bball lifting:
bench up to
225x5
and
135x30+
some pullups etc...

I have been getting some quad cramps after couple hours of conditioning we do, they're much more frequent then hamstring cramps, but at least they don't hurt nearly as much.

LOL.
school said I had 8% bodyfat since then I lost a little.Definitely look like I shouldn't go any lighter. Basketball "season" is about to start on monday and our team has good enough people on it to go to the state tournament and do well, but I don't know about how hard we work for it.

Holy shit. I can't believe how lean you are and still so strong. Great work.

Don't get any lighter though. Doesn't look like you've got anything left to lose without muscle melting away.

kinda want to get to 4% bodyfat, but you have a good point that I shouldn't risk muscle loss.
