submax form running, very fast stride freq: ~3.17 mi in 30:01 min
- 5k: ~29:25 min/s
- I must have run ~6 miles worth of strides.. HEH.
- on average I get ~1 stride per "sidewalk step", I was getting 2 and sometimes 3 (for the slightly longer steps).
- mostly midfoot, very bouncy
calves burning after.. nooo!
very light stretching:
- calves, hamstrings, quads, upper

crap programming day x 2.. BUT, made some progress with this re-rendering issue i'm experiencing.. i really can't move forward until I fix it.
I emailed the author of the react-flux library.. no response yet. Meanwhile, I somewhat was able to reproduce the issue in some experimental code AND I was able to narrow it down to one potential function. Tomorrow, i'm back on that all day.
calves are wrecked.. curious to see how I feel tomorrow. I was supposed to do my interval runs tonight but, just too sore & it was absolutely soaked/slippery.

Shoes / Re: A shoe specifically for dunking
« on: August 30, 2016, 09:16:23 pm »i know i've said it before but IMHO lotto quaranta is currently the best substitute. they're 7.7 ounces -- not quite 5 but still a lot lighter than any other tennis or bball shoe i've ever seen -- have flat and wide soles and are reasonably stiff.
not saying a dunk-specific shoe wouldn't be better but quarantas aren't bad. and they're cheap, ~$40.
yo! do you put insoles in them? Both of the pair I bought, the soles ripped out within a week.. and they were this weird cushion material.
I didn't like the "normal pair" too much .. but, maybe that's just because I liked the other pair I bought which was made out of that new bouncier material. I forget the name of it. I never jumped in them.. not sure if i'd enjoy SLRVJ'n in them from what I remember.. DLRVJ would have felt good I imagine.
Bro, APL already made the perfect dunking shoe!
Ha but actually they have some pretty interesting looking shoes now:
http://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/mens/athletic-footwear/basketball-shoes.html
Can't believe how many lines they have though, not only bball shoes but running as well. Such a crowded space.
WTF? they have so many models/designs now.. ha
I'm actually pretty happy with my Kobe's they're not heavy at all and lowtop, comparable to my running shoes .. the only problem is, and this is a deal breaker ... is that they're not flexible on the top so i dont get much dorsiflexion (?). if i can find a pair of shoes that have that as well i'll be super happy for a dunking shoe (and general basketball).
i've never had kobe's.. and i'm still tempted. I think I need to get a stronger shoe for MAX EFFORT slrvj... i can submax in my flats but, max effort, might be risking it a bit.. I just don't want to F up my heel.

submax form running: ~3.17 mi in 28:50 min
- 5k: ~28:15 min/s
- looks really slow, but, kinda the point.
- most all of the run was midfoot - for some reason my body wanted me to go midfoot as opposed to the light heel->toe that i've been doing.
- each mile was ~9 min/mi
- worked alot on really quick GCT
- last ~.17 mi was ~6 min/mi .. which is kinda nice .. I just decided to finish with some power. it's hard to get back into 'fast mode' when i'm running in slow motion.
happy with it.. legs felt really good/bouncy.
left calf burning after.. nooo!

« on: August 29, 2016, 11:24:42 pm »i see, that sounds good then. i'll probably run no longer than a mile too. it was just the losing weight/muscle thing from the extra cardio that i was concerned with though, but i guess if i wanna run guess i'll have to stuff myself afterwards. also something related, when i was in the 12th grade, it was when i seriously started bulking up, started squatting and sometimes deadlifting, and went from weighing 110 the last year to 160. for gym class, we had to run the 1.5 mile, and i remember absolutely smashing my last year's PR that year. i think that bulking up and having the extra muscle helped even though 1.5 is more long distance.
damn 110 to 160 in 12th grade is either a late growth spurt or alot of needed eating!

i also remember having more stamina and energy, and definitely had a lot more power.
nice!
what happened to your vert too? it also go up?

dno. i've never been outside the US. :/
Am I mistaken, or didn't you go to china before, I remember you made a video about it, or was it just china town and you were just trolling us.
lmao!!! it was just a basketball gym full of asian people on one side, and black people on the other side.. that's a good memory though. :F
that was me just trolling/messing around @ 1:50 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI_c2dz0C_4
i'm actually glad i just re-watched that video though.. weird but cool.

Basketball / Re: increasing range?
« on: August 29, 2016, 11:03:04 am »have always had trouble generating enough power when shooting beyond the arc. anyone have tips?
single arm shooting drills are importing.. do you do them? they will also help with what LBSS mentioned, using your hips more... but they also improve your 'arm + wrist flick' which is where you can get a ton of power on your jumper - ie the follow through.
it's basically just shooting 'set shots' with one arm from various places on the court. you always "start right under the hoop" then work your way out.. achieving proper release from AT LEAST the free throw line is important. If you build enough power to easily shoot freethrows using this form-shooting drill, you'll have enough power to shoot threes, that's for sure.
edit: and then of course simply taking more shots, with good form, from as far as possible.
this drill can be done with the guide hand down at your side .. it can also be done with the guide hand in 'position' but not actually touching the ball.
also, this is perhaps the best drill to warmup for games/shooting etc.. I would always just warmup with ~50 or so single arm shots from pretty much right under the basket .. making sure my hips were square, using my legs properly, shooting arm is an L, extend completely through the shot while flicking the wrist.
the best warmup to "wake up your mechanics", IMHO.
