27 April 2011

Bodyweight@session : ???
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

Bball practice.
Good endurance , very good jumping.
Got ~28'' SVJ,  31'' dropstep and 32,5''-33'' RVJ. All those are ~1'' below recent PRs but geting them just 20 hours after workout without stim and randomly on warmups ( not a proper ME jumps session ) is awesome!

Hey I was just wondering what the stim workout actually is, like how does it differ from a power workout?

Hey I was just wondering what the stim workout actually is, like how does it differ from a power workout?

Well , power workouts are supposed to train reactive qualities , Rate of Force Development and possibly Force Absorption.
Typical explosive workout would have jump squats @ 10-20% ( im using hang power cleans instead currently ) and explosive squats @ 60-70%.
Stim workouts are supposed to create a stimulus to the CNS & muscles without much fatigue, causing a fast and big overcompensation the next few days. For stim i am using some different approaches. The previous stim workouts logged here are not the typical , when in my training cycles , i use MSEM variant 2 , ( singles maxing at 105% , new PR every time ).
When in peak cycle , like the one i just entered , my stim workouts alternate between  MSEM @ 80-85% ( buffer ) and supermaximal 1/4 squats ( 110-120% ).
Hope it helps.

30 April 2011

ME jumps / dunks session

Jumping on concrete , 9'10'' rim

Bodyweight@session : 193,5 AM , WIN!
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : upper body DOMS , nothing much
Stim : 3 teaspoons coffee + 1 redbull

- 10mins dynamic warmup

- bunch of low/mid effort jumps

9'10'' jumps:
- 1x3 SVJs : 7.5'' above rim , 30.5'' ,  :personal-record:
- 1x3 Dropsteps : 10'' above rim , 33'' ,  :personal-record:
- 3x4 3 steps DLRVJs : average 33'' , max 34''

- 4x4 9'10'' dunk attempts: 0/16  :o
- 1x1 9'8'' dunk attempts: First try = made dropstep 2-hander hanging on rim , no interest , rim too low , GTFO!

COMMENTS:
- Sick SVJ & dropstep PRs!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
- RVJ needs work , FA is still lacking. Pushed for 35 but didn't even tie recent 34.5'' No worries , FA block is planned for later.
- Grip sucked today , couldn't palm the ball. I am horrible at 2 handers , horrible at lobs. Had a few hard misses off the backboard, i am just bad there. What annoys me more is that i am getting 11'' above that rim and still can't dunk it on a bad grip day. Means 36'' will not be enough for 10' , FML! Will start doing more double hand jumps to improve that ability.
Rant off...
