Basketball / Re: A WHOLE BUNCH OF DUNKS AND SHIT.

is it just me or does DJ stephens jump very hip/glute dominantly? maybe it's just cause hes so long and thin. his thighs look like sticks, so i was also figuring he isn't very quad dominant.

not sure about hip/glute dominant .. he looks crazy springy though -> barely needs any range of motion to launch.. I imagine he's got some high performance tendons as well ;f

also don't mistake stick-legs for weakness .. in normal people that's usually the case, but for elite athletes you find tons of skinny/light athletes with stick legs who can fly.. especially when they are ~16-18 before universities/coaches sometimes try to add more weight/muscle.

my race is at a nice park i dunked at once (way back - glass backboard hoops).. might do some jumps (and maybe dunk attempts) after my race.

haahhaahh.

18m 5k and then smashes dunks. The other runners won't know what to do with themselves. 
 :ibrunning: :ibjumping: :motherofgod:

ahaha.. ya it would be weird. I bet the court is nowhere near the post-run area tho.

i probably have like 1% chance of landing a dunk after a 5k .... if i've been jumping. I haven't been jumping so .. I have more like a 0.1% chance. I'll bring my basketball though just in case. If anything i'll just get some jumps in for fun.

pc!

haha yeah I imagine it'd be hard the way you push yourself during a 5k. Would be a sweet vision though.

ya.. that was the initial plan: dunk, sprint, run.. but i've just been so obsessed with running lately (and some sprinting) that jumps have taken a back seat. I'm definitely getting stronger, bouncier, leaner, faster, better shape etc .. so it's possible my SLRVJ is still fairly decent.

but ya, after a 5k, i doubt i'd have much in my legs.. though, the speed work i'm doing after my 5k's lately is making my legs stronger, for sure.

back when i was jumping alot + running alot, I jumped VERY GOOD after trying to PR my 1 KM's .. but I never jumped nearly as good after trying to PR my 2 mile runs.. so 3.1 miles sounds even worse lmao.

i'll probably do some jumps even if it's just some fingertip touches ... dno tho.. I remember those courts were amazing.

should get some kewl pics at least.. :D

peace!

Ben Cousins has really spiralled down the wrong path since retirement. The only time you ever hear about him now is when he's getting arrested, which seems to be a yearly occurrence. The crystal pistol is frying his brain.

sux :/ he seemed like a beast.

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: 6 hours
last night fell asleep: ~11 PM
wakeup = 5 AM.
bw = 149 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = none
aches = ribs slightly (left & right side)
injuries = 2 toenails turning black
standing desk (when on computer): not much
feel = decent
water = alot
mosquito bites: 0




Food

5:15 AM

- banana
- ~3 oz concentrated coffee



Session: Morning

6:30 AM

warmup:
- felt good, lots of bounce from jump rope the night prior

run: 3.1 mi in 31:01
- focused on the first 2 miles only
- splits: 5:57, 6:17 (feh)
- 12 minute test: 6:07 min/mi, 1.96 mi

again, slowing down at turns really kills me.. it's the single biggest thing I think I need to work on. I did a better job at picking it back up in the second mile but, slowing down at every turn takes a ton of valuable time off.

speed:
- 5 x ~97m
- max speed: ~16 mph @ what felt like ~75% effort damn, nice
1. 19.4s (5:50 min/mi) (max: 5:08)
2. 17.7s (5:11 min/mi) (max: 4:42)
3. 16.8s (4:49 min/mi) (max: 4:16)
4. 17.3s (4:53 min/mi) (max: 4:07)
5. 14.8s (4:23 min/mi) (max: 3:47)





i do a decent job at increasing my speed progressively... hehe!

- would have been 4 PM but, when i sliced through this watermelon, i knocked over a glass plate and it smashed .. then the watermelon fell on top of it and had glass shards in it..  :raging:
- hehe

- a big quarter (?) of a watermelon




Session: Stretching

6 PM

- stretching quads/hip flexors while walking dogs
- right hip flexor a bit more tight .. need to keep my eye on it



Session: Evening

7 PM

warmup
- springy

runs: 2 x ~1158m
- strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/749084188
- ribs/abdomen felt good - no sign of cramping
- was going to do 4 x 100m but, just being careful .. a bit achy in right hip/hip flexor and calves are tight (but also tight in a good way .. felt so strong in them during my runs)
1. 3:49.5 (5:18 min/mi)
2. 3:46.3 (5:12 min/mi)





happy about that !!  :ibrunning:



Food

- 2% milk
- banana



Food

9 PM

- 1/2 ham and cheese sandwich
- small soup
- 4 x banana
- 2% milk



quads/calfs = sore.. lool.








note to self:
- updating through the day.
- consistency consistency .. consistency.
- stop being a pussy.
- forget about what you did earlier, the day before, the week before, the year before .. focus only on the current session

goals:
- wakeup @ 5 AM
- improve:
-- 100m
-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM
-- 12 minute test
-- 5 KM
-- L-SLRVJ
-- half squat, half RDL, calf raises, BW upper

potential run protocols:
- always warmup great
- very light stretching before
- light stretching after
- paced runs: pick a pace and hold it 100%
- hold-on-for-dear-life: pick a pace, try and maintain pace for as long as possible -> measure distance maintained
- 12-minute test
- 200, 400m, 1km, 1 mile repeats
- from salazar workouts slide:
-- 6 x mile repeats with 400m jog recovery
-- 20 x 200m, with or without jog recovery
-- 8-12 x 400m, with x-second (~60s) standing recovery

training:
- finish 5k sessions with some ~150-200m max sprints

5k:
- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3
- maximally sprint (~160m) at the end of every 5k (from 3.0 to 3.1) -> need to teach myself to always tap into every last MU

markers:
- repeatable 1m:15s 400m's with ~1 minute rest in between
- max 400 under 60s

future contests:
- 10/09/2016: would need to run ~18:30 5k to win
- 11/24/2016: would need to run ~16:30 5k to win
- 12/14/2016: would need to run ~4:40 mile (holiday 1-mile race) to win

cues:
- POSTURE! RUN TALL!
- SHORT GCT
- WHEN TIRED, SHORT GCT + GET STRIDE FREQ BACK ON TRACK
- HOLD HANDS PROPERLY - RELAXED
- STAY RELAXED

warning:
- ALWAYS WARMUP PROPERLY
- DO NOT OVERSTRETCH
- GET ENOUGH SLEEP

weird:
- CREATE IMAGINARY RUNNING FRIENDS & RUN WITH THEM

how come?
- HOW COME I CAN'T ADD ~20m A WEEK TO MY ~13+ MPH PACE?? :f

pre-run meals:
-
theories:
- Think "run beautiful" not "run hard"
-- ^^ has alot to do with how I strike the ground, breathe, don't tighten up, etc
- Really big gulping inhalations through the mouth, prior to a run, could help to get the lungs to wake up.
- Static (short-holds - 5-10s) stretching before running to help me relax, feel loose
- Less (good) fat / More carb = winning

Box Squat-
60x5
80x5
100x5
115x5x2
105x5

Chin Ups-
10x3

Pull Ups-
7x2

Edit- Went to an indoor court and played around for an hour. Did about 30 jumps. I was getting dunks on almost every attempt for my first 10 jumps. From jumps 10-20 the percentage dropped down to about 50% and by jumps 20-30 I was just too fatigued and was only getting around 1 in 4.

damn nice.

all of those were dribble up SLRVJ dunks?

15 October 2016

DIPS:
8@BW
8@BW
8@BW ( +1 rep ) , season best
PUSHUPS: 15@BW , POP!
-The damn trapezius injury re-flared, out of nowhere.  :raging:
Felt like a classic pull the moment it happened, that sharp intense focused pain, literally feeling the muscle fibers tear. FML.

fu*k man that sucks.. :raging:

you'd think if anything it would have re-tore on dips .. those are pretty intense for scapular stabilization etc.



Re-flared injury was much worse than the initial. Pretty annoying pain. Used NSAIDs and capsicum plasters all weekend. Much much better now ( Monday noon). Still some pain though. No gym today, will give it some more time to rest and heal.

ya sounds bad from the "literally feeling the muscle fibers tear" comment.. glad you're doing better already though man.
