 Jump the lowest I have in 10 years. Okay, and you know what that means to me I'm about to jump my highest ever How does that work because the mindset is the lower you jump the deeper you go the brighter you glow This is only setting me up for the best comeback of all time come back from what? Little injury did it take me way too long two years, and I didn't know what else Yeah, does it suck to see footage from over a year ago where you're jumping a lot higher and he did nothing really Of course, but does that change the journey? No This is what I love seeing those low points so you can harness them So when you achieve the highest level you can you can see the progress seeing is Impactful now when I make those gains, and I have this video right here to show you where I started Done so this is a reminder sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward Sometimes you have to go down the mountain to find a new path to the top am I delusional? Maybe but here's the thing the climb is The fun finding a way to jump higher than ever after such a low point and dealing with that doubt dealing with that fear Dealing with that feeling of what the fuck am I doing? Should I do this? Is this even my purpose? Should I give up? No, let's do it I was already hyped to begin with as you know now when I surpassed my highest jumps ever after going down Down down down down down the hype is gonna be out of body. Literally. I'm gonna lose my skin Yo, what's good guys? I just got the steel of a century. I feel like rare kicks out here. Look Nike bag I need a new gym bag for the ball and the tripod 85 bucks. I got it for 30 at Ross shout out Ross right now look at this I could put my ball in it so we'll see I was looking for something I put my tripod in my camera in and the ball maybe even my shoes So we'll see if I like it, but can't really beat that. Let's go need this Last session where I was like really practicing it already feels a little bit more natural It's just getting back to that routine. I haven't jumped in months So have to go back to square one already feeling progress. This guy was 400 pounds and now he's almost dunking How tall are you 63 and what was the biggest key for you to keep losing weight? Really And what was your mindset what flipped it from when you're 400 pounds, you're like I got to get back in shape I can't skip it. I can't do the full speed yet Here is the RDA I was trying to keep my corn gauge Latin gauge spreading the bar pulling the bar bar apart that keeps me in great form My head is neutral and pushing my butt up is the most important it fires up that hamstring It hurts like crazy, but if you watch my other videos, I explain why I'm going through that pain I'm Remolding that tissue and right here starting to feel really good lower and lower and that's just something that I'm working on Really really heavily and it's making a lot of progress day by day I have to do this every single day not every day this heavy, but daily I have to stretch it out So this is the heaviest I've gone yet with the RDA else two plates That's 225 pounds and really just pushing my hamstring see how much strength it has it easily can lift it and lower it It hurts, but I'm working through it And I'm excited to start adding more and more weight that strength is going to make me fly, baby And now just rep out lightweight back to 135 just carving those new patterns telling my hamstring pushing it Focusing on that form just pushing pushing pushing that butt up that hamstring length lengthening strengthening reps on reps Just to really carve new tissue. That's the whole game plan with this I have a lot of scar tissue I have to break up and Reprogram the patterns that my hamstring does not want to move into so that way I can use it to its full potential Let's go range of motion length through strength strength through length whatever the flower and lastly the stretch the hamstring Stretch is holding my leg at 90 degrees using that quad to flex my foot up to stretch that hamstring It looks like I'm not trying but I'm trying really really hard to straighten that leg and every day I'm making progress with this and I have to do this twice a day minimum just to keep those patterns emerging And that is the daily grind for me really making progress even get it all the way straight and flex that knee and lock it out So that's huge for me and just got to stay on top of it, especially now that I'm jumping. Let's get it Yo, so this was the very next day just went to the gym to do some recovery and stretching But people were playing so I'm like, you know what? I'll have some fun good blood flow and in just three four days from that last One-on-one session I felt so much less rusty and just quicker and just way more in rhythm with my game So that's really fun to see that progress and really good for my mentality because yesterday after such a rough jumping session It feels good to be a little bit quicker and still feel athletic So I got to just remember that it takes time to get back into the groove. It takes time to be speedy and explosive It's just my livelihood. So when I had a day like the last couple sessions where I just felt super unathletic I got to remember it's just what week one and two of getting back to full speed Lowest day of my life but today about here for my sanity, but also just attested out because It was that bad the balance of training. It's an art I talked about in my podcast and if you want to know more about that's all I'm gonna say Even these jumps felt really good wasn't expecting to jump at all but my body's feeling great So that's just a great sign feeling natural feeling springy again So just really staying patient off the drop again But really excited for these upcoming weeks to really make progress jumping again Feel like my ceiling is don't play down to the rim you're at same goes for competition Don't play to their level always be the underdog
