Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: August 20, 2011, 11:32:40 am »
a few real hard dunks, some of these stills are from my warmup jumps, forget which.
i hate how the heat shuts me down.. indoor i can go 30+ jumps and feel good.. outdoor with lots of heat, 15 is tough.
lol looks funny:

adarqui said that he had disc, back injuries from deadlifting years ago... he had those lightning bolts too...
You did? So you had the same problem as I have now? What did you do to solve it?
yup, had shooting pains down my leg from horrible form deadlifts, before i knew anything about proper training/while i was in computer science, could barely walk, lasted about 3 months, thats why i got obsessed with exercise science, to fix myself.
i did tons of prone superman's and then eventually progressed to 45 degree hypers, thats how i fixed my back.. took months.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: T-DUBS biggest secret. Elastic winding & coiling.
« on: August 19, 2011, 08:11:02 am »why is everyone just talking out of their ass, i don't get it.

Those fucked up threads are beginning to get really annoying!
Backpedal strokes , NBA players that don't train because they can already dunk , top secret T-DUB secret and so on...
Raptor, we all agree there are better and worse plants ( although you are being dogmatic about rotation etc , each body is different and has a different optimal plant ).
EDIT : picking random Vince Carter videos , comparing uneven things (old VC - young VC / open court one hander - pivot dropstep 2 hander) and making arguments and rules out of it = broscience.
But this is a wrong thread to talk about this , this is a thread that talks about "T-DUBS biggest secret. Elastic winding & coiling."
"T-DUBS biggest secret. Elastic winding & coiling."
"T-DUBS biggest secret. Elastic winding & coiling."

im just glad i learned today that the reason vince carter jumps lower, is not because of his what, 14+ nba seasons with 82+ games each, it's because he is rotating less into his plant and thus using less p-chain, even though their are vids of him jumping crazy high in his prime with barely any rotation..................................... just happy i learned that today.

« on: August 19, 2011, 07:27:39 am »Check 3:45 here:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHxq9HHnHCI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHxq9HHnHCI</a>
what about it?
There's a lot of rotation in his plant there. As I observed Vince his entire career, the difference in now vs. back in the day in terms of his plant is his lack of rotation, more quad involvement and less PC, and high center of gravity in his plants now (and lower jumps).
the video you posted of him, that dunk, he's barely getting off the ground..
what about here?
or here?
"the difference in now vs. back in the day in terms of his plant is his lack of rotation, more quad involvement and less PC, and high center of gravity in his plants now (and lower jumps)"
incorrect, the difference now is that he's older, nothing more.. it doesn't have to do with some secret spiraling technique that has disappeared from his arsenal.. furthermore, since when is rotating into the plant less quad and more PC? why is everyone just talking out of their ass, i don't get it. rotating into a plant should be more quad, more calf because of how you're "Breaking".. if you jumped straight ahead, linear, it's much less of a breaking effect, which would be less quad.
raptor don't let sickenin vendetta take you down with him, he's drowning, as usual.

« on: August 19, 2011, 02:07:24 am »Quoteyou have to strengthen them maximally & dynamically.. maximally would be things like double & single leg standing calf raises + seated calve raises + various inversion/eversion strengthening exercises with tubing or just by itself..
dynamic strength would be stuff like single/double leg line hops for speed, single leg balance board, sprints, and all types of low level reactive work such as lateral barrier jumps, pogos, mr halftucks etc.
Any idea on how to fix pronated ankles? It doesn't bother me at all, it just looks weird and can get worse as time goes on I'm sure. I'm probably on a scale of 1-10 a 2 for severity. I don't have $250 bucks to dish out to buy custom orthotics. It's not associated with any pain or anything, just wondering how to get it fixed.
Would inversion drills help?
Thanks.
unfortunately i never give advice on that stuff.. i've never worked with it to the extend i'd need to, to give advice on it.. it's better to talk to a foot specialist etc, but try to find some solutions other than orthotics.

« on: August 19, 2011, 01:44:17 am »Can somebody answer what I asked though..so how do tendons produce force without myosin adarq?
Ppl like justin Darlington for instance, is it really their muscles producing most of the power or tendons and bones maybe?
tendons are springs... in terms of jumping/sprinting, they get loaded when muscle contracts eccentrically/isometrically, which causes deformation in the tendon, which is similar to a 'rubber band effect', elastic energy is stored in the tendons as the muscles lock up and produce force, then this energy is released when the tendons return to form.
regardless of the athlete you're talking about, the muscles are producing plenty of force in ballistic movements, but the variations in tendon length/insertions etc causes some to be able to store/release more energy than others.. a longer achilles by only a centimeter would provide ability to store far greater elastic energy than a tendon of 1cm less.
