I haven't posted in this thing forever, in fact I forgot about it.

My vertical continues to slowly but surely improve.  I've been focusing primarily on strength, and I can see the difference.

My squat is up to 315 for 5 reps.  My goal is to be at 385+ and then hit plyo hard to see how high I can get.

I'm still dirty dunking at the moment, so I probably need a solid 8-10 inches to really put it down with ease.

Back to it

After weeks of resting my toe, it seems to be good to go again.  It'll feel good to finally start working out again.  Who knew an injury to a toe could set me back so far.  I need to rest more this time around- I jumped for the first time in 3 weeks and got higher then I have in a couple years.

Still Grindin

Despite my lack of posts, I'm still working on my vertical.  My squat weight has gone up and I'm definitely increasing my explosiveness.  My big toe is badly sprained(hopefully not broken) so that will set me back for a few days.

Still Squatting

I haven't updated this in quite awhile, but I'm still working on my vertical fairly regularly.  My squat weight is consistently improving but my vertical is remaining the same.  More intense plyo work is in my future.

Marathon Ball

I finally started vertical training again last night.  This last weekend I played in a tournament- we made the championship game and as a result, we played 6 forty minute games in less then 24 hours.  Brutal.  The soreness was strong in this one.  Surprisingly, squats and deadlifts felt nice and smooth despite my body being worn down.  I'm hoping to really workout hard the rest of the week.

Ball Every Day

I haven't had a good chance to work out for a couple weeks now.  I'm playing basketball almost every night.  It's getting me in good shape, but not increasing my vertical.  There is a big 2 day tourney coming up, after that I'll try to get started with my weight training again.

Finally

After not having the time or the energy to workout, I finally got back on the grind.  My legs are incredibly sore, it's a good feeling.  I played ball Saturday morning, and couldn't miss for long stretches- it felt great.
