« on: November 24, 2010, 04:27:44 am »warm up
foam roll legs and back
core stretches
work
run @ easy pace x ~41:20, 4.45 miles
cool down
stretch
Felt like absolute shit, like my legs were filled with concrete. Form felt awful and inconsistent, breathing was easy but HR was too high. Bizarre run. Didn't help that it was pretty windy. Had to stop about 1/2 mile in cause my tibia was starting to tweak. Massaged it for a bit and it was fine.
nice, why did you decide to run? 4.45 is alot to run just out of nowhere.

« on: November 24, 2010, 03:51:00 am »ffs bro you are soaring in that first jump, agreed what an atmosphere! white boy got hops haha reminds me of our local ballers from Taupo Road
lol thanks man..
ya that court is hype.. it's got too many kids on it after 3pm, lil kids like 5-12 years old, so, that kind of sucks.. i mean they are all over the place, it's funny though, the people their are used to it.. they'll just run over a kid and keep playing.. hahah.. it's always half court except for sundays.. once i get my hops way up i'll go there on sundays and really psyche up, that's when they play some really good quality full courts, good talent, hard games..
peace man!

« on: November 24, 2010, 03:49:12 am »Those courts look sick! Wish we had stuff like that over here, every outdoor bball court is infront of the commision houses so dont wana get stabbed. You trying to put on weight, its shot up quite a bit?
i'll probably get stabbed one day video taping at some court, if i die, i die under a hoop, that's how it has to be.. my soul will then float, 50" vert, no run up, and dunk dark matter into the hoop.
not trying to put on weight, but it did add on pretty quick, annoyed about it.. i liked being 147.. feels like i put on some fat pretty quick.
LAME.
why do u do backwards drops man?
like n00bEM said, it targets the muscles differently.. it's a much more intense drop, at the same height, than going forward and down.. the calfs/hamstrings/glutes get hit alot harder, calfs especially.. so far, after each backward drop session, my calfs have been sore.. havn't had calf soreness in a long time (since i stopped trying to jog mid foot months ago lol).

« on: November 23, 2010, 08:01:38 pm »I like pullups like that, definitely has a different feel to it.. much less bicep contribution, more lat.
Why would you like more lat over bicept?
i don't even know what i'm referring to in that quote, but it sounds like i'm preferring pullups over chinups in regards to lat recruitment.
but i'm with you all the way, quads & biceps for life.

« on: November 23, 2010, 06:26:22 pm »Yeah man when I think "tuck" I think "knees to chest." Realized belatedly that that's not right. I might scrap them altogether because I find it hard to be sure I'm getting triple extension when I do them. Okay to add another set or two of pogos in lieu of tuck jumps?
Suggested alternative name: MR half-tuck jumps.
MR half tuck jumps.
you get triple extension, it just happens very fast, and you don't "feel it happening".. if you ever check my slowmo tuck vids i had put up, you'll see it.
i'd still do something similar to tucks, like double leg bound, don't need to go max distance, just focus on max height, similar to tucks but you're moving forward.

« on: November 23, 2010, 05:35:56 pm »after the workout i weighed in at 234lbs so -11lbs (no shoes)
today i went in at around 830 or so to do my workout.
Started off with a warm up of some ball and some Olympic Lifts
hang snatchx3 (135lbs)
Hang cleanx5(135lbs)
BTN Jerkx5(135lbs)
went into Speed squats
135x10
185x4
225x4
315x3(weren't really speedy, pretty disappointing)
then some jump squats, alternating 95lbs, 45lbs, 95lbs, 45lbs, 95lbs, 45lbs
1 legged box squats(bw) just tried to do some speedy ones, prolly did 6 each leg
someother plyo shit, and machine work on hamstrings and quads.
went into the pool area and did jump roping, push upx10, side planks and plank for 20 seconds each, crunches etc etc.
ran a mile on 7.5mph with a 3 incline
heres a little video( i need a bi-pod thing) for the camera
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/5536920/11_22_10/
cool man, nice vid, speed box squats looked fast, even though I hate them and would never advocate them.. i prefer REA squats, jump squats, and heavier speed squats OFF PINS with a 3-5 second pause.
peace
yeah i did jump squats, just the angle was to low so u could just see my ass and down, figured itd be awkward to put in lol
and ill do the overspeed REA squats next time to try them out kinda seems like its a awkward movement( with the lil hop while your going down)
don't go too heavy starting out, just keep it to 30-40% of 1RM and focus on form, getting those feet off the ground while dropping into a half squat.. make sure you stay tight though.

« on: November 23, 2010, 05:34:14 pm »Do tuck jumps always hurt your back? Thats like the only exercise that slightly aggravates my back for some reason, dont know why though?
try to focus more on getting higher than on hip flexing.. i think alot of people are confused, i'm just now realizing that.. the exercise is more of an emphasis on: getting as high as possible with a very short ground contact.. when focusing slightly on hip flexion (such as with mr tucks), ground contacts will be less, than for example, compared to MR "jumps" (ie very fast repeated svj's), but mr tucks are less intense than pogos due to trying not to lock out the landing.. so MR tucks become more of a submax exercise because of the hip flexion component, BUT, the emphasis definitely isn't on hip flexion.. trying to REALLY hip flex is not the focus of this exercise..
i should probably start referring to them as something else, fuuuuckkk.. this is a debacle.. lol

Nutrition & Supplementation / Adding muscle while losing fat
« on: November 23, 2010, 03:44:16 pm »
created this thread to post the responses I deleted from the q&a, sorry vag/lbss lolol.. we made some rules for that subforum just so threads can stay short & sweet there.
Oh, I was also wondering this: if you eat a caloric deficit, yet a great amount of protein, can't it happen that you lose weight and build muscle at the same time? So body re-composition is happening? I mean, it would make sense, probably the weights on the bar would not increase but if they stay the same and the bodyweight is going down, then the relative strength increases so that's a gain in itself I guess.
