still sick, what else is new..... on bactroban (antibiotics) now though, so good stuff.. stamp lump in my right armpit was wigging out today so, we'll see how this goes.. been coughing all day, so now i have kind of a "croupe" cough.. croupe = http://www.medicinenet.com/croup/article.htm
so staph symptoms + croupe symptoms..
regardless, dunked hard today, on 4 hours sleep (couldn't stop coughing for like 2 hours at least), being sick.. im a fucking BEAST.
workout #1: dunks - landed some nice ones, only 45min dunk session total - some nice misses
workout #2: bball + strength - 1 hour of basketball, around 30 minutes of layups/30min of shooting.. -- L-SLRVJ = ~10'6, R-SLRVJ = 10'2 - half squat (good depth): 285 x 5, 305 x 1, 315 x 1,1 -- great speed on most every rep, really had great speed, even on ECC - S1: half squat: 305 x 1, 1, 1, 1 - S1: DB bench: 45 x 10, 55 x 5, 65 x 5, 70 x fail - S1 DB row: 45 x 10, 55 x 5, 65 x 5, 70 x 5 - S2: 45 deg hyper: BW @ 50, BW + 35 @ 25, 25, 25, BW x 70 - S2: stiff arm plate swing: 45 lb @ 5, 5, 5, 5
had an incident in bball gym at night, was doing max effort layups, and i planted on some greese, fucking horrible................. strained my vmo, achy knee for like 30min, feels ok now, but very scary... court was epic clean, so grippy, but somehow a very small piece of greese on the floor right where i planted, this happened after like 20 layups each leg too..
lots of power tonight on lifts.. even tho i only hit 285 x 5, lots of power.. i was just too fatigued from the prior bball work, doesn't matter though at all.
plan to MURDER the rim sunday, back at 38" RVJ.. then get my fucking 40.
plan so far is: (day 1 was today)
[05:13am] adarq: day 1 = x5 workups, x5 work sets, then heavy singles [05:13am] adarq: day 2 = high rep workups, x 10 work set, heavy singles [05:14am] DamienZ: i dont like high rep workups <-- bich skwaaaaaad!!!!! [05:14am] adarq: day 3 = pin squats........ x5 workups, pin 7 singles (workup + worksets)
legs feel real powerful, good stuff.. gotta be extra careful on these indoor gym surfaces, you can really get busted up on them.
peace
ps: dunk video/pics later, landed some nice ones..
Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.
How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS - DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury - DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury - DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury <-- happens every time, STOP IT - as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+ - cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs - utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7
CURRENT GOALS 01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

ya that'd def be good, i'll look for a mod tonight hope they have one, otherwise i'd have to code it.. which could be possible i'd have to just rip the search template .php and mess around a bit..
landed a few nice dunks, went to the other indoor gym first, stupid piece of shit gym was slippery and they told me 'there's nothing we can do about it, "its the humidity", shit was dirty as hell, i wiped it with my own towel it was pitch black, "sorry nothing we can do".. i hate that place.
anyway went to 24hour fitness and surprisingly hardly anyone in the gym the whole time, so i guess that's my new spot.
had a few sick dunk misses i think, nasty height, not sure tho i'll see later.
anyway bbl late tonight.
PS: GOT MY BACTROBAN CREAM BOUT TO KILL THIS STAPH INFECTION BULLSHIT.!@$!@$!@
I'm new to this forum and I see that you are willing to help guys like me to get their first dunk I'm 16, my height is 1,85m, and I weight 73kg. I like very much playin' basketball and training for it.
Full squats: (maximum) 5 reps with 60kg (including the bar). Now, I almost touch the rim.
The main problem is that using the vertical jump calculator, I shoud have a 32.6cm standing vertical jump, but in reality , when I'm under the basket and I jump on both legs, I nearly touch with my whole palm the backboard(just with one hand),so it's not a 32.6cm jump.
you're incorrect in saying "i SHOULD have" etc.. that calculator is not accurate for everyone, don't rely on it.. bottom line, get stronger, much stronger.. barbell squat will correlate to your vert "somehow", you will have your own unique calculator over time, but that calculator is not accurate for everyone.

I'm used to jump from one leg. I get very frustrated when I see other guys, ass tall as me, without working out jumping higher than me and touching the rim.
again that's another mistake, don't worry about how they train to jump how they do.. if you work your ass off you can easily eclipse them, meanwhile, they'll still train the same and probably go nowhere..

I would be very happy if you tell me what kind o training i should do to increase my leaping ability. If you wil ask, I will give you more detailes (maybe some videos) about my workout, how I jump , etc.
Waiting for your answers and c'ya later. Thank's again, JumpMan
PS: please tell me where I shoud continue discussing about this topic.
well, i'd start by filling out that 'free training' questionnaire, it'll give us more insight.. if you want help drop it in the progress journals section and we'll critique your workouts/give you advice.. without going into all that, it's obvious you need to get MUCH stronger, 60 x 5 on squat @ 70kg means you have alot of work to do in the strength department.
rest day, massive mucous first 1 hour of waking up.. later on armpit started stinging/hurting real bad, weak.. but i do feel better... hopefully tomorrow ifeel alot better. plan on dunking early.. wanna dunk light & with caffeine, havn't caff'd up in a while.
Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.
How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS - DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury - DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury - DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury <-- happens every time, STOP IT - as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+ - cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs - utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7
CURRENT GOALS 01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

I don't know if you read this, but he said the following:
"@Cloud3205 haha 6"4 8"2 reach ur right not that much vert to dunk a ball, but putting ur arm in the rim on a indoor 10 foot non ajustable rim? or how about a Cradle between the legs 2 handed reverse dunk on a d-1 MSU rims? or what about a Between the legs dunk where? i put the ball between the same leg i jump off of? the $10,000 check for Next best move winner was nice. U do make good points on height but ill put up $1,000 cash his vert standing or running dont beat mine! any takers? slamsback09 19 hours ago"
Anyway, I did not fix his grammatical errors, but basically he is betting that he can out jump you. Would you measure yours against his if he would agree to it? You could both help set the rules to figure out what is fair.
Anyway, it's not a huge deal to me, but he's saying he's a better leaper than you and I don't agree, he's willing to bet $1,000 he claims, so why not call him out?
well it's impossible to do because he won't stop lying.. he's 6'5 with an 8'8 reach or so.. so ya of course i'd put my hops up against his, but he's always going to claim 6'3 8'2 reach or 6'4 8'2 reach.. notice how he put 6'4 right? now check what he put on a streetball forum last night:
bottom line, i have a vid of him saying he's 6'5 and he obviously gets at least 8'6, and he's not reaching fully.. i don't get how we'd ever compare hops because:
1. he'd probably continue lying about his stats, even if he had a tape measurer ON video he'd lie about the result, he's already done this in a PGD vid.. it was like 6'5 and he says 6'3.... 2. getting him to do max reach jumps on a legit 10' hoop would be hard 3. he isn't going to come down here right now and do it, he's like 240 lb and not even close to where he should be, so he'd get murked in vert right now.. he's not 100%.
so ya, dno what he's talking about flying down, if he came down right now and we tested vert/reach/jumped i'd demolish him, he's probably jumping like 32" max right now.. heh
when he's 100% maybe we'll meet up and do this 'challenge' but who knows.............. heh
peace
Right, I agree that he would lie about things. I was thinking that if you explained how to measure clearly to him, it would be obvious that he was lying to everyone who saw the video...
right i mean he's measured himself on vid and still said 6'3.. he's basically touched an 8'6 net standing and still said 8'2.. it's a lost cause.. if he came correct with his stats no one would be dissing him that's for sure, 6'5 with 40" RVJ is respectable.. some people are locked into an "inflate" attitude, it's like, a compulsive liar syndrome somewhat.. everything they say gets embelished slightly.. it's odd..

I was just trying to get you his "$1,000 cash" lol.

donked.

It may be impossible to do, but I think he wouldn't even agree to challenge you right now for the reasons you pointed out. Anyway, I just don't get why this guy says "hang yourself" then he himself jumps lower than you.
ya the hang yourself comment was whack, below da belt.
it's like, really, over some vert comments/scam comments, gonna say hang/kill yourself?? lol nutty.
i love how people keep telling me i'm "not a dunker", no shit folks, i do the same dunks, only a few, and don't care about tricks, these people are sherlock holmes status.
He also has a squat suit on in the wr video, here is a raw squat video of his, loads his glutes and p chain like a champ, gets plenty of quad activity, great squatting especially for a sprinter.
