ok so, briefly, im at my house with a gatlin gun (huge machine gun), and cops are surrounding my house.. so i started offing them like terminator, then i take off on foot, in a battle with them for miles.. until i reach some parking garage.. and im running out of ammo.. then i just wake up.

was pretty crazy though.

You have violent dreams.

Another way to work pinch is hang weights from books of various thickness.

802 lunges. Are you fucking kidding me. Damn man. You mad!

i'm going to add weight next time.. 10 lb plate in my backpack @ 400 each leg.. :D

How long do the lunges take? What is the primary purpose of them?

Have you tried rolling with a golf ball? That helped when I had plantar fasciitis.

Save the gas money and check the distance with www.mapmyrun.com

I have done power pullups In the past, I like them a lot, they have a very different feel to ordinary reps.

my best broad jump (well only time i done it was last year) was 2.85 metres  ~112", I want to start recording it again and hit 3m......................THAT VID ANDREW POSTED UP WAS CRAZY!

nice 112" aint bad, get that 120+.

ya i love that vid :P

The broad jump seems to use a fair amount more glute (hip extension) and less quad (knee extension)


yup, as you go from vertical to horizontal, contribution of hamstrings/glutes increases, quad contribution decreases.

so if you have a big vert and not a big broad jump then you know your quads are the strong suit..am i right?

so Adarqui that means you might be have strong quads and not as strong glutes

It could also be that one whose vertical is better than their broad jump has merely practice the vertical jump more. Broad jumps require a lot of technique.

yea built up nerve connections from repition right?

but i am still wondering how that 1 guy beat Adarqui, just does'nt make sense 2 me

Adarqui relies on reactivity in his jumps. His SVJ sucks too, he's just weak basically.  ;D

His back is quite impressive for someone so skinny. I would certainly prefer to be built like that guy than myself, currently.

« on: July 13, 2010, 09:56:52 pm »
If you go frame by frame and stop right where his front knee crosses the line, the iphone does say 4.29. I am not sure if that means anything in terms of accuracy though.

Beastly.

Well, Marian Woronin ran 9.992, but that was rounded up to 10.0.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Woronin

A half-white half-aborigine guy ran 9.93. I do not know if that counts though.
