Haha. I don't believe in generalizing, so I did not mean to say everyone has a front, it's not completely true, but if I were not to generalize my thoughts would take longer to write out. Sadly you can't get the most out of what I'm saying because you choose to ignore it and create this mob mentality. Those who do agree with me on some points won't speak out for the most part.

Raptor: unfamiliar things are always scary. Scary = unfamiliar. Something that is true for pretty much everyone who commented on my posts is that most of you don't actually like to think as much as yo like to rant/get emotional. I've said this before many times, but getting emotional is "gayer" than staying rational as I try to, and the person who intelligently criticized my generalizations. I stand by what I say and am not afraid to speak my mind like some of you here because once again, my confidence comes from within, not from what people on a forum have to say.
"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

^ This is a great example of how people live with a front.
JC is trying to assert his dominance by insulting someone else, but he is merely expressing his insecurity in being called gay himself, or expressing his true thoughts, open to interpretation and perhaps destructive criticism of which he is afraid, perhaps due to his past complications with ED or w/e that was, (it's okay, my first gf sometimes couldn't give me a hard on, just wasn't sexually turned on by her much, so there are many reasons), but mostly just because of the front he has in order to gain status. I am not using these tactics to gain status, because my perception of status is generated in my own mind, not in the minds of forum members.

See I'm not speaking maliciously, this is just what I am thinking and I am most probably right. Most people on this forum are living in fear, and promote mob mentality, use pictures/emoticons to assert their dominance by attempting to ridicule others when they themselves are incredibly weak inside.

This is all good and all, but please don't assume and generalize that MOST people on this forum are like this.  Have you taken the time to get to know each individual on this forum?  No you haven't.  I'm a sociology major, and I KNOW a lot of people are the way you describe, but at the same time, it is not cool or fair to generalize a group of people this way.  Just because the case may be common, does not mean there isn't anyone out there who has no self-confidence issues.  

Either way, calm down bro.

You are absolutely right, i addressed this in above post.

And I was very calm while writing the post. Maybe what you mean is that you are uncomfortable with how much I am thinking. Well that's the way I am. That's what I like, what I don't like is ranting, using emoticons, because it impairs cognition.

The people who need to clam down are those who don't understand what I said and are getting all upset, because it should be given some thoughts, I could request that people try to detach themselves from their feelings (a great way to view new information), but I'm not 100% set out on making people think like me.

 The MAIN point is that, Adarq gets shit on starting strength because he puts out an equal attitude in some of his videos, belittling others, calling people pussies, etc. I think it's cool, but you will always get hate as a result. That answers adarq's question in the first post. If you want to maintain integrity of staying on topic in this forum, maybe we should just end with that knowledge, unless you want to intelligently argue out some opinions instead of using your amygdala unconcsiously to generate emoticons. If the latter, I'm done here.

Edit: done as in with this thread..

One IM PERSONALLY laughing because you were HORRIBLY TROLLED. DUH they are going to hate on darq not because of some karma bullshit but just because. Whenever you see any kind of video on youtube there is always some weak ass slob saying thats not ATG or those arent deadhang pullups or someshit like that. HALF THE PEOPLE WOULDN'T SAY SHIT LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE. What everyone forgets to realize is that HATERS ARE GREAT. AMAZING ACTUALLY. If you don't have haters you are doing nothing with your life. You have to have something for them to be jealous of. No one hates on a fatass.

Two you have to understand that half the shit you just said sounds like some new age shit. No matter what you say about it. You sounded like sicken vendetta there. That is horrible company. Even if meditation is good for you, you made it sound GAY AS HELL. A lot of us meditate, but we dont call it meditation for the most part, its just alone time. You have to remember that when we read your posts we are on a training site and you really have to be careful how you word things.

Third this comment
"It's okay for men to cry. I learned this recently at ultimatemenssummit.com, where these older men are promoting the idea that being stern and unemotional was the old-school concept of masculinity. It's okay to harbor grief, and can be quite therapeutic with a circle of men."

Why must you say it like that. If someone said that to me in real life is no thank you i wont join your circle. Again remember your demographics. For the most part everyone is between 14-30. Would you say this in a high school/college weight room? if not, then don't say it. For a lot of us training is our way of expressing our feelings. Idk bout many of yall but without i would be pretty depressed/smoke weed/become overly sexual. I know it is with darq. Idk his family situation, but from what i do know this is his way of getting away from everything and expressing his feelings.

Fourth, My personal annoyance with you is that you think so freaking much and the way you keep saying confidence from within. To compare it vertical jump training...you sound like a scammer like a luke lowry/alex maroko. We all have our guards up for a reason.


NO ONE WILL READ THE WHOLE POST EXCEPT A FEW PEOPLE. EXPECT THAT. DONT BE SURPRISED. IF YOU LEFT IT JUST AS
WE WOULD ALL BE COOL
The MAIN point is that, Adarq gets shit on starting strength because he puts out an equal attitude in some of his videos, belittling others, calling people pussies, etc. I think it's cool, but you will always get hate as a result.

If the latter, I'm done here.
Edit: done as in with this thread..
MY MAIN POINT IS TO WATCH HOW YOU FREAKIN SAY THINGS...KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND APPEALING ENOUGH FOR THE AVERAGE BRO AND THEN ELABORATE.

LOLLLLL relax man.. I think what Avishek had to say was cool (seriously).  He's just expressing his own opinions and he's not afraid to show it.  If it doesn't relate to you or you don't agree, just ignore it. 

Avishek, you brought open a topic that was very unexpected.  It was unexpected because this is a training site, so I guess it was like "umm wth is that about?"  Whether the topic relates to some or not, it is a valid opinion of his and that's all it is.  No need to hate, and also it's not like he started a topic called "confidence within" on the "strength,power,speed,reactivity sub-forum" lol.

And don't take JC's captioned picture responses seriously.  I don't think he's what you were saying "asserting his dominance" or "hiding" or whatever.  He's just not giving a damn what you have to say and putting up pictures I think were funny. 

Everyone should relax, and listen to an Alicia Keys song, because her voice is powerful enough to relieve stress, and improve muscle fatigue/recovery/protein intake/and fat burning.
Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

D-Rose:

Why do we always try to analyze people? You're trying to figure out 'why I had to say it like that.'

Get the f*** over it. I actually have improved on getting to the main point, the problem is that there are quite a few points to make...I would say everything I said in a college weight room actually since I aim to share my different thoughts as much as possible without those extraneous worries like "what are my demographics, I should know my demographics so people don't shit on me..." It's again a confidence issue.

If you ever think something sounds 'gay' or 'new age,' realize those are your subconscious programs and judgments. You're basically a robot not a free thinker when you react like that. So you're not thinking, you're reacting. We all do this (look up the amygdala). What I have taught myself to do and preach to others is to detach yourself from your preconceived notions. Takes lots of practice and it won't make sense overnight, maybe over a year...

But it is still relevant to peoples' goals on this forum. Learning these techniques and viewing things openly and non-judgmentally could take your training to a higher level, and help you absorb more information whether it be related to nutrition, or power training. Just some more food for thought.

I could elaborate more, because the way you think is really closed.. you said I almost sound like a 'scammer.' Your perception of a scam is dependent on the open-mindedness and your attachments to your beliefs and generally an inability to relax and view information without judgment and emotion. That's what most of the 'call 'em out' threads demonstrate.

"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching.

IDK didn't you just try to analyze me by typing up this post. Its not like its not something natural every human does.

Get the f*** over it. I actually have improved on getting to the main point, the problem is that there are quite a few points to make...I would say everything I said in a college weight room actually since I aim to share my different thoughts as much as possible without those extraneous worries like "what are my demographics, I should know my demographics so people don't shit on me..."

Fuck you too....Nice, improvement is always cool. I dont see it as a confidence issue. Actually environment plays a huge role in how what you say is recieved. No one ever stops you from saying it....and im all for you to keep on preaching its just that it wont be as effective.

If you ever think something sounds 'gay' or 'new age,' realize those are your subconscious programs and judgments. You're basically a robot not a free thinker when you react like that. So you're not thinking, you're reacting. We all do this (look up the amygdala). What I have taught myself to do and preach to others is to detach yourself from your preconceived notions. Takes lots of practice and it won't make sense overnight, maybe over a year...
Yeah i know its reacting. If we didn't have these subconscious programs and judgements, life would suck arse. You need those beliefs to make decisions. I understand your arguement...but i cant be a free thinker for everything. It is a great point btw...but i have to go on my judgement. I actually want to be more reactive and less thinking for plenty of reasons.

But it is still relevant to peoples' goals on this forum. Learning these techniques and viewing things openly and non-judgmentally could take your training to a higher level, and help you absorb more information whether it be related to nutrition, or power training. Just some more food for thought.
Problem is with half the shit you have on the internet more is not always better. Honestly all this overcomplicating on training is what holds a lot of people back. If we get to the point where we have plenty of relative total body strength and we can express that strength without any leaks. Isn't that our goal. I play ball.

Nutritionwise...i don't really trust anything I read. I try to keep it simple. Dont eat shit. Drink a gallon of water. Five-six servins of fruits and veges. Protein at each meal. 3 big meals and snacks in between. Carbs at breakfast and post workout. IF trying to gain, carbs at breakfast, post workout, and after any kind of basketball/physical activity. Honestly i don't want to think about eating i have other shit to worry about. Like if im getting laid tonight, if i did my homework, when im gonna play ball, etc.

I could elaborate more, because the way you think is really closed.. you said I almost sound like a 'scammer.' Your perception of a scam is dependent on the open-mindedness and your attachments to your beliefs and generally an inability to relax and view information without judgment and emotion. That's what most of the 'call 'em out' threads demonstrate.

Yeah I said you like a scammer. Well many scammers like to talk a lot, and try to use as big of words (AHAHA) and complicate things as much as possible. Listen to Jay shroeder then listen to kelly baggett. You sounded more like jay shroeder. Like I said before we all have our guards up for a reason. With what you wrote we do have to come with a very open mind to see that you were righting a lot of good stuff. Im just saying that why not write it in a way so that even if you do have a closed mind, you can still appreciate it.
