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

see everyone later tonight.

pc



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!

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.

GOOD JOB ON 440 u beast xD
thanks man.



ya i'd start phasing in some lower level reactive work & decreasing overall lifting volume, but keeping intensity high.. that's just general concept, I can help you put together something for sure, give me an idea of what you're thinking too, because I know you're a work-a-holic and it's hard for you to stay away from the gym.. hah


Right now I was thinking for 2-3 weeks after the meet reduce calories and really work on losing weight before doing to much jumps/stuff related. I am thinking about training 2x a day for three weeks after the comp and No heavy squats (to let knees heal they been bad from all the ibprofen I used after pec strain. But instead of hitting cardio hard just to do lots of bb'ing style training to burn calories and focus on fats/protein and not worry about strength loss (It can be regained and furthered when I get bodyfat lower)

heres Is just an idea:
Monday: Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees- and then optional basketball.
Tuesday: shoulders/tris/
Wednesday: Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Thursday: back stuff/ optional basketball
Friday: light cardio/off
Saturday: Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Sunday: rest.

then for diet:
6 meals of chicken/olive oil/bunch of vegetables (occasionally substitute other type of meat in)
Protein shake before and after training.

caffeine 150-200mg upon waking/ around 2. (I don't get hungry this way)

Lemme know what you think If your not busy brah.


nice, overall I like it.. I mean your main concern now is to maintain lean mass while reducing bodyfat, and heal those knees up, so the routine you listed is pretty good, and given your work capacity, easily doable.. I would make a few changes, don't know if you like them, but just simple changes to not stress your knees further.



Monday: BASKETBALL-STUFF + Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Tuesday: shoulders/tris/
Wednesday: {LIGHT-INTERVAL-SPRINTS OR BASKETBALL-STUFF} + Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Thursday: back stuff/ optional basketball
Friday: light cardio/off
Saturday: {LIGHT-INTERVAL-SPRINTS OR BASKETBALL-STUFF} + Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Sunday: rest.


all i did was throw in some light interval sprinting before the lowerbody sessions.. beyond just being cardio & improving your "dynamic movement" work capacity, it'll help you really warmup great for lower, giving your knees an extra break. I would keep the sprints under 70%, and just non stop sprint out ~20 yards, relaxed deceleration, walk back nice and relaxed, repeat, for 20-30min. Work on really pull-running instead of push running, in case that's an issue.. really get the glutes/hams involved.



One more thing you could do, to help maintain more upper lean mass, would be to hit back/shoulders/tri's/bi's in the same session, switching the schedule up slightly to provide adequate rest between those sessions:



Monday: BASKETBALL-STUFF + Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Tuesday: shoulders/tris + back/bi's (supersets?)
Wednesday: {LIGHT-INTERVAL-SPRINTS OR BASKETBALL-STUFF} + Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Thursday: light cardio/off
Friday: shoulders/tris + back/bi's (supersets?)
Saturday: {LIGHT-INTERVAL-SPRINTS OR BASKETBALL-STUFF} + Hamstring/legs/anything to strengthen legs without pressuring knees
Sunday: rest.


nothing major in the modifications, but hope that helps a bit..

peace

check at 1:20, the comparison between andre/julius .. pretty nice comparison of force absorption/landing mechanics.

they are only about $8 shipped in Taiwan.  :-)  i like the idea behind it and most reviews on amazon are quite positive about it.  adarq: maybe you'll like them if you tried them for a bit longer?!

i doubt it, i like regular pushups/dips much more :)

for $8, i'd get them, you might love em` who knows hah

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: junk food diet that works
« on: November 11, 2010, 05:35:09 am »
my post on another forum:

awesome, a professor who was 33% fat got down to 24% eating far less than maintenance kcal consisting of junk, who cares Smile

a calorie is not just a calorie, a gram of carb (especially sugar) has a very different effect on the body than a gram of protein. Hormonally, junk is not something we should be consuming if we want to get strong, shredded, and actually put on mass. Sure he lost some body fat, but we're athletes, not fat f**k professors who have alot of bodyfat to lose.. Junk food diets typically don't do well with performance athletes, it leaves them less alert & less motivated to compete. I guarantee you that, these stupid studies would be alot different if you look at someone trying to go from 15% BF to 6% bodyfat. A caloric deficit wouldn't mean (expletive), the body would try to keep fat (which would happen easily due to all the sugars/sat fat you're eating), and you'd actually lose lean mass.. so sure, your BMI would go down, but you'd lose mass and become relatively fatter.

I hate that stupid study Smile

peace

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. :)

Yeah, maybe its  just a weird coincidence, cause a lot of people said that gym do not slow down your growth. Anyway, i decided to start going to the gym from the start of the next year, dont be hurry with that if you are busy, i have a lot of time, anyway i saw a little improovement today, without a warming which is  weird  i somehow dunked on 9.5ft rim, from one leg jump, even i dont know how i did it but it was pretty awesome i wasnt able to do that before.

good job man, all progress is good progress.
