I had a fast break with a few seconds left and just wasn't agressive enough with my jump. Probablty 2-3" from a comfortable dunk. Got roasted by the team as they were expecting another dunk. Maybe next time.

Back on track with training and eating now. Onwards and upwards.

So much for logging eh? haha

Had a full day yesterday. 1 hour BJJ class over lunch then ball game last night. Fitness has suffered the last few weeks but still love that I can out jump pretty much anyone. It's almost like no one here trains for that. I would say that my 1 step DLVJ is around high 20's to 30. Nothing spectacular even. Legs were pretty trashed too. Definitely need to get some work in so I'm better for next week.

bit late but definitely true for me, too, about logging as a way to help stay on top of training.

You know what, I haven't actually trained since I posted that haha. Happens to me every damn time.

i mean, whenever have a layoff from posting on here, i am almost certainly not training during that time.

I'm normally pretty good. Legit haven't trained the last two weeks though.

Ball game last night. 10pm game and we lost by a 15 and as a team we played like shite. The most frustrating part of playing in a social team is half the time your team mates do stupid shit and there's not much you can do. Big guy comes down and takes a transition 3 that air balls? Great! Same big guy tries a behind the back pass through traffic in the key? Great! I try not to get too stressed about it these days.

I was feeling bouncy though and attempted 10-12 dunks after the game. Most off the lob and off two feet. Only made 3 of them but interesting enough I was getting just over 30" on all jumps off two. Ball was slippery in the humid conditions so I only tried one dunk off one foot which was a baby two hander. Just slipped it in. Feeling ok though as I haven't trained much the last week or two due to work and family stuff and I'm about 6kgs over ideal weight. Good things to come from this I think.

Nice session this morning. Did some work on the hip flexors, knees and ankles last night and it paid off. Squats felt easy. 110 was an east paused rep. Probably a 6-7 RPE.
