filmed another park today


9/22/2010

bw = 154
soreness = hamstrings (alot still)
aches/injuries = parts of feet

workout #1: video taping a park (lol) & dribble up dunks
- video taping took 45 mins walking around etc
- dribble up dunks x ~20 or so, missed all of them but had some hard throw downs, nothing went in.. i got ~128-129" off 2 steps today on the jumps before, which was good considering the soreness.

workout #2:
- MR tuck jumps: 5 x 10
- MR bounds: 5 x 10 (furthest was 75 feet (my feet) total)
- MR pogo's: 10 x 5 (felt good, glutes started kicking in hard)
- paused pin squat singles: pin 11: 285 @ 12 singles, 225 @ 1 x 5
- 10sec paused pin squat: 225 @ 1 x 6
- barbell calf raise: 155 @ 16,15   135 @ 1 x 20,   95 @ 1 x 35
- pullup hang to stretch lats/back/decompress

workout #3: watching tv/forum'n
- glute bridges: alot


this happened on like ALL of my dribble ups, so odd, i rise off one foot first..




peace

legit one-armed pushups? damn, kid, that's pretty sweet, esp at your size.

Ha, yeah. Legit. When I was recovering from my injury I started reading The Naked Warrior by Pavel. I read about the philosophy behind just one limbed exercises  for strength gain and it made sense. At first my left arm could barely manage 2.... while holding a chair. I built up to full one-armed and flat on the ground as I recovered and got stronger. Now I do them all the time just to show off or for maintenance.

I wish you could have seen the difference in size between my left and right when I started. After atrophy my left arm was probably about 2 inches smaller than my right. I wish I had taken some pictures....

hard work status ^^^

that's like when i broke my right arm for the second time, i learned to shoot jumpers lefty.. take a bad situation and make it positive :d

nice

how is anyone meant to be a certain weight??

bone structure, genetics, etc.. i could eat the same as someone else my height, but they have more favorable genetics for putting on mass etc, and i'd be 147 they'd look like a 185-205 beast etc.. i'd imagine my issue is 'myostatin' related, like if i really had someone dissect my dna.. right now i'm eating light/clean, which is still alot, but once im 145 or so i'd be able to eat massive amounts of food without gaining any weight, that's how it was growing up (16-24) or so, before i went through crazy bulk (lower activity, insane amounts of peanutbutter/bread/milk etc).

145 lbs???!!!

andrew man...

you want to be kadour ziani?!!

i think thats his weight class...

ya kinda... haha.. kadour/combest, extremely light, extremely strong/powerful, jump very high :d

i'm getting as light as possible because i'm MEANT to be such a low weight... everything i do to go above 145-150 is a "challenge", it's out of the norm.. but i kept at it for 2 years so i went high above my normal weight, i reached 180 last year during high rep squatting etc.. then went back down to 165-170 so fast..

so ya, im just becoming my 'natural weight'



peace man

Yup , wanted to post that but as soon as i saw you have already commented in youtube i was sure you'd post it!
That 2 hander looking down the rim is     

ya man, i knew either you or I would post it.. this has basically become darlington's fan club thread.. darlington's thread on here is insane.. guy is flying hhaah

welcome back

Well, they are useful up to a certain extent, nearly as useful as repeated standing vertical jumps, but with less of a training effect due to the encouragement of incomplete hip extension to hurry and pull the feet up, and the extremely low eccentric landing forces.  You can watch video after video of people performing high box jumps, and more times than not, they are pulling the knees up before they reach complete triple extension.  But if someone were to want to work on rfd with low impact forces, teach landing skills at a low level, etc. they can be beneficial.  They are not a valid test of jumping ability in any way, and very low eccentric forces involved make them a lower intensity training technique.  

  The issue I have with box jumps is when people are jumping on extremely high boxes, believing they are training their jumping ability, when in reality they could cut the box height in half, step off it and do a depth jump, and get 100000000000 times the training effect they are looking for.
