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!!!!!

10/10/2010

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.

I usually eat at least an hour before any session. Yesterday I had an early session since there was no school. Eggs with onion, tomato and bell pepper and some spinach and green tea. Hydration wasn't too much of an issue yesterday. But even when I hadn't eaten much, the first day back in training after being at the hospital every evening, the same thing happened, but I only dry heaved. The food is definitely more than I used to eat, but it's not like I'm stuffing myself every meal. By the time I get to my session I feel pretty normal. (Not hungry/not heavy.)

odd... hopefully this stops happening pretty soon, not sure about this.. usually people who puke during sessions of 400's (lactic work), they have a history of it.

Man, the guy got small as hell. He is really looking scrawny there and I liked it better when he performed his ugly but heavy squats, cleans, snatches and deadlifts. He used to have a decent bench, too.

ya he lost so much power..
