On a sidenote , i did a few SVJs too yesterday and they were about ~27''
Thats the biggest SVJ-RVJ gap i ever had ( 6'' ) , but i guess its the difference between a great wooden court and a dusty concrete one...

10'8= dunking soon?

Well , because i started from ~24'' max runing vert 3 years ago , i had the chance to study well dunking as i progressed on trying to dunk lower rims. So from my observations on 9'8'' and 9'10'':

8'' above rim : about 1/10  1-handers, palming the ball. 2-handers = NO
9'' above rim : about 5/10 1-handers palming the ball. 5/10 2-handers , soft
10'' above rim : 10/10 1-handers , 10/10 2-handers , 5/10 off the backboard.
Above that you can start throwing down hard.

So 10'8'' + dunk = hmmmmm , i dont think so!
If i could repeat that 10'8'' on concrete (wich i seriousely doubt ) , then id sure dedicate a dunk session to get that damn 10' dunk. But i think im not there yet...

Thanks man , you too!!!


1 May 2010

Body measurements
After 6 weeks of bulking + 1 week of unloading/undereating.

Comparison with last measurements right before starting to bulk , March 14.

Weight ( in the morning ) :  ~188 , ( +5lbs )
Waist ( navel level , loose) : ~35,25'' , ( +0,25'' )
Thighs ( about 3/4 from knee to hip flexor , flexed) : ~25,8'' , ( +1'' )
Hips ( middle of butt , loose ) : ~41,3'' , ( +1,6'' )
Biceps ( flexed ) : ~15,5'' , ( +0,3'' )
Calves : 14,8'' , ( +0,5'' )

Bodyfat estimation (online calculator) : ~17,3% ( -0,2% )
Bodyfat estimation (BF measuring scale) : ~16%

Green/Red = comparison with previous measurements , green = positive , red = negative

Wow , every size measurement went UP and bodyfat actually decreased.
Only 1/4'' increase in waist while adding 5 "clean" lbs ( last week , before deloading , i was ~191.5 in the morning. So this 188 is "clean" , no water ).
Very impressed , bulking cycle went great... :D

Beginning of next cycle this week.
My original plan was to repeat previous cycle , which was strength/size based.
But now im having 2nd thoughts , only thing i want to change is the squating, so the cycle is not strength/size based but more a transition to power. Still want to get my limit strength up though.

So here are the changes : ( red = what im changing from previous cycle )

Day 1:
Squat MSEM 2x3 ---> build up to 3RM or MSEM 3x1
Bench 4x6
Rows 4x6
Biceps/Triceps 3x12

Day 2:
Squat 4x6 ---> MSEM with a little more volume , something like 4x3x1 or 3x4x1
BSS 3x8
Calves 3x12

Im gonna be doing some conditioning too now to get leaner.
My fav is 2x8-10 ~100yrd sprints at ~60% , ~1min rest between sprints , ~5 mins rest between sets.
Not adding depth jumps yet , thats on next cycle. Gonna add pogo jumps though.
1 jump/dunk session every week too.

How does it look?

im confused on the 2nd day, 4x6 = 4 sets of 6 singles? if anything i'd do 4x3-4 not 4x6.

looks fine, just get in a volume squat day every 4th-5th session or so.

why did you change your plan?

why did you change your plan?

The programm i wrote is the prgramm i did last 5 weeks and planned to repeat.
The red is the correction im doing.
So the line Squat 4x6 ---> MSEM with a little more volume , something like 4x3x1 or 3x4x1 means i am substituting 4x6  with MSEM 4x3 or 3x4

Reasons i changed my mind are:
1) Day 1 MSEM 2x3 was too draining , leaving me weak for the upper body stuff.
2) Aint that cycle better for transitioning from strength to power? Previous was more hypertrophy , this is like balanced , next will be reactive ( DJs , jump squats , REA squats , heavy MSEM to keep strength ).
