was thinking about starting squatting again, but after that bit of knee pain yesterday, i think i'm gonna hold off for a while longer. what do you guys think about high bar ATG squats vs trap bar deadlifts btw? i know adarq does the quarter pin squats, and the trap bar deadlift seems similar to it.

went to a random outdoor court today to put up some dunks on a rim that i think was 9'8. was wearing my runners, and it was kinda slippery, ended up having a bit of left knee soreness from that session.

« on: August 30, 2016, 12:23:36 am »i see, that sounds good then. i'll probably run no longer than a mile too. it was just the losing weight/muscle thing from the extra cardio that i was concerned with though, but i guess if i wanna run guess i'll have to stuff myself afterwards. also something related, when i was in the 12th grade, it was when i seriously started bulking up, started squatting and sometimes deadlifting, and went from weighing 110 the last year to 160. for gym class, we had to run the 1.5 mile, and i remember absolutely smashing my last year's PR that year. i think that bulking up and having the extra muscle helped even though 1.5 is more long distance.
damn 110 to 160 in 12th grade is either a late growth spurt or alot of needed eating!Quotei also remember having more stamina and energy, and definitely had a lot more power.
nice!
what happened to your vert too? it also go up?
pc!
it was both lol, i used to be a shrimp in my younger years, but started growing steadily from gr.9. i used a mass gainer too, was just dead set on gaining weight. at the end of gr.12, i think i peaked at around 175 lbs at around 5'10.
and yes, even though i ballooned up, my vert improved too. went from barely touching the rim in gr.11 to snapping it easily in gr.12.

« on: August 29, 2016, 01:22:46 am »hmm, been looking at your log and now am interested in sprinting too now, maybe even running.
cool!
just don't go 100% max with sprinting initially.. can really tax your hamstrings.
also with running, don't do crazy volume either to start with..
basically, start slow.. see if you like it. I imagine you'd love sprinting at least. I think it's my favorite activity right now among the 3.
edit: also, if you get into running.. perhaps the most important thing I can tell you is, make sure you have the right socks; non friction. I've had success with new balance non-friction socks. If you wear the wrong socks, you run the risk of wrecking your toes/toenails. (and obviously you want the right size shoes etc).
i see. and okay, also a good thing ive been hitting deadlifts and leg curls hard though. yea, the last time i did sprints was almost 2 years ago now, and i really enjoyed it then. sounds good for the running part. i was more into distance running in my early teens, so i guess i have some experience. i probably won't get too much into it though, cause i dont want it to affect my main goal of 40 inch vert/11 ft touch. currently am 6 ft 150 lbs and just kinda struggling to maintain that cause i dont have much of an appetite. probably when i get older though, have been missing the runner's high for quite a while now lol
