Week 27

I got in most of my training this week. I did better with stetching and nutrition. Here is a video of me jumping inbetween pick-up games during the week. I didn't get my best jump on video, but these were decent attempts. In this video, it looks like I'm holding back and not really exploding through my jumps. I also look tired. 



  • Standing vertical: No change. Still frustrated about this.
  • One-step vertical: I got my entire hand over the rim; about a 29 inch vertical.
  • Dunk attempts: Stuffed by the rim and slammed it into the back of the rim. No success.
  • Squats: 305 pounds for sets of 5,4,3,3 reps. I was way tired, but I was still able to explode through the reps.
  • Bench press: 
    • Day 1 - 175 pounds for 4 sets of 9 reps.
    • Day 2 - 190 pounds for 5 sets of 7 reps
  • Barbell Rows: 200 pounds for 2 sets of 5 reps. I'm taking it easier with this lift while I really focus on my bench.
  • Behind-the-neck Press: 95 pounds for 2 sets of 5 reps. Again, this week I'm using this as a flexibility exercise.

  1. Nice man! You are really close. I predict next week you get a dunk.

    1. have you tried any dunk attempts with a full approach? seems like it would give you another couple inches easy and a clean dunk.
