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...

Well I don't mind it too much. To each his own, though. At least your respectful to me unlike many douchebags in America...

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.

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.

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.

Been fasting since 3:30am (it's 4:15pm here now). Can't eat or drink till 8pm.

Could never understand what food has to do with God or religion.

It is believed by muslims that everything that God prohibits is for our own good (alcohol, masochism, smoking, uncleanliness) EXCEPT for fasting. Food and water during sunlight hours of ramadan is the only thing that is prohibited not for our own good, but strictly for the love of God. However it also teaches us self-control, how it feels to be hungry and thirsty every day and thus compel us to give to those that don't have, to appreciate the food/water that we do have, and a few other things.

Absorption is something most people don't take into account.

....let alone the rate of absorption of protein.


whey doesnt even reach peak absorption until about an hour after you ingest it. Take your whey right before lifting, and if you finish in an hour, you'll get the most of it that way (especially if you take some simple sugars peri-workout).

« on: July 09, 2011, 06:15:00 pm »
Friggin horrible! BUT that just means there's so much room for improvement... if that was perfect jump form then you would have trouble gaining more inches  ;)

1. You're going to have to run faster.
2. You're going to have to learn to come into the basket at an angle.
3. You need to jump further from the basket at take-off (I have this problem too).
4. You're barely even.... planting. I swear, on both jumps, I thought you were going to take off from one foot.
5. Practice jumping without the ball first to work on technique and learn to use your arms when you jump (the swing).
