To me, in that picture you look like 3-4 inches away... it's too far away from the camera though and the angle distorts it, so I don't know. Definitely not 1 inch away...

i'm directly under the backboard, behind the net.. see the white line on the ground, i'm directly over that also.. check the proportions. heh

also, explain to me how you get 3-4"? i mean, we clearly see like 1" away on pic, but how do you get 3-4"? you just making up a number or what? lool

ripp was kidding with his 5-6" comment.


Well that certainly isn't 1 inch. Maybe one inch on the monitor screen :D

whatever that means.. congrats though at being blind as fuck.. gj.

If you think that what looks 1 inch from 30 feet away is really 1 inch in reality, then... well... :-*

I'd say it's somewhere between 1 and 2 inches, but still very close. Just look at the proportions and you'll see it can't really be more than that.

Man the day you hit your head is gonna hurt...you'll be jumping up max effort not expecting it, then BANG...gonna be epic though, looking forward to seeing some footage of that.

thank mang

nah it won't hurt, there's a pad there.. lol.. hitting it on pure metal/glass backboard would hurt ya, but not a pad :)

pad feels cool, i hit the other pad at the outdoor-roofed court, that backboard is lower..

If there's anything I ain't, then I ain't an adarqui hater... I couldn't ever be. But again, 1 inch from that camera distance and angle is much more there. If there would've been a one inch distance, then from this angle it would seem his head hit the backboard. It's interesting since Andrew is pretty tough on his jumping in terms of inch-inflation, so it's somewhat surprising, which means he really genuinely believes it's 1 inch. One inch it's two squares on a math paper.

nah dude, im UNDER the backboard.. i could see if i was way in front of it, head near net etc, but im far behind the net in that pic.. in all those head height pics i am behind the net, right under the backboard hehe.

regardless ill hit my head on it and that'll be that.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Great forum section

Well there's nothing to appreciate, really, I was just speaking my mind like I always do. If you were to suck in my mind, then I would've said that... But since you don't, then it's great. There are so few good people to talk about training you can just count them in single digits. You're one of them, although maybe your biggest flaw is you take things personally too quick, just as an observation :P

It's great not to be politically correct these days :D

taking things personally, quick, is a good sign imo..

if you can dish out a severe beating when someone slight's you, that means you're not a sissified coach who is constantly thinking about "image"..

for example, you will piss lance off eventually on here and he will come at you hard, and I will laugh, but it will be all good, because we're all friends trying to improve.. that's how it is in the gym :)

When I first started doing low bar squats, the first thing I have witnessed was GREAT vastus medialis recruitment. That only happened in that first session and never happened again. I have no idea what this means.

quads are strong, vmo is probably adapted.. doubt it's a firing issue.. the quads usually aren't the weak link in a parallel/below parallel squat so, you're not going to get vmo/quad soreness much at all as you progress, they will pretty much always be one step ahead of the hams/glutes.

That 705 dl looked so easy  :strong:
thanks big P....after I loose weight (during decem/jan) I might take a shot at the highest deadlift by a teen ever (current is 815)

awesome man, if you decide to go that route, you will really pose a legit challenge to that record, would be insane to see you get it..

Happy bday twin.  :highfive: Im 24 today as well then.  ;D Damn I feel old. Maybe thats why you wrecked your back. Because of your extreme age.  :ninja:

LBSS happy birthday !!!

Flander are you trying to depress me?  :P


lol..





LBSS, the explosive hip flexion could have aggravated your back, the hip flexor origin or just some really intense posterior tilt.. so combine that with morning instead of at night, that definitely could have been the cause.. the back is especially vulnerable in the morning, but i would have imagined by the time you got the the gym & warmed up that woulda been a non issue.

sucks, how's it feeling now? hope its getting better.

nice man!!! for one arm pushup, i'd personally try to keep from arching so much on the way up, really squeeze the glutes, but i don't do them so..

hurdles looking good, how you been feeling? reactive/explosive/stronger still?

peace

Yeah. Normally I don't arch so much. I've never done them after a chest workout like on the vid. Squeezing the glutes actually helps a lot. I learned how to do them from the book the Naked Warrior. It teaches you to have full body tension in those kinds of exercises. Good stuff.

nice, ya the glute cue really helps

I think even with small maintenance work I'm still feeling myself getting weaker. Could just be the massive energy drain from everything I've been doing. Last time I did 110m hurdles I felt like I should have been able to run faster with a quicker start, but it didn't happen. That's the day I decided it was better to just go home from school and eat than workout and MAYBE have a protein shake and some real food before going back to rehearsals. I figure I'm better off staying close to where I am instead of going backwards from lack of nutrition.

damn i feel tired alr just looking at u run.

That's not even full race distance.  :P But I'm glad my sprinting seems so impressive to you.

gotta get that barbell work in 1x/week :/ gotta maintain that strength 1x/week at least.

BW = 150.8 <-- funny, carb depleted, feeling weak but looking lean, 2 days ago after carb'n up i was 155
soreness = hamstrings slightly, calfs slightly
aches/injuries = back still
fatigue = feel mad shitty

diet = protein shake, 4 pieces of pizza + salad + chocolates + 2 pieces of cake, training, protein shake + 4 bananas, protein shake + 4 bananas




workout:
- mr tuck: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
- dips: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

tuck jumps felt insanely explosive, took me a while to get into the workout, very long warmup, like 30 minutes of progressive warming up.. but once i got into the tucks at max effort, i had some insane pop.. tomorrow is actually looking promising, didn't think so before workout.

dips were very weak..

hopefully i can sleep around 4:30am and wakeup at 12:30am, that'd be great.




i challenged kingfish to a vert challenge, i told him i'd hit head on rim before he hits 40 SVJ.. letz see wut goes down.

he's at 38 SVJ max, i'm at ~39 RVJ max.. tomorrow im going to jump good though because he pissed me off badly, but we're cool, he's my boi.. i'll probably put his squat video on my ipod because i get so angry watching his squat videos, because it takes ~30-45s for the first rep to happen after he walks the bar out.. that should result in some PR's if i watch that shit before jumping

he stepped on somebody, ie, climbed up somebody, who cares :/

those vids do nothing for me, so obvious he got an insane boost from stepping on someone.

Hmmm, do you know why those sprints would be in the vertfreak template like that?  They are in there....

are you supposed to run them at max effort, or at some percentage of max effort?

what's the guidelines (intensity, rest interval between sprints, etc) for those 100m sprints?
