Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Importance of Training Whole body
« on: March 08, 2011, 04:12:24 pm »yeah but big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot.
That is a physical (observable) characteristic of some of the top sprinters in the world: Broad shoulders, narrow hips, relatively long, skinny legs.
The legs are still jacked though

No, but really, literally all of the numbers you listed up there will be helped greatly by squatting.

My rear delts cramp with a wide grip and I hate the wide grip anyway. How inflexible can you be that you have to have your arms all the way out to the plates?

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Best tasting Protein flavor
« on: March 01, 2011, 09:05:33 pm »Elite Gourmet Vanilla from Dymatize actually tastes good. And I don't even mean good for a protein (people always lower their standards for protein shakes), but I mean actually good even for a milkshake. Well for milkshakes, people always raise their standards, so this protein actually tastes like a mediocre milkshake!
doesnt it have only 50% protein and 20% carbs or something like that? cant say this is a PROTEIN shake...
3g carbs, this is the one I'm talking about: http://bodybuilding.epicsports.com/images/22062/0//europa/2060062.jpg
It tastes great! Almost like melted ice cream.

Wow I just HOPE my son is really into basketball, I'll turn him into a damn star. I mean with the knowledge that I know now, imaging applying it to an 8 year old in stead of an 18 year old, and the potential rises just so much more. And how knows how much more knowledge we'll all have by the time we have kids? Better protein, better training philosophies, etc.
I mean I'll have him play with toy basketballs when he's a baby and stuff and watch basketball games with him, hoping that he'll have an interest for it, but I don't think I should force it down his throat if he doesn't like it. Like if he falls in love with soccer, then I'll help him like crazy with whatever I know about it.

Oh boy just 1-2 years? You've missed out on SOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHH. As well as the rise of the millions of sub-generes... i mean just trance has:
euphoric trance
uplifting trance
progressive trance
dutch trance
german trance (just being dutch/german doesnt make it that kind of trance, it's actually a distinct style)
tech trance
ibiza trance
hard trance
psy trance
goa trance
acid trance
minimal trance
classic trance
Yeah there's a lot. The golden age of trance music was the late 90's and early 00's. I got into trance just after that peak in like 2002. There's just far too many different artists and even those artists change their styles over time and stuff:
Compare Tiesto

Cosmic Gate

Armin van Buuren

There's such a huge variety on trance music (and in general, EDM) that it's not even funny. That's why a lot of us hardcore EDM fans get really pissed off when ignorant people call EVERYTHING techno hahah. I mean compare:
TECHNO - www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8hIWihMZ2c and www.youtube.com/watch?v=-olmIdsaWVI
TRANCE - and www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0kAtwA-iiA and www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tym6GxN7Hkg#t=1m (such an awesome bassline btw, gotta hear that live!)
HOUSE - www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqSE36mmi-8 and www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oYTgKz4uE0
Techno focuses more on percussive elements and how they evolve, combine, and split up over the course of the track. Probably best for dancing, really gets you moving, has some awesome beats sometimes.
Trance is a lot more atmospheric, a little slower than techno, and focuses a lot more on atmosphere and melody. Greater uses of synthesizers in trance than house or techno, and probably the most diverse of the three in terms of how many styles it has.
House is slowest of the three, and is more groovy and soulful... not sure how to explain it. Maybe the hardest of the three to define. Usually better than trance for dancing. Definitely not as atmospheric/melodic as trance, not as percussive as techno but groovier.
To my ear those three pairs of tracks up there sound 100% completely different and unique from one another, yet too many mainstream listeners (omg justin bieber) call ALL of that techno somehow.... ?????
Personally, I like trance the best. I mean just a single song can get me unbelievably angry and hyped up to go squat or play basketball. The same song can at night it can make me feel really sad and emotional and tear up, or if I'm out at a club it'll make me feel amazing and move with the beat. It really all depends on your interpretation of the song. I'm sure you can do that with house or techno, but I can most easily relate to trance.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: strenght gains in season. is it possible?
« on: February 28, 2011, 04:07:45 pm »
I just took whey protein powder. I didn't practice my 2 foot jump that much, Raptor. Like once a week. Of course some improvements came from there, but the huge majority had to be from my strength increases (my one foot jump increased as well man). I had 6:30am basketball practices 5 days a week. When I had games after school, I didn't practice in the morning. So it was consistent tough sprinting 5days a week.
I squatted 2 days a week. Mondays and thursdays. I was doing 4x7 and later switched to 3x5.

^^^ not bad not bad.. I'm a little more underground than you, and a bit more oldschool. Personally I don't like deadmau5 and tiesto anymore. The tiesto I LOVEDDD was:
Tiesto - Magik Journey
Tiesto - In My Memory (Gabriel & Dresden Elephant Memory Vocal Mix)
Tiesto - Suburban Train
that stuff.... that's the stuff that got him so damn famous in the first place!
But yea, my favorite artists are:
Ferry Corsten
BT
Hybrid
The Thrillseekers
Above & Beyond
MIKE aka Push aka Globe
Gareth Emery
Armin van Buuren (his older stuff)
Tiesto (his older stuff)
Roger Shah aka Sunlounger
There's plenty more but those are probably the main artists I like. I love myself some trance music (only certain styles though, none of that cheesy andy blueman and daniel kandi shit), lately some progressive trance/house (bc trance has been getting cheesy) and then some IDM, which is what BT makes. Well, BT makes a lot of different kinds of music, he's an amazing music producer. I'll post all the different things he can do later.

« on: February 27, 2011, 07:34:24 pm »
Just because it's GPP doesn't mean they are equally effective. I mean there is no thick black line right between specific training and GPP lol, i view it more as a "gradient" of sorts. But still, I just like deep squatting because it feels better for me. Maybe in the future when I stall on deep squats ill hit an intense partial squat peaking cycle.
