damn, lol I saw the fight and that part of the picture, man he was knocking him out with his shots, teach him a lesson. when you say something you must back it up in the ring. connor knew he didn't have to reply to his low comments. yet he still unapologetic. 

ya he was punishing him for those remarks.

first in game dunk

only a training scrimmage, but broke away on the fast break, dribbled the whole court then 2 feet 2 hand slammed it with a guy chasing me down.

sick!! did every1 go nuts?

10 November 2016

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Very indifferent day. Fitness was good but not better than last time, maybe a bit worse. Legs were looser than recently, so foam roll and stretch does work ( no shit! ), but not loose. Jumping felt a bit better than last time, but it was still bad. My game was bad too, i built my whole game ( offense and defense ) around high jumping all those years. Having a ~10'1'' max touch renders that invalid, so i get demotivated and also kinda useless.

Next day , legs are toasted again, VERY tight. OK, i am tired of this. I am making recovery ( stretch and foam roll ) #1 priority on my training. From now on, It will be OK if i miss a squatting day but it will not be ok if i don't stretch/SMR. DAILY!!! I will try to keep this up till Christmas, see what happens. If legs are still tired/stiff/tight/under-performing by then, i will go to check them at a sports doctor.

Word.

nice.. interested to see how this goes. it's the "psychology" change that'll make the difference.

I personally have just reverted to focusing entirely on my quads (with just a little calf/hamstring).. that seems to give me the best bang-for-my-buck. I have a few weird side effects of stretching my hamstrings: hamstring tendons can get achy or painful, calves can tighten up. Also stretching my calves seems "iffy", sometimes it helps, sometimes it causes problems. So the weird thing is, it seems that stretching my quads seems to be something that "always provides benefit" - it almost seems like a cheat code.. i feel so good when I loosen them up.

so ya I think that's the key, experimenting with several flexibility/recovery techniques and then finding the stuff that provides the MOST benefit.. once we find that, then we can focus more on that, and then just throw in a few other things to be safe.

Barely did anything last week and feel good. Today was a little more encouraging in the weight room. Inching my way back.

nice!! 

BAMF, you are!!!
 

haha @ BAMF ... if I keep this up, I might eventually get to legit BAMF. I truly believe I could get to beast level (specific to age group) @ running. I'm definitely glad I made the decision to take this journey. No more "fighting my genetics", now i'm about taking full advantage of them and reaching max potential in this running sport.

I also think my mindset of just keeping up with the fastest people for as long as possible, is similar to my mindset of just going out and throwing down all power dunks. It's more about guts & pushing the limits than anything else. It took me over a year to get this mindset back (after losing it for ~3+ years). When i'm in peak form, i'm just very aggressive. By risking so much during a race, I think that's helping me grow faster than average... I mean, i'm actually hoping someone like Mo Farah is lined up during one of these races - i'm going to be able to keep up to some extent, and I think that stimulus is so powerful. No holding back.

Thanks so much man!!!!

this is literally the definition of beast.
