« on: June 10, 2017, 08:35:17 am »they have to do legal hip checks on rebounds to get the gsw pissed off, must do clean strips, swipes, and if ref screws them in anyway, Lue needs to get on half court and let it be known, even at sacrifice of a tech.....
This. They should be watching tape of the bad boy Pistons for the next 48 hours. Go down swinging. Also, someone needs to drop Pachulia.

If game 5 is super biased towards CLE, I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down to the wire.....
Idk. The refs are fucked either way. Gave in to KD when he bitched about getting a head shot. Look at what Green did to Tristan about 5 mins later and they say nothing. Soooo bad.

skipped floor kips. too discouraging, need a new set up/plan of attack. got a suggestion on the GMB forums to get some mats and kip from there to the floor, reducing height as i get more comfortable. seems like a good suggestion. need to get some mats.
Have you seen this tutorial before? Makes some good points that I haven't seen in any others. The main one being the importance of the neck. Anyway check it out. And good luck.

bw- 90.6
injuries- none
soreness- upper back
Extended Warm up- incl. shoulders, scap, wrists and plenty of glute activation work
Front Squat- bar x 10, 40 x 5, 60 x 5, 70 x 5, 85 x 5 (knee sleeves, oly shoes- no belt)
Tuck Front Lever- x 10s, 5s, 10s, 7s, 8s
OHP- bar x 10, 40 x 5, 45 x 5, 3, 5
Again not quite getting the amount of time I want in the gym but I'm consistently getting in there so I'll take that for now and build as I go.
Front squats felt boss. The weights not that heavy but 85 moved almost as fast as 40 did. Part of me thinks I should just front squat and deadlift and leave back squats out of it. The other part of me feels I have unfinished business with back squats and I want that double bw squat before moving on. The question is how long do I give myself.
Both tuck FL and OHP were pretty solid although I lost focus throughout the sets. Also wasn't making it any easier on myself with front levers as I was still wearing my lifting shoes.

« on: June 08, 2017, 01:46:24 am »re: frog stands/crow, messing with where knees are resting and hand placement led to big improvements for me. closer to armpits, closer to elbows, more or less inside. i don't see why there would a hard-and-fast rule about whether it's better for your hips to be higher or level with your shoulders, but it's worth playing around to find the most comfortable and sustainable spot. personally i've found that hands shoulder-width (prescribed distance is closer in) and slightly splayed out with knees fairly close to armpits leads to a crow i could hold for minutes if i wanted to. ymmv based on physiology, where you're mobile, etc.
Yeah this. I found a position that I can hold easily for 10+s and no doubt that will get better with more practice. I had read that ideally the hips and shoulders should be level but mine were far from. I think this may be working more towards the next progression for tuck planche.

bw- 91.6
Injuries- none
Soreness- quads, lats
Warm up- scaps, rotator cuffs, shoulders, wrists
RDL- bar x 10, 60 x 10, DL- 80 x 5, 100 x 5, 125 x 5
Frog Stand x 10s x 5
Chins- bw x 5, +5kg x 4, 3, 4
Arch Body x 30s x 3
Again not quite a full session but I'm getting the meat and potatoes done. Spend a large amount of time talking to my daughter and helping her draw chalk pictures on the garage floor so that's probably more valuable than a set or two of something else.
DL felt solid. I've mentioned before that tightness is my enemy and I feel like I'm getting there. It's mainly just awareness of what I'm doing during the lift and so far it's paying off.
Frog stand felt solid again but my hips are way too high. From what I understand the hips should be level with the shoulders and my hips are much higher. Not sure if there's an allowance for my height here but will continue to work on it.

C'mon man that was one of the dumbest questions ever to be asked in an interview. Journalists are bad enough in Australia but I'm dumbfounded at the stupidity in the American press.

bw- 91.6
injuries- none
soreness- none
Warm up- scaps, shoulders, wrists, monster walks
A1) Squats- bar x 10, 40 x 5, 60 x 5, 80 x 5, 105 x 5 (knee sleeves & lifting shoes, no belt)
A2) Tuck Front Lever- 5-10s x 5
B) Ring Dips- bw x 5, 5, 3
C) Hollow Body Hold x 30x x 3
D) CTW handstand x 30s x 3
Had an epic (for me) handstand hold off the wall for about 5-6s. Felt like an eternity. Only problem was when I bailed I smashed my knee on a powerpoint on the way down. Luckily I'd already squatted for the evening. Wanted to get more in but again it'll do for now.
Had some great moments on the FL. Really felt my scaps working and holding position which is probably the first time I've felt them in that way.
Looks like Acole and I will be catching up next week for some dunks (fingers crossed). Need to make sure I'm getting my recovery down pat so I can actually get some dunks down.

Have been following Diane Fu on IG for a while and she's at a Chinese lifting camp with plenty of champs and some WR holders training there. She's posting a ton of vids on her IG along with a heap of stories showing their training. Pretty interesting stuff.

Especially cool to see what they do with a lack of equipment. Case in point...

Man where was Tristan??? 4 rebounds. He should be ashamed of himself.
Also, I know GSW have been solid defensively but the lack of open shots for JR, Korver, Frye, etc is concerning.
