im not sure if its just me but you got up NICE! wtf
Do you see any disadvantages in doing leg extension isos (for VMO "awareness") before plyos? As a rule, you should not do isos before plyos because it messes up the proprioceptivity factor and you don't want that, but in this case... I don't know. That's why I ask you if you have ever done them prior to plyos?

glad to hit 405 pretty controlled, and 315 very controlled for 10, but my left shoulder is seriously jacked up.. :/
knees felt so shitty prior to 315 x 10,that's why i did the 315 x 10, to get blood flow, they feel great right now... definitely needed that time under tension/blood flow, helped a ton.

Pushing some nice and heavy weight especially at only 151lbs!!!
I see that you drank 6 protein shakes for that workout day, how many grams do you take per shake and how much in total for the day? Also what do you do for your dietary fiber intake, bananas?
I've been steadily binging on whey protein and the results have been good w/ fat/weight loss and strength increases, I just need to figure out what fibery foods I should be eating with the protein.
Keep making those gains mang, your vert is going to be even more insane down the road when you get 3x your weight for reps!!!









I think you've kind of plateaud for a while in terms of jump height... jumps look the same height for some time now...
You're starting to get those "im pretending not to watch but I actually am because this white dude is sick!" looks lol.
Quotethat one was ~45min or so.. usually an hour, but i've been rushing my dunk sessions quite a bit, really keeping the tempo up, in the last few.. the FAU gym one was 50+ jumps in 45min, yesterday's was 40+ jumps in 45min.. crazy pace, all thanks to massive banana intake haha.
peace man
Adarq, wow your dunk session was 45 min! That is some incredible explosive endurance!!! I'm going to go ballistic with the bananas now for sure, haha.
Did you do another weightlifting session that day as well, and if so pre or post the dunk session?
Also much appreciation for all of your detailed responses always, you tha mang, peace brotha....







































what's that? really long beard? doubt it..
Something a little bit like this....
I remember him crushing some dunks way back on tvs, but nothing like he's doing now... He's definitely jumping higher than ever & deserves lots of respect for his dedication to athletic improvement.The beard is lookin' real good man. Ginger is the killer colour too.
You thinking about going caveman?.

Squat: 419 lbs x 5

Hey, gonna vid more soon! Usually I am somewhat short on time in training or there are a ton of people around in our rather small weightlifting gym. Will definitely try and film some of the bigger PRs though. There should be several of them in the coming weeks!
