Was the two hander of a lob or of the run? 2 hander of the run would be cool.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 :/

peace man!

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.. ??

Yeah you'll get some sweet ones man. Definitely have the pop. That one in the pic above must have been a make though right? Maybe soft but still a make?

hope so! should be good though, i always jump my best at night.. and if im tired during the day prior i can just take a nap :D

nope, it rimmed out.. basically went inside the damn hoop then flew out.. about 4 like that then the other 2 or so were way off.. i was actually surprised none of them went in, they all felt good.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: September 16, 2010, 05:01:56 am »
From earlier this week.

The details of the first half of the dream are vague, but I know that in general I was with a group where people kept dying or suffering weird puncture-type wounds (including me). Very much a horror-movie feel, like, "Who's the killer?" So we were trying to figure it out and we ended up in this creepy old house owned, apparently, by the receptionist in my office. She's a fat middle-aged lady, perfectly nice as far as I can tell although I don't interact with her much. We had some theory about why the source of the evil would be in this house so she let us in so we could look around. We were snooping and opening and doors and whatnot and then someone opened a door to the basement and thousands of bats started flying out and swarming around. "Aha!" we thought. "That makes sense...bats!" And then a little creature that looked like an ewok but which in the dream was clearly called a hobbit walked out and started coming toward us. It seemed about ewok-sized as it came out the door but as it moved toward us it got smaller and smaller until finally it was about 4 or 5 inches tall.

We were satisfied with the bat answer but then we turned around and the receptionist-lady (Sharon) was standing there, kind of looming, and started to make some speech about how foolish we were and her powers and her teeth got real long and sharp and she turned bright red and she was smiling very creepily.

Then I woke up.

Then later, as I was remembering the dream, I began to realize that there were all kinds of very cinematic touches here and there foreshadowing the fact that Sharon was the evil thing. For example, there was a "shot" while we were snooping around in which she could be seen in the kitchen in the background, kind of out of focus, putting live frogs into a pot and kind of smiling.

pretty cool, you recalled & restated that dream very well.. you should follow her after work (IRL) and see what she's upto, could have been a telekenetic dream.

i havn't been "trying" to remember my dreams lately, which is kind of odd.. it's kind of interesting though, i have this hunch that when i do interval walks with short sprints mixed in, that's when i have really insane dreams.. i really havn't been doing any interval sprints lately during my walks, and i can't even recall any of my recent dreams, nothing "crazy" comes to mind.. when im interval sprinting during my walks, it's almost like i'm being chased/chasing something.
