*Got a Squat 5RM PR the other day!!  Testing Bench Wed, Deadlift and Press on Fri, so hopefully more PRs to come!!!  Cue the dancing pepper!

I miss counted the other day, and somehow got off a day. I think I forgot to log a rest day or something, whatevs.

23 Jan 13

Hi Hang Power Snatch
3 x 5 - 45, 95, 115

Bench
6 x 3 - 205
1 x AMRAP - 205 (5)

Just wasn't feeling very good, and didn't have much energy. I am going to try and get a WOD in at lunch but that will be weather dependent. And laziness dependent!

24 Jan 13

Basketball day!!! Played 4 full court games, didn't win one! It was still fun. I had one oop attempt before I left, it was a good toss, timed it well, was plenty high, but I just came up right underneath it instead from behind it. So close.....

25 Jan 13

Hi Hang Power Clean
5 x 5 - 135, 135, 145, 145, 155
Felt pretty good. Could have done more, but not much more. Getting there.

Deadlift
8 x 3 - 155, 225, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255
1 x amrap - 255 (5)
Not bad. Maintained form throughout, back was sore but not terrible.

26 Jan 13

Press
6 x 3 - 150
1 x Amrap - 150 (5)
Felt heavy but pretty good. 

WOD
10, 9, 8, .... 1
Pullups
Ring Pushups
7:33
Did them all unbroken which was my goal. Still need to work on my METCON ability, and my grip was slipping bad after the set of 8. Anyhow, good stuff.

27 Jan 13

Rest Day. Played with the fam at the park for a while. Beautiful day.

28 Jan 13

Hang Squat Clean
5 x 3 - 45, 95, 115, 135, 155
Felt pretty good, a little wobbly on the last rep but all the others felt good, and had good depth in the front squat.

Squat
3 x 5 - 155, 225, 250
5 x 3 - 260
Weight felt good, could definitely tell when my core would slip cause my back would let me know. Not pain, just discomfort. Anyhow, it was actually a pretty good cue.

29 Jan 13

Warmup
3 rds of 10 ea
Situps
Pushups
Squats

Strength
Cable High Pulls
5 x 5 - 55#
I am at a hotel so I had to use their cable machine. Actually pretty versatile little thing.

WOD
5 rds for time of:
.25 mi run
10 Pullups
15 Squats
15 min 
My timing is a little off, I was working out with a coworker and had to stop the timer after the first round and restart it, so I'm giving myself 15 min.

Not bad for a hotel workout.

31 Jan 13

Did a typical universal cable machine type workout.

Forward Press
5 x 12 - heavish

High Pulls
5 x 10 - heavish

Circuit
4 x 10 ea
Tricep pushdown
Pullups
Wtd Crunches

Not bad.

1 - 3 Feb 13

Nothing. Traveling and resting and lazy, but whatever.

4 Feb 13

Snatch - 3 Position
7 x 1 - 45, 65, 95, 105, 105, 115, 115
Felt pretty heavy by the end. Not too bad though.

3 x 185
2 x 225
1 x 240
1 x 255
1 x 275
5 x 295 PR!!! 

Last couple of days...

21 Jan 13

Basketball Day!!! Had fun, a little stiff from squats, but still fun. i was jumping ok, not great but ok. And the tile floor is really tough to jump off of.

19 Jan 13

Rest Day

20 Jan 13
Juggernaut 2.0 3s Wave - Final Wave!!!!

C&J
5 x 1 - 155, R=60s
5 x 1 - 175, R=60s
8 x 1 - 145, R=30s
Felt pretty good. Actually missed one rep because I caught it really far forward, even though I was deep I didn't bring it to my chest. Anyhow, it's amazing how easy 145 was after 175.

Squat
5 x 145
5 x 225
6 x 3 x 240
1 x 3+2 x 240
Felt pretty good. Depth was decent and I felt strong. I could have done more but didn't want to risk it.

Good workout. 100th workout in my Garage Gym!!! (Since I started checking in on FB anyways) So, 4 times a week "ish", equals 25 weeks. And I've missed a few weeks due to travelling. Pretty cool.

18 Jan 13

Finally back home. Finished out 5s Wave.

Press
5 x 45
5 x 95
3 x 115
3 x 135
3 x 140
3 x 150
8 x 155

Deadlift
5 x 165
3 x 195
2 x 225
1 x 240
1 x 260
8 x 275

Not bad I guess. Just takes a while on this many sets. I tried to rest a lot in order to be good for my last set. Seemed to help.

16-17 Jan 13

No workouts. Still in New Orleans with no gym, and terrible weather.

15 Jan 13

Ran about 2.5 miles through New Orleans, in the rain and it was about 40 degrees. Not a bad run, just not really fun.

14 Jan 13

Rest. It was cold and nasty and I was in New Orleans on business all week.

The latest, so close to throwing it down!

10 Jan 13

Basketball day!!! Played 4 games and only won one game. Didn't shoot that great but got a good sweat going. Pretty fun.

11 Jan 13

C&J Complex
EMOM for 7 min
1 Power Clean + 1 Front Squat + 1 Push Jerk
135, 135, 145, 145, 155, 155, 175
Almost missed the last power clean cause I wasn't focusing on my lift. I got it.

Deadlift
5 x 205
5 x 235
3 x 5 x 250
1 x 8 x 250
Felt good. Tried to really brace my abs on each lift. I think it helped with my back soreness. Going to hit a WOD this evening when I get to Hurlburt.

11 Jan 13

Well I didn't do a WOD but I did play basketball for about an hour. I warmed up with some DUs, got about 25 in a row which is a PR for me. I am jumping a lot higher than ever before. I think it's obvious that increased strength leads to increase jumping. After I finish this cycle of strength I will transition into an olympic focus with strength maintenance and add box jumps.

12 Jan 13

1 Hang Power Snatch + 5 OHS
45, 95, 105, 115, 125
I really need to work on OHS. My shoulder stability is terrible.

Press
5 x 125
5 x 135
4 x 5 x 145
Not bad. Didn't push too hard.

I planned on doing another WOD but I got sucked into another basketball game. Played pretty good and had several good jumps. I'm getting over the rim pretty easily. I know I can put down a good oop.

13 Jan 13

No olympic lifts today. I'm not going to be able to lift heavy the rest of this week, so I need to do Squat and Bench today.

Squat
5 x 45
5 x 135
5 x 155
5 x 185
3 x 215
2 x 230
1 x 245
8 x 260
Felt pretty good. My foot has been pretty sore for the last few days, not sure why, but I'm going to work some flexibility and mobility this week.

Bench
5 x 135
5 x 155
3 x 185
3 x 195
3 x 210
8 x 220
Probably could have done 10, but held back a bit.

Still Working

9 Jan 13

Snatch
1 Power Snatch + 1 OHS
EMOM for 7 minutes
95-95-105-105-115-115-135
I really need to practice OHS, man I feel uneasy in the hole. Off balance and unstable.

Bench
5 x 135
5 x 175
5 x 5 x 195
Not bad, felt good just a lack of motivation. Another lack luster morning, seems to be a rash of those. I will do a WOD at lunch if I can.

8 Jan 13

Basketball Day!!! Well my normal group didn't show up so I only got to play in two games at the other gym. It was fun, and I played ok, I just have to take it pretty easy with those guys cause they don't even have one person that can keep up with me. Not trying to sound too conceited but my group has a couple of guys that are as in as good shape as I am, so I can go as hard as I want. But this other group has a couple of decent shooters, but no real players, at least not for a long time. Still fun, and a bunch of nice people.

7 Jan 13 Cont.

Lunchtime WOD

Warmup
Double Unders
5 x 15
Got the last one unbroken! I love my new jump rope!

Helen - Scaled
3 rds
400 m run
21 KBS - 30#
12 Pullups
10:45
Whew!!! Cut 4 min off my previous time. Granted I used a lighter KB but i never had problems with those before so I dont think it would have slowed me down that much. Good lunch workout.

7 Jan 13

Juggernaut 2.0 - 5s Wave - Squat Day

C&J
3 x 1 - 45#
2 x 1 - 150#
2 x 1 - 170#
3 x 1 - 180#
8 x 1 - 135#
It's amazing how light 135 felt, after 180. I was able to catch 180 really high, I know that's sort of cheating but it felt good to just sling it up!

Squat
5 x 135#
5 x 205#
5 x 225#
4 x 5 x 235#
ah, not my best performance but I'll take it.

I've got to figure out a better way to manage my time in the morning. I finished right at 6 which left me no time for assistance or conditioning.

6 Jan 13

Was supposed to have basketball practice with my team, but the wife veto'd that so I just stayed home.

5 Jan 13

Juggernaut 2.0 - 5s Wave - Press Day

Hang Power Snatch
EMOM 10 x 2 - 115#
Felt heavy by the end, but not bad. Tried to focus on not spreading my feet after the jump/pull and bending my knees. I really to start pulling from the floor and working on my OHS.

Press
4 x 5 - 140
1 x AMRAP - 140 (10)
Not bad, first sets felt heavy but I was cranking on the last one.

Once again, I just didn't do anything else. This is where going to a box would really help me. You can't just punk out when everyone else is there working hard. I need to find a way to get motivated in the mornings. I have problem doing my Oly lifts and main lifts, but I can't seem to do anything else. I take forever between sets, and warming up, but I think that's my excuse to not do anything else that I "run out of time".

4 Jan 13

Juggernaut 2.0 - 5s Wave - Deadlift Day

Hang Power C&J
12 min to est. 1RM
45, 95, 135, 155, 165, 175, 190 - PR 
That is a PR for all types of C&J. I know I can do 205 if I can just get under it. 1 x BW here I come!

Deadlift
4 x 5 - 225
1 x AMRAP - 225 (8)
First sets felt heavy, but the last one felt easy. Could have gone to 12 but didn't want to push it. Back is still a little testy, but hurts more in dynamic movements.

Happy New Year!!! Almost a month's worth of updates...

3 Jan 13

Basketball Day!!! Played several games and had a good time. I played pretty good. Still slow on my hands but I'm passing better, still a little unfocused. I also need to practice playing better defense. Also, I was super close to dunking after we finished playing. I had one of the guys throw me an oop and after 4 horrible tosses, he threw a good one and I just miss timed it a little bit. I think I'll get it on Tuesday!

2 Jan 13

Juggernaut 2.0 - 5s Wave - Bench Day 

Hang Power Snatch
12 min to establish 1RM
45, 65, 85, 95, 115, 125, 135 - PR 
Only 10 lbs off my Snatch 1RM. And I didn't press it at all, just threw it clear over my head. I know I'm getting stronger, if I could just do a better job of dropping under the bar I think I would be able to do quite a bit more.

Bench

4 x 5 - 165
1 x 12 - 165
Seemed pretty light, but whatever.

WOD
15-12-9
Hang Power Cleans – 135

Ring Dips
6:34

My heart was seriously about to explode on the first set. Not sure why but man, I got through about 8 power cleans and my heart was beating so fast I almost puked. After I calmed down, it wasn't so bad but I'm going to have to do some research on what the deal is.

1 Jan 13

So, it's a new year. Hopefully I can be a better husband, father, brother, son, and friend than I was last year. I would also like plenty of other things, but they are irrelevant when compared with the first two.

Juggernaut 2.0 - 5s Wave - Squat Day 
First workout of the year!!!

C&J
Warmup- 45#, 135#
5 x 1 - 150#
3 x 1 - 165#
2 x 1 - 175#
8 x 1 - 135#
Rest=60s
This took a really long time. I started getting a little tired and started just power cleaning it, but on the last few I really focused on going deep into my front squat. I know I did 165 all the way down cause I almost rolled backwards once.

Squat
5 x 5 - 225#
1 x 10 - 225#
Felt pretty good, questionable depth on some, but most were good. It was after 6 when I got done with my squats so I decided to skip the WOD I had planned. Good thing too cause my daughter woke up at like 615 ready to play!

31 Dec 12

Basketball!!! Normally we play on Tuesday, but since that is New Year's Day the Y is closed and no one would show up anyhow. It was fun. We played 3 games of 3 on 3.

30 Dec 12

My birthday!!! Also a rest day, but my parents babysat for us and me and they wifey went to see the Hobbit. It was really good. I'm excited for the next two to come out!

29 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 - 8s Wave - Press Day

Snatch
20 min to get a 1RM
45, 65, 95, 115, 135, 145 - PR

Press
5 x 45
5 x 85
3 x 105
2 x 115
2 x 125
12 x 130
Felt pretty easy.

9 Wall Ball - 9# ball
10 Pullups
11 Pushups
12 Front Squats - 115#

7:13

I scaled it back a lot, but it was still a smoker. I can't imagine doing it as RX'd. I was supposed to use more weight, and do 1, then 1-2, then 1-3, etc.  Yeah, NO WAY!

Just did some checking, the last time I can find that I did JT was on May 25th, 2010. I did it in 20:23!!!I'm sure my range of motion was equally bad on that one, so that is one hell of an improvement.

28 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 - 8s Wave - Deadlift Day

2 Hang Power Cleans + 1 Split Jerk
6 x 2 - 135# EMOM
I used my new bumpers. The weight was good, and I was getting some good velocity.

Deadlift
5 x 135
5 x 160
3 x 190
2 x 225
10 x 250
Felt heavy at first but once I got going it wasn't bad. Probably could have gotten 12, but decided 10 was plenty.

Stepups
3 x 10 - 85# on a 20" box
I started using a 24" box and almost fell over when I caught my two on the edge! Then I used the 20".

Pretty good workout. Still resting too much and need to get more motivated in the mornings.

27 Dec 12

Bench
5 x 45
5 x 135
5 x 155
3 x 175
3 x 195
10 x 200
I was happy with 10, but it was getting pretty heavy.

WOD
"JT"
21-15-9
HSPU
Ring Dips
Pushups
7:38

UGH!! My range of motion was pathetic! I mean it was like barely half way down. Anyhow, whatever. I'm ready to use my jump rope and bumpers tomorrow!

25 & 26 Dec 12

Nothing! It's Christmas! I got a pair of 45# bumper weights from my inlaws and a speed rope from my wife! It's on like donkey kong!

24 Dec 12

Still not feeling 100% with my back and my allergies are still kicking my butt. Pretty good little workout in spite of it.

Box Jumps
5 x 2 @ 24" Box
Easy, need a higher box

Hang Squat Cleans
3 x 45#
Still just working range of motion. Felt pretty good, but my back is still so tight.

Squats
5 x 45
5 x 135
5 x 155
3 x 175
2 x 205
1 x 225
10 x 235
Not bad.

23 Dec 12

Rest Day.

22 Dec 12

I was working on my daughters Christmas present for a long time and was only able to do the following:

Press
5 x 45
5 x 95
5 x 105
8 x 115
8 x 115
8+4 x 115
Felt pretty easy. I know I can do a lot more.

21 Dec 12

Had a terrible headache when I woke up, so I decided to take the day off.

20 Dec 12

Basketball Day!!! I played ok. Didn't push it too hard. Just got in a really good sweat. Speaking of sweat, our gym's floor slab was sweating so bad that half the gym was soaked! I'm getting really tired of that gym.

19 Dec 12

Super Early Workout!!! Had to start at 430am because I had to meet my ride at 6 to go diving all day.

Juggernaut 2.0 8s Wave - Week 2 - Bench Day

Snatch
3 x 5 - 45
Just wanted to get my ROM back. Still nursing my ankle a bit. It's pretty achey in the morning so I wanted to try some light weight this week on the more dynamic movements.

Bench
3 x 5 - 45, 150, 170
2 x 8 - 180
1 x 8+4 - 180
Felt good. Pretty easy to get 12, probably could have gotten 15 but just got bored.

WOD
5 x 5 x 5
5 Rds of:
5 OH Press
5 High Pulls
5 Curls
5 Tricep Press
5 Bent over rows
All with 45# bar, and never setting the bar down.
4:53

My forearms were on fire about round 4. I mean, I had like some weird disorder afterward where my hands wouldn't work right. It was hard to use the door knob. 

Oh, I also had to dive a 3/4 mi long bridge and it was about 50 degrees outside and the water temp was about 58. Not too mention I was scraping oysters and growth off of 18" square concrete piles while underwater. I was in the water for over 2 hours, man I was smoked after that one!

18 Dec 12

Basketball Day!!! I played with the other group this morning. It is always fun playing with them and their gym is much better than ours. Except they have a tile floor and it is hard and slick, not good for jumping at all. Our floor is that hard rubber tiles, a little better on the knees but also pretty crappy for jumping. I played pretty good, and ran hard.

17 Dec 12

C&J
3 x 5 - 45
I just wanted to start getting some range of motion back in my ankle. It was pretty tender with this light weight so I didn't want to push it.

Squat
5 - 135
5 - 175
5 - 200
8 - 215
8 - 215
8+2 - 215
Not a spectacular performance, but whatever. 

GHR
3 x 10
Felt good about these. Starting to really focus on my hamstrings while pulling, and using less arms to spot myself.

I considered an additional WOD but just didn't follow through. I need to find some motivation somewhere. I feel like I'm just going through the motions everyday, instead of pushing myself to be better. I know you can't go all out everyday, but my lackluster days should be the minority, not the norm!

16 Dec 12

Rest day. How can so much bad stuff happen in one week? My cousin was found dead, my bosses uncle died, the CT shooting, and I just found out that my wife's old boss (a pretty close friend) was in a car accident Friday night and his wife was killed and he has a broken neck! What is going on?

15 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 8s Wave - Week 1 - Press Day

Press
1 x 5 - 45
4 x 8 - 105
1 x 8+7 - 105
Felt pretty light, but I guess it's supposed to at this point. 

WOD
"Lord of the Rings" (I just made that up!)
10,9,8,...., 1
Ring Dips
Ring Pullups
Ring Pushups

I got through them all, but of course didn't start my timer. Pretty good stuff, just a pain to put the rings up and down every time.

Pretty good workout. Anyhow, I can tell I'm getting bigger. My shirts are a lot tighter, I've put on a few pounds, but my pants are fitting a little tighter too. Well, gotta put on some fat to add muscle I suppose.

14 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 8s Wave - Week 1 - Deadlift Day

Deadlift
1 x 5 - 45
1 x 5 - 135
4 x 8 - 205
1 x 8+4 - 205
Felt good. Ankle felt fine.

Step ups
3 x 10 - 45# on 20" box
These really get my heart going. I definitely need to focus on some iso lateral stuff.

Situps/K2E
3 rds of 
20 situps
10 K2E
I actually caught a cramp in my abs on the third set of situps. And holy crap! I suck so bad at K2E.

I decided to forgo the jumping and oly lifting which was probably smart. I'll get back to that next week.

13 Dec 12

Basketball Day!!! I actually felt really good and played 3 games of 4 on 4 full court. I played ok, shot really good one game, really bad one game, and ok in one, so we'll say pretty good overall. I'm surprised that my ankle didn't bother me that much, granted I didn't drive too much and was pretty selective about when I jumped. Anyhow, I wore a brace but I'm not sure how much it helped. 

12 Dec 12

So I had one of the most disappointing workouts I've had in a long time. I just felt lazy. I did my (primary lift) Bench, but was less than stellar. I did 10 HSPU and called it. yeah, my ankle hurts but I think I am just being a wuss. UGH!!!!

Bench
4 x 8 - 170
1 x 8+4 - 170
Whatevs...

Doh!

11 Dec 12

Basketball day! We played 3 games of 4 on 4. It was pretty fun, but I rolled my ankle pretty hard in the second game. It's pretty swollen and stiff, but doesn't hurt that bad. I think all my strength and mobility work I've been doing really helps my recovery. Gonna take it easy the rest of the week. No Oly lifts, and no plyos but still gonna deadlift and do my assistance work.

Here's a look:

Well, I've been slack on updating.  I have supplemented my weight training with lunch time basketball workouts.  They are pretty fun, sprints, shooting, ball handling, etc.  I also had some dunk attempts, check it out:

These were on the 10' goal.  I suck at jumping with the ball and I need to practice that a lot more.

This goal is about 9'6".  I was putting it down pretty easy on this goal.

29 Nov 12

Basketball Day!!! We had 8 and got 3 or 4 games in. It was fun. I didn't play great and was a little sluggish but it was still fun.

30 Nov 12

Power Clean + Jerk

6 x 2 - 155 EMOM

This weight was perfect. It was tough, but I could still move it fast and clean.

Deadlift

5 x 155

5 x 175

5 x 195

10 x 215

10 x 215

10+5 x 215

Big volume on deadlift just saps the energy out of me. I also planned some assistance exercise, and guess what I didn't do!!! UGH! Why do I suck at those!?!?

Side note, I'm putting a program together for my Dad who is 61. so this morning i made some videos of stuff that he will be doing, so that took some time. However, that does not excuse my not doing my assistance work.

1 Dec 12

Snatch

6 x 2 EMOM - 115

Good weight. I could throw it hard, but not lose much speed.

Press

5 x 90

5 x 105

10 x 110

10 x 110

10+5 x 110

Upper Assistance

3 rds of 10 ea

Pullups

Cable Flyes

Then I had to do PT with my reserve unit. Which is kind of a joke, so I got up early and got a workout in. We did 50 pushups, 50 situps, and a 2 mile run. Anyhow.

2 Dec 12

Rest day.

3 Dec 12

Wtd Box Jumps

24" Box - Work up to 1RM

10#, 25#, 35#, 45#

The last one was tough, but not bad.

Hang C&J

3 x 5 - 125, 135, 140

Did full range of motion front squats. Those are tough, but good for me.

Squats

5 x 140

3 x 170

1 x 200

12 x 215

GHR

1 x 10

4 Dec 12

Basketball Day!!! Got to play 4 games of full court 5 on 5 this morning! Only won one game! I'm just playing slowly. I need to put some time in on the court before our season starts up next month. I think I will start working out at lunch a couple of times a week before the season starts. I'll put together a plan that includes ball handling, shooting, and conditioning drills that take about 45 min total (so I can have time to get back to work!). I'll start tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I only tried to grab the rim once today, at the end, and easily hang with two hands. I'm also getting a lot more rebounds and blocks so I can tell I'm more explosive. Just need to get a little more!

Week 3 of Juggernaut 2.0 10's Wave

Hang Power Snatch

3 x 5 - 100, 105, 110

Felt pretty good. I am able to throw it high every time. Time to start adding more weight!

Bench

5 - 105

5 - 135

3 - 155

3 - 175

12 - 190

Felt good about that, maybe could have gotten one or two more but decided not to push it to failure.

Ring Dips

3 x AMRAP

10/10/10

Double digits every time! Boo yah! 

Once again, ran out of time to complete my WOD. I've got to get more motivated when I start off. I'm just dragging between exercises and that is wasting a ton of time.

Basketball Lunch Workout

Form Shooting

40 Shots - Controlled, and focus on form. Progressively move out.

Made most of them.

Figure 8 Conditioning

4 x 30s on/ 30s off - Basically AMRAP 30 yd sprints.

7/7/6.5/6.25

Busted my butt once, had to do it on grass cause the court was wet and slick. I think I can do better, but I don't know about getting to 8 reps.

Free Throws Rd 1

8/10

Choked on one shot, just stopped focusing.

Broad Jumps

1 x 5

9', 9', 9'-4", 9'-6", 9'-3"

Didn't have a tape, but stepped it off. This is about right.

Lane Slides

3 x 30s on/ 30s off - Defensive slide across the lane AMRAP

20/20/20

Sliding a bit, but ran out of steam after about 15 or so.

Free Throws 2

9/10

Perimeter Shooting off the pass

16/30

Not bad, first time on this court.

Free Throws 3

9/10

Ran out of time, plus it was wet, and I had never done this before so I was moving a little slow from exercise to exercise. I had 5 more things planned to do, but I see now that my plan was way too ambitious. I will split my two workouts into 3 and do a different one M/W/F. Got a good sweat going and got in a lot of shooting, even if the conditions were less than ideal.

6 Dec 12

Basketball Day!!! Played with my "other" group. It was fun, we played several games of 4 on 4 full court. Played pretty well. I need to start pushing myself harder during these games so I can get in better game shape. It was a lot of fun though.

7 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 10s Wave

Hang Power C&J

6 x 2 - 145 EMOM

Good weight. Felt heavy at first, but got into later.

Deadlift

5 x 145

5 x 170

3 x 190

3 x 225

12 x 235

I was shooting for 12 so I'm happy. Probably could have gotten a few more, but I'm glad I didn't. My back would be killing me if I pushed it further.

Once again, I skipped my assistance work. ugh, not sure why I always bail on them but I just do. I need to do a better job of that.

Lunch BBall Workout

Agility Ladder

3 Rds

Good warmup. Not convinced on these yet, but I'll give them a go.

Fast Break Jumpers/Layups

10 Shots

I only made like 6! My heart was pounding, it really took a lot out of me! And this was a short court. I definitely need to work on running the floor!

Free Throws

10 Shots

7/10, ugh, whatever.

30 yd Sprints

6 Reps

3.44 s was my fastest. Not sure of the distance though, stepped it off and ran it in the grass. 

Spider Dribble

3 x 30 s

Pretty tough. Had a good sweat going and slowed down a lot by the end of each set.

Free Throws

10 Shots

3/10

WTC!!! I guess my arms were tired from the dribbling drill.

Perimeter Moves

30 Shots

15, I think. Lost count. Tried to mix it up. I did a lot of jab steps, pullups, crossovers, etc. I also got some good dunks in. The goal was about 9.5' I think. Didn't measure it. I had to work hard to dunk it, but by the end I got it with two hands off a drop step.

Free Throws

10 Shots

8/10

Wasn't too tired on these and was able to relax. 

Pretty good little workout. I was actually late getting back to work though so I need to time it better. Try to get out there earlier.

8 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 10s Wave

Snatch

6 x 2 - 120 EMOM

A little heavy but not bad. My back is pretty sore from deadlifting or so much jumping yesterday. Maybe a combination of both.

Press

5 x 85

5 x 100

3 x 115

15 x 125

Felt good about that, but my back is pretty tight. Tried rolling and stretching but I'm going to need a day or two to let it loosen up.

I once again punked out on my assistance work. In my defense, my back is pretty sore, and I don't need to push it. Still feel like a punk though.

9 Dec 12

Rest Day. Did 100 pushups, just messing around with my little girl.

10 Dec 12

Juggernaut 2.0 8s Wave - Week 1 - Day 1

Box Jumps

6 x 3 - 24" EMOM

Felt good, tried doing them while landing on straight legs. My back is still a little tight.

C&J

5 x 3 - 115, 120, 125

Threw it as high as possible. Easily catching in front rack.

Squat

4 x 8 - 195

1 x 8+4 - 195

Felt pretty good about these too. My back is still pretty tight and sore, but I think it's getting better.

GHR

3 x 10

Figured out a good way to do these (finally). I put some foam on my squat rack which helped with doing these a lot.

I think I figured out what is aggravating my lower back. I have been doing a lot of jumping (compared to normal) on concrete. Just need to allow for more recovery.

10 Dec 12 (Cont.)

Lunch BBall Workout

NBA Agility Test

5 reps - 11.35 s, 10.94 s, 10.87 s, 10.16 s, 10.22 s

Felt pretty good about these.  Not bad.

Free Throws

7/10

ahhh

Fast Break Layups/Jumpers

6/10

These are still pretty tough for some reason.

RVJ Check

3 attempts

Highest=30"

SVJ Check

3 Attempts

Highest=24"

Suicides

3 Reps - 23.88 s, 24.06 s, 24.12 s

The court I use is pretty short, probably only 65 ft long as opposed to a full 90 ft court, so take these times with a grain of salt.  Whew!  Those suck!

Free Throws

9/10

More like it!!!

I also did several dunks on the 9'6" throughout.  It was fun, and I'm hoping that will help me get over a 10' goal.
