p.s. is there anyway to embed instagram vids like youtube?
I looked into it a few weeks ago because you post lots of instagram vids; I think there is a plugin. I'm going to snapshot the forum and attempt to install it. I usually have issues installing plugins for some reason, they always break. We'll see tho. Thanks for the reminder!

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

« on: December 01, 2015, 01:16:06 pm »Crosslinked from adarqui's journal:
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.

« on: December 01, 2015, 12:11:20 pm »I love Greek yoghurt but damn!
Is it cheap over there? It's like over 3x the price of milk here for equivalent protein else I'd eat it a tonne more
I always get the "10 for 10's". Publix (a popular supermarket in Florida) has 10 for $10 deals each week. So i'll end up getting 10 or 20 of them. When my favorite (plenti , http://www.adarq.org/nutrition-supplementation/greek-yogurt/msg112286/#msg112286) goes on sale for 10/10, I buy em` up. Normally they are 3 for $5. Otherwise I usually get publix brand greek yogurt which is still pretty good.
The prices here ( at the source ) per kg/lt are ~3,5 euros yogurt, 1,2 euros milk. So almost triple price for yogurt indeed but also almost triple protein ( i am referring to 2% both, yogurt is around 9g/100g protein , milk is around 3,5g/100ml ). So about the same price per protein g here. Also, yogurt has all the milk nutrients and extra probiotics , plus it is ok ( or at least milder ) for lactose intolerant people.
Yogurt FTW!

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:
http://www.plentiyogurt.com/oats-and-seeds/
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.
11/30/2015
sleep = 7 hours
wakeup = 6:58 AM ET naturally, yaa!
bw = 164
soreness = left quad slightly but went away shortly after waking up
aches = right knee slightly
injuries = left 4th finger laceration, (right knee slightly ^^ above, ache and injury), some toenails
morning resting hr = forgot to measure again, feh
Session: Morning
run:
- TAM-2 not including warmup runs
- ~40 min
- ~1.5 mi warmup jog, slow/relaxed, getting everything loose
- ~3.5 mi run - midfoot, struggled to keep the pace I wanted but kept trying
- morning runs are harder than my night runs, by far
- felt my right knee act up on a few foot strikes, which is odd.. normally I don't feel this issue when running.. it didn't come back, but something I need to keep a lookout for
lifting:
- all lifts 'slow and controlled'
SSBAR half squat:
- workup to 145 lb. x 1
barbell overhead press:
- workup to 85 lb. x 1
barbell romanian deadlift:
- workup to 95 lb. x 1
barbell curl:
- workup to 85 lb. x 1
- muscled concentric up a little
Food
- coconut greek yogurt
Food
- dark red kidney beans with green pepper & cayenne pepper
- greek yogurt
Nap
- ~3 PM ET - ~4 PM ET
Food
- greek yogurt
Food
- gatorade
- shortly before evening session
Session: Evening
run:
- CS-1 (not including warmup and cooldown)
- ~45 minutes
- ~1.5 mi warmup run, did some nice submax jumping drills while warmup running
- CS-1 + extra N->S: ~2.8 mi: midfoot, fast, really pushed the pace. Went all out in the first 0.57 mi (way faster than I should, but was fun)
- ~1.5 mi cooldown run, uber slow/relaxed
Food
- 3 x anthony's pizza slices (tomato, basil, mozzarella)
- greek yogurt
Food
- 1 x chocolate soy milk
felt VERY good today.. feeling very light, relaxed & strong.

« on: November 30, 2015, 10:25:28 pm »QuoteYa good point. I'm probably a 3.5 even though I did a tournament in the 4.0's. I still havn't beaten my dad and he's a solid 4.0. I've come close but he always manages to pull out the win. If I was someone who got frustrated easily, losing to my dad every time would be hell (especially because he's 68 wtf). Instead i'm always cracking up having a ton of fun, so many crazy/fun points and shots. If I had a proper first & second serve I think i'd be a legit 4.0, my ground strokes are decent. I lose so many points on having to hit a weak (incorrect) second serve. Right now i'm only serving using a second serve in the hopes of getting that super consistent.
Tennis rallies are truly fun. It's a great sport because while athleticism plays a part in it a crafty 68 year old can really be really difficult to play with when they know how to place the ball, hit passing shots etc. What is your second serve? The best advice I can give you about serving is to develop a kick serve if you haven't already. A few of the truly great players like Djokovic can hit slice serves and flat serves on second serves but it's really hard to not short arm those serves when you get nervous at big points and need to keep the ball in... I find serves easy to practice because I can get a bucket of balls and just serve by myself for hours and really hone it in (groundstrokes are so much harder to practice because you can take the ball on the rise, late, while moving, etc and just hitting doesn't put you through all the shots sometimes).
yup, that's why I got that spinfire pro 2 ball machine, to practice ground strokes alone. So far i've only used it when practicing with my dad. We both take a round of 144 balls, it's really effective; can feel/understand the effects of minor changes on your swing alot easier.
Quote
If you can develop a kick serve where you throw the ball behind you far enough so that you can't really over-swing you will have a second serve that you can confidently hit in but won't be absolutely eaten up by big hitters...
ya that's what i've been working on, a kick serve. When I get it good, man it has so much spin. I love it. I used to just be obsessed with the power serve, but now i'm loving trying to put insane spin on this second serve.
Quote
Yeah I never did heel-toe but then again I was always told if I learned it I could run more than a mile without my calves and low-back tightening and hurting... As you transition more to becoming a runner you will swear off hoop shoes... I used to play basketball with them when I was young but now they just feel so strange so I actually prefer to play ball in my trainers or puma biowebs (recommend strongly).
ya, I used to dunk in my nike zoom waffle racers.. I only have a few dunk vids where I am using actual basketball shoes. I swore them off LONG ago. Love flats (which might be a bit more nuts than hooping/dunking in trainers?). Both offer less support, are lighter, are basically zero drop, really allow you to spring off your forefoot.. love em`.
right now I do everything in my Saucony Shay XC 4's. Don't think they sell Nike Zoom Waffle Racers anymore.

I see your msg below about how you want to reintegrate squats. I think you have the right idea with singles... Once my ankle heels I am deemphasizing weights and putting my squat on pause. My advice would be to keep volume real low and do something like this:
1) Before hard endurance running day: 3,2,1,1,1 squats with progressive weight. 10 Med ball tosses. 1x5 barbell abs.
2) After tempo endurance day (running faster than your 5k pace but for much shorter intervals): 3,2,1,1,1 squats. 2x10 timed band squats. 5x5 barbell abs,
3) After speed work days: 3,2,1,1,1 squats where you raise weight. 20 medball tosses. 2x20 barbell timed band* squats.
I love barbell band squats for runners. Especially if you have issues with feet/calves. Doing a set of 20 squats with 185+100lb bands in about 35 seconds will make you feel like you just ran a 49 second 400 with the squat. I have a video of myself doing them on my recent youtube. Excellent for speed endurance and strength. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCVDgqcKfoc
nice! thanks. I did something "similar" today, except I broke it up into multiple sessions. Felt so good tonight in my evening run. I did my fastest morning run (~45 min) then I lifted for ~20 min (using singles). Felt springy/light/great all day.
I don't have a band setup on my rack, eventually I might need to set something up. I still have that rack in my backyard, never had a good band setup. I had 180 lb of chain for each side, at one point.. but don't have that anymore. I'd like to go the band route instead of chain anyway.
