re-posting .. man this was so good. turned out near perfect.. the after-taste was awesome, lasted a long time.



looks like art to me.. but maybe that's just me.

:D




pretty tired today because of the sleep schedule wreckage. got lots of programming done though. hopefully i can pass out soon and wakeup early again. I definitely prefer it over staying up late. dogs like it too, they get to play alot more.

How do you find those full court run ups?

I liked them. First time ever performing runups from that far. I tried to build speed for the entire runup, but sometimes I had to re-gather myself.

I also didn't attempt to build maximum speed (but speed was decent) or do a max effort jump, so it was probably alot easier because of that. But even so, I can feel it breaking a "mental barrier" in a sense. I haven't had the confidence to even attempt runups from that far out, so simply feeling confident about attempting it was interesting.

Quote
I want to try these soon as it mimics what I usually experience in games when I have attempted dunks.

ya makes sense. i'd start with half court first though.. if you still want to do full court, could run slow until half court, then build the runup from there.. but i wouldn't try accelerating from full court right from the getgo.. i imagine you'd feel lots of "inhibition" if you try to runup from too far out.

pc!

Yes it's that mental barrier/inhibition that I get. Like if I go faster I'll be out of control.
I imagine half court would be enough though. When I get on a fast break and I build speed and go into a layup relaxed I get plenty of height. It's pushing for that extra few inches that's the problem.

not thinking is important.. those amazing in-game jumps that happen out of nowhere ... not thinking.

wish i could turn off my conscious temporarily and just explode. maybe it would be less enjoyable, but, that's what video cameras are for (playing it back .. :)

I do it but my problem is I don't even think about dunking. Did a fast break layup last week and probably had enough height to easily dunk it but in my mind all I'm thinking is layup. When I think dunk I tense up. I just think more dunking practice is in order.

ya, longer runup jumps and dunk practice will definitely help. need to make it more of a 'reflex', because if we think about dunking in game, too much, can really turn us into crap bball players. Everyone's played with those people who are only looking for dunks, it's usually annoying. hah.

Tomorrow is just a 20 minute run on the track, just getting in a little bit of some final volume, going to focus on a little bit of speed but just mainly form(as much as Ik) and just trying to keep a relaxed pace and heart rate.  I have the 1.5 mile run on wednesday so a 20 minute run should be 2.xx miles, looking for 17 minutes range for 2 miles tomorrow.

Also, I think I am catching the crossfit fever again, the women are just so hot lol  The skandinavian women, just think about the genetics potential there for a future powerlifter, strongman or crossfitter.

trying to find that perfect soul for your seed to sprout? lul.

ya those xfit chicks are ridic. I personally still prefer T&F women.

didn't get the job :(

was told the department had an excellent response from me but they decided to go with someone who fits the job better

well shit, at least it means i can fake my way to a job with 3+ years experience and i have zero... i've learned enough from my MS degree and these certs that I appear to have a ton of knowledge from experience as well.

damn!! that's unfortunate.

all good though, sounds like you'll land something solid fairly soon.. especially if you keep certing up.. :f

I remember the wave of penis jokes this video brought when it was posted lol

jumping with a hardon aint ez. props to ac.

Seriously i still hate that video so much. A bunch of still frames in a video. I honestly want to see the footage of him hanging onto the rim and falling off/posing. Just sounds so damn dangerous.

also, i'd actually give him some respect if he just came out and finally admitted bs'n everyone.. if he came out with actual footage and proved me (and so many others wrong), i'd easily apologize.

truth wins.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 20,20

- one-step RVJ x 5

*remove vest*

- DLRVJ dunk attempts x ~15
got a buddy to throw lobs. put one through the net but kind of bobbled the ball in, doesn't quite count. close on a few others. timing is hard. kind of messed up my shoulder on the 12th or 13th jump and couldn't get up quite as high after that so called it.

- one-on-one x 20 mins
i lost, lol. blame it on the tired legs.

gonna play tennis with my dad in a couple hours.

- tennis x 60 mins
whipped my dad, 6-1 (and the 1 was mostly unforced errors). this is as it should be, i'm 35 years younger than he is. it was hot as shit, i have a headache now. similar to one i got a few weeks back after sweating like crazy in the gym earlier in the day. i was vigilant about hydration today, too.

Have you ever had or gotten close to having some sort of heat stroke/exhaustion?  I was extremely close to having it at the academy just from standing in line nut to butt with everyone in a 95 degree building(Prisons aren't air conditioned).  After almost passing out, if I'm in the heat doing anything for a bit I start to get a sick feeling and this is a year or so after and I still get it.

I got some form of heatstroke once (no idea what it really was).. I remember it pretty clear. It was in ~2003 or so, was playing basketball outside during a hot summer day (sunday). After a few games I sat down against the fence and then something hit me, started getting really dizzy & weak.. could barely get up. I was so thirsty but the water fountain was broken. A few dudes went to a vending machine and got me a few sprites. Just sat there drinking them and eventually recovered. Then went home and just slept all day.

Put on some cleats, ran some sprints with the dog. Chased her around doing some lateral agility stuff too. I gotta do this more. A few max effort daily sprints will add up.

nice! that is probably the most fun training.. awesome.

i used to do that with "gizmo" (my 9 lb. silky terrier), back when I was near peak performance. That little dog ended up becoming too fast for me. So fast that I had to stop, because he'd keep trying to mess with me by trying to run outside of the park/area we were in, and get to the street.. so it just became too dangerous.

so funny though that some 9 lb. little dog eventually destroyed me on agility etc.. fwiw though, he's abnormally impressive (athletically) for his breed.

Yeah I have a husky.

nice!! those seem like really loyal/intelligent dogs, from what i've seen at the dog parks.

Quote
You always have to keep that breed of dog on a leash because they run away if you don't use one.

had no idea.. hah

Quote
Having to hold a leash is probably making my sprint sessions ineffective lol.

dno, sounds kind of primal too though. could trigger some beast genetics in you. ;f
