« on: October 07, 2012, 01:35:19 am »
not sure how people are going to take to the left sidebar.... im on the fence about it.. one part of me loves it, the other part of me is against such a 'radical addition/change'.. so im not sure.. so far im only putting boards in it.. not sure if im going to put recent posts etc........ maybe i can have some buttons at the top or something to customize it..

i do like how when ur nav'n the forum, if anyone posts something, it will show up 'green' at the top..

i've been navigating alot quicker with it.. and the recent posts in subforum feature of it is pretty good..

dno..

btw it's a "click and drag" scroll thing.. ie 'touch scroll'.. the left most icon is the button which takes you to the destination.. the middle is just text etc.. if the middle was clickable we wouldnt be able to click and drag.



anyway.. im also thinking about putting 'recent posts' and 'active users' on the top of the forum.. id rather it be at the top than the bottom.. makes more sense too.

props to loop.. ridiculous.. can just scroll right through the data & get a visual on everything.. biggest thing that stands out to me is august 2011.. bodyweight ~170, seemed to be getting lots of work in with jumps/dunks, squat seemed to be creeping up to it's highest levels (255x6).. recent PR in SVJ though, lower bodyweight/increased leanness probably helping.. need to get that squat back up nice and easy with this new BW and it's more PR's.. jump squats might have been helping to improve/stim the actual squatting too.

love the 8's.. going to buy 2 more pair, then eventually get the 9's.

the grip and bounce of the 8's right out of the box is incredible.







i really want these :F







9's:









the 8's are $29 on eastbay right now.. i can get 4 pairs of waffles for the price of one cheap basketball shoe.

BW = 172
SORENESS = right hamstring
ACHES/INJURIES = right knee
FATIGUE = low


any time i stretch my hamstrings, my right knee gets dorked up.. i have to keep stretching it and loosen up whatever the hell is jacked up inside of there.


SESSION:

3 MILE JOG MIXED WITH SINGLE LEG JUMPS/POWER SKIPS
- this stuff feels so good.. really focusing on flicking my ankles on the jumps/skips
- i basically just jog and then randomly accel into a jump
- i did plenty of jumps each leg, getting up higher off left than right

S1: SSBAR CRAZY-DEEP SQUAT (elbows resting on knees): 75 x 5, 125 x 5, 145 x 5, 165 x 5
S1: SINGLE ARM DB OVERHEAD PRESS: 40 lb @ (R=20, L=12), (R=21,L=7)
S1: SINGLE ARM DB ROW: 40 lb @ warmup

S1: SINGLE ARM DB BENCH PRESS: 50 lb @ (R=18, L=12), (R=18, L=12)
S2: SSBAR CALVE RAISE: 125 lb @ 1 x 20



man i love jogging with jumps mixed in.. this is possibly the greatest revelation i've ever had.. heh

im probably going to spend 1 month doing this stuff before i hit up a basketball court..

i'd love to be able to hit ~24" or so off a few steps with single leg RVJ while jogging.. i think im like ~18" or so right now, off my left leg.



on a side note, my new NZWR's are INSANE.. i got the same ones as zach/pelham.. they feel better than any other waffle racers i've had.. going to buy me two more pairs soon :D

with a dead end job and simple life

well, just make sure you're also hellbent on improving some kind of skill/knowledge that will get you a better job/career.. nothing worse than taking all of that anger/aggression and focusing it entirely on training.. training most likely isn't going to be our future.. sure it's one of the best tools to help with our situations, but nothing is more important than knowledge.. knowledge will take us further than any form of training/exercise will.. i mean you can even combine training with a quest for knowledge on everything related to anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, etc... then look to get into s&c coaching etcetc... i mean i'd advise focusing on TECH (big money jobs as you progress, relaxed atmosphere, excellent benefits etc), but obviously most people aren't going to want to become programmers/administrators etc.

+1 Def agree with that one, training is like a tool as well like a hobby but not as a future.
Programming all the way  :headbang: as well as engineering, science and other cool stuff.

right now im just working on a crazy vert and general athleticism. my goal right now is a really really good vert. id like to go out for a dunk contest like you did eventually.

cool man


Quote
in the back of my mind i sometimes think back to college ball or community college not sure how feasible. maybe if my girlfriend got a significantly higher paying job and i could quit mine. not sure what my eligibility situation is. a lot of stuff would have to fall into place for that happen and im not going to force it but not completely out of the question yet. i do miss competitive ball. pick up or rec league aint the same.

damn.. you and ur girl must be pretty close for that to even be considered an option (quit job). :F



Quote
i also been thinking about getting into boxing. i don't really have a good body type for it so i'd just do it for fun and cardio for my dunking.

as a workout itself, boxing training is ridiculously fun/effective.. if i had a real gym nearby i'd be there without hesitation.. unfortunately most boxing gyms now are 'globo gyms' with crazy fees/yearly contracts.. i miss warriors -> they turned the heat on inside the gym, shit was ridiculous.. like working out in an oven, drenched beyond belief.. tons of people all working crazy hard.



Quote
i probably should rephrase dead end because i know there are MUCH worse people out there. i work for a health insurance company and make about 14 an hour and it is stable. there may be some better jobs within the company but i dont know what they are or how to get there. i have a few bills/expenses though that perhaps make it feel like i'm worse off then i am.

ah...



Quote
life is always a balance of longshots vs safe options. passion vs reliable. fun vs smart etc etc. ive decided since i'm only young once im going to work on my athletic goals for maybe a couple years as my main thing other then work. i feel like i could regret not seeing what i'm capable of later. after a while of giving it that 100% i can move on and do it more casually. that said i wouldn't mind learning something like programming on my own. i'm a very driven person and would like to show off what i'm capable of.

well, just make sure you are consistent and really track your numbers, fatigue, soreness, bodyweight, etc, so you can get a better picture of how you're progressing.


Quote
i really dont know what my situation will be in a few years. i might try to get an RN license in a few if i dont come up with anything better. they work for the insurance company i work for and just review cases over the internet and make like 22/an hour something like that. theres also hospitals of course and there's always a demand for them.



Quote
what're you hoping to do? i remember you had been a s&c coach and had wound up doing some labor job and were trying to brush up on your coding. whats up with that?

i'm just trying to progress in 'tech', programming/unix administration etc, until im making insane money.. hopefully in 2 years ill be making 6figs per year, that''s the plan.

so far my plan has worked.. took that 1 year to get re-focused with programming and find some tech jobs.

Hi

I just went to the gym i was going to do the squats but i wanted a spotter, the spotter guy said feet pointing forward, when i have it point slightly outwards and slightly bigger than shoulder width, very slightly.
He says not lean forward when going down, but bend your knees instead and also look up and stick chest out, and shoulders back, that didn't help when sticking my chest out my back almost collapsed inwards because of the weight.

your "spotter" gave you typical gymbro advice..

"don't lead forward + look up + bend at the knees" = lmao.

The only thing you had to do, based on your form video, was "inflate" your chest by taking in a deep breath. Your torso angle + chest was fine.. Feet + head position was fine. Looking up is a horrible cue to give somebody. That's oldschool highschool weightroom lore, when in fact looking up can result in injury due to hyperextension of the lumbar or cervical spine.. Looking down at an angle = neutral.

Did you ever see these people squat? No idea if you have or not, but most of these people who give out squat advice have horrendous form.


Quote
I was trying my way but trying hard to keep chest up and i wanted  a spotter and that was the guy who commented.

Just do it your way next time and tell your spotter "this is the way I was coached".


Quote
As for the RDL i saw that you bend slightly over as well as bring your butt back by bending knees and keep back straight and go down and up but another guy in the gym said that's not right even though i didn't feel any pain on my back, he said feet close together, stick butt out when going down, when i try that the ball rubs against my shins and knee don't like that.

he was telling you to do an extremely narrow stance RDL? different exercise..


Quote
I can't record myself, as i only have mobile phone to record me and i don't know who is going to hold it as only members only in the gym.

The process i go through is feet apart slightly more than shoulder width, feet point slightly outwards. go down by bringing but slightly back and down. Then go up but also concentrate on keep chest in front, sometimes it dropped sometimes it was ok.

RDL, when i go down, i stick but back, lean over, bend knees, keep back straight and locked. go down and go up no problem of rubbing.

well, imo, to 'lower youself', it's all from pushing your hips back.. so 'lean over' can be misinterpreted.. you don't want to be actively leaning over, instead you want to lean entirely due to pushing your hips back.



Quote
When i have weight on my back i can't seem to get my chest high like they do in the army, because that way either the bar tries to roll off, or my back is arched and will start to collapse under the weight.

are they right? or am i right but just need to fix my chest up.

they sound way off..

Be careful of who you listen to in a gym. Seems like these guys wrecked your whole workout.

Honestly, these adviceBros in various gyms are almost like 'child predators'. They are always trying to take younger people under their "Wing" and "guide them" to who knows what.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: horrible squat progress questions
« on: October 06, 2012, 10:10:45 am »
if you are getting weaker, it is always one of these issues:

1) nutrition
2) sleep
3) training work load + frequency may be too much for your current work capacity

raptor's comment about considering sleep a workout is great. *IF* you feel fatigued from 5-6 hours of sleep, then it is an issue that needs to be worked out, or you need to reduce the frequency of your training until you are able to adapt to that sleep schedule. Training is CNS intensive; if you are unable to recover properly, at a certain point you're going to take 1 step forward, 2 steps back.. which seems to be your case right now. However, 5-6 hours sleep shouldn't effect your strength too much, especially if that's been your schedule for a while.. A simple ~15-30min power nap can have incredible effects on your recovery/strength, so see if you can get one of those in on some of those 5-6 hour sleep days.

if i had to bet money on it, i'd say your #1 issue is nutrition. You mentioned "eating light to stay light", well, your body probably just isn't at a level where it can do that right now & recover from intense training. Spend this week adding in more lean protein sources and green veggies, see what happens.

You took some time off and are coming back with a vengeance, but physiologically you are not able to handle the current combination of intensity, volume, & frequency combined with those other factors of sleep/nutrition..

How often are you training? You may need to stretch it out more, to allow for some more recovery.. I know that is hard for someone who always wants to workout, but, it sounds necessary at this current time. Instead substitute an intense workout with a light one, such as some light sprints, prehab/activation work, a pool workout, etc..

Finally, just think about the time off you took and how fast you gained strength when you came back. It's a good depiction of "more rest not being a bad thing".


Curious, how often are you training & for how long each session?

peace
