Well I guess its technically week 5 but I will give you an update and some highlights from week 4. I'm continuing to make progress on my lifts.
Squat 5x285- On my last couple of reps my form really started breaking down so I'm going to stay around this weight for a week or two to make sure my form is solid
My shoulder is feeling much better and stronger, I'm looking forward to starting back on the using a barbell instead of the dumbbells and seeing how that goes and I will probably start doing flat bench again next week.
So last week after my city league game on Tuesday I tried to grab the rim with two hands and I got it (barely, just enough to hold on with both hands)! So I feel like I'm definitely making progress. I wish I had it on video. I hope to get a good jumping video posted this week.
But, the best part about it, was that it was after my game, I wasn't feeling particularly explosive and some guy gave me a pretty good charlie horse during the game. So what I'm saying is I think I could have done better.
Good stuff man! I'm like 30# heavier and I just PR'd at 295x5 on back squat, so I'm very impressed! Looks like there are more 30somethings that want to dunk than I thought. WE'RE NOT ALONE!!!
ReplyDeleteYa it's great to see others putting in the time and effort. It definitely provides motivation. Thanks for the props and good luck to you!!!
DeleteHey Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteIs this your first time hanging on the rim with 2 hands? Awesome!
First time in about 10 years. I'd say that I'm just about where I was in my prime at around age 22-23.
DeleteNICE! Keep pushing. You're making great progress if you're grabbing with both hands.
ReplyDeleteThanks man. I've done it a few times now on different rims so hopefully I can get a progress video out soon.
DeleteWhere are the other posts sir?
