« on: July 05, 2010, 06:11:34 pm »i felt ok, but the vert was nothing to write home about haha.
was jumping in my gym shoes, some nike frees, so it affected my plant abit. i think i gotta show u guys some film or something, i think the plant or runup needs some tweaking, i have a feeling its kinda a sticking point now...
the first set of the squats felt tough.
well make sure you jump in the same shoes all the time.. changing shoes definitely impacts how you plant!

Weight@session: ~194,5
PEAK BLOCK , Workout 'A'
Depth Jumps : skipped because of yesterday's dunks
SQUATS , MSEM , rest between reps ~45'' , rest between sets ~4':
3x1@231 , parallel
3x1@264 , 2-3'' above parallel, hip hurts if i go deeper with heavy load.
264 should be somewhere around 85% 1RM
BSS , MSEM , rest between reps ~30'' , rest between sets ~4':
2x1@242 , PR , previous was 231
2x1@264
SHOCKED!!! 264??? Did them in good form too , free knee touching floor!
CALVE RAISES:
3x12@374
Rest between sets = 1'
congrats on another pr lol.. your bss has blown up.
what's up with the hip? so many people getting hip pain from squatting deep, blah!
Thanks man!
I don't know whats wrong with it , i mentioned it long time ago.
It seems pretty similar to Spike's thing , also yours from last year
3'' above felt nice though , gonna keep it like that and see how it goes...
ya :/ adam from TVS too.. and a few other people.. adam's form was damn near perfect too.
squatting above parallel definitely helped it.. it would flare up rarely but usually other stuff would contribute to that.. if i went below parallel even by an inch it would flare up instantly, so above parallel became my savior, that and unilaterals.
peace man

« on: July 05, 2010, 05:45:22 pm »A couple nights ago I had a dream where I was talking with Mark Sisson* on the beach. He was wearing board shorts. He kept saying the dumbest shit, just repeating his spiel over and over, and I was just cracking up, asking him if he knew how dumb he sounded and how little sense he was making. He had this kind of perplexed look on his face the whole time but he never stopped talking, even as I was doubled over laughing right in front of him. It got to the point where I couldn't even breathe in and then I woke up.

the last 4 nights or so my dreams have been incredibly vivid... i havn't been writing them down but i should start again.. im having multiple dreams, and every single one is just crazy real.
one of the dreams was, i was playing a futbol match for what felt 90 minutes or so, and we're playing with our feet, then one guy from the other team picks it up runs with it and throws it into the goal.. so then we all start kicking it to each other + picking it up + throwing or kicking it into the goal.. shit got mad intense people getting trucked all over, we ended up winning 5-4, no yellow or red cards existed, so it was very brutal.

anyway, here's a single leg jump from yesterday, i'll upload some vid to 'adarqtv' later tonight, plus a blooper.
Veeeeery nice!
thanks man!

What I like most on SLRVJs is 3 things:
1) How fluid the motion is by nature.
that's what im loving about it.. it feels so great to jump like this.. it takes less out of my brain too, like im not really getting AMPED UP like i do with my double leg jumps.. with double leg jumps many times after an attempt my brain hurts from focusing so hard to get up, and holding my breathe/being so aggressive.
Quote
2) The horizontal distance of the jump because of the speed.
ya, a 30" DLRVJ feels WAAAAAAAAAAAY different than a 30" SLRVJ.. so much more distance.
i want to try and really focus on transitioning to vertical though and lose some of that distance, i think im possibly gaining too much distance for my jump height.. i might have some more inches in my if i "try and jump backwards" like i do with dlrvj.
Quote
3) There is not much difference in max height with/without ball. In DLRVJ you lose 2'' or more with the ball in hands from the countermovement difference.
ya ive noticed that.. thats a plus!
Quote
Try some dunks next time , if u can palm the ball u should be able to land them.
10' SLRVJ dunk from DL-jumper = HUGEEEEEEEE!!!
ya i was going to try but i only brought my super-pumped-up-ball, which i can't grip for crap, it's beyond inflated.. i have another ball which is regulation indoor which i can get a nice grip on.. i'll try soon
i will get one sometime soon, within the month possibly or during august FOR SURE
peace man

sheeeeeeeit.. good session though.. SVJ/RVJ was both very good..
Ya , it's 'level up' , i'm there finally , 10'
I could have landed some nice dunks on 9'10'' but suddently didnt care.
When i reach the level of barely dunking a higher rim, i lose interest in improving/doing tricks on lower rims.
Happened from 9'8'' to 9'10''
Now again from 9'10'' to 10'
ya i feel you on that.. time to land 10' dunks.
Quote
Forgot to mention : At the end of the session , i tried a dunk on the 9'8'' rim. Just 1 attempt , got a huge dropstep 2 hander , really hard , both wrists above rim. Crazy stim/psycho effect , after ~20 max jumps on 10' , 9'8'' looked like 9'3'' or sth...
nice man.. there's some like 10'6 rim around here, i went to it one night when it was raining at the court i wanted to go.. so i found this other park and i airballed a layup and realized this hoop was enormous.. then it started raining there.. so i went to another court.. that 10' hoop felt so small, in my mind, it was the weirdest feeling..

july 4 2010!!!!!!!
this is what i intended to post before i worked out tonight at 3am:
sky cleared up by 3am.. so i went to workout..
bw in morning = 157
soreness; none
aches: none
injuries: felt good today
GREAT WORKOUT!
- wanted to goto another court, but some shady ass cars were inside the locked park, with the lights on wtf?
- so had to jog extra to get to the other court.. ~2 mile run to other court
- LR AND RL jumps from 1-2 steps, highest = possibly 31, overall jumps were explosive, hit a bunch of 30's from LR and a few 10'4's from RL
- double leg tuck jumps: 10 sets of 10 <--- good shit
- stiff leg ankle hops: tried 3x5, but i couldnt land stiff and jump, NOT A GOOD SIGN... so i did some prep work
- strict mini stiff leg ankle hops: 3 x 20 <-- killed my calfs bad, especially left
- run home: ~1.5 miles <-- lol legs dead
i planned on doing lunges etc tonight but realized i need to alternate rebounding sessions with my bodyweight sessions.. i don't have enough rebounding focus.. here i am about to add weight to my bodyweight shit and ruin my experiment.. so instead of that im going to focus on the rebounds now too.
the SLAH's were bad.. when my RVJ was peaked, I could SLAH off a mini hop about ~24+ inches no joke.. i was barely getting 12-14 inches off the 5 reps of SLAH's.. so that's another exercise I need to maintain efficiency in.. i just had no ability to lock my legs and stiff leg bounce.. not good!
ok so nice workout..
peace!

pouring rain all day.. couldn't do crap hehe!
i might go do some stuff though in a second actually so i dno, so much smoke in the air from july 4th i don't want to inhale that crap.. it literally is EVERYWHERE.. it's funny how some fireworks here and there can totally ruin every ounce of air in the sky, pretty scary, beware of chem warfare.

« on: July 05, 2010, 02:22:28 am »I've told you how that happens to me..
when i'm jumping powerfully, when i wake up in the morning (afternoon), i vigorously extend my knees, it's not something i can even really control, it's just a very powerful contraction of the quads.. i wonder if that happens to anyone here?
peace
ya i remember.. wonder how many other people that happens to!
