nice vid.. t-dub is my favorite power dunker, without a doubt.

Short rim, obviously. The promoters have every reason to let the dunkers do the most ridiculous shit possible. Ergo, a 9'6" or 9'8" rim.

i agree that the rims are low, 9'8 at lowest but probably around 9'10.. everyone gets way higher on those rims, and they look damn low.

but i have no doubt t-dub can hit his head on a legit 10' on his best jump... too much footage of him getting that high on so many rims.

Agreed , id go for 9'9'' to 9'10''
And i do agree T-Dub can get 51'' to get his head at rim consistently.
This one was just pushing it too much , and i hate the 10' label the rim has on it , its like its saying "please , believe me , im 10'... i may look lower but im telling you , im 10..."

hah ya..

BW = 157 <-- making my move towards 150 or so now.. stagnated at 157 for too long

soreness: none
aches: hamstring tendons, both bicep femoris tendons GAH, from the maximal ghr eccentrics
injuries: none
diet: milk post workout-1, burger + fries + desert, milk/bananas post workout-2


workout #1:
- flying in track flats.. 1-step RVJ 32, full run up RVJ 33 or so, no lob, FORGOT to mention, PR'd RL plant, like 125" or so
- self lob dunks sucked, timing off
- MR tuck jumps: 4 x 10, 1 x 40, real good bounce
- stiff leg ankle hops: not as stiff as i wanted but ok.. 4 x 5

workout #2:
- ~3 mile walk with interval sprints in between - speed felt great
- 1 mile jog home
- chinups: 15, 10, 8
- dips: 10


gonna pull some vid off my cam now..

peace!



not bad for in a very intense GPP !

I just thought that quote was funny. Alan Aragon making fun of "clean" vs. "dirty" carbs. Guess it's just me haha.

ya i think that one is on you.. though, you may find this hilarious, i did:

why is his back hand straight? i was always told to keep it at 90degrees, but i know it is a great relfex when you put it back like that

would doing this increase my start?

well 90 degrees would be more for the rest of the sprint where leg turn over happens too fast to use any kind of arm motion like he's doing here.. so it's mostly for coming out of the blocks, since alot of strength is required to come out of the blocks, that extra elbow + shoulder extension helps more forcefully extend the opposite leg.. try it out, just use it on the first step, see how it feels, it should give you more pop coming out of the blocks IMO.

Pacquiao > Bradley

Bradley would put up a better fight than cotto, dlh, and hatton combined.

stepoff.

I'm pretty sure no other white dude has done it, at least in competition. The people over at CF were also talking about this as the first time and some of them have been around elite track for a long time.

yup, it for sure never happened, at least not in official meets..

this is pretty big for the whiteys.

ah, i forgot you were mulligan! welcome to the forum man..

i was 147 or so, weak as dog shit by junior year of college.. you really aren't "weak", based on how early you've started training.. sure you might not be naturally extremely explosive, but through proper training people won't even realize that a few years down the road. I wish I started around your age, but I had absolutely no guidance.

congrats on the PR, it took me 1.5 years to hit 1.5xBW on my squat, if that gives you an idea of how weak I was (am)..

what are some of your track numbers? max velocity sprinting might be the best thing any human can do, it is one of the most essential aspects of "being human".. without it, man o man do people stay weak.. max V will develop so many motor qualities (recruitment of fast twitch mu's), muscle groups (glutes/hamstrings/quads/calfs/core/shoulders), and is a very strong anabolic stimulus.. until the age of 26 or so, I can't even recall ever actually running MAX velocity.. being a basketball player, it's something we never were able to do, since we were on the court all of the time.

so ya man just keep progressing your strength as you are doing, working on all kinds of movements out on the track/court/etc, staying in great shape, and everything will come together.

Yea man i love to just go outside and run 100m! fun as shit and I am getting so much faster
I ran a crappy 12.3 FAT during this season but i am pretty confident i am at 11.8seconds in the 100m now
and i love the 200m but it's long, i ran that at 24.8 FAT But hopefully i downed that to 24.5 now
400m was at 55seconds but i hate that race more than anything I don't even care about lowering that time

i know i must have increased my times because i increased my squat
I am weak but i am pretty sure i use alot of my relative strength in reactive, u know? like the VJB guy said tath you can use a % of your strength when you jump I think i use a high % but i am so weak it does'snt do anything haha

^ hope you can understand me

ya i understand you well.. you're using whatever strength you do have, very efficiently

nice man, 400's are crazy shit but that's still not bad considering you hate it

anywayevery time i spritn it seems like i increased my squat-go figure

peace-like saying that haha

ya sprinting is actually a very good precursor to squatting, and vice-versa (squat low volume / moderate/high intensity in morning, sprint at night or next day).

peace man

nice, hand time is crap but still they always hand time it in high school

i got 4.8 and was pissed but 4.29 seems pretty beast

nice man 4.8 aint bad..

this guy was drafted or signed to the baltimore ravens or something, then he got hurt.. he's a monster, ill try to find his training journal from way back on charlie francis forum.
