Season 1 recap Main hot girls father and friends were attacked by Brendan James in HS because he was a freak, he attacked her father but he lived and he killed 5 other people, police shot him and he fell into the lake and the figured they killed him. You find out that emmas mom and Brendan james boned and knocked up emmas mom and thats why her father left. Brendan James was disfigured AF and had a special mask(killers mask) made to keep his face like together after surgery. Main hot girl w/nice butt has killer after her Main hot girl and friends try to find out who it is Main hot girl finds out who killer is (half sister) at party and main killer dies Ending scenes show Main Hot girls friend had letters from the main killer
Season 2
Emma(main hot girl with nice butt) is back in lakewood after having a psychotic break and everything seems to be the same. Noah(friend) starts a podcast about everything that happened and had suspicions that main killer had an accomplice and tried to piece it together. Main killer mainly stalks Emmas friend who brought the killer to lakewood, not too kill but to just fuck with everyone and tries to get video footage to pin everything on her and emma(you find out later he makes a video) Jake(friend) is the first to go but nothing happens with that until like 4 episodes in when they are at school and they unroll a banner and he drops out and almost lands on his gf. This is when everything starts and they just throw curveball after curveball so you have no clue who the killer is and even a few things that should have been explained werent. Kieren(emmas bf after her first boyfriend died in season 1) cousin who shows up this season was at the previous bfs funeral before anyone knew him. He took Emma to an abandoned house to try to bone and there were 2 bodies in the bathroom(the cousin isnt the killer btw) but its strange that they didn't explain that. More killings and sabatage and what not happens and you get to the final episode that I am rewatching where you get to find out who the killer is. Ending scene shows killer in Jail and killer calls claiming to be his lawyer and says "Who said you can wear my mask"
First Season was all John Carpenter and had a Scream 4 feeling to it where it picked on itself and picked on social media a lot. Also contained creative narrating. This season didn't feel like that and it seemed like it was too technological for the killer to do by himself(uploading a video as a virus onto a computer nerd who hacks computer and cant stop it for instance) I am not a fan of slasher movies like this where the second movie(or season) incorporates the main character being a nut job which makes sense but they do too much of her being crazy and seeing things and it just didnt feel like it worked. It still peaked my interest once jakes body was revealed and was kind of disappointed in the deaths simply because its supposed to one up itself and idt this time it did. The new PC characters would have annoyed me because they did it simply because the first season was too white but the characters were good.
Killer reveal: I wont in case someone reads my shitty reviews and wants to watch it but it annoys me that once the killers get revealed they have to do creepy killer voice...idk its off putting, the first killer did that also. I enjoyed the season but I would have enjoyed it more if I didnt wait week to week to watch the episodes I think.
This season was a 3/4 out of 5 because of the slow start.
Will be reviewing a new show called idk yet, I forgot what it was but it picks on Millennials and how coddled they are and I believe its on ABC or something. They did a test screening for Millennials(probably college aged kids 24 and under or so) even though I count as a Millennial and i guess it pissed all of them off and they said good the shows perfect then haha.
Real Practice Tests Today: 839/1,170 Correct (71.7%) Total: 1,190/1,670 Correct (71.2%)
Whew. That's a lot. New test questions were posted so I wanted to go overboard today and still not have as much to do tomorrow. Now I "only" have 545 questions to do tomorrow! It'll seem like cake in comparison to the 1,170 I did today. Literally studied for 10+ hours today. That also includes the cards that are coming up for review on myspaced repetition app lol. I still have to memorize the cards for the last chapter of my book, btw. I'll do it next week... got no time for that right now.
Ball game last night. Was interesting that I didn't go in with the usual fire. Being out for a couple of weeks with the chest infection and my sore ribs I basically just wanted to get a decent run in. Game ended in a draw though in the most frustrating way. Our guards had an absolute refusal to guard their main and only scorer who dropped 6 3's. Even with that we're up by 1 with 30s to go and one of our guys shoots an unnecessary 3 from the corner, misses but gets his own rebound and then proceeds to throw a behind the back pass that goes straight out of bounds. They go down and hit a 3 with 10 seconds to go and we managed to scrape a bucket in with a few seconds left. I know it's not the NBA but people can be frustrating to play with sometimes.
damn.
is there an explanation for people who don't play hard defense? I never understood it.. I took so much pride in defense. I mean, what fun is scoring etc, if you're letting some dude just score all over you ... not sure how people don't take more pride in defense than offense.
as for the behind the back pass that went out of bounds, really late in the game.. remember this?
Quote
I felt ok. Ribs hurt like a bitch for the first 5 minutes and then didn't feel them again till after the match. Happy with the run although I had limited hops but that's to be expected on recent training form. Feel like I should be pretty much back to normal by next week and will be able to begin my run at it again.
nice! being sick sucks.. just trick yourself into thinking you took a nice 2 week deload.
rib/intercostal injuries can be a real pain in the ass.. i've had a few of them. When I get them, I can't run at all. I would have been complete toast in that basketball game you played.. Jogging/running is completely impossible. Just be careful with it, don't want it to become "more chronic".
still not really able to push myself. mid back was wigging out a little yesterday after the workout and was again today during. something to be wary of.
maybe hit up some high rep 45 deg hypers, prone alternating superman, prone cobras etc?
that mid back thing has been nagging for a while .. i mean it's definitely a good thing that it isn't the lower back, but still, sucks.
man i laughed so hard.. saw this dude's comment on a dunk vid, saying "check out my dunks".. so i go on his channel and click on a video. before watching the video, this comment catches my eye:

Plexicity2 days ago Bro I swear to god your the most savage nigga I've ever seen. At first you where like "lemmie take the shirt off so I can windmill this shit" after that you failed to do the under the legs dunk so your response was "Fuck these pants. This shit is weighing me down." Then you fucking dunked in your underwear. Jeez dude wtf.😂 Reply 1
Isaiah Springer Isaiah Springer2 days ago Haha I don't give up lol
Nice man! I just bought myself the NCAA Spalding ball and pumped it to the max.
nice! how's the bounce on it? if you need it to bounce even higher, leave it in a car with the windows up for a several hours (~2-6 hours or so).. it really helps hah! that even helps my crap flat ball.
a veteran lob trick...
Been meaning to respond to this. Happy birthday! Bounces pretty well, so much so that no one wants to play with it at the park haha. I'll definitely remember that trick.
hah nice. that's great actually. no fuss of having to tell people "no".
Can't quite get high enough for lobs but hopefully soon!
yup. and keep practicing them, even if it's just a few reps. I think initially people feel an 'inhibitory effect' when trying to time the ball during lobbing etc. But, with a bit more practice, that should disappear quickly.. Eventually, with enough practice/proficiency, I think a lob then becomes stimulatory -> helps you get a little bit higher sometimes. That's been my experience at least.
And for people struggling with lobs, i've mentioned this before.. just work on the lob itself, trying to get it to bounce slightly above the rim and just in front or to the side, and do your runup + submax jump and basically just try to get the ball and simply tap the rim.
As for "low lobbing", I definitely have to get better with that. That's always been a problem for me but, mostly because I was always trying to catch the highest jump/dunk possible. Since that is basically out of my mind, I want to add low-lobs into the mix.. low lobs are better for tricks/windmills etc. High lobs are perfect for max vert/power dunks.
That's a great point on lobs becoming stimulatory, you sort of become Pavlov and the dog lol! I'm slowly trying to work my confidence into them.
For sure man, Nick Ross seems to be a low lob master. A mix of the two would be awesome.
ya it gives you something to chase.. eventually once you get really good at them, you forget completely about the lob itself, and you just go get it.
I feel you on running. I honestly enjoy changing changing up sports seasonally so I can enjoy them without it becoming a burden.
ya.. I think i've been most consistent with jumping & basketball. Growing up, I was never bored with basketball. Never needed a break. I finally stopped playing because I just couldn't resist getting injured - lots of contact injuries, just too brittle. As for jumping/dunking, I went hard af with that for ~4-5 years. Really loved it.. Thought about it alot when I got away from it (and became unathletic).
As for running, sprinting, lifting, tennis, etc.. I go through phases with that stuff.. I guess I just don't enjoy it as much as jumping/basketball.
I like to switch things up too, especially my training. But we're lucky if we find things (big endeavors) we don't actually want to switch up.
I guess deep down I "regret" not sticking with dunking after I hit my peak in 2012.. I also regret not sticking with the computer security related stuff I was doing from 1996-2005. *IF* I could re-write history, I would stick with both of those things instead of drifting away. Though, by drifting away from computer security, I actually changed my major to exercise science and that eventually lead me to pursue improving my athleticism/vert/dunking because of my "new understanding" of sports science... funny how these things work.
pc!!
Definitely seems like there's a tradeoff between sticking with something and likely becoming more successful or changing things up and gaining new experiences. I think both are valuable, its a matter of personal preference.
i compared the quality between that video i just posted (taken from my s7) and my old dunk videos taken from my canon hv30 .. man my s7 destroys my canon hv30 and i'm not even using it optimally yet.
crazy

I can't wait to play ball this weekend and practice some self lobs.
ooo!!! nice!
you got a really bouncy ball? so much easier with one.
regarding to the GHR... I do have access to a reverse hyper equipment (45 degree)
45 degree reverse hyper? did you mean the equipment in the video? that would be 45 degree hyper.
a true reverse hyper 'machine' is pretty rare.. but those can be very effective, especially for back & glute tightness/weakness. I used to love using it to "fix my back".

how is this even consider as a GHR ( poor version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M-YCXZjetg <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M-YCXZjetg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M-YCXZjetg</a>
ya that definitely isn't a poor man's glute ham.. hehe!! funny.
last night's sleep: ~7 hours last night fell asleep: ~4 AM wakeup = 11 AM bw = 149 lb. morning resting heart rate = didn't measure soreness = hamstrings slightly, glutes aches = left heel barely injuries = none standing desk (when on computer): none feel = good water = alot
Food
12 PM
- english muffin with peanut butter - green tea - several birthday chocolates
Session: Evening
4:30 PM - shoes: worn out saucony - double mid socks - so decent cushion - crazy hot
run to court: ~0.85 mi @ 6:30 pace - rough but also wasn't going max - tried staying on midfoot, felt bouncy - lots of wind and hot as hell
jumps: - submax, weak - left leg/hip dead - ~20 jumps each (L-SLRVJ & R-SLRVJ) - L-SLRVJ: mostly 10'4"s - R-SLRVJ: just backboard touches
sprints home: - 7 submax sprints - first 3 warmup, increasing intensity - 4th was fast but not max effort: hit 16.3 mph according to my watch .. this is actually really good, happy with it. First time i've gone that fast since tweaking my hamstring a few weeks back.. felt good so.. going to take it slow and not 100% max out for quite some time, but still want to build my speed. - ^^ my best is MAX EFFORT 18.x mph.. I would love to get to near-max effort 18 mph & submax 17 mph. - hit a few more 15.9 mph's
S1: high rep half squat: - 135 lb. x 10 - 135 lb. x 30 - several off pins, so deeper than my normal half squat - pretty dead after that 30 repper... felt great though
S1: single leg hops while holding other leg in quad stretch: 2 x 50 each leg - love how these feel.. feel amazing actually.. wtf
had a nice coding breakthrough today.. the forum app right now is pretty slow on my local environment.. it's alot faster on this server. anyway, i've been doing some optimizations which sped it up a little.. then, I implemented concurrent queries which sped it up significantly, 33% on every API route.. that's pretty major. so, extremely happy with that.
and all it took was simply installing the lifted-async package, and changing my:
forM / mapM's
to
forConcurrently / mapConcurrently
literally that single name change, and boom.. 33% speed up across the entire app, even without REAL optimizations. That's absolutely awesome.. optimizing the queries will make them uglier, so I want to avoid that right now.
Aghh, I wish she hadn't fallen and won it running through....she might have got it anyway but I've seen it happen where a dive at the finish probably makes the difference.
ya after watching the replay, it looked like she didn't need to dive. when I saw it live, it looked like the dive won it for her. When Felix was coming back to (almost?) take the lead, it was nuts - i was freaking out.
Yeah... Hard to say about the dive... Personally not a fan of diving... It can win a race in hurdles or slower races - women's 400m is certainly borderline... I mean Felix is running a probably around 13 sec hundred pace at the end of the race... Between 7-8 meters a second, does diving really make a difference then? I dunno if it actually does BUT it is probably better than a mistimed lean!
Funny that Felix is brought up in a thread where the side conversation is athletic potential...
I'm sorry but her race strategy and training is terrible. Felix jogged 48.x in the semi. She is a 21.x 200m runner. With the right training she could easily go 47.9. Her coach Bobby Kersee really isn't getting the most out of her IMO. I've done a ton of training with the members of the group and his basic strategy to making athletes is to get fast athletes and make them run around and around and around the track. It's speed endurance to death. Then he gives them the same failed race strategy lashawn Merrit used - just wait and rely on the fact that you have more endurance and will be fresh in the end... Well it doesn't work in the 200 and it doesn't always work anymore in the 400m... Merritt's case is excusable cause he lost to a WR - but Felix lost to a 49.5 which is nothing for her... She waited, sized her up and looked far better finishing... But that didn't win her the race... I'm not surprised because she did hardly any speed work leading up to the olympics. What is sad is I know her coach convinced her not to double 200/400 and focus on the 400 for a guarenteed medal... How ironic that had she kept the 200 she probably wouldn't have neglected the speed work she needed to win the 400...
crazy.
would like to see the difference between Felix & Niekerk's training.
Sorry, correction. Just talked to the training group today... Last year was when her coach had her drop the 200m for the 400m for world championships. She did basically all speed endurance... This year she had an ankle injury in the weight room and basically missed out on what was going to be an abbreviated amount of speed work for the 200m (still a mistake imo). She did try to qualify for the 200m and 400m at USA trials...
Here is the most tragic thing about it. Felix missed out on the 200m spot and got 4th by 100th of a second. The girl who got third and "beat" her... SHE DOVE across the line...
Wow... In the opinion of many including myself Prandini didn't even get her torso in front of the line before Felix... Basically she was robbed by a dive that wasn't even legit...
Truly a gracious loser by how she doesn't mention how frustrating it must be...

would like to see the difference between Felix & Niekerk's training.
I don't know much about WVN training but I know exactly what Felix does and it's a ridiculous amount of speed endurance work. The attitude is that "she already has speed - let's make her strong" and I think it's a poor strategy...
I think WVN might cause another revolution in 400m training. I'm not sure if your aware of the history of the event but the race has evolved a lot. In the 1920's the 400m was run in around 50 seconds by men. Sure the 1920's were slow for all events, but the guys ran the hundred in about 10.5 so relatively the 400m was very slow...
This is because in the 1920s the 400m was thought to be a "long race" - similar to the mile or the 800m. Ideal race strategy was thought to be slow gamesmanship for the first 250m while holding back and allowing a sprint finish. Athletes routinely negative split the race (second half faster). Then in 1924 an athlete threw caution to the wind and sprinted the first 200m and set the new WR at 47.x. Athletes then realized the 400m was a sprint of sorts and everyone's times got faster...
IMO there is still a hangover to this old thinking in the 400m. If you watch Merrit and James run the 400m behind WVN you notice some troubling things... He runs 10.7, 9.8 for the first 200m and 10.5, 12.0 to finish. I don't have their exact splits but they are pretty consistent at running about 21 low, so I would imagine they are running about 10.7, 10.2 or so and are about 5 meters behind him (0.4 seconds)....
However, if you watch the race they come off the turn EVEN with him. This means that they ran pretty close SUB 10 for the back curve. This is unheard of and it makes no sense to waste that much energy on a turn... Then in the last hundred WVN is dead but they are completely unable to keep up and run probably the slowest last 100m even for a sub 44 race (has to be around 12.7). Why do they do this?
Because they follow the classic coaching (that Allyson Felix also follows). That is push hard at the start, relax off the curve, float down the back straight, push into the turn and make your move on the last 150m - catch whoever you need to catch by the straight and rely on your superior strength to carry you through...
WVN on the other hand doesn't float down the back straight - he flys down the back straight. He runs the first 200m in only 0.5 worse than his 200m PR and then the "easiest' part of race is the back curve where he dials back ever so slightly so he can finish the last hundred without being completely out of gas...
Not surprising that WVN started running these times when he actually started running 100m and 200m seriously. Speed is the dominant force in even the 400m - athletes are fit enough to run much faster initial 200m splits than they realize. I think this is something that needs to be looked at... IMO more proof of this comes from the fact that athletes occasionally run out of their mind 400m splits in the 4x400. Sure you don't have to start but a walking handoff doesn't explain how a 48 second guy splits 46. What does explain it is that he runs faster than usual in the first 200m to get in front of the guy he has to catch - then surprisingly he is able to hold on far more than he thought...
damn thanks for that info. had no idea how the 400m was run way back.
All of that makes WVN's performance even more spectacular... Seems like he might have created a major turning point in 400m once again.. that's really remarkable considering it's 2016.
The only thing that would potentially blow that away would be sub-19s in the 200m by Bolt.. I don't see that happening but, that would end up being the ultimate story of the olympics.
Man imagine if WVN had gotten 42.9x ... 43.03, so close.. absolutely incredible.
I think it's more likely AI could take hits well considering he was tiny in the NBA and he got bodied up and banged up all the time but yet his resilience allowed him to play through numerous injuries.
regarding boxing: ya but direct shots to the jaw is a completely different animal.. ;f no way to know until someone actually gets in a ring and takes shots. you could be one of the toughest SOB's on the planet but have a glass jaw, it's a weird thing. There's been elite professional boxers who suffer from this; a current example is Amir Khan. Insane skills .. but if you catch him on the chin, good night.
Thank you. This misconception that boxers who can take hits are tough or that their is any evidence that AI could take a punch is really frustrating... I've boxed enough to know that their isn't much like getting your bell rung in the ring - and certainly not anything in basketball. The brain accelerating in the skull and causing you to go to sleep is just completely different. If you can take anything other than boxing as evidence that someone can take a punch it would be something like how some guys just pop right up after helmet to helmet hits or something completely unrelated like how some people can be black out drunk and still functioning...
I've had one major concussion in my life and it was when an interception was thrown underneath and I was away from the play (I had run a deep go route) and jogging back toward the play when a linebacker blindsided me - I remember being lifted off my feet and the crazy feeling of my head just snapping - what I don't remember was my head hitting the ground when I landed. I got up, walked to the sideline said something unintelligible and thouht I could still play ( I remember none of this ). It was only when I couldn't answer basic questions that people realized something was wrong... It wasn't for a few days that I really had my memory back and started puking a ton that night - I'm really glad I didn't go back in the game... Does this mean I can take a punch? Maybe.. That's the scary thing about taking a punch - your brain IS concussed when you take a massive shot. Some people like Amir Khan go to sleep when this happens. Other people get into a semi-lucid state where they are able to box or play football until they get their wits back. To some extent the ability to take a punch is really the ability to subject yourself to trauma when your already in a dangerous state... The safest constitution for a fighter is to be the guy who is out cold after a big blow and then back up in 10 seconds feeling totally fine and angry that the fight is over... Not a good trait for winning boxing fights - but a very good display of your brain protecting itself...
damn @ being concussed in football. did you end up getting migraines and such?
i've never had migraines in my life, other than when I boxed.. that started to worry me a bit. I got my bell rung once in all-out-sparring, that was an interesting experience.. I really didn't understand what "getting your bell rung" actually meant, until that moment. I basically went on defense & kept moving, as all I could hear was a high pitched ringing sound.. I felt like I was being hunted... or like I was just in a bomb blast in a scene from some movie, HEH!
My chin seems decent but it's definitely not bionic. I got knocked down once from a chin shot (and a few times from body shots, those were 10000x worse lmao).. I don't remember anything other than just out of nowhere i'm on the ground and I sprung up to continue fighting, but they broke it up. Pretty crazy to just go "blank".. out of nowhere your computer sleeps & restores. That hit you took was more like a reboot, RAM = toast.
FWIW, i'm glad I didn't continue boxing.. I'm not sure if it did any actual damage to my brain but it could have.. and I've chosen fields that have me relying on my brain alot. My focus/brain power definitely seems to have diminished since my early 20's, but that's probably normal & due to aging etc. But i've taken some serious head shots (in boxing & basketball - head to head collisions) that have always made me wonder.

On a side note, I wonder if there's any research as to why Mexican boxer's have such good chins.
This is a long discussed topic. It get's pretty racist pretty quickly inside of the boxing gyms I know of... Despite the fact the best chin of all time belong to Marvin Hagler you hear coaches say things like "blacks have skill but no chin". There are weak and strong chins of every race. I think the Mexican strong chin stereotype is just that - a stereotype that is reinforced by confirmation bias and socio-cultural reasons...
I think that people with truly iron jaws are a very small minority of people. The average guy probably has a glass jaw. Since being born with a strong chin seems to be completely luck we see the weakest chins on people like Amir Khan - boxing prodigies who started early. No way to know if a kid has a strong chin and odds are - he doesn't He won't be exposed because of his skill level until he gets pretty far up but then you will find out whether he has an iron chin and odds are that he doesn't.
The difference with a lot of mexican boxers is that you don't have necessarily the hand picked prodigies (floyd, amir khan, etc) that develop amazing skill from a young age (other than Hector Camacho jr most of them came from pretty rough backgrounds). That and the fact that their culture has a sense of machismo and a traditional boxing style where you are supposed to stand and take a punch like a man means that out of the thousands of poverty stricken unskilled mexicans that try to box to get out of poverty - the only ones that do are the ones that can take a punch... Those who can are developed into boxer which makes it seem like they have naturally stronger chins. That and confirmation bias does the rest.
ya i wasn't even thinking when I typed it.. I'd agree with that. great response. glad you called me out on it.
