53 in that video? or 53 max, at some point, in his entire life?

i dno.. I know him and t-dub have the highest verts i've ever seen. I can believe Myree has hit LEGIT > 50" in his life.. video estimated > 50" -> definitely.

I think that video does more to support his case than yours. That's one of my favorite videos, it's absolutely mind blowing. This is perhaps a better image, given the camera angle. I'm not even sure I caught it at his complete apex. Also remember these are dunks and not max RVJ's. Obviously there won't be a huge difference but I suspect he could have made us lose our shit if he max head height jumped that day, on that rim.



If his max RVJ isn't 53", then what is it? 50-52"? The thing about Myree is, I don't suspect he actually pulled that number out of his ass like Guy or Ziani do with their 59/60's. Myree seems to have a decent understanding of s&c, from what i've seen. Imagine if Guy had hops like Myree? He'd be claiming an 80" RVJ. lmao.

oh man..

conor posted on FB:

I am just trying to do my job and fight here.
I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote.
I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting.
There comes a time when you need to stop handing out flyers and get back to the damn shop.
50 world tours, 200 press conferences, 1 million interviews, 2 million photo shoots, and at the end of it all I'm left looking down the barrel of a lens, staring defeat in the face, thinking of nothing but my incorrect fight preparation. And the many distractions that led to this.
Nothing else was going through my mind.
It is time to go back and live the life that got me this life.
Sitting in a car on the way to some dump in Conneticut or somewhere, to speak to Tim and Suzie on the nobody gives a fuck morning show did not get me this life.
Talking to some lady that deep down doesn't give a fuck about what I'm doing, but just wants some sound bites so she can maybe get her little tight ass a nice raise, and I'm cool with that too, I've been giving you all raises. But I need to focus on me now.
I'm coming for my revenge here.
I flew an entire team to Portugal and to Iceland to make my adjustments in preparation and fix my errors I made with the weight and the cardio prep.
With the right adjustments and the right focus, I will finish what I started in that last fight.
I will not do this if I am back on the road handing out flyers again.
I will always play the game and play it better than anybody, but just for this one, where I am coming off a loss, I asked for some leeway where I can just train and focus. I did not shut down all media requests. I simply wanted a slight adjustment.
But it was denied.
There had been 10 million dollars allocated for the promotion of this event is what they told me.
So as a gesture of good will, I went and not only saved that 10 million dollars in promotion money, I then went and tripled it for them.
And all with one tweet.
Keep that 10 mill to promote the other bums that need it. My shows are good.
I must isolate myself now.
I am facing a taller, longer and heavier man. I need to prepare correctly this time.
I can not dance for you this time.
It is time for the other monkeys to dance. I've danced us all the way here.
Nate's little mush head looks good up on that stage these days. Stuff him in front of the camera for it.
He came in with no shit to do that last one. I'd already done press conferences, interviews and shot the ads before RDA pulled out.
Maybe I'll hit Cabo this time and skull some shots pre-fight with no obligation.
I'm doing what I need for me now.
It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way.
I feel the $400million I have generated for the company in my last three events, all inside 8 months, is enough to get me this slight leeway.
I am still ready to go for UFC 200.
I will offer, like I already did, to fly to New York for the big press conference that was scheduled, and then I will go back into training. With no distractions.
If this is not enough or they feel I have not deserved to sit this promotion run out this one time, well then I don't know what to say.
For the record also -
For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations -
I AM NOT RETIRED.

daamn.

My 2nd toenail on my left foot is insane. It's a huge hideous toenail on top of a new toenail. I need to take a pic.

got lots of coding done. 177 lines of code (using the interop lib, not the actual lib) generated 16,000. niice. Need to add the api stuff tomorrow. That should generate tons more. Got lots of stuff to figure out with this code generation project.

pC!

Notes: [/u]
Proud of myself, did a set of 5 on BS and had the self discipline to leave it at that. Nothing was to be gained by forcing some meaningless PRs on squats. Saving it for track & dunking 

nice 

On depth jumps i'm kinda meh about this exercise. I will try to increase frequency and do them twice weekly. The first one will be "intense" 2x6  off 21" and the 2nd one can be "volume" 3x8 off 12-16". That will help me separate depth jumps into strength and speed days respectively. Hopefully that gives better bang for buck.

do you have a goal overhead to reach for? ie bball rim, vertec, something? that makes depth jumping more effective & fun.. the exercise definitely becomes less meh when there's something to reach for (or even a jump matt, but no one has those).

Broad jumps .. hit a PR then had to leave immediately after. Got it on vid. Later realised i had left it on 720p and forgot to change to 1080p to get better quality. Oh well. Next time.. haha. Video below anyways.

^whaddya reckon guys .. am i improving or nah?

wish you had that exact angle for when you initially performed the exercise.. because compared to your first video, looks dramatically better now. Overall it looked good. I personally prefer the style in your last jump, which is more of an "upright bounce, with less time gathering yourself on the ground".. but that's hard to do on your first broad jump. If you were doing 5-10 broad jumps, most of them would be in the style of that last jump, which is good.

As for movement efficiency for hands/arms, ya it's definitely a thing. You ever see people who are just complete spazzes with their arms/shoulders? Your arm swing looks good overall, especially on the 2nd/3rd jumps. Your first broad jump takes a while to get going, try and be more aggressive on that first jump & see what happens.

video quality was nice.. looked like a great day out.

pc!

as far as the trans/bathroom thing goes... does it really matter if you go into the bathroom designated for your gender? I get the concern about people abusing this "acceptance" in the act of perversion.. but, that is probably going to be extremely rare AND women's bathrooms have stalls.

actual acts of indecency, perversion, sexual misconduct etc from a man entering a woman's bathroom, can lead to prosecution.. the same if a woman does so in a men's bathroom.

so I really don't get the concern.. If I walked into the men's bathroom and I saw a female, it'd be weird, i'd probably walk out to make sure i'm in the correct bathroom.. then realizing i'm in the correct bathroom, i'd go back in and handle my business. It really wouldn't bother me, afaik.

The GOP seems to always phrase it as if it's a male child predator entering a women's bathroom to violate your kid.. blatant scare tactics, as usual.

And like LBSS said..

trans people go to the bathroom because they have to take a piss, just like everyone else. more republican politicians have been arrested for sexual crimes in bathrooms than trans people.

If everything we do is framed with these artificial fears, we're so fucked. The same case can be made for leaving kids alone with priests or teachers. We're toast.

Looks to me like they promote heel strike on their runs.

ya.

i figured out what it looks like.. if you watch that vid, it basically looks like this guy is about to shit himself. as he gets closer to his destination in the city, looks like he's ready to explode.

the shoes are probably definitely promoting that weirdness I see. maybe excessive heel striking makes it look like you're going to crap yourself? i'll have to go check youtube.

lol

dude how did i miss that before. what was the context for that?!?! lol adarq looks exactly like mike miller. forgot.

also, re: health care. we have a high-functioning single-payer health care system in this country. it's called medicare. approval ratings from seniors are consistently high and costs are low. obamacare was a gigantic achievement but it left too much power in the hands of private insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and big hospital corporations.

bring on single payer.

yup

not a vid but not worth a new thread..
