Introduce Yourself / Hello
« on: August 01, 2011, 09:41:53 pm »
Hi. I am a 28 year old male who has had a goal of dunking for a long time. I go in spurts where I focus on power and then lose it. I think it was more because I haven't been holding myself accountable. I have been reading posts from adarqui on t-nation for awhile and just stumbled upon his site a few weeks ago. I have been reading for the past few days and am ready to finally rededicate myself to my goal.
A little about me athletically...I am 5' 11" and right now I weigh about 190 or so. I am carrying some extra fat, as I was recently injured. I hurt my knee playing softball...sprained mcl and partially torn pcl. So for the past 2 weeks I have been working on getting my quads stronger to take the pressure off the pcl. I can do pretty much anything (walk, bike, most lifts, save for squats and deads...) except run and jump for now. So I think for the next two months my focus will be on upper body and rehabbing my knee. In addition, it will be to take some of my extra chunk off. I think I need to get to about 175 or so.
So I am pretty comfortable with my plan for the next two months or so....getting healthy and changing my body composition. However it is once I start moving towards the power goal that I am not quite sure where to start. So I will be doing a lot of reading!! And if any one has any input on where to start, I'd appreciate a point in the right direction!
