8/16/2010
just turned 28 today.. lolololol
bw = 160
soreness = calfs (alot), hamstrings (alot)
aches/injuries = left hamstring tendons a bit (from stretching out calfs, bleh)
rained so bad, gotta get it off my vid cam, was flooading so bad.. anyway went to the courts by 9pm and they actually were dry but tons of people on them..
workout #1: dunks
- like 5 dunk attempts, max jump around 33, weak
workout #2: 3.9 mile jog = 29:32
- 1.3 mile = 9:10 = 9:10 = 7:03 minutes per mile
- 2.6 mile = 19:20 = 10:10 = 7:49 minutes per mile
- 3.9 mile = 29:32 = 10:12 = 7:50 minutes per mile
^^^^ i ran that more heel->toe than normal.. felt alot more comfortable eheh.. calfs were not dying one bit, felt great.. cramping on third leg..
^^^^ compared to last session:
tmw im probably going to run 200's, jump, and 1.3 mile sprint.. maybe ghr too dno.
peace

Performance Training Blog / Re: The Single Leg Jumper's Toolbox: Part 1, 2, & 3
« on: August 16, 2010, 07:23:28 pm »long read but great!
so i would put myself in level 2..am i right? u seen my videos
level-2 movement efficiency for sure, intermediate lifting.. it's not uncommon to spend a long time at those levels though, that's for sure.. alot of work has to be done in those levels.

« on: August 16, 2010, 07:21:48 pm »dang...so a whole adarqui program has 5 phases...this is pretty G...i like this
so where do i get the workouts for each part?
well this is just the concept article, people like vag etc have been using this technique pretty effectively.. it's all custom stuff.. right now you're pretty busy with football though, so strength maintenance/stim is really your concern.

x2
Too bad us people who live in the UK have to wait a little longer
ah.. damn that sucks.. just re-watch rambo in the meantime..
rambo is so epic.. i mean i like rambo better than this movie, for sure, but this movie is good nonetheless... nothing beats that last rambo though, that was so grimey/real..
bow and arrow scene, rip throat out scene, pirates hijacking boat scene, freakin machine gun on top of truck scene at the end.. ridiculous.. rambo is a 10/10.

« on: August 16, 2010, 05:40:25 pm »haha, then thats worse!
if everything looks fine and dandy, im still not getting up enough!
LOL!
touch - reach :/ heheheh
i mean that's the best way to come up with a number.. so if you knew how high that rim was, you'd have your answer.. but it does look a little high for sure.. it comes off as like a 10'2 or something from eyeing it based on your height etc.. dno..
it just gives off a 'high rim vibe' hehe

« on: August 16, 2010, 05:29:41 pm »im still pissed i cant get a fast runup into my DLRVJ.
i mean, one in which i am actually accelerating fully into the jump :/
say adarq, should i do like u do? squat halfway, with feet pointing more towards the front?
nah your squat is good.. your jump isn't bad man, it looks good.

ya i agree.. occipito-pelvic reflex, hyperextending the neck can hyperextend the low back.. i like back to be pretty neutral on squat.
but squats looked good, nice power on each rep.
how were those jumps? how high did you touch on rim ?
peace!
wtf is an octopus-pelvis reflex lol!
lol.. ocipito-pelvic-reflex, hyperextend neck = hyperextend back.

the rim is one of the highest i've seen, never touched it before. half of my first joint only haha!
ya.. dno, but it definitely looks like it might be above 10'.. so if it is, no idea.. but the jump does look a bit low.

What i can do, you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/user/KingzMJ . I'm currently on a quest for an 8 meters long jump, a 360 between the legs, and going as high as i can over an 11 feet rim

16 August 2010
Vertical jump testing.
Weight at session : ~185
Jumping on concrete , 10' rim.
Was awfully hot again today , at 10pm that i came back home the local meteo station says temperature : 90'F / feels like :100'F
The burning concrete made it even worse , car's thermometer showed 95'F at court...
10' dynamic warmup , 2x10 sec DL line hops , bunch of low-mid effort jumps.
1x4 SVJs : 26'' to 27'' , one jump at 27,5''
1x4 dropstep DLRVJs : 30'' to 31''
1x4 1-step DLRVJs : 31'' to 32''
1x4 2-step DLRVJs : 32'' to 32,5'' , one jump at 33''
2x3 full runup DLRVJs : 30'' to 31'' , WTF?
Im guessing this dropoff was because of the heat. After seeing i cant get higher at full runup jumps i retried a few 1/2-step jumps , those were 30'' to 31'' too so i stopped.
Not bad at all , of course i didn't feel as powerful and explosive as 20 days ago but all jumps were much more fluid and high than what i expected.
definitely not bad considering the heat + detraining period.. good stuff.

« on: August 16, 2010, 05:04:17 pm »
i dreamed i was someone else.... some like, fat computer tech guy.. very odd.. i was going through some land where sharks and shit lived on the land, floating around.. so i was traversing that landscape for a while.. then we're in a casino, me and my co-worker, then it kind of turns into the red light district, then there were more sharks floating around in that casino/hotel.. then i woke up in the dream as myself video taping my workout yesterday, but video taping pullups/dips, which i didn't do..
then i woke up.
wtf?
then i woke up.
wtf?

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: August 16, 2010, 05:02:22 pm »lately iv been waking up and not remembering any dreams. (as usual) strangely, parts of dreams comeback to me in flashes in random parts of the day. for example, i was walking when i remembered a part of my dream in which i was eating an apple. but the pieces of the dream that flash back to me are not related.
today, i did remember my dream. it was in a world where gov security/crimefighting was so strong. i kept witnessing people getting caught in random stores. then, it flashed to where i was the one being chased by gov. i was hiding in this really good spot in someone's garden. completely hidden in the front and sides by plants, and behind me there was a wooden fence that enclosed me in a half circle. somehow, the government found me but i did not see them. they were on the other side of the wall. they told me to get out but i figured it was impossible to see me. ( which it was) then, they somehow made the fence behind me go into thin air, and shot me in the head. i was dead.
sounds like a futuristic big-brother takeover, something out of v for vendetta..
very cool dream except for the being shot part.

« on: August 16, 2010, 04:56:31 pm »Pictures looking good for a half-squat! Only thing I don't understand is why you like your feet pointing forward vs. slightly out. Any particular reason for that?
thnx mang..
well ya they are actually slightly out in these pictures.. i used to point them completely forward, neutral, but i can't get as deep as in those pictures, in waffles, if i do that.. so i started pointing them out slightly.. when i keep my feet neutral and use oly shoes, i can get alot deeper, but with waffles i cant so.
i like feet neutral because it increases specificity to jumping.. i mean i only squat to jump higher, so, whatever transfers higher i'll use that, and i found that half squatting + feet neutral gave me the most transfer, and less injuries (hip).. i think always pointing feet out gave me some major external hip rotation issues.
