In fact watching him jump it seems like he is sacrificing some of his muscle stretch reflex for squat depth which to me is amazing!

kingfish's jump style looks similar to elite oly lifters to me.

pc!

hahaha

boom son!!

edit: just went to your journal.. niiice. If the size of the embedded videos annoys us I can figure out how to make them smaller in the code.



and.. holy crap, that's jujumufu? he's gotten huge.. I used to follow him on youtube way back.

I've personally never been big into supps. Back when I lifted hard for dunking, I took whey protein. I took caffeine (in the form of 2 scoops of bustello cappuccino) before big dunk sessions.

Currently the only supp I take (and not consistently enough) is Lignang Flax Seed Oil by Barleans: https://www.barleans.com/flax-oil.asp#.html

have you ever had some "American brands"? I guess it's all about the "straining process":

http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2013/10/is_your_favorite_brand_of_gree.html

There are two different yogurts here, the 'normal' one and the 'strained' one. And then there are the 'yogurt-based-deserts'. The strained ones are more thick, creamy and in most cases less sour.
From what i know , the 'truthiness' of the yogurt it is not in the straining or not, but in the bacterial fermentation.
I haven't had any foreign commercial ones, but i've had yogurt in various hotel breakfasts abroad, you can't really tell the difference by taste.
Also, i can't answer which is real and which is not, i know the FAGE ones are real for sure. Here it is forbidden to label them 'yogurt' if they are not 'real' ( fermentation-wise ).

nice thanks! I will check whole foods, I bet they carry some of that stuff.

nice!

vag, what's the REAL ISH?

I need to try some authentic stuff.



i'd probably be laughed at for considering this my favorite greek yogurt, but it's truly amazing:

it's worth trying.. it doesn't have as strong of a greek yogurt taste as some of the popular brands, but, it has this ultra clean/smooth/refreshing taste that has become addicting.



edit: I wonder if it's "strained" (authentic process)

if you notice lifting is literally working up to one single.. eventually i'll do clusters of singles (MSEM style for example).. right now just getting used to lifting again.
