« on: June 12, 2016, 12:17:00 pm »I remember you saying how you didn't like high top shoes for jumping, but I think you were a two foot jumper before. You think that you would do fine with high tops for one foot jumping? It seems like there's little to no dorsiflexion when you jump off one, so high tops shouldn't be a problem.
yo!
Well, I just don't like basketball shoes at all; high, mid, or low. If I have to wear basketball shoes, they would be low.
Alot of it is mental, I just hate how they feel. Some of it is physical; they are heavy, slow me down, and I don't like how my ankle feels in them when I jump maximally.
Plus, how can I run, then get my jumps in? I have to wear shoes that are strong enough for both, but light/proper enough to run in. So, this kind of defaults me to jumping in running shoes (more preferably, XC flats).
You make a good point regarding dorsi-flexion.
The biggest concern with jumping in XC flats, that i've experienced, is your feet themselves. Much easier to injure your heel, plantar fascia, toenails etc when jumping in such light shoes. However, when I dunked with DLRVJ, I was so adapted to my nike zoom waffle racers (XC flats) that I never had any issues, and DLRVJ is arguably much more intense on the feet/ankles than SLRVJ when it comes to jumping - especially with my side plant that I had, which had alot of 'ankle rolling'.
One thing I have wondered about is, whether or not I would get up higher in basketball shoes (if I just stuck with them completely), since they are so much stronger. It's possible, but, since all of my major PR's have come in XC flats AND they feel SO MUCH better to me, I just don't feel the need to experiment with basketball shoes anymore.
I think the highest I ever jumped in basketball shoes was a 10'10 touch.. a few months later, though stronger/more explosive, I hit 11' in XC flats.. haven't turned back since.
I think it makes even more sense though, that SLRVJ in XC flats will be better than DLRVJ in XC flats. Just less time on the ground, less of an intense lateral plant, less ankle mobility required, etc.
The last factor is $$. XC flats are CHEAP. My Nike Zoom Waffle Racers used to cost me 29-39$. Right now, my NB XC900's cost me 49-59$.
Since i'm not playing basketball, just jumping (and eventually dunking), I just don't see the need for the extra support/heavyness of basketball shoes.

Boxing / Lomachenko vs Martinez
« on: June 12, 2016, 12:00:56 pm »
1:50.. NASTY KO.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bY08GUPEPY#t=1m50s
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bY08GUPEPY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bY08GUPEPY</a>
Lomachenko looked superb like usual. Such a freak. He moves & throws combos like Pacquiao, but has defense like Floyd. His handspeed seems similar to them also. Can't wait for the Salido rematch, hope he KO's Salido this time. Should be a tough fight though.
As for the Verdejo fight.. I still like him alot but, less than before. He has so many chances for brutal counters but he misses completely with wide wild shots. Those wild shots are blazing fast but, he needs to tighten that up and connect. Not sure what he's doing.. maybe he's just caught up in trying to impress on HBO.

ever since 2004, I just can't imagine USA having a lock on it.

that roster is pretty solid.
curious to see the roaster for 2016, coming out soon apparently.. the candidate list is decent but I think it's definitely more on the level of that 2004 team:

and we all know, everyone wants USA's head in basketball. should be interesting.

« on: June 11, 2016, 11:21:48 am »Played phone tag with this company for two weeks now for a technology advisory intern position. glad they kept so long to contact me, makes it seem like they really want me. finally spoke to them, they have an open position for monday, so they want someone ASAP (doesn't mean they can start monday but that's ideal). seems like they're desperate and i have a high chance of getting it. they'll get back to me with an in person interview time/date.whoa nice.
it's an 8 month internship (ends in august) at 20% more $ than what i make right now, and its a 10min walk from my current job. they like to convert people from intern to associate upon graduation (end of dec for me) so thats nice. lots of client facing stuff, big focus on cyber security. this is great!
you interview yet?
pc
Phone interview was Thursday. I was expected an email/call Monday with an update on a time/date for an in person interview. I'll email them back Monday with a follow up. Really hope I get this. Chances are probably slimmer than I think, but man this would be a perfect opportunity to finally break into cyber security.
really nice man!! hope you get it too.
your first real sec job will probably be ridiculously fun.. i developed "political views" (anti sec side of things) that made the field more of an annoyance to me, but i'm a nutbag.. before I developed those views, I was having quite a bit of fun. loved it.

has your hip flexor been improving any, with less training frequency? mine has, which is a relief.. also not stretching it is helping. That period when I stretched it alot, made it so much worse.

Shoes / New Balance xc700v3
« on: June 11, 2016, 02:50:22 am »
Just ordered a pair of these:
I have been jumping in broken-in xc900v2's (900 vs 700), so not sure what the difference with these will be.. however, they weigh the same and basically look like the same shoe, other than the grip on the bottom, which looks better in these 700v3's.
we'll see.

literally no aches, injuries, or soreness today.. I imagine something will resurface tomorrow, but, this marks the first time in a long time, that i've felt "no issues" at all, for an entire day.

- shoes: newer xc900v2's (haven't ever jumped in these, but have been wearing them "out" for about a year, so they still actually feel new/have good grip).
run (to court):
- 0.55 mi in 3:05
- 10.8 mph, 5:34 min/mi
- felt great
jumps:
- ~30 jumps each, L-SLRVj/R-SLRVJ
- mostly submax
- a few max jumps with L-SLRVJ: hit ~10'8 3 times.. ~2" better than i've jumped since the come back
-- ^^ whole hand over rim
- PR territory for me, with L-SLRVJ height-check jumps is around 10'10" ... so i'm actually pretty close to that. though it seems in previous videos that I have gotten up higher, I always do on lobs.. so if I can end up getting 35" (11' touch) without a lob, i'll be fucking flying again...
- didn't try to push it even further past 10'8, felt happy with this and backed off.
- also did tons of jumps from various angles, even practicing 180's / one side of the hoop to the other and such, touching rim.
jumps felt so good.. very explosive.. also crazy amp'd from the caffeine.
- also finally cleared the "key" (from one side to the other), with L-SLRHJ.. did this from about ~5 ft behind the out of bounds line, and cleared it landing on one foot. Also cleared it landing on two feet from much further back, was basically a full speed ~30 yard sprint + L-SLRHJ.
run:
- 0.75 mi in 5:04
- cramped up hard at ~2minutes.. was actually running pretty good, sub 6.. cramp kicked in probably from lack of real food.
- wanted to run 5k :/
- so that ended up being a bust..
completely drenched at the end. humidity was nuts. 77F + 100% humidity at night.

extremely happy with today's jumps.. first time I really focused on jumping "fresh" in a long time. usually i've been jumping after a significant amount of running etc.. so got to see where i'm at right now with lots of caffeine in me & legs feeling bouncy/fresh.
i'm hoping I can train again sunday.. mandatory rest tomorrow, then run-emphasis on sunday. I'd like to do a bunch of tempo 400's in the afternoon session, then 5k run + a bunch of submax jumps in the evening session -> basically the opposite of today (run focus, not vert focus).
i am really loving jumping in my xc900v2's as opposed to any of my other shoes.. they just feel flatter & stronger. haven't felt my "heel" get stressed with these shoes, so I think they are the safest shoes I have right now, that I can jump in, which aren't basketball shoes.
I think i'm going to order some xc700v3's just so I have a new extra-bouncy pair, maybe when I go to my favorite indoor gym. They are pretty cheap too now, $54.99.
