surprised this low toss / form generates so much power on the serve:

151029 Olifting class session 10 tonight

I resumed Heavy lifting once a week on sunday morning ( squating 315lbs 4 set of 3 and deadlifting a few more set/rep after)

also resumed Jump training at lunch, doing Tooday method, 1 step jump, 2 step jump and work up to 3 step jump.
I try to get about 20 jump in total during my jump training lunch session.   But with limited time. this mean i do not have proper warm up... the initial 7-10 jump usually end up as warm up.  (First 3 or 5 jump might not be able to tip the rim)

However, I changed the jump session a little this week, instead of jump 20 times, I spent my time doing 4 depth drops, followed with full court Sprint with 4 depth jump.  for a total of 4 Sprint, and 3 set of Depth jump.  With this in place, i am able to touch the rim on my very first jumnp and reach over in my 3rd jump.   I end up doing 5 rep of 1 steps, 5 rep of 2 step and 5 reps of 3 steps jump.

see how things go with this change.

nice.. i used to love performing several short sprints before i'd start jumping.. really wakes you up.

Olimpic lifting is hard, I am getting the technique and form back after 2 sessions resumed from holiday.  However, even with proper technique, i am not able to lift Fast.  Coach is not letting me lift heavy... i am still just lifting 40kg.  which is useless for vertical development.

is like having 10lbs, 20lbs,40lbs gloves, for boxing training.  I am able to throw punch with 40lbs. but i am slow.
ok lets do 20lbs... and i am faster.. ok lets do 10lbs.. it is easy BUT i am still not FAST enough. 

the coach and throw punch fast at 10, 20 and even 40.   Able to throw punch is not enough, able to throw it FAST is the key.
JUST like vertical jumping. 

now.. i am stuck at Light weight gloves.... because even though I can go heavier... but i am not able to go fast... even when it is light.
both the coach and me.. is trying to figur thing out.

one more update, i tried 45 hrs fasting with drinking water last weekend. did not feel anything special...but i lost 8lbs.

some more research show for athlete performance, intermittent fasting is the way to go. which is just an 16 hr fast (skipping breakfast only)
Which i find it pretty dumb as so many people skip breakfast caz they are late to work..

anyway, i gave it a try and did it today.. will see how things go.

Talked to Kadour, and because of his religion,  he fast also... twice a week no eating or drinking.

In general I feel good skipping meals and eating light.. but when I dunked, I couldn't skip meals or dunk on an empty stomach. If I dunked in the morning, I'd go for milk + coffee/cappuccino powder. This helped me feel very alert and "jittery" (caffeine) but without the weakness i'd feel if I skipped a meal. The feeling of "slightly hungry, jittery, alert, aggressive, and possible pooping way too much" is when I jumped my best.. lmao .. Oh also, the previous meal (the night before), I'd load up on bananas and some protein, so that come morning, i'd have everything digested and I was ready to go.

My pre-dunking meal was always very light (like I mentioned before).

I'm not a caffeine drinker anymore so.. Right now i'm just drinking orange juice in the morning before I train. Does the job for tennis/running etc.

Shoes / New Balance XC900v2 Spikeless
« on: October 29, 2015, 12:51:12 pm »
http://www.newbalance.com/mens-running/shoes/









These are my favorite shoes to "wear around". Very comfortable & they always seem to look new. Even after 7 months of wearing them (and doing several runs/sprints in them), they look brand new.

Walking & Sprinting feel great in xc900v2's.

I'm not sure if I like them as much for running or jumping. I'll eventually run/jump in them again to know for sure.

Finally, I think they look sick-as-fuq, especially in person.

They are decently priced: $49-$79, depending on where you buy them online.

haha thanks vag. i wonder what my peak day has been in terms of views. average is about 45/day.

Actually, i have been logging the views statistics for 2 years now, started doing it when i was afraid the forum would die to see the trend but still keep it, for fun. Unfortunately, i am not OCD enough to do it daily, i log them weekly.
So, long story short, our views are fake. They were normal till June 2014 ( 100-300 views per week each ) but then they suddenly doubled-tribled and they stayed like this till today. It didn't happen linearly but literally overnight. Probably bots. For example, entropy's previous journal still gets an average of 500 views per week. Flander's journal ( before he came back ) was 0-5 views , then ( while he still had not came back ) shot up to 200. An active journal's average now is 500-800 views per week. You get the picture.
For the record, in the first week of March 2015 you had a crazy spike of 1780 views which is your highest. Not just you, those spikes apply to everyone ( me and raptor had ~1600 that week ). Next week all back to normal. Happens every 2-3 months, no idea what it is. The biggest spike recorded was mine ( 2200, dafuq? ) , entropy and you also spiked at ~1400 that week.
:lololol:

hah nice.

WRECKED. every time I start increasing the speed of my running, my body dies, especially my toes & calves. :F

I got some "special running socks" today, hoping they help with the blisters. They are light weight and supposedly "anti friction". I might have to put bandaids on my toes (it's helped way back).. hoping I don't have to do that though.

Finally, I really need to figure out how to wake up in the morning.. Tennis/Running in the AM vs PM is vastly different. My body doesn't feel awake in the morning, and I end up moving/swinging in ways that make no sense. Long ago (hehe), when I dunked, caffeine would wake me up in the morning. Since i'm caffeine free (for probably a year now), I need to figure something else out. For now, i'm thinking of:
- waking up earlier (and sleeping earlier)
- cold shower
- jump rope

Oh also I'm going to be eating more bananas and adding salt to my beverages.

Unfortunately I may not run until after this tennis tournament. I'd love to "feel good" during this tourney.
