Sup everyone, I'll be logging here since most of my training is geared towards basketball, but will be primarily powerlifting. My philosophy is that strength (especially lower body and core) plus skills is what defines an elite bball player.
My workouts will consist primarily of squats (full), some type of GHR, calf, and back plus some shoulder. I will incorporate other powerlifts as time goes on such as cleans and hopefully the snatch.
I hope to play as little bball as possible before I get to high 300s -400s in my squat. Intense cardio can be detrimental to gains. But I believe in game bball is the best type of plyo for a bball player.
Stats-
Squat full - 310
DL - 315 (stopped for 3-4 months now due to back problems)
BW- 179
BF- 25%
Standing vertical - 27in after warm up

^ thanks, hopefully i can make gains while cutting, and based on all the horror stories i've heard of cutting and maintaining strength, i am not too optimistic.

Was not going to squat today, but recovered better than expected but not totally recovered. planned on squatting tomorrow w/o pre work supp, but decided to squat today and take some c4 and DAA (last day of cycle).

Set 2: 7/10 form
Set 3: 8/10 form
Set 4: 6/10 form
Set 5: 8/10 form
So form was okay and didn't really squat morning. I think the rest and the prework out supp helped me get thru this, unlike last session. Next up 285 will be a monster to tackle since I am also cutting.

In on this, you doing any plyo or anything like that, or jumping daily? I think not doing anything active and just lifting would be determential to your VJ, it would make you stronger but being stronger doesn't necesarily equate to a higher vert, I think the strength just gives you a better means to translate into a higher vert but you need to apply it as well, guess if you good muscle memory you should be straight
need to get back into my vj training sometime soon

right now i am too heavy to be doing plyo's. i want to preserve my joints and knees as much as possible. Many people make the mistake of doing too much plyo's and then taking out their knees or some other joint. once that's gone, you're pretty much screwed. Look at all the nba players that have bad knees... brandon roy is perfect example. So i'm going to wait until i am at about 160 lb and squatting 350 plus before I start doing the real explosive plyo's like depth jumps and drops.
the way to go for getting super explosive is to develop the super strength/lose the fat and then utilize that strength via explosive work. also remember that having muscle/strength protects the joints and absorbs some shock.

we r like in the same boat. same height but im like 50 pounds heavier. I can't believe you're not jumping through the roof. although i guess our frames could be different. I have a one step vertical of about 35.5. enough to grab rim.
but i got the same goals and all too! lose bodyfat/weight, increase strength WHILE CUTTING. Also want a 40+ vertical.

^ thanks for the words of encouragement. njlife- i think my jump mechanic is flawed and i also have some posture issues + high body fat %. Theoretically i should have 30in SVJ based on my squat #s but it is around 26-27 right now. I'm guessing you are squatting hi 300s to 400s to be jumping as high as you are, or you're doing insane amounts of lunges and/or SDLs?
resuki- are you doing strength training for legs and core?

Back [10 x 135] [10 x 185] [5 x 225] [7x260] <---was going for 8 but stopped at 7 [5 x 260] [3x280] <--- okay form [2x300] <--- pinned 2nd rep, had it but just didnt have that drive and gave up [5 x 225] <---5 sec holds on few of the reps.
tried hip thrusts on bosu ball, does not work at all. probably done with hip thrusts, too annoying.

Squat back to back days heavy [paused 1st and last reps]
front [10x bar] [10x95] [5x135]
back [10x135] [5x185] [5x225] [5x245] [2x285] lol pinned 2nd rep [1 x 315] pinned [3x275] <--- good form
[10x225]
So i tried the frank yang close your eyes/blindfolded while lifting. Worked real good for lighter weights, almost tipped over at 285 and 275, didn't try for 315.
I think that may be why i got pinned at 2nd rep of 285. If balance is not an issue, squatting blindfolded is wonderful, for some reason u can concentrate a lot better.
for the 315, i probably could have managed if i did squat morning, but i focused on good form. Overall form was good, but energy just not there.
BW-- 168! down 12 lb from Jan 1st. I probably haven't lost that much strength. My pr before was 310, now i think i can still get 310 if i took caffeine/preworkout. haven't been taking any stims preworkout so maybe that's why i am struggling with the 285s and 300s.

run up technique is important. if u play a lot of bball, pretend you're going in for a tip dunk or something, that may help. and it could mean that u hold too much unneeded mass (fat or muscle) and ur reactive abilities are still poor, but it's not a big deal bc its better to get to 10% bf 1st than work on reactive strength like depth jumps and plyos.

i do working sets of 330-350 squats ATG(focus squeezing with glutes) AND deadlift. think i just hit 1.5x my bodyweight so I may start doing plyo's for reaction time off ground.
havent tried maxing out on either yet.
I don't have any specific workout program i follow. typically warm up set then working @ like 250 then 2-3 more sets of 305-335 of 4-6 deeeeeeep squats also do jump squats with about 135 (also push presses to strengthen the shoulders for more momentum up )
how often are you measuring your vertical? or attempting to jump up higher? remember to jump better, you gotta practice jumping.
keep going brah. this is motivating to see others going for it too!Shut up and Squat!

you haven't posted in a week. dont lose faith, keep hanging in there. you will reach your goals. Sometimes taking a week off and just doing a light warmup and just stretching (each day30mins) really helps recovery and the following week you will bust through even higher.
