Hi All,
Good news! I got some gains over the last week. They are summarised below with my exercise description following after. (I also gained some sore legs but I think it's part of the process this early on
)
Standing vert: Week 0 = 20', Week 1 (this week) = 24'!!
Running vert: Week 0 = 24', Week 1 (this week) = 25'
So really it's just an extra inch when running, but having the extra four inches of standing vertical is awesome. I noticed a little extra speed around the court because of just having stronger legs, and for some reason my shooting improved although that could have just been a lucky night (Yeah baby, 12 points in 3 minutes of court time at one stage!)
In terms of training, I only did strength work so far which might explain why my running vertical didn't go up the much (i.e. I probably need to start plyometric work as well). So only my strength has increased over the last week. These strength gains could just be related to loading on creatine.
I've also started officially on VJB novice weights and plyos. Yes it's official... I called ESPN to tell them about my new change in training, but they didn't seem to announce it on TV yet
LOL
Anyway, I appreciate this forum guys. Keep posting up your results because when I read them it motivates my to try and get better each week as well. I've now got to gain 15' more inches before I can dunk, so there will be plenty more posts from me.
Peace out,
Mig
