Hey guys,

Whats up ?

welcome man!

I just wanted to say hi, I have been reading forum posts for at least two weeks now and will need at least two weeks more to get me going. It's crazy how much info there is here.

hah ya it amazes me also.. keeps growing/expanding too, i have pity on anyone joining this forum 5 years from now lolol.

I am from Serbia,19 year old,big ball fan,dunking fan.
I am a onee/two foot jumper,can not do anything spectacular. I trained professionally basketball last year and now stopped because of school. I got into a university for informatics and I am really happy with it but I can never stop balling and jumping.
I will give more details on me when I start my journal also a few questions,will probably start with that "Introductary block " (not sure if spelled it good )...I always considered myself as a "Beginner" in weight lifting and intermediate in plyos.

nice!

ya the intro block is a good start, as long as you push yourself (like with any program), it's fundamentally sound.. regardless of the program/routine it comes down to consistency & how hard you push yourself, but within the realm of safety/proper form etc.. eager to see your progress.

I am not new to lifting tough,but something always stoppe me to finish my plans to the end,not gonna happen now.
Ha,anyways I got a bit carried away..Wish you all a good day.

 

same 2 you.. saw you on live chat, we have lots of fun on there.. i won't be around as much for the next 2 weeks, but after that, i'll be on alot.. still fun without me though, lots of cool people on there..

peace man!

Miles from this forum ^^^

jjaja! sick

very fast

^^^Awesome idea.
I think i have killed my lifting ego for good, have done so many deloads to fix dorm, stopped partial squatting , stopped squat-mornings , sent my working load down to 60kg/132lbs in squats 3 times lately in perfecting form iterations. Most recent achievement, dropped RDLs working load from 252 to 176.
Now the bad news: I can't let my quad heal! I stretch it , i foam roll it , i rest it and when it stops bugging a few days i stop SMR and i push again and re-injure it. I have noticed it responds bad to 'volume' squatting, eg 3x5 , not the day that i squat but the next one, but i still don't change my squat schedule. I also go out and jump on concrete. Supposedly they are sub-maximal jumps but actually they are ME to the point i feel that if i push more i will strain it! WTF , i am carrying a slightly injured quad for over 5 months now!!! 
MINIMIZE SQUATS TIME UNDER TENSION!!!
TOTALLY PHASE OUT JUMPS!!!
KEEP STRETCHING/FOAM ROLLING EVEN WHEN IT FEELS HEALED!!!
   

damn..

ya the 'keep stretching' thing is important.. got to keep that tissue pliable or it just gets wrecked when it re-tightens.. i've had quite a few quads pulls growing up, had to stretch them like crazy for months.

it's so hard to stay submax on jumps, might not even be worth going to a court.. i know it's very hard for me to hold back.. maybe instead for a while  do some jumps in a pool or something, or box jumps etc.. something where you can completely control the environment.. if all you have is an 18" box, you won't be enticed to go ME.

actual leg extensions on a machine can really help with pulled quads too.. really light, slow and controlled. sometimes it's nice to isolate a damaged muscle, because during squats, other knee extensors could be overcompensating for the damaged one, which would result in the damaged one not being rehabbed properly. so you might think you're strengthening it, but in reality, you're not, because everything is learning to kick in and take over for it.

good post.

Yeah that's what I was thinking... if I'm ever going to use them I'll use them high reps, and I was thinking about them possibly creating some imbalances but...

as long as the most effective compound exercises are your meat and potatoes, it's no problem to throw a few carrots or parsley into the mix.

winninks.

Great

nice, that's more like 1/4th a packet of soy sauce.

So we train and we train and we train.
We train or limit strength , our RFD , our quads , our P-chain, our mobility, our jumping technique efficiency bla bla bla...
We do weights , we do plyos , we do conditioning...
We bulk, we cut , we change programs and priorities , we just try to get down everything right and balanced.

He is killerjunior23's little brother , just 15 years old!!! 
I love seeing those natural highflyers. Kinda like nature's art...

i know right.. kid 'looks weak' right now but still hoppin.. kind of like his bro did early on.. then his brother got crazy strong and just jumps like a freak.

the only annoying thing is when the natural's try to lecture people on training.. "listen, you dont need to lift, all you need is more faith and ab workouts".

happens alot on facebook.
