« on: March 23, 2011, 02:23:46 pm »good points..but people that are concerned with more than just DLRVJ and VJ (sports sprinting whatever) should not just jump on the quad nation gravy train IMO

« on: March 23, 2011, 12:26:04 pm »...i'm just glad this didn't become a "hey lets bash the mormons!" thread
Speaking of which...
A anxious soon to be Mormon father spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor asked.
"No, you idiot!" the man shouted. "This is her husband!"
this joke is not enhanced by the father being a mormon.
Agreed. But I typed in mormon jokes into Google and this came up. I was lazy.
hahaha yeah you can do better than that! hahaha something about green jello salad

« on: March 23, 2011, 12:11:52 pm »How about dwarves?
Denmark has a benchpresser whos a dwarf. He holds the WR for his weightclass and has won several international titles. Honestly I think its bull. He cant fully extend his elbows (some dwarves has this problem) and he cant touch the ground when on the bench. So they bend the rules for him. And he keeps yapping about he stronger pound for pound in the bench than anyone in the world. All I can say is, I can get the cookies from the top shelf. Go fuck of stupid midget.
this might be the best post i've ever read in my entire life! hahaha...that was great! screw midgets!

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: various questions!
« on: March 22, 2011, 11:02:16 pm »its hard to tell from that video but it does look like your pelvis is starting to tuck towards the bottom of the lift, if you went any lower it would definitely be more drastic. Slow down, set each rep up well before you start the squat. Exaggerate the chest out and hold it, deep breath in through your nose, pull down with the hip flexors and you should be fine.
thanks man! my squat went a lot better tonight...so so far so good

« on: March 22, 2011, 10:59:22 pm »I guess we moved past it but I think the proper response the "How high would you jump with just your ankles?" should be this question:
"How high would you jump without your feet?"
I'm just sayin, if your calves can translate the force from the rest of the body through your feet and into the ground then it really doesn't matter how strong your quads or hams are. (Obviously a person with super strong calves and tiny little upper legs is going to be much good either). It's a team effort. There's no "I" in hamstr..., wait, there's no "I" in Quadr...., crap.
THERE'S NO I IN LEGS!
lmao nice post
ya, "how high would u jump if you only jumped using pure knee extension", "how high would you jump if you only jump using pure knee flexion", "how high would you jump using only pure hip extension", all are completely moronic rhetorical questions which make no sense.
together, everyone achieves more.
TEAM TEAM TEAM.
don't put calves on the bench folks, they are a key player.
whys a tree good? why are boobs good? they just are

« on: March 21, 2011, 12:01:41 am »would doing some 1 legged calf raises between sets of squats, rack pulls, and dips suffice. I get a burn doing 2 legged ones without weights during my rest period
i bet you could still add weight...just because it burns without weights doesn't mean you aren't strong enough to do them with weights

Basketball / Re: BYU suspension
« on: March 20, 2011, 11:06:23 pm »i agree, just like people have the freedom to hate on the rule, BYU has the right to make and enforce this rule..man Jimmer is the man, is he mormon?
yeah he is...humble dude
and i agree people can absolutely hate on the rule....but anyone who goes to BYU knows what they're getting into as soon as they sign up...it's a good private school with very strict religous views so thats the stand point decisions are made fromhaha fucking idiots.
SEX IS FOR PROCREATION AND THE SUBJUGATION OF WOMEN ONLY. DERIVING PLEASURE FROM IT IS A SIN. I AM MORONI. I HAVE SPOKEN
people who make statments like this clearly know nothing about mormons by the way
it was a sarcastic, exaggerated statement. i freely admit that i know very little about mormonism.
however, rules made to suppress sexuality tend to favor men at the expense of women.
fair enough...though i'd tend to disagree...i think they'd favor women since it seems easier for women to obstain from sex than men

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello
« on: March 20, 2011, 10:19:31 pm »Hi everybody!
My name is Jeremy, i'm a 20 (almost 21) guy from France. I'm about 1,80m (5,9 ft) and 135~140 lbs. I play basketball around 2 times/week in a team in Toulouse (South West). I can touch the rim but my ultimate goal is to dunk (nothing amazing, like the simple one leg one hand) and learn a lot(some post are really interesting, but a little complicated for me and my english). I don't speak English really well, but I went 1 month in San Diego, California, two or three years ago. So i understand a lot a if you don't speak to me like fuckin' gangsta guys
I'm ready if you have some questions!
hey man! i live in quebec and speak a little french so if you're having a hard time let me know and i'll have my wife come read it and translate for everyone(she is quebequois) hahaha
bon chance mon ami!
