Wow. Didn't even post last week. Luckily, i haven't skimped on my workouts.
The good news is I think I've added 2" to my vert! In my unofficial backyard rim, I grabbed just below my knuckle! Looks like I've broken out of my 4 month plateau of misery --- by the way, I measure my vert by 1) measure my standing vertical reach, then 2) measure how far down my hand the rim gets on my jump 3) add that amount over 10' of the hoop, and 4) the difference of my standing reach to my leaping reach is my vert....
MAJOR NOTE: I have unofficially changed from a 1 foot leap to a 2 foot leap. After going crazy on the 9' hoop, my leaping left leg was shot and it took weeks to fully recover. In the meantime, i kept 2 foot jumping, and had to admit to myself i'm not a "light" jumper, which 1 footers need to be. So I'll still try some 1 foot leaps, but will now focus on 2 feet.
Last week was awesome in the weight room as well, as I did 2 sets of squat at 205. And I boosted deadlift up to 265. I'm now starting Phase3 of the novice workout, and it calls for a little lighter weight with more sets, so i won't be pushing my limits of max strength for 3 weeks.
I have no choice but to shoot video this weekend. Of course, by then, I'll be tired and have an off day and who knows what.
