There is something a little sick about all of that haha. But I'm right with you. Make it fucken happen man
ya i agree, hahaha.. people tonight must have thought I was insane, just jumping and hitting head on backboard pad WHILE they were playing half court.... i time it well though, I don't get in the way.

The jumps are looking pretty damn high btw. No lob to chase either so that's pretty promising. Good stuff.
thanks man.. ya some of them do look pretty high, not sure exactly how high, but I know I could have gotten higher had I been in my rhythm without little 5 year old's smacking my tripod/camera...
strained my left thumb really bad on that landing from my hand-height jump in the vid, second clip, that hand that hits the ground, the thumb bent back weird.. lool.. hurting.
jumping got massively derailed.. poured all day... all outdoor courts soaked.. had to goto outdoor court with roof, which is always packed, and, it didn't disappoint, completely packed..... both ends of court, kids everywhere.
workout: jumps - dno had some alright ones, sporadic jumps, couldn't do my thing, hit my head on the backboard pad a bunch of times, a few times coming down, felt awesome, was fun..
workout #2: strenf, i'm becoming a high rep addict again, but whatever, it's fun.. - half squat: 225 x 5, 5, 5, 5 - S1: db row: 60 @ 15, 16, 23, 20, - S1: half squat: 135 @ 15, 20, 21, 20 <-- glutes/hams DYING, disappointed with myself though, i should be hitting 30 every set.. at least.. with 135.
last jump is pretty sick........ pause the first & last jump a few times in the slowmo, watch my head smack that shit, i dno, i find it funny.. feels cool.. also, check the people playing dice in the upper left on my first head2backbaord jump.
some pics from tonight, went bad, i mean, it rained everywhere so i had to goto the outdoor roof'd court, which is always packed, so i had to get jumps in after a game and then while the game was going on eh... bleh.. other court had some young kid bball practice going on, then from 8:45 to 9pm (lights off) they just stood there on the court giving their little motivational speeches, while other people could have been using the court.. bums.
hit my head on that backboard pad pretty hard on this first pic..
bad reach pic, i mean, i just walked by trying to reach up, lameness.
but regardless whether you hit your head or not on the rim...
your hops are gonna be sky high... 45 inches! or plus!
hope so man, working my a$$ off... check my vid im abotu to post, hitting my head on that backboard pad coming down, on the last jump, looks pretty high.. but i actually REALLY enjoy hitting my head on the damn backboard, i think i'd enjoy it even more hitting it on rim.. i honestly think i'd just go jump and hit my head on rim over and over, when i can do it.. bwahahah!@$!@
-Warmup -Sprint/hurdle mobility drills -Sprint warmup: a few starts on blocks. Did a bit of recording today. -Hurdle warmup: a few more starts just over first hurdle. A few recordings on this too that I'll post to youtube later.
-Hurdle endurance: Set 1 -Sprint 5 hurdles (60m) -Walk back to start. -Repeat x 3 Set 2-3 -Sprint 5 hurdles -Walk to start -Repeat x 4
-Sand runs -4 min barefoot run on beach volleyball court
-Stretch + PWO shake.
Some of my runs felt insane. This was 3" below competition height, but it was still crazy. Felt really fast between hurdles, but I still feel like my start needs a bit more work. Looked through my footage and it's definitely better than what I was looking like last season and even on my last vid. Pretty stoked for indoor track season now.
damn man, things are looking good, nice work!
when is indoor track exactly, your first meet?
pc!

Rehearsals are going to mess up my schedule for a while. (same as my schedule's been before) Planned on doing upper body after rehearsal, but the gym closed at 9:30 and not 10pm like I thought. Going in after school tomorrow for upper body work and delaying next sprint day until Saturday. I'm hoping to do some long jump footage too to check that since I haven't practiced jumps since the season was over.
How high is the bottom of the backboard plus pad? Looks like you are about at where the pad connects to backboard.
dno, bottom of backboard pad is prolly < 9', like 8'10" or something, i imagine the actual bottom of that backboard is 9' though, the pad is added inches.. definitely above the pad tho.

OK, here's my deal. I'm almost 30, baby on the way, full time job, and desperately want to DUNK!!! I can't stand it anymore. I'm 6'1", 205 lbs, and have a running vert of 28" and standing of 24". Let's do this!
hah nice!! i will check out your journal in a bit..
The reason Zach gets made fun of is because Rippetoe bragged about how much muscle and how little fat he put on. Rippetoe is the reason the kid gets made fun of online, because he was bragging about the Aesthetic part of it. If he just talked about how he got his squat up 200 pounds in 6 months, then nobody would care.
Rip was claiming like 45 pounds of muscle and 20 pounds of fat or something ridiculous like that.
steven-miller, i'm not making fun of Zach one bit, but the fact is that's what happens when you bulk dirty. He might not care one bit about any of that, but that has no bearing on what actually happened to his physique during that bulk.. Lots of people think you have to stuff your face to put on some decent mass, and end up going down the road he took to put on mass, usually not to that extent, but that "well i'll put on fat with muscle then cut (edit:) fat" ideology is definitely the most common among athletes trying to put on mass, imo.
This is old news bruh, I saw this shit when it came out.
I side with the young guy even though he is obnoxious. Old people always think they can tell younger people what to do.
cool story bro
on a serious note, that guido douche was yelling out obscenities between points, tennis isn't the place for "OH COME THE FUCK ON" & shit like that, neither are baseball games or football games, but it's far more likely to happen at baseball/football games, which have kids around etc.. I remember being a young kid going to baseball games and trashy jerks like that would be cursing their brains out, and my dad would get into big heated confrontations with them, it was not fun.. I hate people like that, so I side with the old man & his daughter or whatever. People like that should be kicked out, or beat the fuck down, for example, I loved it when ron artest ran up in the stands with the intention of fucking that guy up who threw the drink on him, these people in the stands think they are athletes, it's pathetic.
