"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word.

"BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU MUST WORK VERY HARD, VERY SMART, AND NEVER QUIT.


1/18/2011

BW = 153.6
soreness = none
aches/injuries = ok here we go, both big toes (left is worse), left knee a little, hm that's it ok nevermind
fatigue = moderate
diet = protein shake + banana, egg sandwhich with cheese + banana + protein shake, protein shake + 2 bananas, turkey & cheese andwich

rest day.. so to my surprise, my right big toe hurt today too wtf? calf raises must have aggravated it.. both toes must have gotten fatigued from jump rope and then those sprints the day after busted em up.. whenever that was (1/16/2011)

iced toes a ton, hoping tomorrow they feel good for dunking.


workout: glute work
- PRH = prone reverse hyper
- PRH @ 50 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 60 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 50


dunking tomorrow indoor.. might be a bad idea but we'll see.






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
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

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

Basketball / Re: Older Nba Dunk Contests - When *IT* MATTERED.
« on: January 19, 2011, 02:22:53 am »
they actually warmed up before the dunk contest and took it seriously.  today the dunk contest is catered to celebrities and homosexuals.  FUCKIN GAY!

lol'd outloud when i read that..

ya man, they cared about winning, maybe it's a societal thing now? might have alot to do with it.. 'looking cool', not warming up, just doing dunks cold with absolutely no sweat, weak finishes, walking off like you don't care.. etc of course that's not everybody, there's a few exceptions.

maybe that russian flight... made that account....

coz he saw his stuff... in "CALL EM OUT"...

LOL.

lol would be funny but nah, he's just some douche.. typical douche.. i usually don't paste that kind of stuff in my journal but, his comment, just cracked me up so much that i had to.. and he's continuing to comment, fun stuff.


Quote
he just want to hate on everything...

or maybe... just 1 typical russian hater!

fuckin faggot!

ya i got nothing against russians, got a few russian friends actually, but to annoy someone, i will call their home country "full of faggots", which i did to him now, so, he should be getting much angrier.. hope he steps up the intensity.

Well, the way I see it, you have two options. 1) You take your anger out on the rim with dunks. 2) You take your anger out on the person annoying with the knife you squat with.


I prefer the latter.

And hey, why'd he insult the socks? I think that's taking it a little too far, don't you think? Make fun of the beard and long hair all you want, but don't you think the socks is beyond abusive?

Cool story, bro. Right on. That's awesome.

he's on my special list, only a select chosen few are on.. mess with the high socks and you're dead to me.

on a serious note, i started wearing high socks because when i worked at MSC (outdoor performance facility), their were tons of mosquitos, and mosquitos love me for some reason.. so high socks helped.. and i just got addicted and now i like them for swag on my dunks..

also, the knife is for protection, everyone on here knows that.. i'm "proactive", not postmortem.. gotta prepare.




i sent him my machette shirtless pic....... LOLOL

Introduce Yourself / Re: SALUTATIONS FROM GEORGIA
« on: January 18, 2011, 09:00:48 pm »
HELLO,

This is pretty much the first time i have properly trained for athleticism. I play basketball. I have a strong work ethic. I got caught because at 5'7.5 i was just not athletic enough. I  used to run cross country so i would be better conditioned, but i have learned that that isnt beneficial for   so after going through all the gimmicky crap for about a year and overanalyzing, I got no results.  I landed on Kelly Baggett's sight and the whole athletic development phases.
I already went through the GPP phase, so i am mobile and I am light on my feet. Right now i am doing starting strength.  I am also doing Truth About Quickness. I know yall arent fond about the marketing techniques, but it has gotten me light on my feet in little time 
I am trying to get my shit in order in regards to sleep and right now getting 8-10 hours of sleep is the habit im trying to get.

sounds like you're doing some good training right now.. welcome man

Greetings and respect to the forum members and it's admin. This is my introductory post. It will be long, can't help it.  :D I wish you all the best in this new year. Never too late for best wishes right? I have found this forum a week ago and spend two or three days reading it. You guys are great. I see you know what you are writing about. I like the CALL THEM OUT part. They deserve it.

glad you're here man & that you like the forum!! yup, call-em-out tells the story.

About me and my vertical training: I grew up as a skinny boy playing hoops all the time I could. As a teenager I could dunk it behind my back and remain hanging on the rim. I have never trained for my vertical or anything else. That's why I became a great rim toucher. ;)

hold on what? lool





Quote
  During the year 2008. I read VJB by Kelly B. and went to the gym for the first time in my life. I was 26 at the time. So, my first weight room exercise at 26 years young. I continued to train for a two or three months, felt some pain in my knee (not sure which one) during 70 kg squat and I quit.
Two years later (2010.) I wanted to buy The Jump Manual by Jacob Hiller. Add 10 inches to your vertical he said. Hmmm. Also I saw Atletic Advantage Online by Matt Stockert. Other programs like Air (Knee) Alert and similar crap was out of competition.  I have decided to buy JM but due to shitty web page programming I was not able to use my PayPal to buy it. So I went to AAO and made a purchase. Later, I have found that PayPal option for JM works if you visit the page with IE (I am Firefox user).

us firefox users always gettin` discriminated against.




Quote
What the hell - I've bought JM too. So I read all of them (VJB, JM, AAO) and IMHO they are all solid programs based on same principals. I have decided to go with JM because it was easiest to perform at home. I built my own power rack (my design, measurements, drawing, cutting and even some welding), bought barbel, pair of dumbbells and some weight 87 kg total. I also bought combined bench which I am using for the ham curls only.

that picture of the rack you built is sick.. awesome work on that.




Quote
I trained during the last summer. Two times per week. Plyo day and weight day. Training was irregular, but I have gained a few inches and I am able to dunk the ball with one or two hands running of one leg. Also, for the first time in my life I can dunk with one hand jumping from both feet. Nothing to brag about but those are my personal bests :).
After that summer session I made a mistake and paused my training for two months without any reason except my laziness. Now I re-started my training.

nice gains but why did you stop training??? how you just get lazy after making those gains?? :/ whatever that's the past, come back strong.

Below you can see some facts about me:


AGE: 28

HEIGHT: 6.5" - 196 cm

WEIGHT: 89 kg

SLEEP SCHEDULE: On working days about 6 hours, on days off 6-10 hours. I'm a sleepy guy. Love it.

BODY TYPE: Athletic. Heavy legs, light torso and arms. Skin, bones and muscle. Have some fat on my abs - nothing to worry about.

GOALS:
I want to be able to dunk from stand still below the rim any time I want. That should be enough for the other stuff to right?

CURRENT ABILITY:
Vertical leap by my own estimate: 70 cm / 27.5"

INJURY HISTORY: Just a minor ankle sprain and one MAJOR.

TRAINING HISTORY & ACHIEVEMENTS:
I hit a buzzer beating 3-pointer for the win once :)

CURRENT ACTIVITY LEVEL AND/OR TRAINING PROGRAM:
Weight workout for my legs once a week. Upper body weight training once a week. 5 on 5 basketball 2-3 times per week.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CURRENT DIET: 4-6 meals per day. Including sandwiches and liquid protein supplements. No sodas no junk. Candies yes.

IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES: My working day.
6am-7am Get up and get ready.
7am-8am Start the car and drive to the work.
8am-4pm Sitting and working in my office.
4pm-5pm Drive back home.
When I get home I rest myself, train, eat, play, go out or do something else depending on what day is it.

My yesterday's workout routine (just to show where I am now):
1. Dynamic warm up with full range of motion movements 15-20 min
2. Squat 72kgX3setX8rep down to parallel fast up & 72X1X8 slow full sqaut & 77X1X10 full & 74.5X1X10 & 72X1X10
3. Calf raises 87kgX3X20 & 87kgX1X15
4. Dead lifts 72kgX3X8 I hate it. It's a great ex. but I still have it. I can't lock my hands and the barbel is slipping.
5. Ham curls - skipped due to unavailable machine. I had to pack it because I don't have enough space for it right now.
6. In place lunges 17.5 kg dumbell in each hand X3sets X6reps per leg
7. Hang cleans 42kgX3X6
8. Bicycle crunch 100rep+100rep+50rep
9. Cool down & static stretching with 30 sec holds.


As a cherry on top I proudly present my power rack (built by me).

See you later.


again that rack is major, props.

sounds like you definitely have some major strength gains to make.. that squat is pretty low given your bodyweight.. sounds like that's definitely what's going to get you the most gains right now, ESPECIALLY in standing vert.

looks like you're putting in work though, that's a jump manual workout?

fyi, journaling your workouts would be very beneficial.. check out my journal too for this new progress tracker idea i'm implementing, it makes journaling even more effective.

peace mang!!!!

Dajm you strong mother fucker.

thnx, half squat though, strong for me on half would be 405 x 1 i'd finally say, yes, im strong.. lolol




for $35 a month i'd have 24 hour basketball gym access, and uh, that indoor gym looks beautiful.. gonna go check it out tomorrow probably.


I'd live inside that building. Weights, pool, basketball court for 35usd? that's free for me.

ya, i need to pick the locks of some major university gyms and just workout whenever i want.. then i could do it for free.
