damn wtf? your VMO bitched out bad for this session hahah...


Yes , it didn't bug initially , but then it started. It was that specific burn when you get back to lifting from a break, i'm sure you know that i mean. Different feeling than normal DOMS , much more able to fuck your training.

i had it last night doing my high rep walking lunges haha..

like how i see you feeling more bouncy at 193 etc.. that's going to continue to improve.


Yes , this will be interesting. Taking the slow approach though , see how it goes and how i respond, try-catch FTW!

yup, computer programming mixed with exercise science ftw.

bw = 160
soreness = calfs
aches/injuries = right hip a little, right ankle a little
fatigue = moderate
diet = prot shake + chocolate covered almonds, egg sandwhich + ramen noodles, protein shake, training, protein shake, protein shake + pb sandwhich + ramen



workout: walk + sprints + lunges
- 6 mile walk, max effort sprints mixed in (20-40 yards), felt great
- towards the end hit some tuck jumps, MR, 2-5 reps
- felt insanely springy again, really crazy height initially on the tucks.. feet/calfs felt amazing on the sprints
- walking lunges ball of foot (BOF): 8 x 50, felt great, VMO's got a SUPERPUMP, was hard walking back home


workout #2: stretching + calf
- calf raise: BW @ 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 60

tomorrow = short walk + sprint + tuck, then heavy squatting + volume squatting

bw = 159
soreness = none
aches/injuries = right lower leg a little during walk/light jogs
fatigue = high
diet = protein shake, chocolate covered almonds, philly cheese steak + fries, cookie, training, protein shake, protein shake + turkey and cheese + ramen


workout: walk + interval sprint
- 10+ mile walk in 2 hours 5 minutes, probably around 10-11 miles or so
- tons of light sprints mixed in, 50-150 strides
- that is the most reactive i've felt in a long time.. i had so much bounce it was crazy.. and i just felt so light

160 after that session.. so heavy

workout #2: calf raises
- still doing them, so far im on:
EDITED: calf raise: 35 lb total + BW @ 40, 45, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40

peace

lol thanks cowed!

ya my work capacity is kind of nutty.. got to utilize it a bit better in the near future, got a nice lil plan for that now

bottom heavy



can't do anything about where your fat is stored, so regardless of whether you are top heavy or bottom heavy, it has to come off if you want peak performance.. that said, having fat on 'top' would be more detrimental to performance i would be pretty certain, it just creates too much extra torque for the lower body to handle..

farris is a monster

Yeah he's great. His training is fairly unorthadox too. Coach is Kyle Pierce:

Basketball / Re: Jordan Haters - They exist? WHAT THE F.

kobe has improved his status on my top 10 list of guards with his recent 2 championships with lakers, before that, he wasnt' even in my top 10 even though he had 3 with shaq.. but he's definitely improved his ranking among top guards all time, he could literally be #2 at this point.. if he wins one more he definitely is.

if you're using mvp's to put people in top 10 ranks, then you'd have to put nash there, but he doesn't have a ring.. i'm looking at rings.. i mean AI was insane back in his sixers days, he had basically a horribly weak supporting cast and made it to the finals.. he truly took over games and was nearly unstoppable.. but he didn't win one either.. top 10 is reserved for players who win championships..

i'll use an nfl example.. tom brady vs payton manning.. tom brady isn't considered anywhere near payton's level in quarterbacking, BUT, he's more of a WINNER... he's clutch, he gets it done, he pulls out wins out of nowhere.. he might have a 200 yard passing game with the game winning drive in the 4th, etc.. to me he's among the top 5 QB's all time, already.. if he wins one more i'm literally putting him GOAT status, he is that legit at just WINNING.

MJ was a winner, when you needed him, he delivered, more often than not... FAR more often than not.. beyond his great stats, he just was able to pull out clutch performances and win games, thus winning 5 championships, with another 3-4 he could have won had he not retired.. he simply is the best of all time and is the authority on all things basketball :)


michael jordan sucks, harold minor was the best.

ok every1 relax loooooool.. let's get along! *hugs & axe murdering*

peace

OMGWTF.... LOOOOOL!!!!!

How do you get that...?

I mean, it's the same thing as tonsils infection (since they're also parts of the lymphatic system) just in another part of the body/different node?

nah it's way diff.. dno how i got it, doc said i must have touched something then touched my armpit but that doesn't make much sense.. odd

See? That's why I hate doctors - stupid retarded stuff like that drives me nuts. You got that from who knows where and it became infected in the armpit because that's the location of the lymph node. If it was somewhere else, you'd get infected somewhere else. I mean what, I touch something and then I touch my pinky finger and a lymph node grows there? WTF? Stupid stuff. Arrrghhhhhhhh

nah, if it went through my blood stream i'd be really sick right now.. it just so happened to be in the lymph node area.. when staph gets into your blood stream you gets chills, huge fever, and it can effect organs etc..

Don't tell me you buy his/hers explanation. That's very unlikely to have happened. You probably ate something infected or whatever and it so happened that that location got infected. Otherwise, maybe you got a lot of infected sweat that was pressed back into the skin from all the dunks/movements or something.

bro, it's a SKIN INECTION, i didn't eat something with staph on it.. lol

Whatever. Good you're better.

Program Review / Re: Air alert (knee alert?)
« on: January 08, 2011, 08:30:08 pm »
I did air alert 3. The whole shit , 16 weeks , back in May 2007 being ~32,5 years old.
Didn't gain a single inch, probably because my strength was very low back then , so ultra high volume plyos ( that AA is ) was useless.
I didn't have the slightest knee bugging during it , but then again i never had the slightest knee bugging in my entire life.

I think people without training background doing AA is pure waste of time. Dangerous for those with sensitive knees , just useless for all the others.

As for people with training background , they don't care for AA! :D

truth =  :ibsquatting::ibsquatting::ibsquatting::ibjumping:

yup, guys like us need strength increase primarily.

I tried it with a friend for a few weeks when I was younger (14 or so). Didn't have any problems with it personally. But I didn't see much of any improvement with it either. This was when I was playing ball all day every day so honestly, I was already in about as good a shape as I could've been at that age without proper weightlifting. I stopped because I didn't see the point of it at the time and that was that.

ya i wouldn't imagine you would see much problems with only the first few weeks of the program, it (the volume) gets insane towards the end.

thanks for the post tho!

THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:






GREEN = done
BLUE = current
RED = pending


8 Jan 2011

PHASE 3 - Cycle 1 - Power workout

Bodyweight@session : ~193 ( AM workout, before lunch ).
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : VMO unrecovered , see exercises commentary.

C1 : 20m sprints@100%
C1 : 1x5 MR tuck jumps
C1 : rest 1 min
C1 info : 5 rotations
- Those felt awesome , great acceleration at sprints and great bounce at tucks.

3x4 ME jumps:
Dropstep : ~29''
RVJs ( 1, 2 and 3 steps ) : ~31''
- Felt very reactive and explosive but quads ( mainly VMO ) started 'burning'. Couldn't 'squat' my jumps properly.
- Very interesting is that i felt better with full runup jumps than dropsteps after a long time , probably because of lower BW.

REA SQUATS:
4x3@121
- Awesome , VMO still burning so instead of halfs@143 i did ATG@121. Very fast!!!

EXPLOSIVE MSEM HALF SQUATS ( rest between reps ~30secs ):
8x1@209
-Bad , VMO really burning , couldn't stabilize the transition well. Did my best at exploding up though.

EXPLOSIVE ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS:
4x5@175
-Awesome.

SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
4x5@132


damn wtf? your VMO bitched out bad for this session hahah...

like how i see you feeling more bouncy at 193 etc.. that's going to continue to improve.
