I woke, having slept hard and fast, a few hours before my alarm even, from a nightmare this morning – an all in all bad dream, but yet in it…I could easily dunk a basketball.
Two handed from a standstill no less.
And I did it both rep after rep, and at any given time.
It was burnt in, walk around ability.
I loved it.
So maybe it wasn’t that bad a dream after all.
I tell my coworker of this dream, “I don’t even come near the rim in my dreams” he says to me all sad like.
I laughed.
Often I view the things I do in dreams as the universe showing me possibility.
There is no reason that I stay forever ground bound.
I am reasonably explosive at sprints and broad jumps, though naturally better on the horizontal than the vertical plane for whatever reason.
I could learn to dunk, and I feel that a two handed slam from a standstill alongside a ≤6:00 mile, and 20+ (preferably 30+) pullups is an attainable all around very athletic me.
I haven’t stepped on a scale since the end of 2019.
I do not care the scale.
This too means I am free to drop unnecessary bodyweight.
Though able to recall, in my early 20s, calculating that my lbm alone put me outside of military weight regs I am free to drop bw.
I’ll get some more training in.
Note :
high rep overhead squats did give me vertical ability when I did them daily
