What is Eddie's weight at what height adarqui?

when i trained him, 144-152 @ 6', literally around 5-6% body fat, he is insanely lean.. he gained some good mass when we trained, now he's about 155.

LBSS, you hear about this book through defranco? He often remarks how all the stretching techniques he learned were from the Fredricks.

Adarq, have you ever tried the rectoris femoris/psoas stretch kelly baggett recommends?

this? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_hQSJVIN3c" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_hQSJVIN3c</a>

nope.

i've done something on a bed, kinda similar, but i havn't been stretching alot lately.

he's definitely beast, love his vids.. his old single leg dunking video is insane, one of my fav vids of all time.. ill link it tomorrow if i remember, love the music in it too.. it's like he's not even the same person, skinny/mad powerful single leg jumper back then, now he's huge double leg jumper/strength athlete.

Note the props to Adarq in the last video's description.

awesome glad you pointed that out.. pretty cool.. just glad i pointed him in a good direction and away from the spoon-bending bullshit artists.

he knows what to do though, he's dedicated.

aww crap, turns out that was an April 1st 2008 joke.  bastards...

hahahahhahah!$!@$!@$!@

nice.. you got duped, then we all got duped.

they actually have a chinese growth surgery, but it is insane, they basically cut into your femur and install some device, to keep "stretching" the bone with a crank every day.. you can grow 4-6" taller apparently.

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-06/07/content_337188.htm

first link on google.. i saw a documentary on it, it's pretty insane man.. those people are crazy who get that shit.. blood/goop oozing from their leg as they turn the crank.. eek

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: junk food diet that works
« on: November 13, 2010, 02:05:03 am »
heh.  a friend on facebook linked that.  you gotta have so much discipline to eat so little junk food though...  that's way too much temptation to have around at the house.

i dno, most americans can eat like that easily... you underestimate the unhealthyness of the USA. :)

uhh, experienced it first hand.  i was at 190lbs (2007-8) thanks to all the cheap and easily available junk food at the super market and fast food places.  the system definitely works against you.  i remember reading about (poorer) families eating dollar menu because it is cheap and convenient.  at least in taiwan (and most asian countries) one you can decently healthy cheap fast foods.


when i was crazy poor like 8-9 months ago, i dollar menu'd, worst i ever felt in my life.

hehehe

maybe i should just surgically get 6" longer arms and magically dunk.  :-)  thousands have tried the get taller surgery (painful and low success rate).  i wonder if someone ever tried to get longer arms.   ;)

i wonder if this was in fact true...  FRENCH President Nicolas Sarkozy is to have pioneering stretch surgery in a bid to make him taller.  The Sun is UK's trash paper though...

sick dunk, but damn, look at how low his head is and how high his hand is over the rim.. man that reach is nuts, i get my head higher than that on my best jumps and my hand is nowhere near that high.. pretty cool

going to be gone for a bit, philly cheesesteak time :D

see everyone later tonight.

Nice workout man. Great strength.

thanks alot man, ya i'm really pushing hard to get as much strength gains as possible by dec 14.

expect some old-school adarq madness.





do you think adding the large volume of ADA can possible help you PR during this strength block or is it going to pay off more when you get into peaking? seems like its helping combat the fatuige from the high rep stuff 

DEFINITELY.. I had been neglecting reactive work prior to this last week and it showed, without it, my legs felt like mush in my plants during my running verts.. they "felt" great, but I just had horrible force absorption.. the depth drops are to prepare me for shock, i'm planning on hitting a 2-3 week block of 4x10 depth jumps from 30" - 3x/week, so I really need to make sure I get the most out of it by preparing myself with the drops.

for sure though, the depth drops have been making my legs feel alot more powerful already.. last night's jumps felt great, i was surprised.. if tomorrow's feel even better, then i'll be very happy.. the drops themselves felt MUCH better in only the second session since re-introducing them, time to stabilization improved dramatically, so that's a very good sign... right now my legs feel a bit dead, but tonight is MR tucks + upper.. the squat sessions will leave me with more fatigue than the deadlift sessions simply due to the eccentric tension.

I want to get my drops up to about 42" or so, perfect landings.. i might have to do a small submax jump off the ledge i'm using and then stick the landing.. that's not really how I'd prefer to do them, I like going from completely relax to sticking the landing.. dno though, after I get it to about 36+" i'll maybe come up with something.

peace man!

sick, i got some props in a chezkenny vid.. niiiiiiiice!$@!


now that's a depth jump haha

lol wtf? that's seriously impressive.. most people's (including athletes) legs would be wrecked trying to do that, especially at 43.

i don't even get how that's "parkour style", you never see that in parkour.. or am i wrong? parkour has people rolling etc, or really dissipating all energy in the landing, he absorbed a ton of force in his legs.
