Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: doping in sport -- interesting post
« on: September 08, 2010, 04:46:24 pm »
well i must say, that was very well put.. i'm very much anti-PED's in competition, but I also realize that creates the situation of "never having a level playing field", due to some people sneaking by during testing etc. His health-issues concern makes sense, but then in the same sense, if PED's were legal, athletes would still do as much (or more) harm by irresponsibly using these drugs... not all, but a high percentage would, I imagine.

very difficult issue heh.

everyone should be required to eat nothing but pop-tarts, and train using nothing but iso extremes & their sport specific event, then we could figure out who is the true #1.

interesting info, i need to get a battery for my heart rate monitor.. it's interesting how tiring MR tuck's are.. i mean, they really kill everyone.. i feel more tired doing 10-15 MAX tuck jumps than if i did a 60-80 yard sprint etc.. so your data seems to fit how I feel also.

hahaha. good point. When I was in high school me and a friend of mine both bought a pair of strength shoes and did plyos in them.  I remember the workouts called for a TON of tuck jumps, like 4 sets of 20. The first workout I nearly passed out doing them and he lost his lunch.



haha nice.. you ever puke during training? I sort of puked once, but I had basically eaten a massive lunch then performed some seriously high rep squatting, came up a bit.. other than that, never puked.

Basketball training

Aches/injuries : right hip bugging a bit , 1/5
Soreness: Glutes , quads and abductors , 2/5

Training went good , had good breaths and also had that "pop" , got some blocks and steals that i usually don't make because i delay from thinking to doing. "pop" = no lag between think and do.
Did only 1 rim jump at the end , exhausted , all leg muscles burning , also was awfully hot and lost tons of sweat. I got 10'6'' ( 31'' ) off 1 step , good shit!


nice! how many games you play?

ya i occasionally frequent both of those sites, beastskills is real nice.. LBSS actually knows the guy who runs it i think.

True. Jimmy's a great dude. Super friendly, helped me a TON with my squat, DL and bench form a while back and got me into the whole trigger point thing. When he's bored in between client training sessions he does one-arm handstands or kip-free muscle-ups on the pull up bar. He got voted best personal trainer in DC this year, too (in the City Paper, I think, or maybe the Washingtonian).

What I'm saying is, I want to be like Jimmy when I grow up, but with better hops.

I've seen a video of him doing windmills, or w/e that breakdance move is called, then grabbing rim double handed.

Pretty decent hops for the kind of upper body development he's got.   :D


url?

I did this before, actually I'm in that phase where you're getting back to normal sleep again. Definitely was weird, I think my personality changed and I was really tired all the time. -It's hard to get back to normal when you've done this for like half a year. I loved those naps, felt really good, especially in class. My family hated me though and they always screamed like bitches lol.

i am amazed that two people have done this on this forum.. i never thought i'd run into anyone who has tried that.

haha..

what made you want to try that out? how did you come across it?

i was just looking at the jumps again, and one of the pictures i didn't include was this one.. which i realized is pretty high, considering my arm is bent forward as far as it is with wrist still over rim.. this jump has me happy :D

Basketball / Re: haneef munir young hollywood keeps kissing the rim

just timed his kiss-the-rim jump in AE, 30 frames.

so ya, regardless of rim height, that is flying.

« on: September 08, 2010, 04:16:30 am »
is it a bit low or what? possibly.. still he flys

Probably a couple of inches.
They're also kinda admitting it , because at 5'10'' he needs 50'' to barely touch head at rim. He gets his head way above it in that jump so they would claim more.
If i had to guess , id say that's in the ~9'10'' area and his jump in the ~52'' area.

Sick stuff as always from haneef , i love how he floats...

ya i agree.. i love how he jumps too, shit is ridiculous.. looks way diff than t-dub/gc, finally raptor/djoe can truly point out "relaxation", cause that's the vibe you get from his jumping hah.

That's way tight!

Actually, this is an addition to Phase III Day 23: Lift tons of heavy gymnastics equipment off a big truck and move into leased building for my friend's brother's new gym. (Which will open Monday, and I might just end up going once in a while)

awesome, if i had access to a gymnastics gym you bet your life i'd be in there.. i love all that stuff those guys do but i'd need some foam pitts / spring mats to get comfortable with, can't bring myself to try that stuff on grass !

sounds like fun
