 yo straight energy today um just got home headed to the gym if you're working today too get that working get that working as in like towards your goals not work more work but you know so yeah got a fresh ass haircut just in time for my vacation uh let me talk power phase i just gotta work and you know i'm doing that never stop never stop always an attack locked in the path never getting off track whatever i lack head to my bag and i got laid and moving back from and my price is right i never change bro i don't get it done get it done right and that's really quick recap as usual i've been rehabbing my knee i did my strength phase and now i'm switching into the power phase my strength phase was only four weeks long four or five weeks but i made significant gains and the phase before that when i hurt my knee was actually a strength phase as well i did a strength phase a few months ago did too much lifting and jumping at the same time overloaded my knee rehab that now i did a strength phase i feel really strong so i feel like it's time for me to start doing my power phase i still think i could do more strength fit strength training but i just really want to get back to jumping i don't think i'm rushing it i've thought about it a lot i overthink it a ton anyway power phase talking to my boy john he made it very simple that the power phase is just uh pushing more weight than you would if you're just jumping with body weight so more weight than that and but less weight than if you're doing strength training and also that you're trying to move the weight as fast as possible so today i'm not going to go as fast as possible because i don't want to overload my knee and do something super explosive but i am going to do a little bit lighter weight and i'm not really sure i'm still trying to figure out what's best i'm still trying to figure out what's best for my power phase because i am monitoring my knee but my knee feels super strong thinking back of how much i've lifted and how much stronger it is i'm just super cautious about it so the one thing is that i'm being a little bit over cautious with my knee and that's because i've conditioned myself over the past two three months to be super cautious with it but when i think about what the lifts i've done of what it's been able to handle it's way stronger than it was a few months ago i've been doing isometrics every single day and i've been doing uh lifting on it with heavy box squats and hip thrust so my tendon's really strong so i think i'm ready to do more things start pushing it and i gotta push to see what it can handle and i'm just super pumped let's get it sharing that energy it's feet off each other i'm fucking working let's go i don't even know i'm just super high but i just want to start jumping and dunking still gonna got that goal in like 38 days 36 days i don't know something like that i'm gonna be dunking that's my goal it's like april 18 something like that let's training jump training it's very complicated there's different muscle fibers i definitely suggest watching daniel's videos about strength adaptations to learn about how the fuss the fossils the muscle fibers get recruited for fast twitch the slow twitch because i learned a lot even just today that i thought slow training you're going to switch your fibers to slow twitch but it's not the case even though you're moving slow it's still maximum tension which is going to be fast twitch it's very interesting and definitely check it out i told the guy yo give me the best look and to pay you guys this is what he gave me hey so my workouts very specific to me i can't really do a full leg bend with my left knee because of that weird tightness but my point is there's so much information out there i'm trying to share with you everything i know i'm lucky because i've accessed a different train of me about the body things like that but when i started my journey there was nobody even dunking so just remember that you have so much to learn and so much so many people you could talk to and learn from to just keep searching for your own problems and keep giving your body exactly what you need and we out here i'm telling you there's a lot of work to do but you can make it happen and we're making it happen good workout we shall see feeling really good after that it felt good to jump with no pain definitely could flare it up but you got to push it a little bit to figure out where your limit is because i've been super cautious now time to kind of push it so uh yeah so just keep working every little detail is going to be complex there's going to be a million different ways it can go but you got to just keep working figuring out what works for you but also trying to take the smart approach so you don't just go blindly into things but always working i know it seems like i'm doing this and i'm flip-flopping and things like that but i'm definitely not just trying to take an account every little factor that goes into training let's get it i'm super pumped feeling great my mobility is probably the best it's ever been right now i've matched it i've got i've been this mobile before but now i'm looking to excel at it exceed it and um yeah i got vacation in five days about we're just going to be walking a lot so it's kind of like a recap not a recap it'll be kind of a deload week for me where i just kind of take it take a week off from lifting but this week feels great and after that probably just increasing my jumping and a little bit of weight on the power phase i'm still figuring it out so stick with me and uh let me know if you have any questions because i'm here to answer them and let's get it let's work keep working share that energy let's go
