« on: August 16, 2010, 05:19:13 am »I'M BACK!
Ok , so last activity was dunk session of 26 July.
That makes it 21 days of absolutely no training!
Not even bodyweight stuff , not even some light jog , nothing.
Its all cool , some mental/physical recharging is never too bad...
New season starts , gotta get to 37'' to beat my age!
2,5'' in 12 months...
And then i already have the new challenge ready: 40-by-40... 40'' by the time i reach 40 years old.
Tomorrow = body measurements + jump testing.
Next day = back to gym.
GO GET IT!!!
welcome back
curious to see how testing goes..
cya!

« on: August 16, 2010, 04:25:26 am »Haha man since box squatting my ankle mobility has gone to shit. Well that and severe ankle injuries. My heavy squats are very similar to your pics (maybe a tad lower). But yesterday on my lighter squats for volume, my mobility's coming back already. Was hitting just above parallel with just wider than hip width stance.
nice that it's coming back..
Quote
Either way, as you've harped on before, those squats seem more suited to being athletic anyway.
ya and it keeps my hip from feeling like shit, so i'll stick with it.. i felt a bit deeper than i was so that bugs me, but ill keep working on that ROM.. i was literally about to pass out, so i'm also happy that i even got 205 @ 3 x 5 feeling that crappy hah.. alot of people end up getting hip injuries when pushing deep squatting while doing alot of jumping/sprinting etc.. i mean i've seen it on a ton of forums, so it's something people need to be aware of.. but ya i like half squatting.
1.5 hours after the session i went to go drink soda & eat philly cheese steaks, i drank 4 pink lemonades, 1 diet pepsi, and 1 birch beer.. all in like a big 16+ ounce cup.. i was so dehydrated..
peace

« on: August 15, 2010, 03:07:05 pm »He'll prolly die this summer doing stuff like that ???. I really like his basketball videos but hiring that "fitness expert"to be his trainer, that's a no-no
you subbed to him? ya he's cool but here's his problem.. he tries to put out videos EVERY DAY, so i mean, you have to put out alot of "new shit", so that dumb trainer basically makes up new drills every day.. i guarantee you dreupt has not gained much in vert/speed or any of that.. he probably gained on conditioning, his "plyometric sessions" look like puke circuits.
live this summer or die this summer.

« on: August 15, 2010, 06:15:37 am »It's interesting that you haven't included the 1-leg RDL as a strength exercise. I feel like my glutes work very well using it, and it's one of my favorite exercises.
ya it could be added, as could anything people find effective, but i'm not big on it though.

« on: August 15, 2010, 04:34:17 am »i just wanna say that distance won't help much for sprints and vertical..if you are trying to gain strength and what not, then distance will prolly make that harder 2
you either gotta go for one or the other imo...i mean you can do both but being a beast at both is super hard work..props if you do it though
right but i'm trying to accomplish both.. i have to train more like a 400 guy to be able to achieve everything, that's for sure.
anyway, if i do these things i'll be fine, since soccer plays run a ton during practice/games, but also get sprints in, they are actually good at both:
- get my squat up relative to my weight
- improve my ghr's
- alternate distance work with speed work
- jump nearly every day, maximally 1-2x/week
- get bodyfat way down
if i do that, i'll be able to achieve everything..Quoteyea, there are rarely any meets once you find one you gotta think about going 2 it cuz there are so few in the off-season...
ya.. i can't do that sep 4 5k anymore either, dad has tennis tournament, hehe.
it's all good, i got a stopwatch.

usain bolt doesn't do marathons he he lol
yea, i meant the track 1's distance races happen all time
what is your squat right now? estimated max..and you BW is 160
no idea about my squat max right now, i'm taking it slow.. my legs are strong but i'm taking caution for my back, it's the weak link right now.. tomorrow i should be hitting 205 @ 3 x 5, i hit an ez single with 225.. so..
i'd imagine tomorrow i'll be about 159 too.. my BW should be going down to at least 155 within the next 3-4 weeks.

Crazy Weird Analysis & Stuff :) / Re: Leg/Foot Mechanics: Middle-Long Distance
« on: August 15, 2010, 04:04:01 am »i run a little too much on my toes..well i am more of a sprinter than distance runner now..so i do not even fell my heel when i sprint...is this bad or wrong? i have seen that video of asafa in slow mo and i think that maybe i should land a little bit flatter but still on the ball of my feet, then plantar flex
well when it comes to sprinting, you're definitely going to be on your toes alot when you have forward lean, ie acceleration.. once you reach max V, you should be pawing the ground with mid-foot..
as far as distance running goes, many schools of thought on that one.. i'm glad i switched to mid-foot for distance but it's definitely taken a long time to get used to, and even now i'm still not 100% adapted to it.. i will be one day i know that for sure.. but i definitely feel more springy running distance on mid-foot.. that spring dies as i fatigue in the calfs though.. so once my calfs are stronger, i'll have that spring for the entire run... i don't like heel->toe for distance, i mean, if you ran barefoot you wouldn't be running heel->toe.. i'm talking a major heel strike here though, not just a light brushing of the heel while in flight, i'm talking about a weightbearing strike.. that shit is not good imo.
peace!
