Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Stretching while sleeping
« on: May 28, 2016, 12:24:22 pm »
i've thought about falling asleep in a stretch before but i'd never do it.. sounds like a very bad idea.
last night i did fall asleep in a stretch (right hip/sacral spine).. I did it purposefully. however, it was just a normal ROM for most people, lying on my side with knees slightly bent and one foot cross over the other.. it stretches the F out of some glute/erectors originating in my sacral spine.. felt damn good when I woke up.
some people have actually done (contemplated) some crazy shit though:
- http://kitlaughlin.com/forums/index.php?/topic/632-stretch-experiment-sleeping-in-a-stretch/
- http://www.coolrunning.com.au/forums/?showtopic=18269
i bet there's a ton more out there.
the part about potentially losing a limb makes sense..

right hip flexor started feeling bad after the run..
6. 0.56 mi in 3:39
- felt dead and just was like F it.. hip flexor didn't bug during the run, but it was on my mind so i just shut it down.
- i need to make sure I don't run slow.
- only good thing is I felt very slow and was still running 6:32 pace
had some potential stomach cramps and that weird chest/rib cramp thing going on, but mostly during warmup runs.. actual mile sprint the left rib thing would surface and disappear, but very slight, nothing major.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / The T0ddday Method
« on: May 27, 2016, 09:36:36 pm »
people always end up asking what is this "T0ddday method". Deserves it's own thread + sticky.
from what I recall, T0ddday & LBSS worked together on this technique. Then LBSS named it after him. (correction?)
From something LBSS posted:
http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/from-bull-to-beast-hopefully/msg118231/#msg118231
if there's some more detailed posts, or something that deserves to be in this OP, let me know and i'll update.

1. do a standing jump.
2. walk back and do a one-step jump. if it's higher than your SVJ, then proceed to 3. if not, continue doing one-step jumps, messing with your approach, trying different amounts of knee bend, different distances, etc., until one-step is higher than SVJ.
3. walk back a little farther and do a two-step jump. if this is higher than your one-step, proceed to 4. if not, repeat the second part of 2.
4. walk back a little farther and do a three-step jump. proceed as above.
5. etc., until the extra step no longer gets you any higher.
you are not allowed to add a step until that step consistently gives you more height over previous steps. this isn't that specific to basketball, because it grooves a very specific pattern. but if you're just trying to dunk anything at all under perfect circumstances (join the club!), then it's a good method.
if there's some more detailed posts, or something that deserves to be in this OP, let me know and i'll update.

that $hit gets me hype.
they stole the fan intro from my Schizo dunk mix though.
i might have posted this before.. but just heard it in some other vid and had to go play the official version. ;f

endomondo actually says my best 1-mile walking is 12:11.. but that's when I ran at the end due to lightning haha.. I ran ~0.2 mi @ ~11+ mph.. funny considering I can probably beat that time eventually by just walking.

i've cut out ice cream (for the most part) and removed grains (couscous) from my stir fry meals.. kind of had to though because i'd start packing on the weight since i'm not doing as much volume running anymore.. feels great so far though. I'd still like to see if I could get into the low 140's.
walking definitely helps. straight up fat burn session without any CNS fatigue.

wakeup = 1:30 PM
bw = 148
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves moderate, hamstrings moderate, back/lower back slightly
aches = left heel slightly
injuries = toenails slightly wrekt, right hip flexor slightly (~tendonitis), left hip flexor very slightly
standing desk (when on computer): none
feel = good
water = alot
Food
1:30 PM

5 PM
- beet + berry juice pre-made drink
- almond joy
Session: Evening
7:15 PM
- wanted to do 3 laps (9 miles) but only did 2, got too dark.
walk + studying:
- 6.35 mi in 1h:27m:46s
- some good studying, mostly "types and programming languages" notes.
- walked 2 miles moderate, walked hard, repeat once more
- speed: 4.3 mph
- pace: 13:50 min/mi
- splits:
1. 14:41 min/mi
2. 14:05 min/mi
3. 12:53 min/mi
4. 14:07 min/mi
5. 14:16 min/mi
6. 12:52 min/mi
7. ~rest: ~13:50 min/mi
soo.. two PR's.. finally got under 13 minutes for one mile. Felt so powerful/fast (walking). Mile #3 was a PR by ~16s, then mile #6 was a PR by 1s.
so that's ~4.7 mph for each of those miles.. getting closer to 5mph for an entire mile.
hit 5 mph several times & 5.1 mph a few times, and 5.2 mph once:
-
- fastest i've walked MAX was 4.9 mph, according to my watch.. so this is the first time breaking the 5mph barrier.
it was amazing out too.. studying + walking + amazing weather + beautiful sunset; solid combo.
left heel feels it when I walk powerfully.
THRUST FORCE -> IMPROVING.

Food
10:30 PM
- 2% milk
- biscotti
Session: Stretching
11 PM
- some light stretching
- ~1-2s holds, mostly quads/hip flexors
- just kept alternating etc
got tons of programming done today.
hamstrings feel very sore right now... but still have some serious flexibility improvements in them. un-stretched flexibility is now middle knuckles on the ground during standing hamstring.. that's an improvement from barely fingertips (or no fingertips) initially without any prior stretching.
hopefully feel good enough to run tomorrow.. might run with the wind for a change just to see if I can fly.

solid game. GSW almost threw it away in the last minute though. man if Durant had hit that 3-pointer, would have been 114-111..
Curry really showed up, but mostly in his driving to the hoop.. that was the difference maker in his game tonight. He didn't just settle for 3's.. needs to do that again on Saturday (?).
I loved that one sign that lady was holding up: "See you on Monday" hah.
Durant/Westbrook had some crap combined field goal percentage. If those shots had gone in, obviously the story would have been different. Even with such shit fg%, they were a few shots away from winning.. that's kind of scary going into game 6 :f
damn that sux.. lul.

going to move all of the journals in the "quitters" section back into progress journals... so if you see the progress subforum filling up, that is why.
I don't imagine anyone will have a problem with that? It's sort of become an "eye sore" when I load the forum up. It was supposed to be a reminder for people to keep busting their ass etc, but honestly, at this point it's just useless (in my humble opinion). Just going to move all of those journals back and remove that subforum.
pC!
edit: there are sooo many journals in there it's ridiculous.
