interesting news: got let go yesterday (because of phone call from potential employer), received a job offer today, took it, doubled my salary & this company is crazy legit..

pretty happy, that year off plan where i re-dedicated myself to computers/programming while working a dead-end job has seemed to work exactly as expected.

 :o

now i'll be able to eat EVEN MORE.. :)

Around where would you say your BF% is at right now?

And, at what point are you going to start focusing on diet to get leaner again?

yo

probably at like ~15% or so right now.. i don't even care though because these next 3-6 months are all about putting on muscle, then i'll re-evaluate.

when i re-evaluate, i'll decide if i want to lean up, which i imagine i will.... so in 3-6 months we'll see..

the goal right now though is to just put on as much muscle as humanly possible.

pc!







YES! The darq is training. How did I miss this.

20 on squats are nasty and nice. My back problems has disappeared ftr I started 20rep squats.

Whats the trainng goal?

yoyo!!

ya man 20 rep squats is a miracle worker.. it just seems to fix everything hah.. need muscle? 20 rep.. need strength? 20 rep.. need bounce? 20 rep.

;f

training goal right now is to put on lots of muscle, get back in shape, and do some jumping on the side..

i've never had lots of muscle so, figured i'd try and achieve that this time around.

pC!




BW = not sure in morning, at night though, 180.. HEH

That's it , you're over 30 and getting fat , awesome!!! Get on my level bro!  :P

hahaha!!


Quote
No kidding though , how is your body composition? You were at 140lbs <10% when you stopped training , what happened then? I would guess you went to like 160 - 12%? And now?

148/~8% or so when i stopped... well, i worked at this sh*thole warehouse and i didn't have enough money to eat properly, so, i stopped working there around 155 lb or so... so i didn't gain much weight while working there, and i lost muscle.

im 177 - ~14-15% right now.. body fat % is just a guess, but probably accurate.. i can see my abs lightly when im not 'soft' from too much milk.




i want to hit 200 within say, 3-6 months.. :F

i figure the only way to get back into jumping this time around, is to put on lots of lean muscle.. i don't really want to 'push my cns' this time around.. i'd rather get yolked, which will take some temporary fat gain but then i'd just cut it later on.

not worrying one bit about fat gain will allow me to put on some serious mass in these next few months..

plus im not broke anymore so i can just eat really good food, high in protein, great quality, no joke.. really helps.

when i was at my part-time warehouse job, i ate like CRAP and had to skip meals.. it was really bad.

:D


peace everyone!

training vids are fun to watch, i like them more than the contest vids.. running up those mountains would be pretty fun.

lol adarq post keep cracking me up because I KNOW he had his guns loaded and ready to blow colberts head off like the good ole days lmfao.  That dude would take anything Schroeder said and find the most mystic psychotic supernatural meaning he could come up with it for it.


schroeder- spit out your gum kid

colbert- what he really means by this is to activate the subconscious into achieving a hypoxic state for the brain in which extreme mastery of sport will manifest itself to you randomly on the first tuesday of the month.  Only then will you guys truly understand what he means when he says "spit out your gum kid".


lmao, yup.

we probably shouldn't have attacked him so much on WGF, a good source of humor has now disappeared.

Comments: I found this nice hill, which is about 20 degree and it takes a bit more than 10s to reach top, also some nice wide stairs to run up, which at the top is narrow steps 3, which i jump to the top like hurdles.

nice! that stuff is fun.. i actually have one (hill, not stairs) nearby too believe it or not, pretty rare for florida. the hill here is like 45deg, which is sick.. 20 deg definitely works too tho, probably even better for sprint stuff.

Pretty cool explanation on how the cheetah is built for speed.
"A massive chest holding huge heart and lungs to pump fuel to the muscles. Legs long and light with an extended achilles tendon for superior shock absorption...but the cheetah's legs are long and fragile so how do they achieve long strides? Most people assume that cheetah's speed is generated from their legs. They must have very powerful legs. It's actually on their spine. About 60% of a cheetah's muscle mass is packed onto its spine so if you combine that with its long legs you get an animal which has an average of a 23 foot stride length".

Also says a cheetah can cover a football field in 3 seconds. Crazy!!!

great find..

it must be incredible to watch a cheetah hunt, in person.. those gazelles are no joke too, very fast.

can't help but smie when they are discussing the cheetah's stats, freakin nuts.


on a side note, lately i've been looking at my dog's tongue and just feeling 'less human'..  it's identical to ours, evolution is just mindblowing.

edit: eyes + tongue

dogs <3

I see ur training direction went a whole new way bro, care to fill me in on why?

just trying to relax & not obsess



Quote
The vol based schemes, u think it's more of a GPP thing, or u reckon it will get u to where u were with your max effort/max weight direction in the past?

ya gpp for now.. just need to get back into decent condition.

i'm going from 1 year vacation of absolutely no working out, to working out.. so ive got ~2 months of work to do just to get into decent shape.

i don't really think i'll return to 'max effort' stuff... who knows, but, i kind of want to stay light.. focus more on higher reps.. it's a bit 'safer' and better for my tissues/body at this point.

Also, why can't u jump in your frees or waffles now?

that was my mistake.. just ordered the waffle 8's, amazing.. going to order 2 more pair soon, then order some 9's.

waffles 4 life :D

peace man

BW = 174
SORENESS = low back, hamstring tendons, groin
ACHES/INJURIES = left toe a little
FATIGUE = moderate


jump-jogging > *


SESSION: drenched

~3 mile jump-jogging run:
 - seemed to get up a little better off each leg.. left especially
 - this stuff kills my HR.. mixing in SLRVJ's while jogging increases fatigue quite a bit
 - low back was kind of painful, slrvj's seem to be bugging my back, but that will adapt
 - pretty tired at the end of the jumpjog.

S1: neutral grip pullups: BW @ 8, 8, 8
S1: CRAZY-DEEP SSBAR SQUAT: 75 @ 10, 125 @ 10, 145 @ 10, 165 @ 5, 185 @ 5
S1: single arm DB bench press: 40 lb @ W, 50 lb @ W, 60 lb @ (R=10,L=7), (R=8,L=5)
S1: SSBAR CALVE RAISES: 75 @ 20, 125 @ 20, 145 @ 20, 165 @ 20, 185 @ 10

single arm DB curl: 30 lb @ (R=12,L=13), (R=12,L=14)

good workout..

back is real sore though, and groin is sore.. i hate when groin is sore, always worries me..

all in all, i feel wrecked.

happy about my numbers after those runs.. the jumpjog really fatigues me, so my lifting numbers are a good sign imo.

It looks a bit better now, but still, if you can make the background, sides and upper a darker gray. Def improved though. Keep it up.

coo thnx. btw i really appreciate the feedback, i have no problem with the 'cold hard truth' ;)

i plan on having multiple themes where you can just click a little pulldown to select which theme you want.. that way you can have the dark gray background one etc if you want :F

I don't have a jump rope at the moment, but if that is the best option I will go with that. Any suggestions of a good cheap one? Do you think Walmart would sell a good one? Also what do you recommend as far as the jump roping, do you still have that YouTube vid of a jump rope recovery session?  Thanks for your reply man

it's definitely the best option IMO.

sports authority has a good quality, cheap nike rope.. as far as what i recommend, eventually getting a buddy lee speed rope.. but start out with a cheaper rope like the one at sports authority.

here's the buddy lee rope i have, it's really fast, and it's not even the fastest one he offers:

http://www.buddyleejumpropes.com/complete-rope-systems/font-colord4d4f7dfontbuddy-lees-rope-master-jump-rope-redblack



here's the nike rope that i used to use, from sports authority.. i can't find it on sports authority's website, so here's a link from sears:

http://www.sears.com/nike-speed-rope/p-SP102A18691S6313067406P

but really, any of those ropes at sports authority will due, as long as they are close to 9'..



here's the recovery vid: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePY6-xrTYiI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePY6-xrTYiI</a>

lots of fun little variations in there that will TOAST your heart rate.

peace man!

I was wondering what a good form of cardio would be that I can do in my living room. I really can't jump rope, so would light hops and jogging in place be okay? I'm kinda inspired to do this to get terrell owens lean or something similar because i'm incorporating the leangains/carbbackloading diet approach. I would do this fasted first thing in the morning  for 15-30 minutes, I really can't walk or jog any where. Would agility type drills work?

why can't you jump rope outside? curious.

jump rope is definitely your best option, so.. if you can figure out a way to get that done, go with that.

otherwise, you'll have to do in place calisthenics + circuits such as burpees/in place sprints/defensive shuffles/situps/mountain climbers/quick lunges etc... the key here would just be to get creative & have some fun, always mixing it up.

i'd imagine cossack dancing would be pretty effective.

« on: October 08, 2012, 02:41:22 pm »

how to compensate for that? i mean I could just change the color of the dropdown menu tab when there's new posts, which would alert you of new posts.. as soon as you hover it, you'd get the big menu etc..

peace man

That's not really a problem, when i said hover over the menu and it should drop down, the menu at the sides are the different forums that will be on the menu, then you can have those different menu's with different colours to indicate new post, then you would go to the sub topics, which will also have colours to indicate, which topic has new posts in them and which don't.

Example

if progress journals has new posts in them it would be as follows.

                ADARQ   \/  - Arrow
                                                         
 | Adarq.org Special Content >|
 | Performance Training Blog > |
 | Adarq & LanceSTS - Q&A   > |
 | Progress Journals & Expe > | a fast and explosive donkey |
 | ....
 | and other options

and clicking on the threads could create a pop up box like you did with the conversion tools, which displays the latest unread posts, in order and also an option to go to that thread.

Also i can see the list is long, you could make the Options be the options you have used in the forum i.e. Introduction Area, Blog Section, Members Area

and then a sub option would like in Members area would be journals, call em out, quitters, etc.

and then a sub sub option would be the threads in that sub sub option in order of new to old, with colors indicating if you it is new and wether you have read it or not as when you log in and accidentally log out the new posts are gone only the ones you have posted in.

 ADARQ.org v2.0    \/ - blue is just an example anything,
|
| Introduction Area  >|
| Blog Section          >|
| Members Area      > | | Adarq.org Special Content >|
| Performance Area  >| | Performance Training Blog > |
| ...                             | | Adarq & LanceSTS - Q&A   > |
                                  |  | Progress Journals & Expe > | a fast and explosive donkey |
                                     | ...
so what do you think

nice pseudo-design!@... ya i was starting to not like the idea of getting rid of the left nav column.. so i think the way you propose is best.. we'll have the nav on the left, with easy expansion like you mentioned.

i really love refreshing and seeing boards highlighted as new posts & being able to click through real fast.. with your idea of expanding menus, it's going to be really sick.

off to lunch! ;d

Still the same.

I can't keep at this forever tho, gonna find a gym ASAP.

yup, clicking and dragging worked. not intuitive though.

ok cool least it worked.. ya maybe ill just put a regular scrollbar and get rid of iscroll.. just need to do custom scrollbars because i hate the default ones.. never did that, dont even know if it's 100% possible.

pC

The drag menu thing would have been cool on a touch screen, i guess.

what if we got rid of the menu as a whole and keep the forum style navigation you had in the old forum ..  :ninja: ... maybe.

how about a drop down menu like in windows explorer, file, but it says menu, click on it, a list of all the topics and then you hover mouse over one topic i.e. progress and journals which has an arrow next to it and that will display another menu to the right with the list of all the threads in order of most new to most old like in the forum and click on that to direct to it. we want an internet style look to it and not a windows explorer look to it.
if you get what i mean.

i will try and create an example if possible.

edit: i found something a bit like what i was talking about, looks nice but you can adjust to suit this site.  :headbang:

http://www.webdesigndev.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fancydropdown.html

but in those options you can expand to sub-options and have whatever colour you like for new and old posts)

hello.

great idea.

thanks.

:F

ya that sounds alot better than the touch scroller I have.. good stuff.. then the forum width will go back to normal (so to not compensate for the scroller)..

love it.

i can picture it, hover, menu displays with forums, then hover specific forums to see latest/unread posts.. sounds diesel as f*k.


shit.

the only advantage that the scrollbar has on the side, is that as i'm navigating i can see which boards have new unread posts without me having to go out of my way to 'hover a menu'.. hmm.

how to compensate for that? i mean I could just change the color of the dropdown menu tab when there's new posts, which would alert you of new posts.. as soon as you hover it, you'd get the big menu etc..

peace man
