Yeah looks like if you get a good bounce on the ball you'd be able to get a dunk in.

The heaviest I ever dunked at was 250 with a semi flat ball so I'd start maybe around there.  At 275-280 I dunked 9ft off 1 step a month ago.

R u going to try and use your S7 to tape your dunking and what not?  If so, let me know if and what kind of tripod you'll use.  I have an S6(bought it 2 weeks before the S7 came out and I wasnt aware there was going to be an S7 at that time lol) and was looking to get one when I get down in weight and get back into jumping.

damn, the fitness tests keep piling up.

Yeah haha that's all of them though, I did 3 counties for my test so one of them will hopefully pick me. 

Adarq, should I just keep rolling on with what I've been doing?  kind of 2 mile speed work I guess you can call it.

i dno tbh.. unfortunately my head is all over the place. you seem to be making steady progress though, so if that is the case, then ya i'd stick with it.

I also will get a 1 week pass for my old gym so I'll have access to the stepper which will substitute for the stairs.

nice



i never watched ash vs the evil dead, but, i dno if this is related.. that dude I used to train way back at MSC, has gotten into acting/comedy. He was in this parody called Ash vs Lobo:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9uKE3kwfOg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9uKE3kwfOg</a>

i dno if any1 remembers him (Derek Russo, Lobo in that video) from my old videos.. he's a cool dude.

Yeah haha except ash has a chainsaw on his arm, the evil dead and army of darkness are I think 80s movies with Bruce Campbell

Holy Smokes batman

I now have a fitness test on August 3rd, August 5th, and August 8th.  My abs are going to be sore as fuck considering 2 of them are going by the cooper standard.

The 3rd is push ups, sit ups and 1.5 mile run

The 5th is push ups, sit ups, 100m sprint and dummy work

The 8th is running with dummy work, stairs and 1 mile run

I hope my achilles will be good by then so it doesnt explode.  Hope for 265 by then.

You know what really grinds my gears?

Ordering online, I just recently ordered brotein powder and brake pads and rotors for my car.  3 days later I get emails for 20% off protein and this amount percent off the brakes with free shipping etc. etc. that I wont be able to use.

lol, i bought a chef's knife earlier this year and then got a bunch of ads for chef's knives. idiots, you think i'm gonna get a second one now? that i'm some kind of ambidextrous chopping machine?

Lol yeah, I think next time I will just order a 2lb jug of protein then when they send me the coupon order the 5lb jug, seems like the only way to beat the system.  I was looking at the "Clever Cutter" as seen on tv product, it's basically a pair of scissors to cut veggies

TV SHOW REVIEW TIME

Ash VS The Evil Dead

Awesome show and I'm not a huge fan of the movies tbh.  Starz was the perfect channel for it to be on because if they had to edit a lot of the stuff out for it to be on another channel, it'd completely ruin it.  The humor in it is kind of dry humor but it works and it was pretty gory which fit perfectly with the show. 

As far as the humor I will give an example, they go to the cabin where it all started in the movies and he tells everyone that he has to go alone because everyone he loves dies that goes there.  Of course they ignore him and show up, events take place and his friend Pablo is in the basement.  Ash hops down into the basement and says something to the line of "Don't worry Pedro I'm coming for you..I mean Pablo."  Before anyone attacks me saying I laughed at a racist joke, I think it was geared more towards him saying Pablo and the girl were his friends and he loved them etc etc and then he forgot his name for a second, just a little quip and thats how I took it.

Synopsis, he gets hammered with a girl and reads her "poetry" from the book(I cant remember what the book was called) but it brought the evil back and he has to find a way to stop it.

I'd recommend it for on your own or if you know a girl that likes horror type of movies and shows then you can "starz and chill"

Scream season 2 looks like it will be coming to an end soon so I will do a review on that mind fuck of a show.

I appreciate the edit of your post, Eric. Just so you know.

Sorry, wasn't meant to be insulting, I thought it was an inside joke.  I only remember everyone seriously picking on people like trainer Mike and a few others.

yeah i hadn't really been single as an adult until the last year. and i wasn't that self-confident as a younger dude. still a wuss in some ways, my buddy was making fun of me the other weekend for not wanting to go up to women at the bar we were at. i believe the quote was, "you're the best-looking dude in this bar but you have the self-confidence of a fourth grader." in my defense, that chick was a smoke show and i did end up going over to talk to her. nevertheless, i'm way more confident than i used to be and that has resulted in sex with a lot of different women. and lots of dates.

anyway, was rushed again last night. and tired, as i said.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squatting, in a weird new way
MENTAL STATE: out of it

- warm up
did some one-step jumps but height was so bad that i didn't press

- squat MSEM 305 x 4
felt like shit, knee hurt. got some power but felt unsteady. blah.

- fuck it

on the plus side, i got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. let the repairs begin.

Do you use knee sleeves?  Also, did you feel your knees caving in towards each other at all?

Went to bed late and late for me is around 2am so I woke up with a big headache and my body ached all over.  Taking a rest day with increased walking at work.

I just got around to eating since I've been in and out of sleep until 11.

Eggsx4
Peanuts x 2
1 complete cookie.

Will have 2 protein shakes before work and eat turkey and what not tonight.

I have to remember peanuts because lately well a few weeks back I had mcdonald's and got addicted to salt again lol.  Those cravings popped up so if I eat peanuts before I leave work I'm good.

There's a new kickboxer movie coming out and it looks pretty bad ass and makes me want to do MMA again.  I'd never compete because if I get one of these jobs it doesn't look professional to go to work with black eyes and what not.

My gym is closed next week for cleaning so I'll have to go to another one because running on a treadmill is lower impact(it's how it feels to me anyway)

this will be a weird olympics.. I would definitely be hesitant about going there and competing, if I was an olympian.. especially if I was in sailing etc, that water sounds disgusting. I don't remember brazil being such a wreck when it hosted the world cup.

Lol yeah, if they changed it from 4 to every year I think they'd sit out.  Unless you're a teen gymnast then you probably only get on average 2 of them

I saw an article that interviewed a doctor in Brazil and the part of the water they will  be swimming in is basically swimming in shit.  He said you will be dodging shit and possibly dodging dead bodies and everyone was warned about not opening your mouth while you're in there.  I will try to find it, it's pretty hilarious 

http://www.cbssports.com/olympics/news/report-athletes-at-rio-olympics-will-literally-be-swimming-in-human-crap/

it doesn't mention the dead bodies in it but that could have just been a funny sarcastic remark.

Imagine seeing the swimmers emerge with like someones old underwear stuck to their face.
