I agree that i stepped way over the line, but, what I said is the truth. Calling his son unathletic wasn't a polite thing to do, but he brags about molding his kid for years, unfortunately using many schroeder-like ideologies, but what does his son have to show for it?.

West will know for certain there is FAR more to running fast than ISO extremes.

Old time strongmen were massive on ISO's, I would bet a good chunk of money many of them couldn't run that fast.


What time duration did West recommend his son hold these ISO's for?. 5mins?.

ya well the typical iso protocols they use are 5 minutes, bodyweight, "pulling yourself into position maximally".. he mentioned that he found 1min isos more effective later on down the line, or something like that.

dno, don't care about iso extremes.

how'd u find that? kinda cool actually





man i love this top-down approach to pin squatting.. once i hit 475 off pin 7, time to go down to pin 6 and try and work up to 475 etc.. id like to hit 475 off pin 7 before jun and 405+ off pin 6 before june.

listen i'm not whining, i like some of the articles korfist puts out on there, good stuff......... even more so, I like the WGF youtube videos which he rarely puts out.

but.................. what a bunch of wimps.. I post my april 2011 dunk mix, one guy replies - really enjoying it, then mr west58 acts like a complete douche, i chew him out, and my thread gets deleted/I get banned.

bottom line, if you want to learn how to train like a pussy and obsess over "foam rolling/iso extremes", going to a mat specialist, and becoming a parasympathetic athlete while measuring your stool softness, go on over to wannagetfast.com and train like a bitch. Some people will be like, "hey adarq, why are you giving them site traffic by even listing their website on your forum"? Well, I still will enjoy reading that forum through my proxy firefox plugin, because at least once a week someone actually makes a post, and it is usually filled with hilarious overanalyzing.



west58, if you ever get the balls, come on over to this forum and get raped.

ya i know my reply is bad but I meant every word of it, I never expected to war with anyone (other than james colbert) on that forum... too bad they deleted the old forum, alot of humor was lost.




CENSORSHIP = WEAK, THOSE PUSSIES OVER THERE @ WGF CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH.

I agree, he was obviously taking a shot at you, probably because he claimed he could get someone to a 2xbw squat in a month or whatever, and you called him on it.  

nah that's jgvbl btw lolol

this is the thing, if they are gonna delete your post, they shouldve deleted his too, to begin with, then there is no arguing.  its fine if you want to run a "no beef" type form (weak imo) but you cant take sides like that.  thats the same thing with tnation, its all fun and games when their veteran posters talk shit, but then when they get destroyed, delete those replies.  <-- weak as fuck.    I have never deleted anybodys posts that I responded to and went back at on any forum, if youre going to delete one of them you need to delete them all. If youre going to host a fight, then you host a fair one. If they wouldve deleted his post to begin with, nothing wouldve came of it.

right, just delete both posts.. that's why that ban stands out, it's one sided.. They didn't ban James Colbert, they let him dumb down that forum for years. That forum should thank me (and others) for going to war with colbert/the schroeder nuthuggers who were misleading everyone.

You know what should technically be considered "boring"? Watching iso extreme videos, but you never saw anyone on there complaining.... This same reject who obviously has a beef with me, who calls my video "boring", will sit there and watch 5 minutes of someone being in the same position, and get excited by it.. perhaps even have a nice fap sesh.

u kidding me? lmao.





exactly, same issue with t-nation.. we're all having a good time, it's an obvious troll thread, having fun, then they delete the best posts and leave the trash..

censorship is lame, either let it all or don't let any of it, don't favor one side over the other.. West58 is probably a mod/admin on the forum, he's glad to get me off of there, no one can call him out on his soccer-mom training anymore.

Adarq,

imo you stepped way over the line with your response...

I agree that i stepped way over the line, but, what I said is the truth. Calling his son unathletic wasn't a polite thing to do, but he brags about molding his kid for years, unfortunately using many schroeder-like ideologies, but what does his son have to show for it? He purposefully keeps his kid from lifting using traditional methods, because he's still trying to get him to "fire right". The attack on his coaching of his son is definitely the only questionable part of that post, because let's not forget that he has wasted many young athletes time & energy by experimenting on them with iso extreme training protocols. In his position, he shouldn't be "experimenting" on anyone other than himself. As a coach you're supposed to utilize methods that work with your athletes, not use them as lab rats having them utilize ridiculous training methods.

yes they can be idiots, but there is no reason to verbally assault west58 like that.

I disagree, he had a go at me, so I had a go at him.

Furthermore, it is true a lot of your videos do look the same.  You are getting higher on your jumps but it is hard to tell...its like a sprinter posting his videos of his races, race after race, without the times...they look pretty much the same because the improvement is so gradual.  

I understand that much of my videos look the same, i'm working my ass off to keep pushing my limits and get to where I want to be, but unfortunately that doesn't include learning a new trick dunk every day of the week for months on end. Sprinter's videos always look the same, so do high jumpers, olympic lifters, etc. EVERYBODY'S VIDEOS LOOK THE SAME. Dunking is unique in the sense that you can show people something they have never seen, regardless of the vert achieved, or some new trick/ability. Comparing dunking to sprinting/high jump/whatever is basically impossible. It's like saying "dude, all you do is the same forward sprint, can you run backwards or do some kind of one leg sprint in your next meet?"... People who hate on my dunk videos for the "trick aspect", are people who are just looking for a reason to hate.

My situation is far different than a sprinter posting vids and not including his times.... If you look at the last time I posted videos on there, the progress is clearly evident, so you can in fact see that I am "jumping higher and landing harder/more impressive dunks", which would equate to demonstrating improvements in sprint time.

Here's the main issue I have with your stance: I don't go around posting "That's boring i've seen that 100 times" on people's videos who are working their ass off. His comment was hardly justified, because the footage I posted is way better than any other I have ever posted on that forum. He doesn't follow my adarqtv youtube, pretty sure of that, so it's not like he had seen everything that was in that video, in fact he hadn't seen any of it. People who follow my adarqtv account, who are into seeing others progress & support them, also commented on that video with positive feedback, even though they have already seen every dunk in that video... Those people would actually have a legit claim to being "annoyed", since they are watching footage they ALREADY saw, the exact same footage...... but they aren't, they are people who, for the most part, if they don't have something positive to say about a video, they leave it unsaid.

I wasn't trying to get my dick sucked over there at WGF forum, I was simply posting a video which demonstrates all of the hard work I have been putting in. The very first reply I got from "Ryz" was extremely positive. I am open to negative feedback, but more from a "performance standpoint". Forget tricks, simply keep raw vert/hard dunks and training. It's not like i'm posting a video where i'm jumping "lower or the same as previous videos". It's not like all of the work I put in has resulted in me "squatting less weight or working out with less intensity". Those would be valid gripes. What I posted was a video which demonstrates my improvements in vert/athleticism, due to my work ethic with training, so for someone who is full of shit to go right at me and "call it boring", looking for a reason to hate, is very disrespectful. That's a performance forum, NOT A DUNKING FORUM, that is a VERRRRRRRY big difference. A dunking forum has more of a right to just tell me to get lost, because i'm not improving my tricks like I should be, i'm not going out and practicing on low rim to make sure I get that windmill down etc, so to dunker's I am "not dedicating myself to the game"... But from a PERFORMANCE STANDPOINT, there is without a doubt that I have improved my athleticism greatly compared to previous videos, and that is why we talk on performance forums & not dunk forums. Think about Ryz's initial reply to my video, and then think about west58's, look at it from the perspective of "improving athleticism", not dunking/tricks... "West58: Boring, need more props" etc.. ... ... ...

So his reply was very disrespectful from a coaching/athletic improvement standpoint, that's why he got his anus gaped.

When I see someone working their ass off for power/speed/vert, trying their hardest to improve, I never offer negative feedback, only positive suggestions, and i'm always supportive. If this person just so happens to be using dunks to demonstrate that improved athleticism, I don't look at it from a "ability to do technical dunks" standpoint, I look at it from a pure athleticism standpoint. If I want to watch trick dunks, I'll go watch TFB videos.. Regardless, i'm rarely EVER one to cast the first stone, once one is cast my way though, I go at you, it's a problem in the business world/shaking hands world, but it's me, don't disrespect me and we won't have a problem, it's even worse in person, but it rarely ever happens in person. West58 wouldn't utter a negative word to me in person, and i'm not acting like a tough guy, in person you can see my dedication/passion/intensity way better than on video, disrespecting it in front of my face just never happens, because weak minded negative people never enter that realm.

That brings me to a question: for someone who values the importance of detailed progress trackers, why don't you include how high you jumped?  That is the most important aspect of your training (jumping higher is your goal), so it would make the most sense for you to log that too.

If you then included the height of your jumps on video, it would perhaps make them less "boring".

Well, all I care about is 47, head on rim. I got tired of claiming numbers based on dunk stills etc. That wrist band I wear in each video is 4 inches, with a reach of 95", and my hand is 8 inches, so anyone wishing to formulate numbers from a video can do so a bit more accurately given the wrist band.

Hitting my head on the rim is the goal, but that doesn't mean I want to give any importance to any number less than 47... Being proud about any number less than 47 would hold me back. I'm already at war with my body to try and get it over 40, I can't even waste mental energy worrying about exact measurements other than just a quick visual of how high my forearm is on rim or how close head is to rim, other than that, i don't care about it anymore.

Including all of those numbers in the video would also be hell and annoying :F

peace

Stills looking fantastic!

thanks alot cowed

I lol'ed at the knife on dog on neck comment.

me2
hah

if they don't bother you, then they can be a nice bodyweight exercises to get some kind of strength stimulus if you don't have access to weights.. if you have access to weights i'd stick with walking lunge/BSS/stepups.

i actually hurt my knee pretty bad doing full ROM pistols way back hah.

pc

probably better as an assessment exercise then a strength/muscle building one
