some random dribbling from tonight too, i need to stay consistent on this for at least 1 week so i can drop a cool video.. lol i barely dribble, eventually i could drop some really cool shit if i just stuck with it.. i got so many weird transitions/movements that people don't often see.. more like dancing with a ball... alot of room for improvement this is just some sub-optimal footage for the time being, just want to see how it looked, rendered.


peace

going to upload a few dribbling clips from tomorrow too (not related to basketball-drills thread, taking 2 hours to render the vid), first time dribbling hard in zoom waffles, felt amazing.. loved it.. havn't been dribbling so i screwed up more than normal but i have to stay consistent, i could drop some fun stuff with in-game handles/dribbling videos... i want to drop a 10 min vid just swagging out dribbling, no messups ;d .. my movement seemed very good/explosive/stiff, i was happy with it.


10/23/2010

BW = 149.4 <-- i took a pic on my cam for fun, of teh scale
soreness = quads/glutes, mostly glutes, sheeeeit
aches/injuries = felt pretty good
fatigue = woke up 2pm, had a bad sleep, felt tired by 3pm, slept from 3:30 to 7pm, went to dunk at 8:30pm.. fatigue was way less when i woke up at 7pm, still felt sleepy until i got warmed up tho then i felt good

workout #1: dunks
- check pics abuv ^^^
- felt good initally, dropped off after like 10 jumps.. wind messed alot of my lobs up.. landed some nasty dunks, didnt think they came out good until i checked out vid
- saving vid of a few more sessions then going to put it in a mix or something.. so im saving this footage and last session etc.



workout #2:
- dips: 2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 8, 8, 8, 8, 5,
- half squat @ 148 lb: 225, 235, 235, 235, 235, 235,
- calf raise: 45 lb bar @ 30,30,30,30,30

squatting felt weak, glutes /quads just too sore.. good sign though, im strong right now considering.. hah

ok peace!!!!!
















This one looks soooooooooo high. Look where your head is!!!!!!  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

thanks man, ya i remember that jump specifically.. i had to jump backwards to try and stay really vertical to get the lob, then realized i havn't been thinking of jumping backwards which really helps me.. i remember that jump koz it felt damn high even though i screwed up the dunk attempt with the bad lob.

peace!@$!@

pc!




so i played today's game.
rim was slightly lower than the high rim i posted a vid of.

off a dropstep, i could get an inch above. this was like my 2nd attempt. (dropstep = 1 step, leading to the plant and jump right?)

needless to say, i was psyched, cos i couldnt do it previously. but during halftime, i tried a few RVJ, only managed at best 2 inches above.
sure i was fatigued, and my groin is sore like no other, but disappointing nonetheless.

well, good and bad about the jumps.. i mean those drop step jumps were good, if you got more jump sessions in during the week your jumping would definitely be better.. it's ok man just keep trying to get those sessions in, you have more in you..

peace

so, i dropped off pretty quick again, after like 10 max jumps.. but i hit some good dunks and had some nice jumps.. im surprised, my timing was all off on lobs so i was frustrated plus it was windy, which messed my lobs up also.. glutes were sore all day today, quads still sore too.. man big things are coming i know it..

haha thanks guys....andrew I think the pec is a little bit worse then a strain, but its feeling better everyday.

ya well strain just implies tear, what level strain it is, you'd know more about that.. sounds like a pretty bad tear initially, but it's definitely not a full tear.

glad it's feeling better..

Hi guys after a few weeks of lurking in these forums I've decided that I wanna "learn" free-running/parkour is learn is the term but I'm a tennis/basketball player so I really do not know where to start for Parkour. If you guys have any helpful suggestions please post thxs.

sup man! I've tried to mess around with it a few times by myself, but got bored quickly.. the key would be to find a parkour/free running group in your area, which is highly likely now-days.. that sport has really exploded.

where do you live? search online, search youtube with your area + parkour/freerunning tags, hit up some parkour forums, try to find some people who are into that stuff.

if you can't find anyone, perhaps there is a gymnastics gym nearby? that would surely have people into 'tricking' which goes hand-in-hand with free-running.. you could practice all types of tricks/flips safely in those kinds of gyms.. that would be a very good place to start.

hope that helps somewhat, i don't do parkour/free running myself, though i admire what they do.

peace!

Lmao about this thread, i feel the same way, its that stupid west side craze that sucks everyone in to thinking box jumps are the be all to end all vert training exercise. Doing box jumps is what stuffed my back up for another 2 months, landing in such an unctrolled fashion(barely ever do you land on the balls of your feet, usually your whole foot all at once-which sends so much force through your body), with a massive flexed back, cant be good at all.

ya, sometimes i think louie simmons is trolling... built a good rep, then decided to preach about some dumb shit like box jumps & kneeling lifts being "amazing".. i think i hate kneeling lifts more than box jumps :)

KNEELING POWER CLEANS
KNEELING SNATCH
KNEELING BOX JUMPS <-- ok i hate those more than anything because they combine the two.

powerlifters love box jumps, crossfitters love box jumps & kneeling oly's & kipups.

i just realized crossfit bugs the shit out of me, they love box jumps, kneeling oly's, and kipups.. all 3 of which i created threads about.

ok i don't mind crossfit, but it's funny that they utilize those 3 exercises so heavily.

lol i got so sucked into this fad that i even contemplated going to clark rubber to get mats to put on my 30inch table to increast the heigh.

ahaahahah that is bad  :o

ok so, this morning has been rough so far, woke up twice to find my grandpa lying on the ground.. first time he explained how he called me for so long but couldn't wait any longer so he tried to goto the bathroom by himself.. i knew it was bullshit :) so 4 hours later i hear a huge thud, come out, there he is again, this time worse with a bloody head/small lump.. he's fine but i knew he was trying to 'escape' (his words), he feels like he can do things by himself but he can't stand/walk without us (me/my dad) holding him up.. so anyway, after this second fall it seems like it sunk in that he can't be doing that shit, i mean it's been 2 years since he's been able to do it. he'll forget months from now and do that dumb shit again, i just explained to him that if he broke his hip, life would truly be hell.

anyway i video taped the second incident to get to the bottom of it, on video, in case teh po-po ended up being involved.. might upload it to youtube later lololol.

peace



Mate, those jumps are absolutely ridiculous at how high you are off the ground, my mind is blown :o


That third pic 8)

haha! i might try and dunk again tonight, been a rough morning but my legs feel better than yesterday so..

hopefully i can make your mind SHITBRIX.










tried editing some dunk scene for my vid tonight, pretty annoyed, since i can't use the music i've wanted to use for so long, because it'll get flagged, i have to find other stuff.. can't find anything.. well i found something but it doesn't fit the session.

peace

Yeah you can bro. You have to edit the music in someway so that it differs from the original..

i wish i could, but, i got two strikes mang.. heh.. i can use some really contorted dubsteps etc.. but i guess it's time to make my own shit or use some really obscure shit.

the sound of the ball agaisnt the ground, the sound of the dunk, the sound of the rim getting raped. Thats the only music you need.

and the quote of the week goes to............................ GUGA

ya man im with you on that.. i like just the pure sounds of training/performing too, but i guess that's for the raw footage, when i put together actual mixes, music does help when it's on point, especially if i mix the footage to the music properly.. for 99% of the people viewing, it gives them a 'heightened experience'..

but ya i love just the raw footage, especially of olympic training halls for oly lifting etc..

peace man

Introduce Yourself / Re: old fat guy introducing
« on: October 23, 2010, 05:58:02 am »
hey, i've seen you around on a few forums :D

welcome man

Hey everyone,

I'm a 29 year old dude from the Netherlands (close to Amsterdam). I've been obsessed with vertical jump training all my life, came at a stop at 22 years old, discovered american football, and became really heavy, like 240 lbs at 6"2. Ironically, that's also the time in my life I jumped the highest. However, my knees paid (tendinitis and meniscus problems), I got fat, and now just try to reclaim what was lost. I must admit I'm also a afraid my age won't let me come back, but I'll try regardless.

you can become pretty athletic still, 29 aint nothin, hell im 28 :d we've got a couple of others on here > 30, such as vag etc.. you can do it.. right now, most important would just be making sure you get in good shape and fix any body composition issues.. getting older + being heavy + jumping is not the best formula ;d



Quote
I don't have any vids, but in my best year, I could tomahawk a bball two handed and windmilled it once. I'm a classic two legger, I can barely dunk one legged. I squat around 385 at 225 rock bottom, nothing special.

damn sick dunks there for 6'2!@@$!



Quote
And my advice to the youngsters: pick a routine, keep it simple, and stick with a few exercises. I've wasted many years doing all kinds of complicated stuff, whereas the basics would've been all that was necessary.

yup, i agree.. weren't you on the inno sport forum? <-- as a forum, talk about not keeping it simple



Quote
I hope to regain my vert and then some, gain back my one legged vertical, and finally squat 2x bodyweight this year, at a bodyweight of 200lbs or less.

nice, go get it.. start a journal maybe so we can all see your progress? if not it's cool, but would be fun to watch.

Peace! Nice site btw, Keep it up Andrew....

peace man and thanks alot for the compliment!

bw = 150
soreness = quads/hamstrings (bad)
aches/injuries = none
fatigue = medium

man my quads were toast wtf

workout: dunk session
- got up pretty good, pics above
- landed 2 dribble up one handers and two dribble up two handers, 2 self lobs
- glute bridges: 5 x 50 ez work for tomorrow
- calf raises: 5 x 30 ez work for tomorrow

sooo.. my dad was going out tomorrow night that's why i made sure to dunk tonight, but after, i find out he's not going so, i might actually try and dunk tomorrow too.. i havn't done back to back jump/dunk sessions in a while, last time i did, 2nd session sucked bad.. but i was pretty inhibited today so, hopefully tomorrow my legs feel good..

i think tomorrow i'll be < 150 when i wakeup.
