My athletic training journal (WSFSB+VJB)

What do you attribute it to that it failed for yourself? What did your auxilary lifts look like? (mines usually dbell variation back superset and shrugs with sometimes bi tri finish)

im already a advice athlete my bp at the time was 385+ and didnt need all the heavy iso etc work, just keep KISS.

Shock method session 1+SE lower

good warmup

Depth jumps(25 inch height)- 4x10, done on fieldturf touching fieldgoal post, felt pretty good on these and touched the field goal post nearly everytime, rested 30 seconds between reps and 6 mins between sets, will continue to do the jumps on turf, sometimes using a vertec, once and awhile will do it at the basketball rim, will do the first 3 sessions at 25 while the last 7 sessions at 30 inch drop height.

Box Squat(at parallel)- 2x3 275

Single leg squat- 3x6 50’s

Glute/Ham Raise- 3x8 BW
Hanging 1 leg calf raises- 3x6 65’s

protein shake and PNF stretch after workout

did some basketball drilling/playing, trying not to do any all out high intense jumping ect and tried to work on quality moves and shots

did a little more stretching and some foam roll before bed

found this pretty sweet training/bball video on youtube- shows the value of hard work and doing the right things!

he gets on the ground pretty fast…

most impressive is the 46" single leg jump with each leg. note that he does olympic lifts too…

why u mention the ol?

Defranco doesn’t like ol.

But he has them in the 6wk vert program on his site.

He looks like a white Derrick Rose. (Of course that’s in a gym all by himself :wink: )

I remember I saw a vid of him a while doing some crazy box jumps so i decided to look him up to see what he is doing collegiately and the stats said he barely played and didn’t do much when he did. A sick athlete though.

thats too bad.

Tempo/low day

quick warmup

tempo- 1200 yards abs in between- same as last week- two 200’s 8 100’s(yards) 40 sec break after 100’s, 70 sec break after 200’s, did crunches, situps, cris cross crunches in between(varied every break) made it a little tougher, will do this workout for 2 more weeks after this then keep the volume the same but lower the rest period

also did some core work/PNF/stat dribble work at night

feel a little sore, probally from the single leg squats yesturday, hopefully feel fresh tommorow and even fresher friday

Sprints+upper weights(KB workout 3) (6/12)

good quick warmup

10 yard sprints- 4 sprints, 1.78 range
20 yard sprints- 2 sprints, upper two range
40 yard - did one rep, got 4.89 HH, not bad for being a little sore from the monday lift and not doing much sprinting, good sign is no aches/pains in knee or joints from shock method

Bench- 205x8, 220x6, 265x3(failed 4th and 5th)

Dbell floor press- 100’s 3x8

Seated Row- 200lbs 3x8
Face Pull- 100lbs 3x8

dbbell shrugs- 3x15 80’s
Hammer curls- 3x10(per arm) 35’s

did some bball drilling by myself

what is your PR for 4? Why so many at 265?

its ur third workout and you are missing reps, be careful with this bp workout. just wait till you hit those heavy iso and test days.

yea, i guess after another day if you do not get the required amount of reps, you recalculate your 1 rep max based off of that and lower that weight(or higher if you get over the required reps), so im not too worried, especially since i have done everyother workout and should do the next one with ease too…not used to the 6+ reps with higher percentages maybe?

like i said earlier i will be following this experiment. :slight_smile:

Shock+Ball

warmup(need to remember to do longer harder one monday)

Depth jumps- 2x10 25 inch drop, at rim(indoor), was not touching the rim

One leg “reactive” depth jumps- 4 jumps(2 per leg), 9 inch box, touching back board on rebound

played some 2 on 2, did not do that good or feel that explosive but this can be expected when my body is not used to all the depth jumping…

will most likely do some submaximal upper/lower weight work/tempo tommorow.

Had a 3 on 3 tourney, got 3rd but played against pretty solid competition, some former and current college players(D3 and D2), got to start playing more with this kind of compeition and playing often, Gotta remember that I am not a track athlete i am a basketball player and I just gotta BALL

Shock method+SE upper/lower

decent warmup

Depth jumps- 3x10, 25 inch box, at vertec, here are some of my PR’s, rep 7 got 9 11, rep 11 got 9 11, rep 12 nipped 10, rep 20 hit 9 11, rep 24 nipped 10 feet, rep 26 hit 10, rep 27 hit 10 feet, reps 28 and 29 hit 9 11, rep 30 hit 9 11.5

Single leg reactive depth jumps- 6 total(3 per leg) 9 inch box

Bench- 235x5, 265x2, 275x1

Box Squat- 3x3 295

Single Leg Squats- 3x6 60’s

Dbell Bench - 3x10 85’s
Single leg hanging calf raises- 3x6 75’s

Good mornings- 3x10 135lbs

Seems like you might be over-doing the leg work considering 30 depth jumps, 6 single leg depth jumps and three leg exercises-specifically three types of squats. Might be better to work another area and delete perhaps 1 maybe 2 leg exercises.
