Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Timing of Caffeine
« on: May 25, 2011, 05:45:06 pm »
Hey I don't know if you guys have tried this, but today i just set a 1.5 inch PR on SLRVJ with caffeine on an empty stomach.  No protein, just caffeine (and tyrosine).  I usually go with 200mg tablets, but i went on an empty stomach, so i cut my caffeine tablet in half.  I just have to say DAMN.  Definitely don't need as much caffeine on an empty stomach.  Feel Great  :headbang: caffeine is still in the system lol.

awesome dude.. i mostly use it on empty stomach too.. i think the combo of being hungry AND amp'd is a great one.. that's why i'm for eating big the NIGHT BEFORE, so that glycogen stores are filled, yet eating very light day of (prior to dunking).. for example, here's how i did my thing today/last night:

last night: ate a ton, 7 bananas and all that stuff
today: wokeup, bunch of huge shits, protein/water-drink+2teaspoons of coffee + 12oz gatorade drink (packed with a scoop of gatorade)..... then a starbucks double espresso shot right before i went to the gym.. was very jittery/getting up real easy, felt great... oh and protein/gatorade-drink during the dunking.

starbucks double espresso shots are nice, first time having one of those, liked it.. was looking for a redline but they didnt have it so i just went with that, i think next time ill have two double-shots :F

Killer house @ 0:45.

ya man for sure

Killer beard @ 2:43. Just like the good Lord intended.

lol yes. i love my beard except for the food being stuck in it part, and drool when i sleep.

You should feel blessed having so many nice places to dunk at.

ya man, im anti religious but i am very fortunate to have all of these great courts nearby.. south florida is packed with basketball courts, it really is insane.. i imagine cali/ny are like that also.



Quote
If I was into dunkin'/or into basketball as much as you, living in the US, that house you dunkin' in front of, would sure be enough inspiration for me to try out for a D1/D2 team & train my butt off & try to achieve as much as I possibly could & get as high up the basketball ladder as I possibly could.

well i already graduated from college, i have no eligibility for sports.. i tried getting on BCC/FAU college teams, didn't happen.

other than that, basketball doesn't excite me at all anymore.




Quote

Doesn't it give you inspiration, or you not really bothered?. I sure respect your dedication.

appreciate it man..









What i was asking was if i high repped for a week would that improve my 1rm. Like i dont know if ill have the time after then but i have very little to do the next week.

go for it, short bouts of high frequency (short concentrated blocks) can definitely increase 1RM.. see how it effects you.

Was about to write: Adarq's just trollin' but then you posted :(

haha.. i hope people on here don't think i actually talk like that.. i mean i talk some slang naturally but it's not as bad as in the videos lmao.

Anyway, a lot of high jumpers at the facility i train in are actually around 140 lbs @ heights over 6"2' :)

ya, i'd def like to be 145 carb loaded, would feel alot better.. lowest i could probably get with my bodyfat % would be around 140.


pc










im disappointed in the members of my forum who fail to see my epic trolljob.......................

HEH

on a serious note, 145 is as low as i'd want to get.

pc

LMAO. I saw your tnation thread last night and am upto page 9. Legendary.

haha ya that's a cool thread.. thanks.. too bad they filtered my posts & some of my friends posts (who made a few ~midway through)

pc







would a week of high rep squatting be beneficial or pointless?

in regards to what? i've been high repping for a week now, definitely helped boost my jumping.. but my CNS is bouncing up and down lately, it's bugging me.. dno what's up with it.. bouncing up and down way more than i'd like.

ill post last night's workout later, but it was heavy lifts really emphasizing speed, then backing off and hitting speed for some light sets.. 315 @ 3x10 and 225 @ 3x5.. pissed at how my speed was last night, didn't feeel good at all.

peace













some dunks from last few days:

http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2011/05/derrick-rose-x-adizero-crazy-light-whats-in-a-number so i just read that article and it claims that these new addidas shoes are great for basketball and blah blah blah. I remember reading this discussion and it got me thinking. how much do the waffle racers weigh?

waffle racers weigh around 0.6oz per shoe..

Quote
and would light basketball shoes protect the ankle more?

yup they would, such as kobe's etc.. low top bball shoes would still offer more protection than waffle racers, but i personally only train in waffle racers.. thats the only shoe i feel like wearing, they feel great, but they take a while getting used to especially for basketball.. i wouldnt RECOMMEND them for basketball, even though i'd play in them.. my ankles have adapted to them, much stronger now.





Quote
and just if anyone here has tried both and can say which they prefer and why?

PS This is my first post so please respond

no comparison between waffle racers & bball shoes in terms of "lightness + ankle mobiility + activating the gastrocs even more".. but shoes like kobe's are safer than waffle racers..

get used to low/mid top shoes if anything.. high tops are evil imo.

In that lion pic(tho I dun see where it is) adarq looked like he had alot of his forearm over.

So perhaps he got an elbow to rim jump?

well i was reaching up max, the ball was lobbed way too high..

elbow for me would be 44" RVJ.

ok had some pretty good jumps, coolest shit about it is, i couldnt get into 5th gear.. this is all 4th gear shit.. i have some head fatigue that was holding me back, couldn't really do any long full speed run ups either, i tried but shit was off.. crazy shit considering, got up so ez. regardless, landed some nice dunks, nice left 180ish thing too.

if things go like usual, should be absolutely flying in the next few days.. i think im going to try and get on that D1 university court tomorrow.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Timing of Caffeine
« on: May 23, 2011, 01:27:04 pm »
ive been taking 4 tspn of instant coffee with my morning protein drink lately, definitely improves my focus/"twitchyness".. i hadn't been doing caffeine for like 1 month or so, and when i got back on, first time back on it hit me hard, felt real shitty.. but second session i was back to handling it well.

definitely aids in my focus throughout a session, i do get more tired following a session though when im on caffeine than when i'm not on.

Program Review / Re: frank yang "40 inch vertical program"
« on: May 23, 2011, 01:22:29 pm »
it all depends on how you are built for the most part.. some people naturally excel at rep work, like myself, so it's very easy to hit true 8-10RM's without any acclimation phase.. other people will struggle. Also, my 10RM will always overestimate my 1RM because of how good I am naturally at rep work... it's not good to use 10RM anyway to predict 1RM so i guess that point is moot anyway.. but the same applies to 5RM so I guess it isn't moot heh.. my 5RM will always overestimate my 1RM based on how I am built naturally. I recover better between reps than someone who is pure power for example, I can hit multiple grinder's in a set whereas someone who is really powerful struggles to even finish one grinder.

dno just my 2cents.
