Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Any Help Would Be Great
« on: September 13, 2011, 12:11:16 pm »
High protein foods:
- Chicken
- Beef
- Lamb
- Eggs
- Yoghurt (especially greek yoghurt)
- Cottage Cheese
- Milk (8g per cup! Down 2 cups really quick and that's a whole extra 16g protein in your meal...)
- Nuts (cashews, pistachios, almonds, etc)
Make great use of the milk and yoghurt. It's light on you and easy to consume.
Imagine eating a 3 egg omlette, with each egg containing 6g of protein (although some contain 7g).
3 eggs = 18g protein.
3 eggs + 2cups milk = 34g protein
And btw, by cup, don't forget I mean the unit of measurement. Not an actual, physical cup. This is important because a physical cup usually contains more than a cup! Means it's easier to get in those two cups of milk in your.... cup.

Wait, so you've been squatting for 14 days in a row?
Niceeeeeee.
Can't wait to see the jump tests after you take a day or two off. It'll be sick.
I hope your high on caffeine when you test out your SVJ. ALSO, do some heavy hip flexor stretching before the jumps to get you that extra inch!

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Very bad shoulder pain.
« on: September 10, 2011, 11:08:41 pm »
My friend injured his shoulder benching. He said he was benching powerlifting style (slight back arch, elbows slightly tucked).
He got up to a 5RM, and on the last rep, his right arm was higher than his right (thus the bar wasn't level) and he felt some pain in his right shoulder. He didn't want to fail the lift since he didn't have a spotter, so he muscled up the rep and then he heard a loud crack and he had plenty of pain.
Currently, he experiences NO pain in these movements/poses:
- "Jesus pose"
- The Y pose from the YMCA
- Any movement where the hand is still below shoulder level causes no pain.
He experiences the MOST pain in these movements/poses:
- "Hitler pose" and higher
Sorry for the unorthodox pose explanations there, no offense intended, but that was the easiest way I could explain it.
Anyone know what may have happened and how to treat the shoulder?
From what I know, he has zero postural problems and is VERY flexible and mobile.

Some people might like to see them so here we go. I went to electric zoo festival in NYC... mindblowing. So memorable.
I hate that cheesy house music (afrojack, avicii, swedish house mafia) but I LOVE trance (ferry corsten, above & beyond, ATB).
Edit: Not sure why these aren't coming out widescreen even though their HD vids.

Don't you think 2 days rest would be better? That's a crapload of accumulated fatigue. Also, take some stimulants before testing squat/svj like caffiene and GET IT ON VIDEO!!!

^ I don't know much about sprinting, but the only thing I can think of is a change in mechanics leading to a less efficient (aka slower) way to sprint.
I'll creep back into the dark now and learn from afar...

I'm in no position to even hint what your belief should be. I can have an opinion but I'm limited to that. As long as you (whoever you are) don't try to impose stuff on other people, you're free to choose whatever you want to believe in, and that should be the way for each and every person on Earth.

« on: August 12, 2011, 07:41:58 pm »From 415lbs to about 375lbs now. I'm sure my relative went up by like 0.05 but I wanted more than that.
However, I'm looking to bounce back really hard and pack on muscle and strength when I get back. My squat should be back up to 415 at around 195 or 200 pounds instead of 210 pounds.
I would be interested in your VJ performance with decreased bw and same relative strength. I would expect your SVJ to be the same, not sure about RVJ though. Might be that because of its reactive nature (vs. nearly purely power output) your RVJ will actually profit from the decreased bw alone, maybe not though. Would be interesting to know, you should test that for us to learn.
Good luck with it!
I'm going to assume my RVJ and possibly SVJ will be a bit higher because focused on depth jumps also. Haven't done that in years.

« on: August 12, 2011, 04:03:37 pm »You got a tan to complement the weight loss?
nah, my weight loss phase started my first day of vacation.
what's funny is that i had a 38" rvj in that fat/pale pic. I should be hitting 40" after some jumping practice next week, hopefully! My squat dropped more than I would prefer..
Edited the topic title... july 1st I was 210lbs. I got down to 185lbs on August 9th. This picture was from today (~184lbs).
July 1st to August 9th is 40 days. JUST under 6 weeks.
