This week was feeling pretty good kind of. I had a small scare when I tried to lift a dumb bell off a rack and strained my back a bit. It's better now. This happened earlier in the week.
I'm up to 85lbs on the dumb bell bench reppin about 8 reps on my highest set to finish off the heavy session I think? Not bad. I may push for 90lbs on the next heavy dumb bell bench session.
deadlift, up to 235 overhanded grip, I can push 275lbs sumo style.
Squat, I think I'm at about 235 or 245? Not sure as I don't keep track real well. I just go in and lift to how my body responds to the weights these days.It's feeling pretty decent but we'll see how well I can keep up the routine.
Sleep is a luxury these days and my schedule will be changing crazily after this week to where I will really have to utilize my time very well throughout the week if I really do want to keep up with workouts. Not sure if I will be able to keep up with basketball either.
We will see I guess. Progression pics from this month will be up next week!

Summer Transformation
At the beginning of the summer, I told myself that this is my last opportunity to make a transformation during the summer.
I pushed for this at the beginning of May ( Maybe a couple of days before May, I started training?).
Consistently, I worked out for about 6 days a week (sometimes 5). It's a particularly tough and weird split for me even though its so consistent because I'm currently focusing my goals between
-Maximizing Basketball Athleticism and gains
- Increasing my weight lifting status and gains.
As of Today, my weight lifting goals are pretty decent I'd say considering how I have been splitting it between basketball training 2-3 days out of the week and a pure crazy ball session on Saturdays (sometimes hitting up the gym in the evening for a double workout.
Here's a outline of how my training/workout schedule has been this past summer.
Before each workout on Monday-Thursdays , I'll always do a 10-12 min warmup run that is about 1 mile or 1.2 miles maybe
Monday - Typically a back attack day
Tuesday - Sometimes a chest or legs day depending on how I decide to mix things up.
Weds - Chest/Arms day if I did back the day before.
Thurs - Agility/Running Flexibility drills
Friday - Pure Ball handling/Shooting drills and training
Saturday - 3-4 Hours of Basketball Game day in the morning
- This could be a double workout day where I would maybe shoot for a bit in the evening/do some dribbles exercises and then hit the weights with some maybe chest, legs, or back
Sunday - Definitely a chest day on Sunday.
As you can see, my days of which exercises I hit heavily rotates. If I were to do a pure workout routine for weights, it would definitely be a lot more consistent in my split.
I had a small injury yesterday from basketball that was a bit of a scare. I thought I blew out my knee but it turned out to be a sprain type of injury I think. So glad. If my knee wasn't supported by all the exercises I've been doing to strengthen that area, I'm sure I definitely would have blew my knee out.
Thankful and grateful for that. Will do another post later on this week to highlight this injury
Gonna post some photos from this summers transformation so far.
This is going to be a challenge to keep up with the gains from this transformation because of my life schedule. It's going to be drastically changing soon and I hope to be able to keep this up.
