First tournament with @JrArsenalAAU 10U — NorCal Easter Showcase 🏆

Great team play from the boys to bring home the win.

Competing against strong teams, rising to the moment, and showing what this group is building.

For Jayden, it’s bigger than the win — it’s the mindset.
Doesn’t matter who’s in front of you… give them work on one end and lock up on the other.

Proud of this squad. Just the beginning.

Haven’t touched a ball in 3 weeks — been locked in on lifting.

Late run with my barber @mauiwowie_hh reminded me — real chemistry doesn’t disappear.

Stayed at 70%… saving it for Sunday @CBL.YayArea playoffs.

Week 3 of bringing weightlifting back.

Hang Squat Cleans after Front Squats.
Every 90s x 8 sets
Top sets: 185lbs for 3

Legs already taxed… still had to stay sharp under the bar.

That’s where the work really shows.

Week 3 of trickling weightlifting back in.

After coaching at Flagship, had an hour before my next client…
so I ran the workout I just coached.

3-position power clean (hip → hang → floor)
EMOM x 10
Top set: 165lbs

After a long hiatus… 30–40 sec rest is NOT a lot 😅

Got through it though.
Catch ya boy saaaanging on that last slide to Teddy P 🎶

Week 2 of sprinkling in Oly lifts before strength work.

Form… solid, but not perfect.
Struggling to keep the toes down from knee → hip. Little rock in the transition.

But that’s part of it.

There’s always something to clean up if you really want to improve. taken in Oakland YMCA by @otmjames

My favorite lift… Overhead Press.

7 sets of 5 @ 148lbs.
“Big back, BIG BACK!”

Up at 4:45am.
At the gym by 6am.
Coached 3 classes + 3 clients.

Still got my work in.

Now it’s time to get shots up with my son. 🏀

15 minute warm-up. Non-negotiable.
Before lifting & basketball.

Years of hoops, CrossFit, heavy training catch up to you if you ignore the small things.

No more ego lifting.
Now it’s about longevity, durability, and still being DANGEROUS in my 40s.

This is the prep before power cleans & front squats.

Yes I shoot 3’s… NOW!!! 😂

That wraps up one of the two leagues I’m in. Tough first-round exit, but it was a battle all season.

Often doubled… sometimes tripled (LOL).
22 / 12 / 5 / 2 stat line.

Great league put on by BLOL. Respect to everyone who competed.

Couple months back @cbl.yayarea Top division vs #1 seed.
Every game ain’t about buckets.
Sometimes it’s about IQ, sacrifice, and response. Came in ready to hoop… started inefficient. Misses. A couple bad turnovers.

That’s when being a vet matters.
Feed the hot hand. Pick better spots. Do the dirty work.

Didn’t get the win — but we fought. taken in Oakland, California by @otmjames
