Yup , that jump , its insanely high , ~42'' or more , legit , word!

DAMN , i just checked his account, he removed all the old vids! That's a real loss to the dunking youtube community!!! :( :( :(

NOT kidding , those vids and comment battles were epic...


ya that's a bummer, loved the comments.. but really i got to give him some major props on that jump heh, it's disgusting.. mid-forearm with a nice bend is pretty sick, definitely around 42 i agree. regardless, can't disagree with the human-vertec aka vag.

I don't like barbell shrugs either. I prefer db shrugs or plate shrugs (for the plates with handles).

ya i just get much more trap with arms at my sides, my db's will be even further away from my body too, because i'll have to use my 25 lb plates which are pretty thick, so arms being out further to the side will stress the traps even further.

i'll still do barbell shrugs occasionally, just to manhandle some barbell weight, but i like db's.. If I start deadlifting more then my traps would get hit hard regardless, i have a pretty beast DL if I train it.. gonna keep it light though on DL.

Oh and about the hypertrophy stuff: if you look at Shannon Brown, he's having massive posterior chain muscle mass... yet he jumps 45+ off one leg. You can see he voluntarily generates the force to get up there.

what do you mean yet? massive hamstring muscle is going to aid in dlrvj/slrvj, but it's also a sign that shannon brown simply is explosive & carries a bit more muscle than the average person, in the right places, im sure his glutes and quads are equally massive, similar to what you would see in most sprinters.

peace man

bw = 150.2
soreness = quads (majority)/hamstrings/glutes, not as bad though as last time i did that session, i'll be recovered by wed most likely
aches/injuries = not much, left big toe bugging cause i clipped my toenail and it somehow got sensitive
fatigue = pretty tired today

black olive & mushroom pizza + ice cream tonight, plus not dealing with trick or treaters, FTW.



workout:
- standing ohp:  70 @ 2 (warmup), 12, 15, 13, 13, burned..
- 3" bar curl: 50 @ 5 (warmup), 15, 16, 17, ....... 70 lb 2" bar:  5, 8
- 10 lb plate rear delt: 10, 10, 10, 10, ...... 10 lb db's: 15,      

fun, getting stronger pretty quick.. should be interesting to see what i'm doing come Dec 1.






hmm.. tomorrow.. what shall i do.. i'm thinking of doing (edit: some reactive work prior to the circuit if im not sore, MR tucks) a circuit of:
- some LIGHT deadlifting
- db shrugs (i don't like bb shrugs)
- POSSIBLE BARBELL FLOOR PRESS, lying on the dirt/grass (sounds diesel), don't know yet.. if not, maybe just pushups

peacE :D

adarq, do you have a track near you? (florida is like top in US for high school and college track, gotta have one near you)

i have a shitty pavement track with baseball clay on it, yes, good collegiate level track, no.. well no as in, it's about 15 minutes from me by car.

if all gyms are closed you could go there, i jump max height into the long jump sand pit, it's fun, and easier on joints...plus it mixes up the workout a little , i see that you like to change location to mix it up every now and then

nah i'd be going late, most every school has the lights off on their tracks when I drive by at those times..

plus, i need to see you on a sprint, i want to see your 100m..........

no way im running a 100m any time soon, i give not a shit :)

Performance Training Blog / Re: ADARQ.ORG Officially Endorses Nike Zoom Waffle Racers

What kind of material is the inner sole made of? Rubber or foam? I can't jump in rubber shoes, only foam.

not sure.. by feel, it feels hard like rubber.. but the heel of the shoe on the outside looks kind of foamish, so maybe the heel is foam and under that is rubber, then the rest of the sole is rubber.

dno

funny thing though, my zoom waffle racers are completely grinded down, 'slippery sole', like glass, yet i have been doing jumps/dunks fine in them.. I could never do that in basketball shoes I'd slip way more than I do in the waffles.. Plus i'd have a hole in them by now if they were basketball shoes. Soon they will probably rip though, I'm surprised this pair has lasted as long as they have.

Raptor what's your routine look like and what exercises are you using?  Have you ever trained specifially for hypertrophy with a higher volume routine like 10 x 10 or anything crazy like 20 rep squats?  If not, you might consider a higher volume alternating intensification/volume format. For example,  on your high volume day go something like 5 x 5, 1 x 15-20.  On your lower volume day go something like 5 x 1-3, 1 x 8-10.  

My hunch is you probably don't grow well in your legs off low rep stuff so some high reps and/or volume will probably do you good.

i'm in total agreement for people who are dead-set on hypertrophy (or a dedicated hypertrophy block), 20 rep squats have put so much mass on me 1.5 years ago it was ridiculous.. My legs became monstrous (relatively) by the time I hit 225 x 20, I couldn't jump for shit, but I put on a ton of mass.. I remember going from 170 to 180 or so on my 3-4 week 20 rep squat block.

10 x 10 is solid too.

In raptor's case though, with his aches/injuries/knee issue, I wouldn't do 20 rep/10x10. It would probably make him so sore + cause that knee so achy that he would literally kill himself. HEH

does anybody else think he seems a little "different"? to me he seems more quiet and a little bit more of a thinker/contemplater

ya he actually sounded serious in that video, that's why i watched it.. i hate when he just babbles like a tard, but that vid was nice.
