27-10-15 - Back to Training

After nearly a week off again I got back into training last night. I took the dog for a walk with my son after school for about an hour. I wasnt able to record it as my strava was with a problem.

This morning I got up a 5am and did my weigh in I am still 92.5kgs but by body fat is down to 28.8% which is good.

I then took the dog for a walk. We walked for 32 minutes and covered 1.3 miles and climbed 473 feet.

After the walk I went to the local uni and shot hoops. I warmed up shooting 50 freethrows and then shot 10 3 pointers from the middle.

As I have a few championships coming up I have decided to consentrate my efforts on getting my floaters dialed in.

This morning I made 50 floaters faking the 3 pointer then dribbling right and then shooting the floater with the left hand off of the right leg. At the start shooting the floater with the left hand felt really strange but after making 10 I was in a rhythm.

After the 50 floaters I made another 20 freethrows and called it a day.

I was shooting hoops for 1.5 hours so it was a good workout.

Tonight I have a match against the uni team so I will see how the practice pays off.

Tomorrow morning I plan to do the same drill except going to the left and shooting with the right hand.

This week I am going to practice floaters every day. Next week I plan to also start back doing my bodyweight routine as well after shooting.

23/10/15 - really busy

I have been really busy since last thursday so havent worked out much and havent played basketball at all.

The problem is that I have a basketball match next tuesday a tornament in just over a week and then another 2 tornaments over the next 2 weeks. As I havent done anything for a week I have put on an extra kg.

I am going to start training again tomorrow morning. I will start walking the dog and then go shoot freethrows and then practice shooting from the elbows and then doing floaters. I will then do 10 sets of make 10 layups (5 sets from each side) I will then do 10 sets of suicides to finish off I will make another 50 freethrows.

I will then play basketball in the next town in the evening.

Sunday I plan to walk the dog again and then shoot freethorws followed by layups and then 10 sets of make 10 full court layups followed by 3 sets of 17s. I will again finish off with making 20 freethrows.

15/10/15 - Long Walk

Haven't been exercising much recently and as a result my weight has platoued at around 92kgs for the last few weeks. I am over of flu so I got up early and took the dog for a long walk as she hadn't been out for about  a week.

We walked for 1 hour 15 minutes and 34 seconds. We walked 3.2 miles and climbed 1042ft.

I was really hot even though we stared walking at 6:30am and by half was the dog was draging ass!!!

I am going to do this route for the next couplke weeks every morning to try and get over the weight plateu.

My weigh in this morning was 92.3kgs and 30.7% body fat. Looking back over my results for the last month I  am exactly same weigh and have dropped 0.3% bodyfat from this time last month which is not good but at least I havent put any weight on. Also although I haven't lost any weight my body composition and fitness levels are greatly improved from this time last month.

13/10/15 - First Exercise since Friday!

I have been I'll since the weekend so havent trained. Tonight I did 5 minutes warm -up on the exercise bike on L2 and then Played fullcourt 5 v 5 for 2 hours.

My weigh in wasnt so bad considering the lack of exercise in the last couple of weeks. I was 92.3kgs and 31% body fat.

Got up early today and walked the dog. We did a longer route today. We walked for 50.54 minutes, we covered 2.2 miles and climbed 725ft.

06/10/15 - Back to shooting

Got up this morning and walked the dog for 34.20 minutes. We walked 1.3 miles and climbed 465ft.

After my really poor shooting for the last couple of weeks I decided that I needed to go back to shooting in the the mornings so after the walk I went to the club made shot free throws for an hour.

I made 100 freethrows.

I concentrated on my technique and using the proshot technique. After about 40 made shots I got into the groove again and my shot was lines up and coming off of the finger as it should. I am also aligning my shot better and it is feeling more natural to line up my hip shoulder and arm to the basket.

It has definately cut down the misses to the sides.

Had a good training session this evening too. We played full court for 2 hours. Good workout but not much else.

03/10/15 - Basketball only

I did go to the next town and do basketball training for 2 hours so not all bad.
