Injuries/aches: Left shoulder bugging , its a permanent thing , triggered whenever i go jumping ( sudden hyperextensions ) after a long time.

damn, make sure you warm that shoulder up real good then.. shoulder rotations, maybe 'dislocates' with a rope, shoot around for a bit maybe.. really loosen it up.

Yup , i allways do a good warmup on it , rotations , towel dislocates etc , it will still hurt. Nothing much though , its an age-bonus , as i've posted again you just learn to live with those pains

ahh.. :/

sucks! heh

bw = 152.0
soreness = right hamstring (bad, fascia)
aches/injuries = left knee a little, right lower back a little (from lifting grandpa when he lost balance)
fatigue = high, mental, feel sluggish/tired today

well, rain wrecked my plans of vertec jumps tonight.. then squatting etc.. dno what i'll do tomorrow, might do it tomorrow

workout:
- 1 mile run (midfoot/BOF), trying to beat the rain
- court was wet
- some jumps, hit a possible PR of RL on a wet court, 127", slipped a few times on LR plants so i kept them real light, did some single leg jumps also
- 1 mile run home (midfoot/BOF)
- .75 mile run x 3 (midfoot/BOF)

stretched again tonight, really ripping my hamstring fascia up, but i want it to loosen up/adapt.

would be nice if it was fine tomorrow.

peace

i still cant forget about the evil vicious attack dog... if the dog jumped the fence... i would've jump a 60 inch wall or something! parkour myself to safety!

hahaha.. bro u would have jumped a 60 inch wall and landed right in a pitt of attack dogs!$!@@@@$!@$ i stayed on the street :d

ya man, stuff like that really puts you in fight or flight.. when you are startled like that, that's when you REALLY get that pure fight or flight response, makes you feel amazingly powerful.. i love it, but i don't love the situations

peace!

152 Crazy man. Must feel light as hell when running.

ya i feel crazy light when im not fatigued.. it's a great feeling.

i even step on snails when im running and i barely crack it, happened a few times.. i mean i caught myself landing on it but usually i'd just completely smush them like an elephant.

alright thanks for the tips^^^^

Tuesday: ate low/no carb today since I miss being rly not fat =(, will carb up for squats manyanna

about it, low strength today, but was expected from no carbs. Stimulants seems to work better in a no carb enviorment tho. good to kno. squats and rdl's tomarrow smovlo day 2 excited and piss myself same time thinking about it lol jk.

strength endurance will usually suck on low carb, but maximal strength is usually not effected at all, from my experience.. so something you can rep for 8 on high carb, you might rep for only 4-5 on low carb, but 1RM should be about the same.

and ya, stimulants (caffeine) in low carb environment can really lead to some serious max strength for that day.

nice session & PR!! did your legs feel more bouncy today?

thanks. During tucks they did, more power than bounce.

9-28-10

Ran some sprints ~about 5 or 6. 1.69's and 1.68, last two I got 1.54 and 1.57 WTF, convinced I cheated myself somehow, which is why I did another one after the 1.54 but idk didn't feel like I was doing anything different.

upper body

if ur ever unsure of the sprints, just film a side angle so you can see exactly when you cross the finish.. then you can hand time them on video, stop timing using frames on video, that'll make 1.5's into 1.8's HEH

1.54 no joke!

just a thought, maybe he had a fluke moment..I had some insane jumps when i am super relaxed, like 5-10inches more than normal jump due to being unnaturally calm for no cause

5-10 inches???

I've had that with ~2-3 inches but a 10 inch increase out of the blue from being relaxed.

I'm not attcking you BMully, everyone is different and i just felt like posting the pic

i don't lie, i got super relaxed in a game and almost dunked with 2 hands, head was heigh as hell, this was 8th grade

Yes yes. And I won Mr Olympia. It was just a fluke. Im back to fat now again.

that is a physical change, not possible to do just like that..in times of extreme pressure or extreme relaxation, people can get super human abilities..that is how i grabbed rim as 13year old who could only normally get half way up, this one jump i got rim, then it took a while before i got it legit everytime...the cns is responsible for strength and power, we develope it to allow more, but it is always capable of that power

ya bmully is definitely right about a substantial performance increase, verkhoshansky referred to it as the 'innate (protected) reserves'.. in which access to that strength/force output is restricted, but through years of proper/aggressive training, athletes can keep improving how much they can tap into it at their own will.. i mean, i remember i was jumping shitty say 5 months ago, then that cop pulls me over, and i jumped like 3" higher after alot of fatigue, that wasn't even life or death, but that small adrenaline response/heightened cns arousal lead to some gains..

level-7 = PR city.

True. But claiming a 10" sudden increase is idiotic. Thats like when Rip claimed that crazy crazy sprint time because he saw a spider or something like that. Actually I dont remember if it was Rip, but someone did claim to run a crazy time, faster than world record speed.
