I had to look up the shrimp squat because I know you'd just rick roll me again and do the let me google that for you thing haha.  They look nice and I'll give them a try.

lol. i've been doing them as partials, to a box. gonna decrease the box height over time.

The shrimp has given the forum some fun times in the past : http://www.adarq.org/strength-power-reactivity-speed-discussion/utilization-of-strength/

Hm yea that link works! Looking at all those tags makes me realize it'll be pretty cumbersome to use though. Sometimes I do more sets on an exercise so copying the same table isn't enough. I may have to edit and it'll get annoying.

Now if the tab key worked... that would pretty much solve everything neatly. Make it like a 5 space tab or something. Boom everything aligns.



i'll paste an excel table though when im not too lazy  :huh:

ya just paste it directly so I can check it out.. wrap it in [ code ] [ /code ] bbcode. that usually preserves everything properly.

Is there a way to line up text perfectly in a comment? Basically a table without table borders.

if this could be implemented it would make organizing logs very easy. especially if i decide to log my food and macro intake.

sure i could use excel and then post a screenshot, but it's a lot easier to have the format done just once in a post and then quote it and edit the numbers for the next post

you mean like this? http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Table

unfortunately we're still using SMF, otherwise i'd just add a feature to this thing.. (some day :( ). if that table is ok, we can write a quick script to take a paste from excel and convert it into that table format. if you want me to do that let me know, just send me an example paste. Might need to paste it as csv though.. if copying from excel results in it pasting tabs/csv, then we can easily convert that into the bbcode table format.

i like what he says about his left arm, at the end.. he mentions how his left arm is stiff when he runs but his right arm is fine, he then says "you know why? holding books when I ran to school as a kid" (something like that).

hah.

also nice little demo of how you should "sound" when you hit the ground.

sucks. but on the bright side you can dedicate more energy to calisthenics for a while.

ya definitely. i've been thinking of doing more uptempo (minimal rest) basic calisthenic + light lower body workouts.. eventually mixing in jump rope to bring back some impacts. then finally slowly bring back running once all of that stuff feels strong.

This month was basically supposed to be a shift from "slow running" to more speed/hill work, lower bodyweight strength, jump rope, and long slow running. So there are fortunately still some elements I can improve while nursing this ham tendon/calf back to health.

The real question I ask myself is how I never (to my knowledge) re-injured this hamstring-tendon when I was dunking years back. I mean I often felt it and had to be careful sometimes. It was definitely on my mind. But I never actually re-injured it like i've done now. Perhaps all of the lower body strength training just kept my hamstring & ham tendon strong enough not to blow up.

imho, steady paced runs (same pace @ 30-60 min) will give you the most benefit right now. focusing more on a relaxed pace for longer durations will have the most impact on your resting HR and such too.

I hardly even dunk because my knees can't take pounding but today I trained a dunker along with a football player.  Having never trained a pro-dunker before was eye-opening, a local guy whose internet name is young-hollywood came to one of our sessions to learn about speed and rehab and just seeing him jump was so motivating.  I was always skeptical of internet dunkers and videos and imagined a lot of camera artistry and exaggerations about height... But this guy was no more than 5'11 and had a legitimate 50'' two footed jump.  Even though I didn't plan to jump I was motivated to jump at the vertec and got some 11' 3-step vertec touches in for the first time I can remember.  That of course is slightly below the guys standing vertical.  Lol.

what?  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

must have been sick watching haneef jump. he's such a freak. he also has some of the cleanest/most effortless ~50's i've seen from a dunker.

The motivation a group of positive athletes has on each other really is helpful, you could unlock gains you don't know exist with the right environment - far more than what PEDs can give you.

ya environment means so much. it's not discussed enough in s&c.

if you train alone, you really need to figure out how to be competitive with your "self". it's much more of a mental war IMHO.
