if you get fouled, it doesnt count as a Field goal attempt.

thanks lbss :)

Yep, for some reason I momentarily forgot the rules of basketball when posting that comment. Chalk it up to a brain fart.

MUSiC anD SHeeT! / Re: Some piano stuff for you guys

I think Nabokov's point was that his brain was completely incapable of appreciating the structure. It just had absolutely no effect on him whatsoever.

he was a tard then.

you know what's cool, people whose brains have the auditory and visual centers that "share" the same pathways.. they end up hearing sounds/instruments and seeing colors/splashes of colors/objects.. shit is like a non-stop adobe after effects video.. i can see how it would get annoying but for the most part, that sounds pretty badass.

Hey, that's great! Do you think this has influenced yourself in terms of taste of music or appreciation of the arts?

well yeah, but not in some kind of structured appreciative way.. I don't just put music on, listen to it, and appreciate all of the subtleties about it. I have my own style I guess, I like to listen to classical when I'm training, walking, etc.

I think it helped me gain a respect for alot of music that my generation doesn't normally have any interest in, that's for sure.. My dad is big into jazz but I'm more into blues. I don't like brass instruments for the most part, I really hate saxophones with a passion, I think they turn every song into some kind of elevator music love song. Trumpets I can stand if it's something like miles davis, but it has to go hard.

My favorite instrument has to be violin.. I am obsessed with violin.. Most of my classical songs on my ipod are heavily violin based. I don't really know the names to any songs, hardly any rap songs either, I just listen to stuff and know it by feel.. When I played piano, I memorized each song I had to play and never read the music after that, so I guess that's how that works. My dad had taught me piano for years growing up until about 12 or so, but you know how that goes when you're a kid that wants to go hoop it up rather than play piano, didn't end good, he finally let me just do my own thing.

He'd be surprised though if he knew how much I listen to classical and stuff like that.. he just thinks I listen to rap heh.. He doesn't have much of an appreciation for rap, which is odd, considering most people into "the arts" lack an appreciation for jazz, especially the older generations, like my grandpa etc.. Rap is a child of jazz, and plenty of rap is still directly rooted in jazz.

If you're into jazz, this is actually a CD made for his friend who was killed by a bouncer, some bass guitar legend Jaco Pastorius:

http://www.adarq.org/forum/music-and-sheet/jazz/

It's just piano, drums, and bass guitar... some of it hits pretty hard it's cool.. mostly all improvised i guess too, even though they had a general idea of what they were going to play..

I always wondered what my life would have been like growing up in a really musical environment... I only acquired a serious interest in music in my mid to late teens unfortunately...

damn, perhaps though you might have developed less of a taste had you not found it for yourself! you never know..

maybe I will start a violin thread eventually, and put some really intense violin solos in there :D

peace man

WTF , freak of nature!
I read in youtube comments that he hasnt even lifted?
And how about that jump in the beginning , he takes just one step and gets heels to chest height. That would be 45+ without even trying! Shit...

ya man.. it leaves you with a sick feeling in your stomach like "what if", you know? what if he stuck to it and had proper guidance..

that jump is so ridiculous hehe.

 ;D

awesome man.. appreciate it.. more to come i expect.. i'll look in my book for that data it had regarding all types of athletes & strength/vj/broad jump etc numbers.. i know i have it somewhere.

i'm off to sleep man!

Video Views: 399,043 <-- almost at 400,000 views on youtube, WORD!




165 lb before workout, I ate ALOT :F

7/25/2010

bw = 161
soreness = glutes still
aches/injuries = felt pretty good

workout:
- nice warmup, warmup sprints
- ~30 yard sprints x 8
-- ^^ focused on a few different things.. think i went a bit faster.. i focused on how i ran when I got chased by a bunch of gang members when I was young.. i smoked my friend who was a beast in sprinting/jumping in grade 6.. level-7'd but I've always remembered how I ran that day, so I'm going to work on it a bit and see if it has any effect.
-- ^^ hamstrings were toast using this technique change..

- C1: 135 squat singles : 6 x 1
- C1: 20 lb bar jump squat onto 16" box, go lower than comfortable on descent,  land as stiff legged as possible : 6 x 2

- natural GHR: 3 x 5 partials, then 3 x 2 (low as i can go then back up, then try to descend all the way down eccentric)

done.. hamstrings feel pretty toastEd.

peace

Vid of GHR!!

ya i will eventually, it's pretty pathetic right now though.

Chased by gangmembers. Thats the difference in our lives. Most dangerous thing I ever ran from was the rain.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Measurements
« on: July 26, 2010, 03:56:28 am »
What do you use to measure? And do you do it yourself? Flexed or unflexed?

i use some tape measurer, not a metal ribbon one, some flexible ribbon one.. works well. you could use some kind of string, then measure that (the string will conform nice to the circumference).

measure unflexed :D

Only vid I could find. He does some hops in it that are crazy springy and you can tell he's not even trying that hard. He looks like he shot out of a cannon at the start and his reaction time is insane.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3529838

sick, ill have a vid up on my youtube in a little bit which has his record run etc.. that vid had disappeared for a while, found the link through your link.

word thanks!

Actually on the standing broad jump test I have had several long/triple jumpers do really well, mainly due to the fact that they are so much better at landing mechanics and stay in the air longer than the football/basketball athletes.  (eg hitch kick mechanics etc.) But yea, the actual power production is not as high, they are just better at the test, just like the football guys I have who have mastered the 40yd dash techniques and beat some of the sprinters at the 40, when in reality the sprinters are usually faster (even at the 40) they just arent as good at the skills of the test yet.  After mastering the start and other 40yd specific techniques, they usually dominate the football guys.

really good point about the landing mechanics of the broad jump for long jumpers/triple jumpers.

i for example, have really bad landings on broad jump, way too high & feet too close to my COG..

20007
my broad jump is < 100" if i don't train it.. it can get to around 104" when I start training it.

pretty bad yup.

maybe you should train it

but are there any correlation between broad jump and long jump?

broad jump is too hard on my knees, for me to train it all the time.. if i do say 3-4 x 5 and land deep, I don't like the aches I get.. i just have to get more powerful in the glutes/hams and just let that strength transfer over without training it..

I prefer double leg bounds for distance, it adds that reactive component which I love so much :)

well, long jump is so reactive that I see the correlation being low... I could definitely see a bunch of those top long jumpers having pretty shitty broad jumps when compared to say, and NFL db.


so just like standing jump and running vertical jump....i think people like in TFB have insane running but could have crappy standing right??

yup, pretty similar.. i would imagine most long jumpers have crappy standing broad jumps, just like most high jumpers have crappy standing vertical jumps.

only guy on TFB with a good standing vert would be troy mccray, everyone else relies on fast runups.. yup.
