And dark chocolate ain't bad for you..once it's real chocolate! Anyway i'm just giving you my opinion on it man. You helped me out and I wanna help you out. I do know about this stuff- I've studied immunology, nutrition and biochemistry all in depth. I went to one of the most renowned schools for immunology and biochem in the world. I thought the whole idea behind the site is athletes tryna help each other out and that's what i'm tryna do. I don't want you to take it the wrong way bro. I'm sticking by my guns though - i'm betting your diet ain't doing you any favors in the health department.
dude it's fine i'm not upset by your critique, or your advice, i appreciate but i just think you are wrong... i've been eating this way for the last 8 months or so and only recently did i get sick, and it's all centered around that staph infection which i got from a grimey indoor basketball court.. it has nothing to do with my diet.
I can't say whether it is or not..i'm not a doctor and I can't take your bloods or do tests on them to see. Any diet where the majority of your calories are coming from processed foods (Gatorade, candy, pizza, Fastfood Chicken Sandwiches, refined carbs and i'm sorry to say you can include protein shakes in that list too) is not a good diet.
wut? the majority of my calories come from milk/bananas.. i rarely eat candy or fastfood, or pizza..................

You should be eating real food dude. More vegetables, fruit, meat, nuts, grains and starchy vegetables too. Anything that grows naturally - plant or animal - and ain't been fucked with - that's what you wanna be eating. You're getting way too many calories from sugars and processed carbs. Your fat intake is majorly screwed from what it should be too...I know you're dropping weight and that's great for vert training but the way you're eating ain't gonna do wonders for you immune system or your bowels man! Just being real.
my immune system was fine for what, 6-8 months on pretty much the same diet as i am on right now, so how all of a sudden would the diet be bad? it's not, i got staph from an indoor basketball court surface..... and it's what has been making me sick for these last 4 weeks.
my fat intake is fine, i get moderate fat from peanutbutter/milk.

The great thing about this website is we got you and other people who have knowledge in different areas. People like me can go to you for advise about that. Biochemistry and nutrition is what I know about and i'm telling ya man - Your diet ain't doing you any favors.
you mentioned things about my diet being bad, that don't exist... those are rarities in my diet, and since when is dark chocolate bad for you? or chocolate in general? it's advised by most health gurus.
bottom line, my diet is fine.. so are the diets of eskimos(inuits), kenyans, bedouin nomads, etc.... my diet is far more nutritious than their diets, they eat whatever they can for survival, i pick and choose, getting in much more fruit.
my fiber intake is well beyond the recommendations.. i take 6 (or more) healthy shits a day with what i eat, never diahrea or any of that.. my diet is clean.
Adarq - As much as I love the website and what you're doing for everyone - and I gotta say this too, so don't be pissed at me, your diet just ain't healthy man. Not by a longshot! If it was playing a significant part in you being sick/not feeling I wouldn't be suprised!
i hocked up some insane loogie chunks...... only good thing about today is i'm in the 150.0x's
MIGHT workout tonight, not sure, if i do, i got to keep HR way down.. so nothing crazy, though ill still prolly hit volume squat.. i literally could be dead if i train too hard lulz.. if that staph ends up giving me a crazy fever gotta goto a doc immediately.
By the way, any idea why you don't naturally use a one-leg jump? Lack of practice or other reasons? I mean, at your weight a one-leg jump would be pretty "natural" (if you consider only weight and structure as factors). But then again, Justin Darlington is light as heck and he jump off two.
well, i've always been a "single leg jumper" for layups etc, my preferred jump style for fast break layups/max effort "layups" would be single leg.. but i've always dabbled in double leg when trying to touch the rim, for some reason.
my single leg RVJ is improving again, ive been getting over rim nice off dribble for layups etc.. gotta work on some max effort SLRVJ's once i get healthy.. getting real light again so my body will want to do it.
-that 2nd dunk, the two hander was sexy as fuck no homo. you cocked that shit back and timed it perfect.
hah thanks man
Quote
-that slam dudes like at least 6'6 with huge hands of course he can do between the legs and windmills
exactly.. good for him but he needs to stop talking shit.

-im astounded by how you stick to that diet of yours. it doesnt even look like you eat a whole meal like ever always just a few little essential things here and there. thats dedication. i'm really inconsistent with keeping that last 5-10 pounds off. i been eating like nonstop lately after cutting down on food for a while. i havent gained more then 5 pounds and even though i'm eating like twice what i was before im almost positivfe my weight will stay where it is now.
ya man it's kinda difficult when you see chocolates everywhere, gatorade powder, bread, etc.. i just wanna dive right in and scarf it up.... but i want 47" RVJ much more than chowing down so it overpowers the urges.
so, knowing i'm meant to be light, which is pretty obvious by my build, it's just not as hard for me to really buckle down and focus on diet.. regardless of what anyone says, my diet is pretty healthy.. i feel GREAT on my CURRENT diet.. i went off on a bad route in december/early jan, but now i'm back on track.. i feel much stronger eating like this, much lighter, just much better in general.. i feel better as i get lighter though, it's always been the case for me.. got to make a push to 140 then i'll be set, 45" RVJ's all over the place after a few months at 140.
but ya man it's just a will power thing.. but i love bananas, so its' easy to eat like that.. i miss my milk, for sure, but, im thinking its contributing too much tm my mucous production so, got to back off for a while.. that's the one thing i miss about my current diet, is the milk.

i admire your dedication i need to get back on that before i get back serious into dunking.
thanks alot man.. i'd be 145 by now, flying, if it weren't for all these lame ass setbacks.
Ok, well that's up to you, ever tried it the other way the last couple of years though (same situation you're in now)?
Jumps looked back on track so I expect big things end of feb mang.
thanks man, i was surprised at how good some of those jumps were considering.. it definitely gave me some extra motivation for when i get healthy.. 40+ is in sight.
i had some intro where i talked on vid, prior to the dunks, but i took it out, i was coughing and shit it was funny.. voice basically gone, sounded real sick lol..
hoping i feel better tomorrow, plan on squatting for volume tomorrow night.

Ps. Last tip is jarred veggies are extremely cheap (I'm a persistent s.o.b., I know) and depending on the brand they're pretty good as well.
jarred veggies? you mean like canned veggies?
i plan to eat more eggs and more bananas so that's where my budget is now.. i'd like to start eating 3 eggs a day + 6-8 bananas.
antonio silva vs fedor, everyone into mma go watch it.. i am actually starting to think antonio silva could win the entire grand prix, amazing.. he is SO strong, so huge, chin is granite, very skilled standing & on ground..
fedor hit him with bombs and it didn't do shit to him..
fedor gets the utmost respect though, how he survived round 2, no one will ever know.. survived full mount for like 2.5 minutes, survived two subs, survived crazy GNP.. what a monster.. too bad his eye BROKE or whatever the hell happened..
ill link the fight when it becomes avail on youtube, def worth watching.
another dunk mix with raptor aka "voice of an angel dunker" on the mic
staph infection + flu-like symptoms, pretty happy with how i got up.. today i can't even talk and i feel so sick, so glad i dunked last night.. lol
rest today.. miraculously the staph lumps didn't get worse today... stayed the same, good sign! really sick though, lost voice, headache, tons of mucous.. hah

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

You didn't survive a gang-related shooting to put up with this kind of shit.
lol
ya he's just dumb.. i've given him props many times for his dunking, even when he was talking mad shit to me.. my problem with him is his promotion of squatflex and how he said it got him his hops, and then in a video years prior, he claims all of his hops are natural, and he was jumping the same.. shit like that.. he's a scammer.
ya i know right... fucking need to get healthy and i'll hit it, shit is pissing me off..

Ps. way to ignore my last post mang smh.
i didn't ignore it, i replied to you in my head then forgot to type it.. bottom line it aint in my budget heheh.. bananas are more important imo.. diet is going good right now though, im feeling good regardless of being sick/staph coming back, feeling good as in, strong/light etc.. if i can shake this staph shit i'll be on my way to some nasty jumps.
fml
doesn't matter how i eat, i'm an injury prone/sickness prone dude.. heh
Have been getting a crucial ache in my knee (ITB, maybe plantaris), calf, Achilles, heel and top of my foot just before the third and fourth toes. There's a dirty trigger point (or 12) in there somewhere. I haven't had an ache like this in a while so I'm gonna get to the gym early tonight and do a shit ton of SMR and stretching and shit.
Plan for tomorrow is to walk a whole lot with my dad (he's doing a 60 mile hike over 4 days for his 60th birthday, I'm joining for day 3), so it would be nice to be free of lingering leg pain before I get into that.
damn your dad is beast.. sounds fun, hope you're health for it.
Great walk. I ended up joining my dad for the last 13 of his 16 miles yesterday. Beautiful day and I love spending time with him, so it was really nice.
Went to a Utah State University basketball game today against Fresno. Student section was AMAZING. The vibe in the spectrum feels unreal. I got to be part of this madness today... it's twice as epic when you're in the middle of it.
They have some pretty good players too. Saw quite a few nice dunks. More on USU side of course.... because we're better.
they did that when you were there? pretty cool, really intense..
not to go off on a rant or anything, but, i find that kind of unity odd.. i've never had it.. i've never felt that kind of 'unity' with my high school, college, country, or anything.. i lack that "my bleh is better than yours", fill that in with country, school, team, anything.. it's odd.. like for team sports, in reality, i don't really support any team, i just support the players that I follow.. like I watch nba now for lebron/blake griffin and stuff like that.. i remember watching a playoff game with the spurs, and tim duncan got hurt, at the opponent's arena... and everyone was cheering him off the court, even though he was hurt/being helped out/into the locker room.. it's odd, i genetically seem to lack a 'blind support' for some kind of state or organization confined to some borders etc.
dno, weird rant, but videos like that make me think about it..
a good example of it would be the pacers/detroit pistons incident, where those home fans were just going apeshit, then finally someone throws a drink on artest... to me that's just unfathomable.. that's such a deep loyalty to a team/franchise that doesn't truly have any loyalty to you, odd.
s1: Bench: 5 x (65, 75, 85, 90, 90, 85) s1: rows: 5 x (50, 55, 70, 80)
had walked off to psyche myself up for another top set. this was a set i got last week, tho the last rep was abit icky. after getting all hyped up, i walk back to the rack, and saw the bench put to an incline. 2 faggots were hanging themselves upside down, doing decline bench press. with 2.5kg each side.
eek wtf?
