gonna go dunk after dog walk, man my caleous on my left foot, which protects my "pinkey toe pad", is hurting like a mofo, last night i leaned over and stood on the edge and felt the caleous shift a little, felt weird, then bam hurting like a mofo.. ill be fine once i warmup to dunk tho i bet.
how'd you get the hematoma ? i had a bad calf tear way back, got knee'd in it as i was going up for a layup, so leg basically got pinned in the ground, shit sucked, was on crutches for a month hah.
i definitely relate more to the second link, double leg jumper, he puts alot of effort into his plants.. both guys are pretty tall though, especially pollee.. the best jump of those vids seems to have come off that single leg jump from polee at the end of his vid, the layup.. everything else seemed pretty low for both guys based on head height, not dunking.. i like the 2nd link though, he dunks hard.
bw = 155 (bloated) soreness = calves aches/injuries = none , AFTER STRETCHING ALOT BEFORE LTMP-SINGLES: ham tendon slightly diet = protein/coffee drink, dunking + gatorade/protein-drink + 45-deg-hypers=50,50,slow-25,slow-25, protein/water-drink + half coconut water, lots of running with dog, half coconut water + jalepeno sausage on wheat bread + some chipotle chips, LTMP-SINGLES{unracks=unracking-pin-minus-3=455x1,475xFAIL, calve-raises=265x12, ng-pullups=bad-rom=22}, coconut water + protein/water-drink, big dog walk, salt n vinegar chips + tall cocount water + bag of grilled chicken strips (~4 servings of ~18g protein) + two wheat bread + jalepeno sausage
sleep 8 hours
real happy about the 455 x 1 off unracking-pin-minus 3... need to stay at this pin until i get 475 EASY, then ill drop it back down to pin-minus-4 :F
my half-squat pin 6, is unracking-pin-minus-6 soooo.. pin 4 is really getting close..
hopefully dunking major tomorrow, did held-back-dunking, tons of stretching, light eating, and some heavy squatting partials, recipe for success :F
it can, but by how much, who knows.. they teach it in any kinesiology class but i never cared much for it, seems pretty insignificant to me regarding speed/jumping etc.
"3. Tissue Leverage: Interstitial and intracellular leverage stemming from fat deposits, sarcoplasmic content, satellite cell proliferation and the accumulation of intracellular fluid all provide a sort of "bloat" factor to your body. Believe it or not, the big boys in sport -- the super-heavyweights -- can benefit in limit strength output from being "bloated." For the rest of you, it's not a tenable source of improved fitness."
same 2 u, it might take u a few sessions to get back to normal but you are already stronger than when you started your season.. so you got the capability to fly, kill it.
Well if I take me as an example, when I used to do unracks it was just my entire core "shaking" and feeling this "twisting" thing going on... like my spine was totally unstable and under the possibility of a little twist. You don't need me to tell you how dangerous that is. But if that's not the case for you, then...
well sounds like you had too much weight.. and you were probably holding for time.. i don't "shake" or "twist" at all, i just unrack (and/or walkout) and re-rack.. there's no shaking, it's a strict lift.
if your core is shaking holding a bar for ~5seconds then it sounds like it's too heavy.
Meaning, you're not actually squatting etc. If you were, you were limited by the ROM, TUT, fatigue, leg strength in disadvantageous positions etc to "help" you prevent using too much. But here, you're only limited by "back strength" but if that fails... there's a much lower threshold for error.
but you're in a much better position leverage-wise, if you fail during a "lockout" you hit the pins which are not at all far beneath you. there's much more risk in a heavy full rom squat than a partial rep imo.. with partials you have to progress slow just like anything else, you have to use proper form, same shit, it's no different than full rom lifting except in the loads being used.. people do lockouts with insane amounts of weight, you are in a safer position + have better leverage + shorter rom in order to make those lifts, if you use sloppy form then of course you'll have problems, but the same goes for any maximal lift at any rom.
some stills, went to the other indoor court which they said would be open to 5:30, get there, and a bball tournament is going on.. fml.. so went to 24 hour fitness, should have gone outdoor, court was slippery as hell and it bugged me.. anyway only did like 12 dunks, tomorrow i should be flying im going outdoor.
I use to do that with the rack I had before I got a squat cage, using 2x my body weight, but I'd go back up when I put it back on the rack, like doing a quarter squat. I got up to 255lbs 6x.
hit 475 a pin lower than that in second session, going for 475 soon on yet another pin lower.. starting to get alot more knee bend now with unracking pin minus 3. :F
