Hey guys,

I tested my vertical yesterday after doing another week of phase 1 novice strength training. I couldn't believe it but I gained an extra inch in vertical!!??

I'm now up to a standing vertical of 25'.

I couldn't believe it hey...
I complete the sets of squats 5 minutes before the test and I thought my legs would be smashed, but I still managed to get a good jump going. Maybe I'm not doing the squats with enough intensity, because I still had some energy left. I still go to failure and dropped the bar on one occasion, but I seem to recover pretty quickly in between sets. I also lost another kilo (2.2lbs). People look at me and they can't believe i was once a fat arse...

Do you guys play basketball several times a week even when you've already done strength training and plyos a couple of times that week????

Mig
