it's not boring & depressing to me.. regardless, athletes do things that are "boring" and things that they "dislike" all the time to get better.

« on: September 06, 2010, 06:24:12 am »fuck, i just tried it once like 5 mins ago, finger on neck.
abt 60 beats for 1 min. damn
a RHR of 60 isn't bad for power athletes btw, though RHR is a good marker for how in condition someone is, people with insane aerobic + anaerobic conditioning don't have high RHR's.. also, if you want to compare to mine, you'd have to lie down for 5 minutes just relaxing then measure, that's how i measure mine.. it's still low regardless of doing that, but say my 42 might have been 48-50 if i just went from standing up to sitting down + measuring.
peace!
Yeah. I just measured mine to 70 sitting at the computer and working.
ah.. it should get lower with some of the stuff we have planned.
Yeah. To be fair, I had just walked up a flight of stairs. But anyways.
that'll skew it for sure hehe!
Yeah. its not helping.
Damn man. Were going to become beastly beasts. Im aiming for the guy bmully posted in the track and field section
ya you got to get on that level, that guy is intense as fuck.
good things to come !@$!@

« on: September 06, 2010, 06:08:47 am »Hey thanks Enzo. My thinking process is to pretty much rest now in the Autumn since there will be raining etc outside... so basically I need to rest as part as my training process if you will (and if I will). I'm training with pretty much no rest at all (consistently) for like 1 year+, maybe it's time to give the body some due respect and let it recover. I could still do core work and maybe some kind of one-leg RDL... pure hip extension, low volumes, just for the sake of it. And upperbody work, bodyweight work (pushups, pullups etc).
Then if I get healthy, and if my injury is overuse-related (it would appear so) - then I might get healthy again. I'm also thinking of switching to low bar squats and I plan on getting into that using box squats first to learn to sit back more...
I have an amalgam of things in my head... I even plan to write an article about the "perfect plan" (yes, pretentious words here) with a thorough analysis of whatever a "perfect" plan should contain from all the standpoints of training (that includes a lot of stuff).
Anyway, regarding the bounds: I think you can still do one-leg consecutive bounds on the left leg... there's nothing that can stop you since the right knee is the injured one... just make sure you're fit enough to do them so you don't injure that too. I'm doing them (I won't from now on) and I'm always thinking "be careful, be focused" when I'm doing them so that I don't get injured.
These were the last ones that I did:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXzpg-ylt9I" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXzpg-ylt9I</a>
raptor, let's say you do rest, if you just do an hour of walking every day for a few months and kept a clean diet, with some bodyweight upper/bodyweight lower (like the rdl stuff/glute bridge/hamstring iso/calf raises), you could get really lean (which was on of your goals) and end up feeling pretty good
i know you've wanted to lean up for quite some time, now would be a good time to do it considering the knee injury.. like always, my mindset is improve something in the face of an injury, there's still plenty of things you can improve while resting to recover from this knee injury.
peace!

ENZO IS FLYIN.
i knew you'd be back, just didn't know when.. but i didn't expect that kind of comeback LOL.. ridiculous.
those dunks were better than any i've seen you do.. well maybe a few from way back were just as good, but these had some serious aggression/passion behind them, so ya these are the best i've seen you do
i love it man! big respect to you for getting everything back on track.
i woke up not wanting to dunk today, but i feel like trying to destroy a rim now hahah.
my yotube comment:
"this video is amazing.. i bow to you.. you are jumping higher than before, look even stronger/more in shape.
raptor mentioned bounds, but remember, keep it simple and don't do any dumb advanced stuff.. whatever you've been doing has been working great..
im seriously impressed.
thanks for the shoutout too..
peace man, really looking forward to your next video."
peace!@$$@!%!@
a lot of replies!
I don't know where to begin from guys!
thanks for the kind words andrew. I've been on a rollercoaster, emotionally speaking, for quite a long time now, overthinking about what I had to do with my knee, staying madly focused on every little message from my body, going mad each and everytime some weird shit happened...when they told me I could play, something in my head switched on.
Bottom line is: I wanted it so bad. It was all about mind over matter for me. And if my mind was strong enough, I owe that to you and all the other guys working hard and motivating me.
ya man i've been in your shoes before quite a few times, i've needed CT scans/MRI's but i didn't have insurance since high school, so i had to eventually come to what you came to.. just get back to work and get healthy, and try to avoid stuff that really bothers it.. that's why i knew you'd be back.. sometimes all of this advanced medical "technology" can actually be detrimental.. i mean, imagine if we didn't have any of this: most injuries we get, we'd have to somehow adapt in order to tolerate or heal up, we wouldn't just roll over and die. you were pretty "depressed" there for a while, but that was more of a period of re-charging for the road ahead that you took, to get back on track and more explosive than before.

Yesterday was my birthday. I couldn't buy myself a better present than that video ahah!.

ya man, you should definitely be proud of that video.. i mean i'm going to sticky this thread because man, so many people go down roads like that and just give up, then find themselves way worse years down the road.

sick workout tonight
9/5/2010
bw = 157
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left heel
workout:
- 7 mile run : didn't time it, but fastest i've run in a long time, i basically kept pace the entire 7 miles and made sure to push the pace when i started thinking about backing down.. alot of it must have been at sub 7 min/mile pace.. started cramping right off the bat for about the first quarter then it disappeared, it had me worried, same spot as last night.
- C1: explosive half squat @ 135 x 1
- C1: partial bar-dips @ BW x 30 <-- felt so light like i was a feather hah
- C1-info: 4 rounds
- SSBAR stepups: 75 lb bar @ 1 x 10 each leg <-- didn't like stepups after all that crap, i have to walk the bar like 20 feet around obstacles too so i dno if im going to do them
- partial neutral grip pullups: BW @ 2 x 15
- partial rom GHR: 4 x 5
- pushups: 3 x 25
done :d
couldn't jump today, my obsession with trying to jump every day is going to kill my heel or make me a beast, the probably of the former happening is pretty high.. heh.. during my run i felt my heel off and on, it's basically bruised from my LR-DLRVJ plant.. hopefully tomorrow it feels good to sprint/jump, the plan is:
(monday)
- sprint
- jump
- 5.2 mi run
- 185 lb half squat + dips
- pullup
- glute bridges + calf raises
and to get an idea of what next day would look like:
(tuesday)
- short sprints
- 3.9 mile run
- work up to a very heavy single + 4 heavy singles
- dips/pullups
- ghr/pushups
trying to go light, moderate, heavy on lifts, while simultaneously going long, moderate, short on distance running.
right piriformis a bit tight.

sick vids yup, devin hester is a freak.. his change of direction/acceleration is insane, his 40 doesn't do him justice.
my favorite kick returner of all time has to be dante hall though: 1:18 in is one of my favorite highlights ever, it's on barry sanders level

devin hester is definitely going to be around ALOT longer though, and just smash the record books.
