um, what about no calves??
justin darlington:
Now I feel like a longer flatter calf or something can stretch and rebound better and is better suited for jumping.

I got a 400... back in freshman or sophomore year it woulda been like a 500... I've never been more motivated in my entire life than I was in those years. If I could go back in time and watch myself train, I'd be in awe.

Damn I asked the trainer and he said it was 55lbs but I dont have proof, you're right. The only reason I hate having 405lbs there is because you're At 407 lol! I weigh 200lbs with my sneakers sweatpants iPod phone and stuff with food and water in me. Nude in the morning I weigh 193. I list 200 for when I do the chins because that's what I'm actually liftin at that point.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Do not take adderall and other amphetamines

Took the ACT, got a 27.
Took the SAT, got a 1760 (which happened to be the exact ACT 27 equivalent... damn accurate!)
Re-took the ACT, got a 32 (SAT 2150 equivalent).
You know how I kicked ass on that second ACT? I was much more mentally focused and a bit alert. I DID NOT study for it. And guess what...
It wasn't aderall or another drug either. It just so happened that the long ass reading passages in the second ACT that I took were really interesting as hell, and science has proven that when you're interested in a subject you're learning, you retain the information so much better! So what happened was, that on the english, reading, and science sections, I was so into the damn stuff that I was reading, I almost never had to go back into the text to look for the answer. I just remembered it. What that did was make my answers much more accurate (I didn't go back and reason between two different passages to decide which one was correct or whatever) as well as save a shit load of time so I had [color="red"]plenty[/color] of time to answer the tougher questions.
Math, of course, I got a 33 on both exams because that really doesn't get any more or less interesting. It was still just the same math, different problems. Not like they had algebra on the first ACT and then all of a sudden calculus on the second ACT.
So what the hell is my advice anyway?... take the ACT a bunch of times! That may cost money for you, but chances are that one of them is going to be way easier than the others for a bunch of reasons. I mean how likely is it that every single ACT is equally difficult every single time? Without studying, your scores will fluctuate, and you can just send in the higher scores only to your colleges (or a low to mid to high level to show you progressed a lot; they like that). On top of that, you KNOW the scores will fluctuate (in your favor most likely) because you don't get penalized for guessing wrong on the ACT. Maybe on one test you had bad guesses and good ones on the next.
Then, if you factor in the extra studying and test-taking experience (VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE), you'll really be putting the whole ACT/SAT stuff in your favor. On top of that, don't treat it like a test. Try to think of it as just reading cool and interesting stories and stuff, and if the stuff happens to interest you, well then, that's a high score right there (like it happened to me. jumped up 5pts on the act (390 on the SAT) with zero studying).
I had a 95 average in HS in my second quarter... 4th quarter went down to a 78 (never been lower than an 86 in my entire life)... now i have a 2.8 in college hahahha damn college hit me hard. So stressful lol. But I'm picking things back up now and I'm doing great, aiming for a 3.6 this semester.
