Saturday 15th March - Micro Cycle 7 - Week 4 - Day 2
Bodyweight = 88.7kg 195lbs in shorts and t-shirt
down another pound, things are looking good here. Felt full and carb loaded too
Energy level was much better today - I canned the fruit and meat I normally eat before, and had some veges and fresh raw nuts - macadamias, ones you have to crack the shell. Steady energy and blood sugar levels for hours after the meal
Outdoor BBall Complex - one with 8 foot rims at the back
1.25 hours total
started with shooting and easy 2 handed dunks on the 8 foot rims .
Then plenty of jumping.
A few standing, one step and lots of running 2 legged jumps with 40 secs rest between each attempt
At the end I did - 1 min rest between sets
1) 2 sets x running 1 leg jumps, alternated with running 2 leg jump each rep - 3 reps each with a reset
2) standing 2 hand jump x 5 with a brief reset
3) standing 1 hand jump x 5 with a brief reset
these stuff got me huffing and puffing!
Been a while since I got this much jumping volume in.
I didn't do that much shooting today as my upper body felt tired and weak from my part-time job.
Jumps felt much better this week, a lot more solid and stronger. I'm not as fresh as last week due to the heavy deadlifts and such, but steady blood sugar made for a more productive session.
Jump is back up a bit, but still 2 inches lower than my best a few weeks back. It should higher now with the drop in bodyweight, but poor sleep and diet is killing my hops I guess
My one legged running jump is up a lot though, 4 inches higher. It's now 6 inches lower than my 2 legged jump.
Form felt good and my heels never touch the ground while doing them, the Nike Free 5.0 Trainers sorta force that. But my feet and shin don't complain and I feel solid and stiff, nice powerful sharp jolt. Feet and lower legs much stronger these days
