Thanks everybody!

I tried hangtiming those and shit was weird. I got 25 frames for first jump and 27 for second jump (outdoor dunks). I know there are a lot of variables there but 27 frames = .891 seconds = 38.25" LOL. Idk but I think I'm above 34 on those two so I'll call those pr's.

i'll try to hangtime them later. ;)

bw = 154 (bananas, literally !!)
soreness = hamstrings a little (still), chest a little still
aches/injuries = felt pretty good
fatigue = low

workout: dunk session, caff'd up hardcore!
- drove 45 minutes to a court that should be open until 11pm based on the website (FAU outside courts), got there at 9:50, lights were already off.. fml

video-shoot:
- went to parking garage & shot some footage for my vid.. vid seems to be coming out alright but man filming by yourself sucks, too far zoomed out in the cam, so, had to zoom in with vid editor and that loses quality.. also messed up a closeup with me and my rambo knife.
- cool shit.. i was holding my rambo knife grilling camera, taking really deep breathes, and after like 20 or so i started shaking, shit got crazy, cant see it on cam, but glutes/legs/body was shaking, like i was ready to kill something.. i had to hold this position + breathing for 3 minutes so it got kinda nutty.. hardly blinked either, thought i'd get good closeup on cam but too far out.

workout #2:
- 3:10am - 4:00am : 10, 15, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10, 10, 10 = 265 tot
- hamstring iso: 1, 1, 1, 1,
- calf raise: 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20,



might upload video tonight, dno, i'm still amped up from taking so much caffeine today & not really working out good.. sucks (6:51am)

after rendering the vid, see a few things i need to fix.. vid came out pretty cool though.. will fix those things tomorrow and upload.

700 lb deadlift =  :o

props, that is one of the best deadlifts based on age/weight on youtube ever, pretty sure of it.

you're reaching for the rim on dj's right?

Wrong! :D
I do DJs in my house , and the ceiling is low ( about 8'6'' ) so all i can do is head-height jumps.


oooh, i may have asked that before, forgive me if i forgot :)  cool, ya video analysis would be best.. i remember seeing some really weird vert measuring device, which hooked some kind of tape measurer to your waist, but i don't see how that could work due to horizontal displacement.. was odd, need to find the link for it again one day, i've never seen anyone use it anywhere.

Went to the gym today just to move around some, roll a lot and stretch a lot.

Shoot hoops x 20-25 mins -- money in the bank, shorty whatcha drank. Could not miss.
EDIT: Interspersed were ~15 DLRVJs -- best was about 30.5", most 29.5-30, pretty weak, was thinking about the runup too much
jump rope incl double unders practice -- totaled about 50 double unders and a bunch more stuff
row x 2000m, easy if inconsistent pace, ~8:30

SMR x25-30 mins
stretch x15 mins

Felt nice.

hahaha lol'd.

Unfortunately, I only have an audio and still pics...but in order to provide "proof" that I'm actually the one in the vid, I've included a "review" http://www.cvnc.org/reviews/2004/may/RSOFuture.html from the classical voice of nc...I'm mentioned briefly in the 3rd to last paragraph; they misspell my name as Sreeniker Ram instead of Sreeniket Ram, lol...

very nice man, your playing & the whole philharmonic was very nice!

when was this? the article didn't say?

Thought I would post this here because this is a huge achievement for me, 2+ years in the making.

The rim outside is ~9'8. When I first started training for vert in late summer of 2008 I could not even touch the 9'8 rim, I was probably about 3-4 inches away. So now,over 2 years later, I have thrown down my first dunks on that rim so it is a huge deal to me. It seems surreal to me that I am less than 4 inches away from dunking on a 10' rim. Before I started training for vert I could only get about the top knot on the net.

Vert for indoor session is probably about 33", outdoor session was at least 34" I would say, but not positive.

Special thanks to adarq for all the help with training, wouldn't be getting up this high without him. Also thanks to everyone on here who has encouraged me.

GO GET IT








topic stickied.. very happy for you arowe, that is some serious improvement over 2 years, you should be proud you hung in there and achieved this goal... i have no doubt you will throw one down just as hard on 10' if you keep going.

glad i could be of help along the way too!

peace man!

11 October 2010

Soreness: none
Injuries/aches : none

Plyos session.

- Dynamic warmup 10'

-4x10sec bilateral line hops ( 2 left-right / 2 back-forth )

-4x5 MR tuck jumps

-2x5 27'' depth drops

-2x5 18'' depth jumps

MR tuck jumps were better in terms of shin stress , but thats beause i did 4x5 instead of 3x10
Depth drops were much improved , great FA and very smooth too.
DJs more or less the same with last time , gotta start filming those to track performance.


you're reaching for the rim on dj's right?

10-10-10 and 10-11-10

Tennis ball dunks on indoor 10' are on 10-10-10, outdoor dunks on 9'8 are on 10-11-10.

Dunks on 10' I wasn't getting up my highest, they were probably 33". The dunks on 9'8 I was getting up a lot better, if the rim is 9'8 it looks like I was getting my whole hand an inch above it which would be 34.5" but idk, hard to tell.

Enjoy

I just dreamed that adarqui came in Romania, while me and Nightfly were searching for an apartment near a gypsy ghetto... there were a TON of gypsies outside talking crap while we were around browsing, only to find out that my ex-teacher (classes 1-4) was in supervising the projects...

Then adarqui came in, I don't remember what we talked about though... it started to fade away after I woke up. I think it was something about boxing, oh yeah - we met one weird violent, crazy guy - and I was like "hey you need to go train in boxing" and he was like "really, you think so? did you box?" so adarqui was "right... tell him (at least we can get rid of him)" so I recommended that guy to join "the only boxing gym around".

It was really weird. The conclusion was that "now I can come visit Florida, right" :D

PS. The reason why I dreamed "about" adarqui was because I just browsed through his facebook account yesterday evening, viewed some pictures (yes, it was limited to that, don't worry) etc.

hot!!!!!

bw = 151
soreness = hamstrings/lats/chest
aches/injuries = not much
fatigue = high

man i am so depleted right now.. funny



workout: played basketball, 1 game, 4 on 4, after shooting around for a bit.. actually played good and im fatigued as shit, with some good competition.. my defense was legit, locked down this fast/good point guard, he was killing everyone game before, word... jumper was inches short for the most part, but i did hit 4 shots, should have hit ~5 more shots though for sure.

- dips: 5 x 5
- barbell bicep curl: 45 lb @ 5 x 12 <-- lol

video editing,

kinda cool, a bit sloppy but i will eventually master this stuff.
