when i was in China i only only visited QuanZhou and ShengZhen both are huge industrial cities now (and quite dirty).  my bro was working and i didn't get to go around and check out the any places by myself.  in HK i did get a brief moment to check out Victoria Park and it had 4 full courts.  didn't see any impressive ballers there.  couple of ABC looking dudes were okay.  as for park, the biggest one i've seen is actually here in Taipei.  it's in the river bank and it has...  at least 10 courts.  let me try to find it on google maps.

indeed it has 10 courts.  25.063727,121.474348

oops, actually not sure what that court is.  but just north west of it is the bball court.  10 courts.  25.070802,121.461655

hey, just found this.  could be useful in the future!  http://www.courtsoftheworld.com

10 full courts, sick..

ya i've seen that site, it's pretty cool, wish it was easier to find the pics uploaded of different courts though.. i just want to see a variety of pics of courts, not 'find them'.. cool site tho.

couldnt agree more. they just try to make it look badass with that sick black/green colorway

wow, 1st one you can clearly see he got up really high (his head)...  very nice 1 leg jumps with good take offs.  love the transition up.

ps, i didn't even realize until few reviews later that he move the ball between the legs on the 1st one!  damn he did it fast...


you see any parks like that while you were in china?

stretching:
- stretched full body for an hour but, best thing i did, was this stretch where you lie down flat then bring your legs over your face, point of foot touching ground above your head. i held that for 2 sets, for about 5-8 minutes.. really helped my erectors which have been pretty tight lately, feel very good from it.


I don't get it, how can you "point of foot toucing ground above your head". It's either touching the ground or it's above your head.



BAM!

 ;D



ya that's exactly it.. felt great.

12/14/2010

bw = 155.5 (158 before poops damn too heavy)
soreness = right calf a bit
aches/injuries = right hip a little, mid back
diet = protein shake + 2 teaspoon coffee, dunks + gatoraid drink + protein, protein shake, cheeseburger + almonds + crackers + cheese dip, training 2A, half protein shake, training 2B, protein shake, pb sandwhich


workout #1:
- jumps/dunks
- didn't jump good initially, went to indoor court first, surface was too slippery, left and went outdoors, kind of threw me off a bit.. anyway, jumped good after like 30min, was really annoying early on..


workout #2A:
- 6 mile traversed in 1 hour 15min or so, submax 40-70 stride sprints, ME MR halftucks linear 13 x 20
- felt VERY bouncy


workout #2B:
- MSEM half squat: 45 @ 4x10,    135 @ 5,  185 @ 5,    245 @ 3,     265 @ 3,    285 @ 1,1    305 @ 1,1       325 @ 1,1,1,1     1,1,1,1



stretching:
- stretched full body for an hour but, best thing i did, was this stretch where you lie down flat then bring your legs over your face, point of foot touching ground above your head. i held that for 2 sets, for about 5-8 minutes.. really helped my erectors which have been pretty tight lately, feel very good from it.



the bar was so cold it felt like an ice cube... ill try and get some footage up tomorrow with some dunks/msem.






thursday dunk session should be really good is my prediction.



the 2nd set from sunday, 295 x 8 msem.. finally got it uploaded, worse quality so that it only rendered in 3 hours instead of 10 ahahaah.

Won't have time to write detailed journal entries this week, but I thought I'd mention this...

My friend Scott (the crazy buff one that does throwing events in track) sent me a text during my track workout that read, "Guess who's in the emergency room :D"

That smiley face was sarcastic. He tore his right anterior deltoid doing dumbbell bench press with 100lb. db's. He was on his 12th rep....

damn :/
