First conditioning day done - 27/05/15
Managed to get out of bed this morning although it was a struggle. Did my 15 minutes warm up on the exercise bike and then walked with the weight vest on. I only walked for 23:33 minutes and 1 mile today as I was short on time but I still climbed 301ft.
I then went to the clube and di my conditioning.
My first set of freethrows were much better today. I made 20/26 (77%)I also made 15 in a row which isn´t bad. I then did the Mikan drill making 20 and the reverse Mikan Drill also making 20. When I got to the suicides I realized just how out of shape I was!! I only managed 3 of the 5 I was going to do as the third rep I was almost walking on the last full court sprint!
When I did the full court layups I decided on 2 made layups per set as a target for this week, next week I will up it to 4 made, then every week add 2 made layups until I am at 10 made layups per set. I did 5 sets of right handed layups and then 5 sets of left handed layups.
After the third set of fullcourt right handed layups I decided that I was going to make 5 freethrows as the rest period instead of just walking around for a minute.
My percentages are below:
5/9 (56%)
5/7 (71%)
5/6 (83%)
5/6 (83%)
5/6 (83%)
5/7 (71%)
5/5 (100%)
I then did the layup sequence which consisted of making 1 right handed layup, 1 left handed layup onthe right side of the basket, one left handed layup going under the basket from the right hand side to the left hand side. One right handed layup going under the basket from the right hand side, on left handed finger roll on the right hand side of the rim and finally a.spin move. I then did the same layups from the left hand side of the rim.
I then made another 5 freethows which I took 7 shots to make (71%)
I then shot another 20 freethrows to finish the session making 20/26 (77%)
When I got home I did a cool down on level one of the exercise bike for 10 minutes and rode 4.54km.
I didnt have time to stretch.
Today I made a total of 80 out of 105 shots or 76% of my freethrows which is good. It is even better considering I was running most as well.
