Basketball / Re: Blake Griffin needs his own thread - This guy is a freak
« on: March 21, 2011, 08:50:08 am »
Poor Gortat. He was such a decent role player. RIP.

Can we create a "Punk'd" style show going around to NBA players that have been posterized, call it "Weis'd" and just jump them saying "You Got Weis'd!"? Please?

Also, I think Griffin's windmills look ugly. Not smooth at all. That being said, I wish my windmills were that ugly.

Nice, finally glad to see some of his in-game dunks. All his tip-dunks were nasty!

How soon do you take if after your workout? I've been told, and this is just by a friend who works out a lot, that taking protein -immediately- after your workout is not ideal. He said waiting 35 or so minutes is better. Something about your body burning calories a bit more and being more accepting to the protein after it has adjusted to a post-workout/rebuilding phase. It made sense the way he said it and I may not be translating it right to you guys, but that's the basic gist of it I think.

Your friend is a dangerous brotard and you should probably distance yourself from him. There's actually some evidence that consuming WPC soon before your workout has a greater effect on protein synthesis than consuming it afterward. Protein takes a while to digest regardless of when you eat it. The most important thing (by far) is to get enough protein and calories throughout the day. Getting some protein soon before (small amount), during and/or soon after your workout is definitely a good idea but your muscles will not fall off if you miss that crucial 35-45 minute post-workout window.

That said, joejoe's point is good, that if setting a schedule for yourself helps ensure that you get what you need, by all means, stick to a schedule.

Cool, thanks for the info. Definitely have to work on my schedule.

I run in Vibram FiveFingers. It's not quite barefoot running but pretty darn close. They do wonders for my knees and ankles. Before I was cutting out because the pounding on my knees were killing me around 2 miles, but with my VFF I can run 5+ miles consistently. It's a whole different ballgame. Running w/ shoes, I struggle to walk the next day. Running with VFF, I feel even more energized the next day.

I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worked for me. That's what matters to me of course. Other people have different experiences. But at 6'5" 215lb, the less stress on my knees the better.

I'm pretty convinced VFF accelerated my arthritis. Just saying.

How so? I have bad arthritis in my knees and I feel like VFF helps take it down a few notches.

My arthritis is in my toes. Genetically predisposed to it thanks to malformed joints and I think I've had hallux rigidus for years in a mild form, although I didn't know what it was until a couple of years ago. But I think jogging in the VFF, which did feel better for my knees once my calves and soleus got used to it, wore down the cartilage and accelerated the growth of the bone spurs I have on top of both big-toe joints now.

Could keep going, but I'd have to take it to the emo thread. My point is that barefoot running can be great if you take your time adapting and if there's nothing contra-indicating it. But it's not the miraculous solution to all physical ailments - or return to our "paleo" roots - that it seems a lot of people make it out to be.

Okay, I gotcha. That stinks about your toes.

Post workout: EAS Whey Protein ASAP after

Pre Workout: Usually workout at 5 am, so I don't have time to eat prior.  I drink about 20 oz of water as soon as I wake up and that makes a world of difference for getting me going.  I mean, think about going 8 hours without a drink of water at any other point in the day!

I'm definitely noticing a difference with taking protein right after, and I try to get it in as a late afternoon snack, like 4 pm, because we don't eat dinner till like 7 pm usually.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Favorite Pre/Post Workout Meals/Supps
« on: March 13, 2011, 01:02:37 am »
Hey, I've seen random threads asking about specific supplements and the like, but I was curious what everybody's favorite pre-workout meal/supps and post-workout meal/supps are. Also, how long before/after do you eat/take them?

I'm re-evaluating my budget for food/supps so I'm just curious what else is out there and what seems to work for other people.

I need to get in on this. I can't compete in the squats cause of my knees but I can try to get good videos of my jumps. I used to have a decent standing long jump (broad jump) so I'll try to get some vids up on that.

I can remember going on a trip with the boys and their dads in elementary class in 4th grade and the campground we stayed at had a court. We all decided to play and I remember my Dad (5'10") dunking on fast breaks. He was by far the coolest Dad there...but I'm slightly biased.

In-game jams. 0:25 'oop is amazing.

Doesn't look like he's playing against the best competition...but that doesn't make him jump any lower. Daaaaang.

And I dunno if this has been posted before, but this guy looks like he has a bit of bounce to his step:

I've used and had good success with SuperPump250. It was cheaper too (that's one of the ways it was successful.) haha.
