lol..

looks a bit like me before the video is displayed, in the preview.. funny

So what I don't understand is, when I first started squatting, I did quarter/half type squats.  I just went down until I felt my glutes burning up.  During these squats, I would always be sore in my glutes the next day, no quad soreness.

quads weren't "stretched enough under tension" to get sore.

I switched the parallel squats, and now I feel the burn on each rep on my quads like crazy, but no glutes firing.  The next day only slight quad soreness.

ya the quads are contracting eccentrically through a greater range of motion.. weird about the glutes though, perhaps you are allowing your knees to travel forward a bit much instead of really pulling those femurs back as you descend.

Today, I continued my parallel squatting, but for some reason, I felt the burn on my quads AND MY HAMSTRINGS for the first time.

quads/hams could still be a bit fatigued from the deep session? dno, i wouldn't imagine quads would be freaking out at parallel or higher if they hadn't before, sounds like they are still fatigued..

What's going on here?

fatigue from previous session probably.

Also, how come my glutes are NEVER sore now, even if I do dead lifts primarily focusing on using my lower body?  I end up sore as hell in my hamstrings the next day when I dead lift but no glutes at all?

well hamstrings get sore very easily, especially in such a lengthened position when deadlifting/rdl'n.. as for glutes, they probably have just become "too strong" given the movements you do.. glutes & quads are well adapted, hamstrings are suffering/weak link.. if you want to destroy your glutes, try barbell BSS, deep db or barbell walking lunges, or db single leg 'squat' (not pistols)... your glutes will start getting sore again for sure.

bw = 150 <------------------------ WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
soreness = none
aches/injuries = none today
diet = cold shower, protein/water + crystal light, DUNKING + water, cold shower, philly cheesesteaks + fries + vanilla ice cream/butterfinger shake, a few cookies, workout#2{free-half-squat=225x20, 225x10, toast so called it, CR=50+50+50}, cold shower, 5 eggs + jalapeno + 3 bread + olive oil + peanutbutter, 30 minute leg drain

felt REALLY good today... had to go dunk, landed some nice ones, uploading a vid to adarqTV before i sleep (dunks from today).. seems like im getting back on track..

im going to rest completely tomorrow.. got to make that PART OF MY TRAINING, to help heal my damn body up.. my right knee felt good today/yesterday and it's no coincidence that i jumped good.. when im not "depressed" about my knee, well then my body isn't depressed either and i jump normal.. got to keep up cold showers + leg drain.. that salt is helping alot too.

jalapenos have TONS more vitamin-C than oranges, good stuff..



next time i do my high rep squat set workout, im just doing one top set and going all out.. next time ill shoot for 25-30 reps with 225.. legs were toast after that.. less frequent lifting definitely has me feeling weaker under the bar even though the first set of 20 was pretty clean, 15 straight then 3+2.

pC

had some nice jumps today, need to rest tomorrow though.. didn't bust out HD cam koz it looked like it was going to pour and im trying to save tape now on my canon hv30, those tapes are 2 for $20, annoying, digital cams are the way to go.

killed it, btl/mil/tomahawks.. that court is great too.. id dunk on that court alot, really nice hoop.

can you access that court ez or what? you don't go there often.
 

You went hard right there.

thanks very much nightfly.. ya, felt pretty good, like back when i made dunk=surfing dunk mix.. legs felt real good today and knee didn't bug out once, great sign.. hopefully how im training right now will allow my body to keep healing up.

I love how the kids are all running around )

haha ya.. man i love that vid so much.. imo, it's epic :F

i love that park....

i was going to dunk on the outdoor court with the roof, but they have a basketball camp every day all summer until 6pm wtf? nutty... glad i got those dunks in though, it rained bad all day after.

peace man
