Dynamic warmup, sprint warmup
sprints were slower than usual, 3 1.75's- fuck
24" dj's - first time going over 18" - 4x5 - still weak - 24.5-25.5"- fuck
squat warmup: 135x5 185x3 225x1 245x1- weight felt light, 245 was very easy, feeling good.
squat: 280x4- pinned on 5, not too bad. 270x2- pinned on 3 wtf, do 2 more reps with 245, 245x6- fuck
lunge: 195x3e 185x5e 185x5e- fuck
calf raise: 135x4x5
core circuit x3, because the workout was so shitty.
Fuck.
one of those trademark Arowe horrible-as-fuck workouts out of nowhere. I forget, don't you rebound well out of those? I remember you had some very similar to that, say, being able to rep out 245 x 5 then one day not even hitting it for 1, then a few days later you jumped pretty good/were pretty strong? I kind of remember that happening a few times.. could be wrong though.. ??
peace man
Yea it has happened a few times. It's pretty much always a one time thing though, next workout is back to normal. I might have pr'd after these bad sessions too. Should I do session 1 again or just move on to session 2?
session 2 mang.

« on: September 16, 2010, 05:22:55 pm »his vertical has got to be high no matter what his weight is
i asked a while back, brozknoz guy said it was measured at 30.
I think 30 is not all that bad for a guy that probably never jumps, but I would have expected a little higher VJ still. Shane Hamman for example has been reported to have had a VJ PR of 36", really good in and on itself, but also at a bodyweight of much over 300 lbs. He was also witnessed to do 5 back flips in the OTC right after a heavy single with 804 lbs...
i want to liposuction shane hamman, roid him up so he maintains mass ez, then have him do VJ's for a few months.

Did he ever say what the linebacker jumped? I have seen about 100 people ask but never seen an answer.
never saw anything about it either

off lob.. by the time i tried dribble up dunks my legs were dead, so i only did 2 and went back to lobbing two handers.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: Barefoot running - feet, before & after
« on: September 16, 2010, 05:11:28 pm »is this your own feet or someone else? does it give you an edge when you wear shoes?
it's someone else from "the barefoot runners group" or something.. sv, on this forum, linked me.. he's into barefoot running.
well, i'd imagine it does give you an edge when you wear shoes as your foot is more developed/stronger, but it's more of, it gives you an edge in minimalist shoes, track flats.. and of course barefoot.. it's more of a "hippy hobby", running barefoot :d it also would help to correct a ton of postural/foot related issues i'd imagine.
that transformation took 3 years.
peace!

« on: September 16, 2010, 05:03:44 pm »i dont think the programming was very good. they only 2 max effort attempts per week? wtf is that. also, i didnt see any plyos besides box jumps :/ and didnt see any form of squatting. nontheless, most got pretty good gains. especially this one kid i saw.
i'll check the episodes soon, but from the trailers i saw trap bar, squatting, and lots of reactive work.

Performance Training Blog / Re: STRENGTH / POWER + CONDITIONING COMPLEX : For vertical jump, speed, fitness, etc
« on: September 16, 2010, 05:01:47 pm »Why do you perform complexes involving a higher number of turns when you're squatting at 85-95%, but drop the number of turns (and make the movement more ballistic) when performing complexes in which you use 70-85%?
my reasoning is, the higher number of turns also takes more time, which helps you recover more between lifts @ higher percentage of 1RM.. those turns are less speed too so it leaves you with less fatigue "muscularly", it's more of a cardiovascular fatigue if anything.. the smaller amount of turns is to be done at very high speed so, 100 ballistic turns is alot more intense muscularly with alot more lactic acid.

« on: September 16, 2010, 04:51:28 pm »what yall think? I mean I think it looks like a pretty legit before & after video
http://www.canhedunk.com/Global/Episodes/Default.aspx
good stuff imo.. 10 weeks, a few inch gains on pretty much everyone, i think one guy looked to have gained around 4 or so i forget.. anyway, no INSANE gains, which is truthful.
next step, "canheBTL.com", take those kids to BTL level, now i'd love to see that.. looool.
peace
They got some okay gains although I have to say that I did not find the results impressive. I mean, if you can pick 7 determined players, most 6' and taller (the only two smaller ones, not surprisingly, were not be able to dunk at the end of week 10) , already jumping pretty well for their untrained state, it is not hard to get their strength up considerably in 10 weeks, which will immediately show in their vertical jumps. I found it funny that they said that basketball players are not olympic weightlifters and have to train differently. If you take complete untrained novices and put them in an olympic weightlifting program that actually produces strength gains, a higher vertical jump is exactly what will occur.
So, this was a cool project and the improvements were solid. But I am not surprised or anything about what was done and what has been achieved through it.
i 100% agree.. as usual, well said. Regardless, it's good for the "VJ" world somewhat, something sponsored by nike and it's some small gains, nothing blown out of proportion or embellished. I'm actually going to watch all of the episodes, but just from the trailer, their training didn't look bad at all, heavy lifts, reactive work, etc.

« on: September 16, 2010, 05:15:03 am »
I feel you, when I realized I had to dunk in the dead heat today I said F that, and went to that enclosed outdoor gym with less sleep.. i was damn near falling asleep on the way to that court even after coffee+milk + monster energy, but i'd rather dunk under those conditions than in 95 F humid sun, woulda been horrible.
pc
Wasn't even a dunk session in the sun , it was team practice at our standard indoor court. Problem is that its a cheap building , walls made of those metal-sheets , no air condition , no ventilation system , nothing. So when its hot outside and the sun burns it all day , it becomes like a greenhouse , or like a sauna inside.
right, i was thinking you wanted to do some nice jumps today, that's what i meant.. bro you play basketball in a toaster oven.

Anyway , i was hoping to have a mini peak yesterday , and i did have that springy powerful feeling warming up , but it never happened as explained. Bleh , whatever...
ya I feel you, hate when that happens :/
