Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello guys
« on: December 21, 2010, 05:29:35 pm »yea dude;)Thanks for this ansers. And i told you that you are good because i saw the videos with exercices which you gave me and i think that you are in that videos;).And you are right.I know what i have to do but i didn`t understand the pylometric exercices,and someone told me that you can explain me
which plyometric exercises? if you running vert is only 8", you shouldn't be thinking about anything advanced, you should be jumping 3-4x/week and playing alot of basketball/sprint-power based sports.
peace

Introduce Yourself / Re: Good to be here!
« on: December 21, 2010, 05:28:22 pm »Hey guys,this Flight ,i'm from Romania,i'm 20 years old,6'1,i'v been playing basketball for 6 years now...and i'v been training since i started to play because i am not very gifted genetically and i want to improve every day.I completed a few programs including air alert,double your vertical,vertfreak and a bit of vertical jump bible...so far the VF program is the most complete,but on that note i think a have a bit of knowledge in regards to jumping so i try to be independent and train myself without programs and restrictions and this site is a great way to solve problems and answer questions that involve jumping.
yo man, welcome!! This forum is dominated by romanians
you got some nice stats below, if you want any advice on a routine or in general, put this post in the "progress journals section", that's where we answer daily training related questions and give advice, as well as you can log your workouts day in and day out to show us your progress.. If you decide to put this post in the progress journals section, include your lifts (any big compound lifts you perform, squat,bench,pullups,lunge, etc)
nice running verts man.
peace

« on: December 21, 2010, 05:24:38 pm »holy shit..........
damn sounds like you really need to be careful.. If you aren't going to train "knee bends", I would look into EMS, though I'm not sure how effective home bought versions can be on strengthening the quads.
As for "less stressful knee exercises", you're looking at alot of floor variations:
- glute bridges (double and single leg)
- prone glute
- prone hyper
- supine hamstring iso (various degrees of knee flexion, just holding position, hits hams hard)
- supine hip extensions (stiff legged, feet on box)
As for weighted exercises that don't put much stress on the patella, you're looking at:
- reverse hyper
- RDL
- leg curls (standing, seated, whatever)
- POSSIBLY ghr..
- some stuff on 4-way hip machine
stretching too much can actually become a problem, if the muscles of the quads stop firing correctly, need to make sure VMO is firing good and before the VL.. floor based tke's (last 15 degrees, terminal knee extension), partner assisted, or very light tke on a leg extension can help to get that vmo firing but you definitely don't want to mess with that stress fracture.. once that stress fracture heals you'll need to build some strong/active vmo's to protect the patella.
any idea how you actually got this stress fracture? I mean is it just from jumping too much? When did you "feel" it occur? Any ideas on that?
Well, I'm pretty sure it's from playing too much as well as already having pretty shot knees after all my surgeries. It's something that just develops, and I notice it...but I don't stop. For example, when I started feeling the pain back in October, I played 13x in 1 week. Not 2 weeks, not a month. 13x in 1 week. And I don't rest properly or take care of my knees enough in between sessions. I'm learning the hard way to develop my routine and adjust to my bum knees. But I think the best thing right now is just to shut down for a few more weeks. I have 1 volleyball game Wednesday, and then that season is over until next year. So that will be my last active day for a while.
damn.... 13x in 1 week when feeling the pain come back, ya it sounds like you are a "chronic overdoer", gotta fix that.. put health first man or your longevity could vary will disappear very soon.
:/
i remember your dunk vids from not so long ago you were getting up real good.

What is prone hyper and reverse hyper?
if you don't have access to a reverse hyper, you can use a prone reverse hyper variation:
check some of his other vids, and the 7 day vertical jump cure (7DVJC), he has some nice exercises.

Also, what is a 4-way hip machine? Is that the thing that makes it look like you're swinging your leg some times?

« on: December 21, 2010, 04:35:45 pm »Milk and its derivatives are full of toxins that should be avoided at all costs.
LBSS will you stop trolling about milk, you always troll about milk & eggs.. lol
ghettoracer, I personally wouldn't be worried but I havn't found any damning studies on whey/casein protein supplements. I buy milk that is hormone free, but ya, I definitely don't know the source of my whey protein (ON protein).

« on: December 21, 2010, 04:31:15 pm »I wonder if this method can make the deadlift more posterior chain oriented. For a guy like me who "wants" to use his quads at everything, maybe doing this could make me shift more into posterior chain work during deadlifts.
try it out, tell me how it goes, i need to get myself a 45deg hyper to play around with that stuff again.
if yall ever find a good cheap used one, link me up.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: December 21, 2010, 02:39:41 pm »ya go for it.. i do 30 lol.. legs actually become painful at that point, then i stand up and i feel amazing ;di meant 30 min after my workout as in if basketball ends at 7 and i don't get home till 7 30, can i do leg drains?
pc
ya sure, try it out..
BTW ZGIN
leg drain is, legs propped up ~80 degrees, relaxed, while ur supine on the floor (on ur back), relaxing, pillow under head chillin`, for at least 10 minutes.. I do mine for 15-30 minutes while I irc/forum.. makes legs feel great, helps return pooled blood/inflam chemicals etc from the legs. it also reduces blood flow slightly and you get a little hypoxic environment going on, also good for recovery.
pc
haha. as soon as i posted in my journal, i googled it and found what it was. Can i do it 20 min after the end of my workout?
ya go for it.. i do 30 lol.. legs actually become painful at that point, then i stand up and i feel amazing ;d
When i finish a hard sprint(400m is the worst) I usually get a feeling as if my legs were jello and full of blood
Usually my legs are going to need a few min of recovery before i can run and feel normal again
I think you just stated the cure for this!!!
ya sounds like it'll help bigtime.
