bleh slept 11 hours.. horrible.

left glute still pretty sore, but, i'd like to train tonight, and thursday, and attempt PR's on sat.

Any chance you're dehydrated?  I notice when I don't get enough water I tend to sleep more and feel groggy.  You gotta be sweatin balls in Florida unless you're used to it.

ya it is possible.. though, as far as the heat, i am mostly inside with AC. florida is hot af right now.

i think it's more to do with my wrecked sleep schedule tbh.. prior to last night, I got ~7 hours sleep and I normally get 8.. and i also wokeup waaaay earlier.. so my body was wrecked.

i should find some bball's online, make sure they are lob-dunk-certified, and send them out.

my current bball is definitely not lob-dunk-certified, it has no bounce.. it's a "good outdoor spalding basketball", but it just sucks for lobs; I can throw it crazy high and it still won't bounce at rim level or higher. I might get one of those reebok bball's (from online) that I had way back, and see if it's lob-dunk-certified.

25 July2016

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #12
Park day #1


15 minutes Dynamic warmup ( including 4x100m strides ).

1*100m@100% : low 16s
-Pretty good. Only rested 3 minutes from the strides which were ~75% ( ~20s ).

10' RIM JUMPS:
SVJ : max ~25''
Dropstep : max ~29''
1-step DLRVJ : max ~28'
2-3 steps DLRVJ : max ~29''
-Nice. Everything felt better and was higher. Got a sick dropstep at 29'' but was not repeatable.  1-step was uncoordinated. 2-3 steps 29s were repeatable.Couldn't get to 30'' though.

ooo nice. drop-step 29", sounds like you'll be back to hitting 30's on your 2-3 steps DLRVJ's fairly soon.



Quote
TEMPOS:
5*150m @ 70% , starting every 2 minutes.
-Great finisher! Although i was already 1 hour in, legs felt very light. Kept going faster than planned ( 32s vs 35s ).

these sound like fun sessions.

As far as Clinton Cash goes, you can watch it and draw your own conclusions.

Some highlights were they screwed over the haitians and whenever another country wanted something, hillary and bill named their price and masked it in speeches.

It was interesting and I'm curious about the center and left leaning members opinion on it.

watch what? link?

damn..

i wonder who is prescribing HEAVY deadlifting to old people though? seems like there's lots of videos of old people deadlifting now.. 1) is it mostly a crossfit thing? 2) or are old people just deadlifting on their own? 3) are pt's prescribing it?

#2 would make sense in terms of going HEAVY.. #1 and #3 could be dangerous when having them do near 1RM lifts -> wouldn't think they'd prescribe near max deadlifting due to fear of injury/lawsuit/liability etc.

i'm all for really old people lifting.. just a little odd when it's grandparent-looking (not an old freak) belted 1-5RM deadlifts.

or am i way off?

The jumps look like 10'10'' to me, if our hand size is the same ( 8'' ).

nice!

some really old measurements pic:



hand is just short of 8"

I probably under-estimated those jumps quite a bit if I thought they were 10'8".. definitely 10'9, MAYBE 10'10.. pretty cool. I wonder if that 10'9" I hit a while back was even higher.. I guess the cool thing about estimating via hitting the rim is that, error is always on the side of being higher, not lower.. for example if we're not fully extended or our arm is angled towards the rim.

also.. i'm still not too obsessed with actually wanting to dunk. I'm more obsessed with just doing max jumps. That's kind of cool.. Will make for a bit less exciting videos in the future ;f I'd like to keep trying to get higher on my max jumps without a lob/ball etc for a while. Reminds me of jumping with a vertec, which is crazy fun..

https://www.github.com/adarqui

- I post all of my programming projects on github
- I also follow a ton of people & watch several repositories to stay up-to-date on those projects
- Github is a great site for the open source programming community
- Github is my favorite website :f


https://www.facebook.com/adarqui

- Probably my least favorite site, mostly because of how angry it makes me. If I spend alot of time on facebook, i'll end up being more angry/frustrated with police shootings, politics, poverty, etc.
- I try to stay away from facebook for the most part now, other than occasionally seeing what everyone is up to.



this forum code breaks when linking instagram urls to users, which aren't media.. too busy to fix, so wrapping in 'code' bbtags:

Code: [Select]
https://www.instagram.com/andrewdarqui/
- Only recently signed up for instagram, but enjoying it now that I have a better camera.
- I'm posting lots of food pics to help keep me motivated to cook at least one really good meal per day.. so far so good, really enjoying cooking.



https://www.endomondo.com/profile/26420622

- Not using this site as much since my running has fallen off a bit, in favor of jumping. But, this site was really valuable/fun when I was running more.. I still prefer endomondo to strava.



https://www.strava.com/athletes/adarqui

- Don't use this too much. Cool site though for people into running.



https://twitter.com/adarqui

- I never use this.. but plan to use twitter more in the future.



https://www.hackerrank.com/adarqui

- I go on binges with hackerrank, it's a really fun site. There's tons of fun puzzles etc, contests, and they actually tie in with companies now (for hiring).
- Haven't used it in a while because, I just can't justify coding puzzles and such until I get my forum/site re-write launched.



https://www.reddit.com/user/adarqui/

- I don't post anything on reddit, I just browse sub-reddits such as:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/



https://forums.t-nation.com/users/adarqui/activity

- Haven't posted there in a while.. used to enjoy creating troll threads on occasion.. ie, posting a pic of my physique and asking people there if they think i'm contest ready.. or asking them to critique my deep squat (which was really a half squat).



https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-darqui-965198a

- Don't use this much either.. but hey, LinkedIn. Probably the most annoying site i've ever seen. It's always emailing me nonsense. And every time I login, they want me to endorse people or add 1029401294 connections. Apparently my profile strength is "elite" or something though ... heh.



https://bitbucket.org/adarqui/

- Like github, but much less popular. I don't use this much. I only signed up so I could perhaps get involved with react-flux which is hosted there (instead of hosted on github).



https://travis-ci.org/adarqui/

- A continuous integration site, which can link back to your github. I need to use this WAAAY more actually. Planning to add several repos to it in the near future.



http://imgur.com/user/adarqui

- Only recently signed up for imgur.. previously, I just posted images anonymously. Now I wish I had just signed up years ago, so i'd have them all listed under my account.



will edit if I think of anything else.

didn't journal yesterday. will update it in a bit.

but basically, i'm sore AF.. and jump-specific soreness: left glute crazy sore, right erectors/lat crazy sore, upper back/shoulders sore.

and I passed out early (2AM).

i'm still tired. Need to snap out of it.

Loving the photos.

Also those jumps are looking sick. How high are you getting now?

thanks! I think the highest is ~10'9" but, I only felt 10'8" that session (from those pics).. BUT, I did hit the rim with my wrist a few times with my arm leaning forward slightly so.. that's why it could have been ~10'9" ish... and highest i've gotten since the "comeback" is 10'9" based where I hit my wrist.

so 10'9" would be ~33", based on a ~96" single arm reach. So 11' would be 36" for me.. trying to get back to 11'.

10'9" is definitely where I "maxed out" without weights.. legs don't feel strong enough to get any higher without lifting or doing tons of plyos. I was planning on going the high volume plyo route but, I just have too many little aches/tweaks, so it's not a good idea. Squatting is actually much safer soo, that's why i've caved and started squatting again.. I need my legs to "feel" stronger. They mostly just feel too weak. My quads have been getting sore lately so, that's a good sign.

pc!!





You still have the same form in the air, with your body position, as you had when you were jumping off two.

ya I noticed that too.. kind of interesting. Because remember way back, during my peak dunking, out of nowhere I started dunking with L-SLRVJ and I was getting up pretty ridiculous considering I hadn't been doing L-SLRVJ's other than really light layups. My left leg is doing most of the work, it seems ;f




your dog is shredded... <10% bf for sure  :lololol:

haha.. probably a bit more than 10%, he's a meatball. It's funny, "genetics". Apparently every pup in his litter is ~10 lb.. and here he is, ~15 lb... and could easily be ~16+ lb. if I didn't give him so much exercise and restrict his food.

his non-blood brother is ~9 lb. and is freaky reactive.. He barely eats and just maintains weight/power/strength. He's much more "efficient". He's the one which I witnessed him jumping ~24+ inches off the ground, which is almost 2x his body size lmao.
