Article & Video Discussion / Re: Nice KellyB Interview

how do you download it, it's not working for me?

this is just from a kb article on his higher faster sports site, the man says some fucking smart things

I heard that it was not good to squat because there is deceleration that occurs at the top of the squat that doesn't occur with the vertical jump?

Keep in mind when using exercises like the squat we're not trying to duplicate the exact execution of the vertical jump, we're just trying to strengthen the muscles involved. That's also why a deeper squat is better than a quarter or half squat. It strengthens more muscles. Besides that, by that line of logic we shouldn't walk either since there is deceleration that occurs with each stride. The body and brain are smart enough to differentiate various movements.

that 2 handed dunk on the ultraviolet mix was sick, def. one of my favorites that you had

in those pics you are getting way above the rim, looks like a good foot

184
i got you very impressive nonetheless

make sure you balance those strong calves out with some work for the muscles around the shin

185
wow those standing calf raises are insane man, i'm guessing you did them on smith machine

if so, i'm only doing like 50 lbs x20 reps on smith machine, i know my calves are weak, but that's just insane

be careful man, achilles tendonitis sucks, it took me like a year till it felt about normal, and even then i still had tenderness in the area, which lasted for about another year, and strangely dissapeared a few days after i did a stim on my calves, maybe the extra calf strength was necessary

advice may sound familiar here, but it ain't worth it to get achilles tendonitis now, you still got a long training career ahead of you, i'll get to that 275 squat in time and you will get to your goals, make sure that achilles is ok, i think that would be one of the worst things to injure especially when your focusing on one leg vert/reactivity, etc.  It's a bitch to heal up too, and you won't be able to fight through it, or even want to if you injure it

does nj have a much higher pollution?

Crazy Weird Analysis & Stuff :) / Re: The Squat Thread
« on: March 22, 2010, 08:33:15 pm »
Like I said above NBA, my hip flexor length is not an issue. I have had a PT when doing work on my ankle say that I have more mobility that normal population for hip extension. As for adhesions, maybe, but I don't think they explain why I get low grade pain during unloaded hip flexion.

maybe not the hip flexor, maybe rectus femoris or other quad muscle?

yea he does those free throw line dunks with such ease, he could easily get them from a few feet behind the free throw line.  Everybody else steps over and barely gets it and this guy is doing windmills and shit and easily getting it, with two hands even

i had somethign real similar adam, i basically had an adhesion around the vmo/sartorius right above the knee and it was causing my knee pain

some ART and foam rolling should help, that's how mine got out.  I stil have other adhesions around that area, i think it's just a result of the quads/hip flexors being real tight and so when doing squats/etc going deep you the hamstrings are  really lengthened,, like too lengthened and at the same time contracting like crazy and adhesions start to form in the connective tisssue

not sure, i guess could be deficient in iron?  a lot of athletes are right?

probably a week or two to meet up with the doctor, i have to make an appointment, and the wait is always at least like a week

yeh, interesting, found the platelet count extremely interesting also 116 when the range is 140-400, so i was below and the range is huge.

Is there a difference between creatine and creatinine?


god damn you weren't kidding.

The high RBC count & low hemoglobin count is definitely interesting. I am no doctor of course, but low hemoglobin could be due to iron deficiency etc. Foods rich in iron include meat, chicken, spinach, red kidney beans, cereals etc. You think you could be low on iron?

The high RBC count I can't really comment on... When do you talk to the doctor about your blood test? One way to fudge the test would be if you were dehydrated, which I doubt was the case. So, dno about that one. Low hemoglobin could have some kind of effect on the high RBC count, but i'm not sure. RBC's are created in the marrow so.

interesting, what the hell is that head brace thing for. 

what you think of the exercises/adarq

195
screw it, i want to type some of it now get responses

important things to note before the values.  One i ate right before the blood test, like 5 min. before the test i ate.  Also, this was on day 10 of the flying in four program, so i was taking the creatine 5 g after workout, and also taking the brown rice protein, as well as eating a lot in order to put on weight.  I'll try to put all the vallues not in range with a different color.  I don't knkow how the meal before affected the test, i think it raised the glucose, which is why it was probably that high, don't know how it affected any of the other values.
