We have around the same max vertical reach. I think that it's gonna take a year or so for me before I can start going to the gym to throw down lobs on 10. You think you're around that mark?

well, if I can stay healthy, I think much less than a year tbh.. at the rate i'm going right now, I might be able to throw down some weak dunks in ~3 months off L-SLRVJ.. but that all depends on whether or not I can jump consistently (injuries not getting in the way). My training is starting to converge into something that feels maintainable; with more of a focus on power/recovery than distance/volume. This is why i'm a bit more optimistic now.

I also wish I was a one foot jumper too lol.

ya I think i'm more of a natural 1-foot jumper.. or maybe it's just the "millions" of layups I did over my lifetime. After a very long period of detraining, I just feel more comfortable jumping off of one leg, rather than two. I think that's a telling sign.

Your walking PRs would look like my jogging PRs lol

damn.. i imagine my running PR's look like Mo Farah's 10% effort jogging PR's.

ya my walking is getting pretty solid.. though sometimes it wrecks my toenails.

i'm closing in on sub-40 min 5k walking PR.. I wanted that one yesterday, but fell slightly short.

- chronic knee stuff when i was fencing a lot

any idea if it was from practice drills (holds etc) or how many lunge-like movements you do when fencing someone? you'd think that wouldn't hold a candle to jump training, regarding knee stress, but daym

- "tennis elbow" for almost a year (both elbows)

uhg.. having it in one elbow sucks bad (I still have it).. seriously don't want it in both elbows at the same time.

6/5
BW: 178.8
2 hour practice/tryout: Nothing special. Hamstrings achy after every practice, gonna use the next few days to rest them.

Workout #10, GPP #6
Superset x5:
-BP:115x10, 135x8, 140x8,7,5
-Leg raises (off bench): 5x20
Pullups:8,6,4
Squat
Front Squat shoulders and back way too sunburned
Dot Drill x2: SL hops feeling real slow
SL calf raises: BW x 5 sets each leg to failure (~12-20)

6/6
Swimming: 20 laps. Getting water in my throat had to stop to cough a few times. Very slow, breathing every 4th stroke (can't do 3 cause I can only do one side and 2 is too frequent). Had to take several 30 second breaks.

Workout #11, SVJ #1
SVJ x 30: maxed out at 29", possibly 29.5". Meh, about expected. Did a single 1-step DLRVJ, felt a slight back ache.

Should be good to do some squats tomorrow.

Important question: My hamstrings feel achy after every practice but I really wanna continue my sprinting and DL's. Should I do sprints and DL's anyway? achiness is in the upper hamstring (almost glute). Last few sprint sessions I had it real bad, it almost felt like a toothache in my legs when I was sitting down for prolonged periods (driving).

people here who have had serious hamstrings pulls would probably be able to answer you better.. but, i'd say tone down the intensity on the sprints, or cut them out completely, until that feeling goes away. the "I had it real bad" phrase definitely makes it sound like you shouldn't push them maximally in a sprint session. If they are firing sub-optimally due to strain, overuse, fatigue etc, then what point would a sprint session even serve? i'd try to see if you can tone it down a bit and see if that feeling goes away/improves.

my 2cents.

Back from my trip! What an incredible 4 weeks which included LA, San Franciso, Las Vegas, San Diego and last but not least, Yosemite!

I wish I could have eaten better and trained more but these things are hard to do while travelling. Squatted twice, did not bench at all, balled twice and that's about it lol. Eating out every day for 30 days, it's hard to get enough protein .. im pretty soft now .. as i mentioned above. I need to get back in shape.

Since my gym gains are all but vanished, im open to trying out things in training i wudnt otherwise, esp while rebuilding back to where I was before May. Prob have a good 3 months ahead of me before i'm in PR territory. Maybe more, that sucks but whatever.

i seriously doubt they've vanished.. once you get back on track you'll surprise yourself. 30 days is only ~2 weeks after a 2 week deload, look at it that way..  :ninja:

To recap -- I can't believe i went to the game at Oracle Arena where GSW came back from 3-1 down to win an incredible WCF in 7. I was there! If KD hits a 3, and Westbrook has a better shooting night I could have seen OKC go thru to the finals. Incredible watching KD drop 40 points. He did everything he could have but GSW just played better as a team. They fully deserve to win the ring this year.

if there was one to go to, that could be it.. the game that started the historic run.

really cool man.. glad GSW won tho :F

a few days ago:

weird coincidence, or nostradamus moment.

a few days ago I had a dream that I saw a bunch of white UFO's in the sky, which turned out to be kites.. the next day while walking, I saw this black thing hovering WAY up in the sky for some time, and as I got closer to it, turned out to be a black kite. i've never seen a kite flying that high, must have been some professional kite people.



edit: maybe it had something to do with the race/athletics talk.  :o

tons of programming done today.. fixed some major bugs in the migration script - which is great, everything migrating good now. very fun to see the data flood in & take shape. the next few days will probably be non-stop front-end, need to keep chipping away at that. In a few days i'll probably need to start addressing some backend optimization stuff, ie; right now if I need to perform several queries for a thread: thread, user who created it, latest thread post, thread stats -> i do them all sequentially in the code.. so I can speed all of that up huge if: I do some raw custom ugly queries, or 2: I use an async/concurrency library. I'm going with option #2. There's a few things I need to modify before I implement that, but it's on my mind.. once that is implemented, I probably won't even need to optimize the front end -> it'll be so fast initially.

another thing I have to address is, migrated user registration.. if you're a new user, everything is fine.. but, if you're an existing user (migrated from this forum), need to get that to somehow link together via the email we registered with. I'm avoiding any custom login mechanism, instead everything right now is from Google or Github via OAuth2.. this is much better because you guys won't have to remember an extra password etc. I'll probably also add registration/sign in via facebook/twitter to make it even easier... but ya, linking existing accounts together is not built yet.

I should be president of the club.  Hamstring rupture, 5 hamstring strains and 3 oblique strains and double knee tendinitis gotta hold sway.

yes, that definitely qualifies you to be a member. lmao!

but, this club must remain presidentless.. the last thing I want to think abut is eventually BECOMING the president of such a club.. HEH!#!@

my brittleness really shines through in how many bones i've broken during contact injuries. I don't even want to think about full tendon tears or serious muscle tears; just thinking about that stuff wrecks me mentally.

injuries =  :raging:

This is TOTALLY broscience but it does seem to me that your either a bone breaker or a tendon or ligament guy.  I've never broken a bone in my life despite boxing, gymnastics, football, basketball and a extremely reckless child.  When I was 13 I jumped off a monument to grab onto a tree branch on a dare and didn't realize the tree branch was wet... Slipped right off and fell almost 20 feet and landed on my arm and leg and walked away.  My bones are strong as hell but my tendons snap under heavy load. 

My theory is strong bones don't break but they are heavy so they add weight to your body.  The increased load is hard for your muscles to carry around and that overloads the tendon and causes it to rupture.  This is also my explanation for why I'm so heavy - people never think I weigh more than 200lbs and are shocked when I step on the scale at 225.  I trained w LBSS and he was about as thick as me with approximately equal leanness and only an inch shorter but 40 lbs lighter...

I carry more muscle than you right now but I swear you and I could look equally muscled and I would still be 30lbs heavier...

Maybe it's just grass is always greener mentality but I think I'd rather be a bone breaker...  Bones grow back stronger than tendons do.

Quote from: LBSS on June 06, 2016, 08:02:17 pm
i'll just jump in to second t0ddday's observation. his torso is bigger, my legs are bigger but if we were both wearing long pants and long sleeves we'd look comparable. fwiw, i've only broken little bones (nose, couple fingers). and my worst traumatic impact injury was bones getting dislocated; they didn't break.

but i've had a lifetime of nagging and acute joint injuries.

edit: list format

it definitely makes sense. I haven't had many muscle tears.

The worst one I had was still from a contact injury (basketball):
- where someone kneed down into my calf as I was planting to go up for a layup.

Other than that, i've had:
- sacral spine issue (genetic, permanent)
- arm break (stupid kid stuff, ~6 y/o)
- chipped tooth (basketball, ~9 y/o)
- osgood schlatter in both knees (~13-15 y/o)
- broken ribs (dirtbike accident, ~14 y/o)
- broken finger - avulsion fracture (basketball, ~12 y/o)
- broken finger (basketball, ~13 y/o)
- broken wrist (basketball, ~16 y/o)
- broken finger (basketball, ~20 y/o)
- completely dislocated pinky toe (boxing - drills on a man barefoot, ~24 y/o)
- broken index knuckle/torn ligament (boxing, ~25 y/o)
- major bicep tendon strain (~26 y/o, sandbag deadlifts/bearhug)
- destroyed toenails (basketball, running)
- and then I pretty much stopped contact sports................  no more breaks. :ninja:

needless to say, my muscles have seemingly never been strong enough for pulls.

I've had a wide variety of small aches/injuries, ie:
- hamstring tendonitis from trying to become a natural GHR master on my natural GHR bench (never doing that again)
- knee tendonitis from cycling on a shit bike
- hamstring tendon partial tear from a stretching incident
- right elbow tendonitis from tennis/calisthenics, right adductor/hip flexor tendonitis from who knows.

edit: I've also had a few bad lacerations during basketball:
- split head open on temple @ ~19 (this one was worse, basically a faucet of blood, ~10 stitches)
- split top of forehead open two weeks later (~7 stitches)



i'm basically 146-148 right now and i'm still far from 'shredded'. I'm potentially "hollow man".. hollow-man-dunker. From my log, it's clear i'm not starving myself. So as long as i'm eating healthy and feel good, i'm willing to see how low my weight will go, naturally.. into the 'abyss'.

i dont see the warriors dropping a game on the road. clay and curry will really try to put out a good game soon.. otherwise livingston might get the finals mvp.  boo. clay deserves it for killing okc by himself.

ya I can see Curry/Klay going nuts in Cleveland.

Curry can win MVP two years in a row, but not win Finals MVP in both of those years (if they win again).. that's how good GSW is. crazy.

to me CLE's biggest mistake was the both the timing and firing of coach Blatt.  he did a good job and yet CLE didn't show him much respect.  i don't buy it one bit LBJ had nothing to do with the firing.  LBJ's on court disrespect for Blatt was clearly on display.  get the team to the Finals and fired when the team is at 30-11?  SMH.

ya Blatt's firing didn't make much sense to me.. what a tough deal for him. Now he's coaching outside the U.S..

Boxing / Re: Vargas vs Salido - WAR
« on: June 06, 2016, 05:42:41 pm »
Thanks for teh link!

I knew Vargas had heart, but, he showed even more than I expected. I thought he would end up on the losing side of the "who is the real killer" equation, which he did, but by round ~8 or so. That's when he switched up his game plan and started boxing more. It's impossible to just sit in there and go to war with Salido, that's his game.. So after seeing him do that round after round, I started to think it might not end well for Vargas. Yet, he probably hurt Salido more than Salido hurt him.

The last round was nuts.

Also, I love the fact that Lomanchenko wants a rematch with Salido.. There's no reason for him to make that fight, other than his urge to destroy Salido (who ended up beating him, but was way overweight on the scales etc). I'd love to see that again.. Lomanchenko had Salido badly hurt by the end of their first fight. If Lomanchenko wins this weekend, he might get that rematch.

Also on my runs I was able to string them together instead of stopping to walk so pretty pumped about that, not sure if its just because I lowered the speed 1mph or if Im just getting better because I didnt feel that tired during it.
