Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: sleep
« on: October 01, 2010, 10:43:54 pm »during school. i go to sleep at 11 and wake at 5 30am for my 6 15am bus. to catch up on sleep a bit during weekend, shud i sleep from ~10pm-6 or from 11-7? basically, should i alter my bedtime or my wake up time when catching up on sleep?
can you just sleep in on the weekends? that would be your best bet.. wakeup without any external interference..

FORGOT TO MENTION, i was bored during last night's walk so, i thought, hm lemme try and hold my breathe, ill count how many walking strides i can take while holding my breathe.. first set got like 40, by like the 20th set i hit 70 strides holding breathe.. was kind of fun.. every time after holding my breathe for so long, i felt blood rush into my legs and i felt real light for a short period of time.
was pretty cool
New level-7 idea: Hold breath while doing max RVJs, until you start to black out. Then breathe. Body freaks out. Dunks galore.
i tend to hold my breathe during my runup/jump, kind of like when im squatting, then you hear that hiss sound as i expel the air.
holding breathe was kind of fun though, it woke me up pretty good.

« on: October 01, 2010, 03:29:09 pm »yo I thought you were ending GPP and moving into SPP? That really blows about your calves man; do you find self-trigger point therapy helpful? It usual just causes me more pain (I used to do that shit with the lateral aspect of my knees a lot in the past). Who knee'd your calf???
well i was moving into spp but my feet are kind of wrecked.. i can't do jump sessions the way i want, left heel and right foot pad are kind of wrecked.. now i got this damn calf shit, which hopefully will be alot better tomorrow, i think it will.. single leg jumping, for my feet, feels alot better, and i have a feeling my single leg vert is about to explode.. it feels ---- different.
self trigger point stuff, i rarely do it.. i don't find it too helpful to be honest.. sometimes it has been but generally it just is only good for me to inflict pain on myself.
years ago, when i was 20-21, someone knee'd my calf while i was on a fast break going up for a layup, so picture my going up for a layup and at the same time someone's knee collapsing down into my calf.. tore that shit up bad.

Dang man, I'm surprised you were able to have such a productive training session after a level 7 experience...lol level 7 experiences usually get me feeling all negative after the fact. Dang man it's insane that you hit 32s with a 3 step run up ON A RAINY SURFACE!!! mad propz!!!
lol ya i always have better training after level-7 or perceived level-7.. i feel awake/alive all of a sudden, kind of like when i'm peaking for vert, all caff'd up and rested.
thanks man, ya it was some good jumping.. wanted to jump today on cam but calf is still bugging, so ill probably do some light jumps tonight as recovery, then hope tomorrow my calf will be alright... i kind of think it will.
peace!

Article & Video Discussion / Re: cushing 60" what do u think? good? vert estimates
« on: October 01, 2010, 03:02:20 pm »I like how joe defranco worded it "60 inch" jump as opposed to the more accurate title "jump over 60 inch hurdle." Lol that sleezy wording will lure teenagers and unsuspecting jumping/training enthusiasts toward the WS4SB methods or any of Joe's other programs...sadI don't think cushing is good for 40" based on howmuch of the hurdle was leg lift.
it looked like low 30's to me, if that. i mean, if you're 6'3, your hip crease is going to be 40+", so getting 60+ would mean you could barely clear it with a sub 30.
it's still a nice jump, but nothing amazing.
i'm just surprised he can jump single leg, that's impressive:

Sucks about your calf. Have you considered if it might be a compartment syndrome? That would be BAAAD!!
pretty sure it's from the tear i had, koz man, my right calf is fine most of the time during these midfoot runs, and after.. my muscles are so small too, in my posterior lower leg, i just really think it has to do with that tear i suffered.. it was major.. no walking for around 2 months, i can only imagine how bad it actually was in there.. no mri but tons of rehab/stim/massage at a PT place.
hope it's not compartment, but i doubt it..
peace man

RACCOON ...... got alpha'd
ok so i'm crossing this bridge, and then i see something right near me, like ~5-6 feet to the left of me... turns out it's a raccoon, and it's staring at me.. so, i stare back.. then i approach it, making little smoochy sounds.. it's looking at me like some cute little animal, it was a large raccoon, but they look cute.. it didn't hiss or anything.. i was trying to get close while making those sounds.. then it bailed under the bridge...........
then i hear the sounds of brutal murder.. it must have torn something apart, so bad.. i took my ear piece off to listen, it was just horrible screetches and something sounded like it was getting ripped to shreds.

bw = 154
soreness = left calf horrible
aches/injuries = legs dead
fatigue = major
walk: 8 miles
- legs toast.. couldn't even do my light sprints, calfs/quads/everything just felt like i was super glued to the ground.
- saw about 8 cops
this damn calf shit drives me nuts.. it's from my old calf tear which had me in crutches for 2 months, back when i was like 20-21.. it's gastroc and soleus.. it's just so crazy how i can sprint but when i jog mid foot it keeps coming back.. that must mean it's mostly soleus then.. i dno man i dug my fingers into it so hard, basically trying to stick my thumb into my leg.. made it hurt more right after but then actually felt better throughout the day, but it's still shitty.. i can only imagine that there's a shitload of scar tissue that rips when i do this midfoot jog shit.
still, it's driving me nuts.. i hate how i can't fix it... when stuff like this happens i usually go apeshit on it until it's better, or worse.. ive been doing some weird soleus stretch for the last 1 hour, which can bug my ham tendon so i have to be careful.
i just hate this fucking calf tear shit, i hate the idiot who knee'd my calf much more though, that little spaz piece of shit.
peace
