26 July 2011

Bodyweight@session : ~187
Injuries/aches : right hip bugging
Soreness : none

Somehow that right hip got retrigered , it usually gets triggered from high rep low depth squats , probably recent below parallel pistols did it. Nothing too much though...

EXPLOSIVE PARALLEL BOX PISTOL SQUATS ( 1:1:1 ):
8x2@BW+45lbs.
-Left leg awesome , right leg limited from hurting hip.

BSS ( 1:1:1 ):
3x6@BW+45lbs

SINGLE LEG CALVE RAISES ( 1:2:1 ):
3x20@BW
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Soreness : none

Dunks session

Tried to improve dunking without palming the ball ( cuffed & 2-handers ). Went pretty well.
Dunking 9'10'' is rather easy now when i go for normal dunks ( full runup + lefty dunk palming the ball ), i get power dunks without even trying max. 2 handers were improved, baseline approach dunks too. Cuffed 1 handers didn't go in but i had a few hard misses. Landed a dropstep 2-hander, and off the dribble 2-hander, sick.
After ~20 dunk attempts on 9'10'' i moved to 10'. Managed to get a couple of soft dunks there too, all the others where backriming or getting stuffed. 10' looked very 'low', not intimidating at all...
After all those dunk attempts i did 3 rim touch RVJs where i was able to touch wrist at rim in all of them ( 10'8'' - 33'' ) , awesome!
That's all...

Now you need to keep on improving strength, since you seem to have improved on your movement efficiency in jumping.

nice job vag. you seem to have crossed a plateau.

Thanks man, you're very right. It's just 1'' or 2'' , but they make all the difference. Also the fact that it is RVJ and not dropsteps makes that improvement dunk-applicable. Explanation:
i've been getting 33-34'' dropsteps for ~3 months now but those are much more 'armswing powered' jumps , with the ball in hands they are much lower. RVJs are much more reactive though, so the heights with the ball in hands are almost the same.
So 34'' no ball dropstep ~= 32'' with ball , no dunk.
34'' no ball RVJ = ~33'' with ball, dunk!

Now you need to keep on improving strength, since you seem to have improved on your movement efficiency in jumping.

True.
Seems like cut was successful , lost 10-15lbs managing to maintain much strength with weighted pistols 2xweek.
Im sure i lost some muscle too but relative strength definitely improved as shown by recent jumping performance.
Finally got that huge 35'' RVJ PR while dropstep and SVJ are also at PR levels (both 0.5'' to 1'' below).
I am starting to feel more reactive than powerful in my jumps though, need to get back to squatting.

30 July 2011

Bodyweight@session : ~186,  :personal-record:
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

10 ME jumps / dunks session

SVJ = 29'' to 30''
1 step lead-ins : 32'' to 33''
4 steps RVJs : 33'' to 34''
Dunks : 0/10 , was impossible to palm the ball today so no chance.  :uhhhfacepalm:

Comments:
Felt once again very reactive and bouncy.
For the first time EVER limiting factor in a few jumps was floor grip , runup speed improved so much!
Very happy to get 10'8''/33'' rather easy in DLRVJs.

Bonus pic , jump of the day:



Red circle = wrist bone ( 9'' below fingertip ) at rim with some good hand angle, 35'' officialy approved?

Back in the forum , still on holidays.
Somehow i added 2-3 lbs in 10 days but waist/height calculator AND bodyfat measuring scale indicate a 0.5% bodyfat percentage reduction. Weirdness! Probably water retention masking some slight weight loss?
Diet was awesome , no workouts at all , lots of walking and swimming.
Evaluation tests soon...

I was right , it was water , bodyweight is down 5 lbs in 2 days ( 2 lbs lower from holidays start ).

11 August 2011

Bodyweight@session : ~184,  :personal-record:
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none

-10 minutes dynamic warmup

-30 minutes light joking

-10 x ME jumps
Ghetto style , backyard jumps for 10'9'' object. Mixed dropsteps / 1 step / 2 steps DLRVJs , no room for full runups.
Feeling extremely light and bouncy. All jumps above 32'', 33'' rather easy.
Got a couple of 10'9'' touches with 7'10'' reach ( flat waffles ) , that would be 35''
WTF , awesomeness, never saw that coming!!!
