nice nice. lookin sm00v.

for bball, if you want to use it as "plyometrics", you have to treat it more as such: ie, bigger rest intervals, more explosive movements during your drills etc. can be hard with a ball though, if that becomes your weak spot, limiting your explosiveness during the drills.

it becomes less "basketball specific" in terms of conditioning, but it can work pretty well for building more reactive strength imho.

it'll never match multi response reaction drills such as repetitive tuck jumps, hurdle jumps, pogos, depth jumps etc.. but, it can build some decent reactivity.

dno my 2cents on it. when you really ramp up the intensity of dribbling, change of direction drills, explosive moves to the basket etc, it can tired you out crazy quick.

Another option for high bar squats, Manta Ray squat attachment, but TBH you could just wrap a towel around the bar and get the same effect, with the bar sitting higher on the body



manta ray not gonna help u build a sexy shelf tho :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

body seems to respond kinda fast to putting some extra meat up there when it's got a bar on it a few times per week. tho i have nothing to back that up :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: how to keep muscle size not too big

the "slack muscle" stuff made me lol. it just sounds funny.

Wondering how to be super strong without having too much slack muscle.....

40 inch standing vertical requires a lot of strength and muscle..... want to keep the slack muscle as low as possible because we know being too big is no good on the court/field.....

high frequency lifting + light eating did the trick for me.

i'm naturally very ecto though but still.. when i overeat too often, i do gain fat & "bulk up". i was 170's and jumping/dunking while lifting etc at one point, but knew I had to get lighter, back to my true "runner build" while packing on tons of strength: relative strength ratio was the key for me. increase strength while also *very slowly* decreasing body mass (mostly fat but also some upper muscle etc) was the plan.

eating light had me at like 145 lb @ ~8% body fat with peak vert. eating light to me means getting good at curbing hunger cravings and spacing out the meals more, while still getting in your daily "macros". doing that + lifting often seems to really shred you up. the lifting sessions just become a testosterone shot. they just can't be draining if they are frequent (1+x/day etc).

anyway that was one of my experiences with it.

for running, the trick is to get to 15 hours or so a week. once you get to that level, you can eat anything and your muscle + fat will shrink. do 15 hours a week and barely eat, and you become kenyan - one of the many reasons they are so damn strong. these dudes will have tea before their morning session, eat a piece of bread and drink some tea afterwards, then nap, do an afternoon/evening session, then eat a small dinner. circumstance helps to fuel that.

frequency is important for both. for lifting, at least 2x/day made me feel great. for running, 2x/day was the only way to really get in that kind of duration (mileage) safely.

shouldn't really be thinking of changing your "structure" tho. just making your natural structure (with 100% discipline) more "perfect".

basically.. just have to live it & eat according to your goal, mastering self discipline. IMHO.

^^^ Thanks Andrew. Yes it is a very nice PR. It also verifies the XC race performance was great. I was frustrated with 4:55 average there, seemed too slow. But if i am good for solo 4:45 5K un-recovered, then it means i did 4:55 3.6K not because i was slow, but because the race was a hard one. Got top 10 anyway, should have stayed at that.

2020 running goals:
-1KM 3:30 ( current PR 3:56 )
-1500m 6:30 ( current PR 6:56 )
-5K race 22:00 ( current PR 23:56 )
-10K 50:00 ( current PR 56:54 )
-Complete 21K, in any time.

good goals right there. u will get them, especially now that ur off the cigs lol.

they don't do mile races over there? do they have any road 1500's or road mile's? do a mile race one day, you'll crush your 1km, 1500m, and mile all in one shot.

BW: 80.4kg

Actively trying to get sub 80kg by end of year. Then add creatine and repeat. I'm too weak/fat/unathletic to justify weighing above 80kg so that's the first thing. No one running a 30min 5km at 80kg deserves to weigh that much, need to earn it.

lol i like that mentality. :ibrunning:

Charlo v Harrison II was a great fight.

end was nuts :F

happy how it ended.

Harrison was good and was according to me was winning somehow neutralizing charlo and hitting some nice shots but wasn't very frequent with it and charlo is just a train.

yea i thought Harrison was winning that too. I was hoping Charlo could get the KO. Harrison was walking him down, hitting him with clean straight shots, while maintaining a tight defense. But man o man when he got clipped with that power, game over.

happy to see Jermell get his belt back. thought he got robbed in the first fight.

"I JUST DON'T LIKE THE DUDE". jaja.

spikes would help a lot

yup. no such thing as a slippery track when you have spikes on. feels really cool to get that kind of grip on a wet track too (because of the spikes).

Yesterday nothing, Netflix recommended a new docuseries and I got drawn in

It's called Don't fuck with cats

so in 2010 I think a guy was posting videos of him killing cats online and people on fb were pissed and formed a group to look at the videos to find clues to find the guy.  Well the guy ended up joining the group and taunting them and left clues in his videos.

So he eventually graduates to filming himself killing someone which brings in the police and they chase him around europe etc etc. 

SO yeah the people who tracked him down just go through the whole thing and it was super weird but still interesting.

WTF.

what a sick fuck. sounds nuts.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: "A relaxed jump is the best jump" fallacy
« on: December 19, 2019, 09:05:07 pm »
i recall being pretty amp'd on my best jumps/dunks.

i've had some great relaxed jumps, but my best jumps were all very aggressive.

"aggressive & loose" vs "aggressive & tight": sometimes you do get some incredible performances when you aren't trying as hard. ie look at T&F events, where someone's early jump/throw could be their best. more "relaxed" could be an observation. potentially more efficient nervous system, relying more on programmed motor patterns instead of trying to force them etc. i imagine there's some kind of fine line/groove that each person has to figure out. could be a little different between some folks.

i like the one ur getting the best. one with white on the bottom kinda looks like half tights poking thru, dno. i'm not a camo fan but that's decent camo (not annoying army camo).

One of my BBall shorts I have incoming - hopefully it looks OK on me :)
I couldn't decide between 2Xl or 3Xl as these asian sizes tend to run 2 sizes smaller - I normally wear between L, and XL for baggier look
57 vs 59cm in length

yes I'm a sucker for camo look gear  :P



The pockets have zippers, unusual.
Li Ning Badfive branded stuff. I may get the white one later as well



Getting the green Camo one as well in a smaller 2XL size :)



pretty cool design, but i couldn't see me wearing it, as I'm an introvert  8)



customer pic wearing 3XL, at 5'6".....



Looking at the pics it seems the fit is more slim fitting on the legs, so better larger size than too small
