10/27/2019 0 Comments Week 4 BlogThis week I worked out some more. We did squats all week in basketball conditioning. We did sets of 10,8,6, and 4. When we first started squatting, I was sore from doing the smallest weights. Now, I barely get sore anymore. I was doing 20 lb for all my sets when we first started. I didn't have correct form which is why I could only do small weights. On Friday, I started with 25 lb for 10. Owen told me to just try the 45 lb and he thought me the correct form. I did them easily and they got easier as I went on. When we squat again, I wanna do even more. I feel like my legs are getting stronger and they should be from all the squatting we have been doing. Before the football game on Friday, Owen and I went to Combat Athletics in Mocksville. I did all my normal stretches such as: ankle sweeps, walking lunges, and lateral leg swings. Owen took pictures of me doing these stretches. There was a vertimax at Combat Athletics and I used it to my advantage. I did one step vertical and a running start vertical. Owen took videos of these as well. My jumping form isn't correct because I got higher off one step than the running start. It is best to jump off one foot and I do that but I don't think my form is 100% right. A great workout to improve your vertical is lifting your feet. By this I mean just stand straight up, and lift yourself up with your toes only touching the ground. It doesn't seem like much but, after a while it starts hurting and you can feel your calf muscle hurting a little. This is going really well and I can't wait to see the final result!
