#3) Program REST.  Like Adarq said about your CNS - you gotta watch it.  But one thing people forget is that it's OK to have a program that will fry your CNS after weeks and weeks of it.  In fact I think that's the optimal program.  You should have a program that if you did it for 15 weeks straight you will be fried.  Just don't do it for 15 weeks.  Think in blocks of minumum 3 weeks, maximum of 6 weeks.  So you have your weights, bball, jumping, track bounding that you do...  Week 1, Week 2, Week 3.   Do the submax bounds and maybe during Week 3 you allow yourself to really go all out on 1 set of each (5x multi-bound, 5x multi-single leg and alternating leg bound).  Get a PR.   Then week 4 is OFF.  If you don't want to take it off the good thing about sprinting is it's REALLY easy to deload.  You can do your bounds only with straight legs to just get blood moving.  If you have been doing 5x100m in 13 seconds you just back this off to 5x100m in 16 seconds and it becomes recovery and easy rather than damaging...

Programming REST weeks or deloading weeks into your schedule is far better than trying to program a workout that isn't too hard on your CNS.  IMO it's better to go 105%, 105%, 110%, 60% every four weeks rather than 95%, 95% 95%, 95%.   You will make better gains AND honestly 95% is too close for comfort for me...  Depending on life, work, stress (with your women sounds like you got that) you might do what you think is 95% but you are actually doing 101%, 101%, 101%, 101% and like Andrew said - this WILL catch up with you and you will stagnate, get worse, get angry and worst of all get injured.  We know what 60% is.   We hate it as athletes.  But as long as you go hard the previous three weeks think of it as just as important and also well deserved...

very nice! love this.

iphone 6 shoots 4k, does it not?

dno

my phone sucks, so that could be an option.. an upgrade would be nice. but, i also like really pro vid cameras, so not sure.. must research. ;f

regardless, i'd really like to get back into video editing.. that is something i've missed for a long time.

Doing low volume training and switching legs for sprinting is helping reduce the pain in my hip but, when at the end I have to stretch my quads, i do the standing quad stretch by grabbing my feet from behind that is extending my hips and that is the thing causing my hip pain to come up, like you mentioned in my thread, that stretching it alot made it worse, so I was wondering if you know a good quad stretch where the hip is not extended in the process.

pc

maybe try "not stretching"  :ninja:

i've barely been stretching.. every time i stretch, it makes it worse. so for now i've stopped.. and who knows, maybe i'll never stretch again HEH!

so just saying, maybe just get stretching out of your mind for a while, and keep letting it recover through less volume/frequency.. and see if it recovers even more. you can still stretch other things (hams,calves,lats,chest,shoulders etc).. but maybe lay off quads/hip flexor for a while.

i've since been able to stretch my quads slightly, but more of just like a 'micro stretch' a few times when i just felt i needed too.. nothing forced, no holds, etc.




oh man you're right back at dunking height. nice!

ya for sure, i think i could definitely land a weak one right now off lob.

i'd like to get to ~10'10 before I try some lobs though.. so basically 2 more inches and then i'll try to throw something down. Conscious 10'10" jumps should give me at least 10'11" on a lob when I chase it.

so I need to start preparing by finding or purchasing another lob-ball, super inflated.. and find a 4k HD camera.... hah.

that session where I ran 3 mi up to the court, jumped, and ran back.. need to avoid those.. that wrecked me a bit, even though i still landed some PR's yesterday.. still feel it in my shin SLIGHTLY after doing that.. it's just too much running when fatigued.. tmw i'll probably run 3 mi and jump in the evening session, but, that's mostly fine, as long as i'm not running ANOTHER 3 mi after jumping. Need to keep building running speed/endurance & jumping power, without them hurting each other.

Interestingly about Steve Kerr in a post game interview I think it was game 6, he constantly mentioned how welled paid they are (NBA players and coaches).  He said it like 5 or 6 times, I had a feeling that the league may have told him, yo it's LBJ's time let him have it, you guys have more chances down the road with the young core.  I mean the way Varejao got extend minutes in game 7?  That was very unusual.  Same with Ezeli's minutes in final minutes.  It made no sense.  Scripted series makes is very hard to watch and enjoy.

LMFAO. just like the NFL told Cam Newton and the panthers to take an L so Manning could go out with a superbowl.. these kinds of theories are absolutely nuts.

snap out of it.. :)

Goddamn.  Seriously.  This is ridiculous.  He has already filled up the forum with subtle racist BS and now his conspiracy theory's that explain why his team lost.  Grow up.  Seriously, a waste of time but here is the rundown of why your an idiot. 

1) Ok.  It's scripted.  You proved it.  So STOP watching.  Let the rest of us idiots enjoy.  The WWF is scripted.  I don't watch.  I also don't go on forums talking about the WWF and complain it's scripted.  You think it's scripted so either enjoy the script or stop watching!!! 

Funny thing is... I bet if GSW wins you wouldn't say it's scripted.  I bet if the script fits your narrative it's not scripted.  Seriously, grow the hell up.  Have you ever played a high level sport in your life?  Have you ever lined up in the blocks against people better than you?  Have you ever got in a boxing ring against a superior man?   You don't work for the Warriors, you don't have an inside view, you make no money on it... But you think it's scripted while those who actually play for the Warriors take the loss humbly and praise the better team...

But wait... You have a solution for this... The solution is Kerr is in on it.   Probably some of GSW players are in on it?   So why the hell do you support GSW?  Seriously, How are you cheering for the team that loses on purpose to get paid off?

Again, because these theories only exist as excuses the years your team loses!

2) Its not scripted.  Ever heard of the San Antonio Spurs?   Yeah.  Small market.  Horrible for TV money.  Yet they keep playing in finals at the expense of big markets...   A scripted NBA would not allow the Spurs!

3) Do you know what happened this series?  The number 1 team from each conference made finals (exactly what would be expected).   Then six blowouts.  You think referring was so scripted that it caused blowouts?  You think referees can get away with altering calls so much to cause blowouts without altering anyone but you?  Sorry but when you lose by 30 you don't complain about calls...

Now game seven.  Those same refs who orchestrated blowouts earlier keep sucking and manipulate the series to a tie game with less than a minute... Kyrie hits clutch three, chased own block, etc...

not sure how anyone could rebuttal this.. the part about, if Kerr is in on it, then why are you a GSW fan? etc.. game over.

HEH.

still so happy for Lebron.. been happy about it all day. maybe that's why my training went so good today too, just been in an extra good mood seeing him achieve this.

i used to use PVC.. after a while, got completely fine with it.. initially it was the devil though.

i like it better than my foam roller.. foam rollers are just too thick imho.. 2" pvc = perfect.

11289
If i'm being honest, you guys are right, sprinting is actually not bad on my knees. I did find bounds to be pretty hard though, especially SL ones when i did them. However, sprinting itself on grass didn't do it, running on the TM, even regular TM walking does though! Ok, i'll add in another session.

Mon: off
Tue: track, weights
Wed: off
Thu: plyos/dunks, basketball
Fri: off
Sat: track, weights
sun: pickup bball

Does that look ok? Hope i'm not biting off more than i can chew, i want a program i can stick to for 12 weeks without breaking

nice.. go4it. 3-rest-days ftw.. now it just depends on what you do in those sessions, but regardless, you can push yourself nicely with that schedule while still getting enough recovery.

Have a look at the fouls again:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVVKBIS0TM0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVVKBIS0TM0</a>

Foul 1- Legit - grabbing TT
Foul 2- Legit - still moving sidewards into Lebron- can't be a no call and wasn't a charge
Foul 3- Legit - grabbed Kyrie going around the screen
Foul 4- Legit - hand on Love's forearm as he shoots
Foul 5- Soft/no cal. Contact on the body but to be consistent should have been play on
Foul 6- Borderline. Steph gets some ball and a decent amount of Lebron's hand/wrist - either way GSW are down by 12 with 4min to go and unlikely to win anyway

Also, don't believe Steve Kerr's comments in his post game interview. He was playing the politician and trying to influence the refs in the next game. He figured a fine is worth another win to them.

As far as DG goes. He kicked Adams in the groin twice and nearly kicked someone else in the face. GSW were lucky he wasn't suspended in that series or you wouldn't have even made it to the finals. Suspensions should be made irrelevant of the game or what's on the line. It was a dog act. Lebron disrespected him yeah but also sucked him into the game too.

^^ this x100.

As far as Lebron goes as you've stated you have a genuine dislike for him. Imagine being Lebron and the amount of contact you would put up with night after night. You talk about double standards. Look at what iggy was getting away with when he was stripping Lebron of the ball in the early games. The body contact that was left uncalled throughout the series was huge and it went both ways.

If I was a GSW fan I would be looking at the stupid shit Steph did late in games (behind the back pass anyone) and the way your major players went cold down the stretch (no score in the last 4 minutes anyone) as more of a reason they lost than the NBA's money making juggernaut. CLE only scored 4 points in the last 3-4 minutes too so it was anyones.

yup

let's also not forget that the refs gave Curry a pass on some legit fouls, after he picked up his 5th.. I remember Mark Jackson and Van Gundy basically like "wtf is he doing". He was pretty careless even after picking up his 4th and 5th.. I found it odd. I remember him getting a pass on a legit foul, almost immediately after picking up his 5th.

This finals seemed legit. The worst officiating I can remember was Lakers vs Kings in the early 2000's. I could be wrong, but I remember that being the worst officiating i've ever seen. This was nowhere close to that.

Anyway I like what Coges said.. He put it in the right perspective. I don't think GSW can whine at all about officiating, considering how the GSW/OKC series went down. If Draymond was rightfully suspended in that series, would have been OKC/CLE.. so gsw fans really need to relax.  :ninja:

sorry about your wife man, sounds like a fucking roller coaster. i don't pray, but good luck with all that and hope y'all can resolve it.

x2 damn..

Here is a question for you, is there a way to get thse benefits of sprinting out of a single workout. LIke minimal effective dose kinda thing? I'm not trying to become a 32 year old rookie track star lol.

hard lmfao. srs, legit irl lmfao. dno y, just caught me.



also yes, I think you can reap benefits from "a single sprint workout" at some "wide frequency", especially if it's at maximum intensity.

ie, one (near) maximum effort sprint session per week.

i've actually changed my training drastically over the last few months, and it's somewhat related to your question.. i'm trying to approach training from more of a "minimum effective dose" angle.

ie, instead of simply adding volume & frequency to my training program, which ends up becoming more of a "brute force approach", why not actually do the opposite and remove volume/frequency, so that it's more of a "dynamic programming approach"; the dynamic programming approach being, less operations & find short cuts.. but short cuts being more related to improved performance via being more recovered, stronger CNS, etc.

so ya I think that effort is key.. it's impossible to string together 7 truly max effort sprint sessions per week. it's possible to do 2.. it's definitely possible to do 1.. that one session could potentially provide benefit, if maintained consistently (at least 1x/week) for several weeks.. if you had one "life or death" adrenaline/fight-or-flight response per week, you'd eventually be toast... just to give you an idea of a low-frequency stimulus that is too intense.

would one very submax sprint session per week result in much benefit? doubt it.

obviously, there needs to be a break in period before you can even perform (near) ME sprint sessions without wrecking yourself.. and you'd also have to be doing some other athletic "activities" during the week (like lifting/reactive work/jumps) not to detrain.

just giving my thoughts on it.

pc




I feel i'm not really able to do track twice a week without wrecking my knees tho. i get achy knees just from 10 mins of slow steady treadmill running ffs. lol. but i'll start with the session tuesday, and if i make it work, can addd in the saturday session?

slow steady treadmill might actually be more of a knee wrecker than high tempo 200's though.. plop plop plop vs bounce bounce bounce.. depends on your experience with sprinting though.. if you're plopping every stride while sprinting, then ya that will wreck your knees.

11295
That sounds so familiar. I'm sorry.

same..

it's one reason i stopped playing basketball all together (especially pick-up games/streetball).. loved the game, but, all it takes is one spazz intent on inflicting damage on someone, to wreck everything.
