Wat are mebm squats?
U have a big engine in there man, ridiculous work capacity. I know I'd be super sore if I do something as high vol as that.

sup man, thanks, ya my work capacity is pretty insane.. no doubt about that.

check the MEBM article in performance blog section, peace man

just a bunch of stills.

got up good on a few dunks, but i was out of it mentally, worrying about all kinds of things, trying to dunk after full court games were done, etc.. regardless got some nice footage of myself and others.. this dude in yellow shirt hit a nasty windmill.. no one really dunked that was my height, everyone else was like 6'4-6'5 who landed dunks, this one kid my height came close though, kinda got it on one off dribble.

anyway got my best two hander i think, and a few nice throw downs.









from dude's windmill make:


















this dunk was pretty hard:














first warmup jump lool
























crazy cam distortion, but dude gets up








kinda a dunk make, only dude my size to land one:

the dehydration stuff seems pretty interesting and looks like you got some good results; what exactly are you doing for it??

just bundling up like mad all day, long sleeve shirt + heavy sweatshirt + high socks, then doing my walk + interval sprints in that.. trying to drink less fluid/milk.

did it best before that 2010 dunk mix session, i was 153 then, today 155..

bw = 158
soreness = glutes very little, quads a little tight <-- you'd think i'd be more sore after 225 @ 5 x 20 wtf
aches/injuries = left knee where i bumped into the chair right on patella tendon, top of right foot a little
fatigue = moderate
diet = prot shake, chocolate covered almonds, cheeseburger + sunchips, training, prot shake, turkey & cheese + 5 bananas


workout: walking + short sprints/tucks or  DL bounds
- 6 mile walk, with ~5-6 20 yard max effort sprints mixed in
- then 6 x 10 ME MR tucks
- then ~6 x 5 MR DL bound (not ME)

playing with some slight dehydration stuff, should have started when i woke up fml..

11pm 160.2 before walk, walk, 12:30pm 156.6 after walk, 157.2 after protein shake, 156.6 after shower, 4am small shit, 156, 155.4, eat, 6:30am = 158 <-- better than like 162-163 before sleep tho.. hah

1/4/11 Tues

Played b-ball about 2.5 hours. 1st time in over a year. I love and miss sports. Still feeling the MEBM even with the light weight. drank a rockstar on the way out, which was a bad idea. I really feel the caffine. even with the fatique got some easy 30" jumps. ( finger tips level with rim )
I would probably feel the STIM from monday if I played on wednesday, but not an option. oh well.
Couple more pounds off, better condtioning and some more weight on my back and I am going to hit some PR's in the next two months. good shit.

cool man

i feel much better on coffee+protein shake than an energy drink.. energy drinks make me woozy sometimes but really amp'd, the feeling wouldn't be good for sports imo.. but for sports, i feel great on just instant coffee (1-2 teaspoons) + a milk/protein drink.

good job on those jumps with the fatigue!

Tuesday 12/4/2010:

-Warmup
  -3 laps (indoor is now assumed until I mention otherwise. 1 lap is about 120m. I know for sure 13 1/2 is one mile)
  -Dynamic stretches (Leg swings)
  -Sprint drills
  -Static stretching
  -Hurdle drills. (walk-overs)

-400m training
  -Expected: sub 64 second on ~2 3/4 laps. (Roughly 350m if my calculations are right...)
  -1st run: 59 sec
  -Rest ~ 5 min.
  -2nd run: 58 sec
  -Rest
  -3rd run: 59 sec

-Core (30 second holds each)
  -Planks
  -6 inch leg raise x 3
  -Super mans x 3
  -15 pikes

-Stretch and PWO shake.



Indoor track is a real killer. Corners are way too sharp. Apparently it used to be banked but the weak people who weren't actually running on it were hurting their ankles... that's a shame because now the real dedicated people like the indoor track team (actually more of a wannabe club... not even an official club) have to slide on every turn. Oh well. Good workout overall. Aside from one thing... threw up again after the sprints. My stomach is so weak....


nice work on those 400's, recovered good.. you're in good shape right now, except for your stomach.

Happy new year everybody!!!  :highfive:

Let's get to business!  ;D
Checking my log here , i see last weights session was 20 December , 2 weeks. Not good , not too bad though.
I am thinking , should i pick my ratio schedule where i left it , or should i hit a couple of sessions to "get back at it" ?
Last session was end of hypertrophy transition phase , according to the plan i gotta do:

Phase 3 : Neutral : [ 1 : 1 : 1 ] x 2
Phase 4 : Peak     : [ 0 : 1 : 1 ] x 3

I think i won't do any 'get back at it' shit , just go by feel on the weights , starting a bit low of course.
I will also expand the Neutral Phase cycles to 4 or 5 , the planned 2 cycles are too few , WTF was i thinking?

i wouldn't just jump right in where you left off, i would hit a few work back in sessions, then continue where you left off.. if it was 1 week, wouldnt be a problem, but two weeks, might get some extra fatigue/soreness going on for the first few sessions.



Quote
Other than that , some main points will be:

- stop bulking.
- put more cardio in , gotta get that bodyfat down.
- replace most carbs with fat ( good fat , mostly extra virgin olive oil and peanuts fat )
- combine the above and let body do what it wants. i expect/hope a slight weight loss but adding strength and maybe lean mass , so major fat loss. Wont let me go below 185 , should be at ~195 or so now.
- keep up with the boring work : core , stretch , grip training.
- more FA work , dropstep ~= rvj currently , that's unacceptable.

The other elements of my training are solid , not changing anything.

nice man, just be consistent with the dietary changes/FA work and it'll fall into place.. if you get lazy with diet, the fat loss won't happen of course.. but if you could drop some fat that's definite added inches to your vert, take the slow road, let it happen slowly, eventually who knows you might really lean out, you should be flying if that happens.

peace man!

Hey yo! My name's Nathan I just turned 18 and I'm currently a 1st-2nd year student at the University of Sydney studying health sciences with a human movement major. My motivation is to prove that short people and orientals can be strong and can not just play but dominate basketball (saying we're under-represented would be an understatement). Will be posting a training log shortly. Stay tuned! :wowthatwasnutswtf:

sick man welcome! a bunch of australians on here..

love your username, it kind of doesn't make sense imo but it sounds pretty badass. hah


Quote
Goals: 40+ inch vert
Benching my own weight
Squat 1.5x my own weight
Make an Australian Representative team for State-Nationals and/or a semi-professional club

might need a bit more on squat to get 40, most likely, bout to check journal.

someone at the courts did this balance push to someone else, and then made him put the bracelet on and did the same thing and balance was better.  i'm guessing his 2nd push was much softer and the dude planted his feet sturdier.  and then some people concluded that it has to do with some type of magnetic properties in the magnet or hologram

JESUS LIVES IN THOSE BRACELETS AND MAKES YOU STRONG THROUGH HIS GLORIOUS PROPRIOCEPTIVE ABILITIES.

wrong, it's due to the magnetism of one's chi and quantum physics can explain it, it has to do with nano electrons and electron passing.


sorry, heathen. you're going to hell.

actually, i'm not, thanks to my ionic influx capacitor magnetizing chi force jesus bracelet
