tomorrow.. it's back

can't wait.

best show on cable.

good stuff.. that last fight on hbo was nuts.. dude's ear was bleeding (from internal?).. i can't believe he made it past the 1st round.. he was wrecked yet managed to survive until round 6 or so? each round he was getting destroyed but would fight back just enough for it not to get stopped.

wtf is up with marquez/pacquiao 4... i seriously would rather watch them fight other people at this point.

mid heavy goodmorings + higher rep weighted GHRs worked well for me. i'm baller.. i have the GHR bench. lol

ghr bench is way diff tho.

we had a GHR bench at MSC/perfect competition etc.. i could bang out GHR bench reps but couldn't even go halfway down on natty-ghr.

u r baller tho.

this has probably already been linked... but i just now finally saw it.

so much strenf that i can't fathom what's going on in this video..

Now I know I "could just use" Gatorade but they're really expensive and I don't know whether they are actually effective or not.
Do you have any ideas of what to use before and after workouts. Do I just buy powders and stuff to mix in to make a shake? If so, which ones work well.
I mainly need it for before and after tennis, basketball, or lifting.

Thanks

everyone gave you good suggestions.. being that you're 14, the biggest thing is just eating the right foods.. you need meals packed with protein and veggies.

if you wanted to go the supplements route:

morning: milk (chocolate milk even better) + 1 scoop of whey
pre-workout: a mix of gatorade powder (1 scoop) and whey (1 scoop) + water (8-12oz)
post-workout: milk (chocolate milk even better) + 1 scoop of whey

that'll do it..

but really understand that it's the REAL FOOD that is most important in this stage of development... veggies + chicken/beef, whole grain pasta/rice/breads etc... limit or completely eradicate the junk/junk carbs/sodas from your diet.

peace

Not sure if sarcasm...

But if sarcasm, then I have to say - it's too bad atg squats ruin your hips.

no i'm dead serious.. for me personally, i have no intention to ever play with natural ghr's again.. they've tweaked my tendons quite a few times.

here's a kind of long raw footage of me just shooting around and getting some light jumps/dunks in. These seem to help with recovery alot. I only did maybe 3 or 4 maximal effort jumps at the end the rest were kind of light easy jumps. It feels good to be dunking and just playing ball alot again. I like to do this every day and just call it basketball cardio. The video is kinda long because it's not really edited I only trimmed the beginning and end of the clip...

nice! those dunks looked effortless..

Adarqui might appreciate the waffle racers

SICK!!!

i didn't even notice, but I DID NOTICE that you were on your toes alot.. which is a biproduct of waffles.

what is your opinion of them? how do they feel?

man i love my waffle racers but i think i'm going to try and get back to dunking in basketball shoes this time around... just need to find some really good light ones.

i'll continue to wear them for pretty much everything else though. my current waffles are wrecked but still usable, those things are tanks.

edit: COME TO THINK OF IT, it may be really hard for me to dunk in basketball shoes.. i really do love how waffles feel when i jump.. and since im focusing on single leg now, they feel even nicer with single leg jumps so.. dno.

It seems my runup is very slow on camera, because I feel like i'm going pretty fast but the camera shows otherwise. Does any one know why or any good exercises or progressions to develop a faster run up and jump stop?

ya runup definitely didnt look blazing but you were also going light and taking short runups..

just remember if you work on runup speed, it's always a focus on a smooth acceleration, not just an all out burst of speed.. has to be rhythmic imo.

any comments or criticisms are welcome...

not sure what to criticize considering it was a light shoot around/light jumps etc..

everything looked pretty good, movements, jumpers, jumps, plant, runups, etc..

personally i would never take slow jumpers ever.. even in a relaxed workout.. i always focused on quick release, it seemed to really pay off.. i had such a fast release that i could pull J's on people in really tough defensive situations and i credit it to always focusing on making sure to maintain speed on the pullup & J.. if i was doing relaxed movements like you, it would be that speed except for the moment i decide to J..

i think that stuff helps.. when you look at a guy like tim hardaway or jeff hornacek (guys i grew up watching), their release was unbelievable.. could J in any situation & with the tightest defense on them.

dno, 2cents. ;0

peace man, nice vid.
