it is 12am and i think im about to sleep, that's pretty epic considering i usually sleep at 5-6am.. i'd like to sleep at 3am every night tho.
but that is a good indicator of how tired / fatigued i am, all day eyes been burning.. 2 days in a row of 6 hours sleep and it kills me so bad.. even when i wasn't training hard, during my detraining period, same thing would happen.. kinda odd.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Powerclean vs. Powersnatch vs. Jump Squat
« on: May 19, 2010, 12:01:27 am »
ADA = altitude drop
on an REA squat, there's some level of free fall, it could be 1/4th, 1/2, deep, etc, depending on your ability/preference.. so basically that drop acts like a 'shock', causing greater motor unit activity than would be experienced had you just lowered fast.
But you would have to land after a jump squat, too, no?
I was just thinking this. Multiple response jump squats (rhythmic) have tons of ADA involved. The resetting is what kills the REA transition.
ya, but I always prescribe them single response so that's what I was referring too, should have made it more clear.

« on: May 18, 2010, 06:12:03 pm »2 2 legged one looks pretty good actually
thanks man.. i had nothing either.. when i went to do a self lob i was so haywire i didnt even touch rim haha.. i think if i spend a session working single leg jumps, then next double leg (LR), then next single leg, then next double leg (RL) etc... i think i could stay fresh.. dont know yet, never did that, but my CNS definitely was destroyed for double leg jumps today.

2nd straight day of 6 hours sleep, i am WRECKED... almost fell asleep on the way to the court.
did mostly single leg jumps/layups.. i'm happy with the SL jumps, i hit about 10'5 MAX, which is good considering my best ever SLRVJ was 10'7 when i lifted.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA-0LelgH3U" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA-0LelgH3U</a>
from a single leg jump:
it's funny, even though i couldnt even get myself to do a DLRVJ, i could do tons of SLRVJ.
im basically flaling asleep as i ost this! heh....
peace

400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: Bolt vs Gay vs Powell vs Bailey vs Thompson vs Chambers vs Burns vs Patton
« on: May 18, 2010, 01:40:41 pm »agreed on the gene doping, however there will be a better than jordan, there will be a better than everybody
i disagree, human athleticism can only go so far.. if bolt runs a 9.4, let's say someone runs a 9.2, you think people will end up running 8.9, 8.8, 8.7, etc? it's just not going to happen. At some point, one individual will be the best of all time & no one will beat those stats. The mile is not going to get much lower than 3:42.. 100m won't get much lower than 9.4.
gene doping is very much "cyborg", so even if it ends up causing people to run a 9.2 100m etc, it's not purely human, it only got that way from human intervention. I personally think bolt isn't on any PED's, so what he's doing is psychotic. If he ends up being caught for PED's then it is still impressive, but it puts him in a different category.
As for the jordan thing, in this competitive era it's basically impossible statistically for someone to achieve what he did. They have all kinds of stats proving their won't be another jordan, it is interesting stuff. A guy like lebron might end up getting 2 titles max, kobe might get 2 by himself but his roster is still stacked. Jordan could have had 8-9 titles had he not retired, in an insanely competitive era. I saw some stat on him saying he's never had a 3 game losing streak in his nba career, and that it's pretty much statistically impossible for that to happen, was interesting.

I agree.
I believe that human evolution curve is exponential and not linear... I dont know where it will get in 1000 years , but i guess were talking in the short term ( like 50 years? ) so i don't think there's much room for more progress.
Bolt & Jordan are like genetically doped , but it was just coincidence.
So they got the good genes on everything , including sport-specific talent.
Look at high jump for example:
Sotomayor's WR is 2.45 in 1993
2nd all time is Sjomberg's 2.42 in 1987
And 3d all time is Paklin's 2.41 in 1985
Pole Vault:
Sergey Bubka, 6.15, 1985
Rodion Gataullin, 6.02, 1989
Okkert Brits, 6.03, 1995
Igor Trandenkov, 6.01, 1996
Tim Lobinger , 6.00, 1997
Duh , those numbers depressed me btw , what kind of freaks were they... LOL
ya i agree, and bolt's 9.5 is like, no one ever going below sub 4 mile, then bam 3:42.. thats how insane that performance is.. usually it creeps down, and this guy was celebrating prior to the finish line..

ya of course, but that isn't a focal point of the exercise, but ya you definitely get an ADA there.. with REA, the emphasis is on transition from that landing as explosively as possible.
but yea you're right.

« on: May 18, 2010, 05:38:29 am »Quotei reset between each rep, and if you start out at 25% 1RM and progress slowly towards 35-40% 1RM, they should feel fine..
ya well they are a good exercise at recruiting FT MU's for sure, they enhance the explosive strength characteristics of the muscle/nervous system.
cya
yeah resetting sounds good though i still love rythmic....ever tries rythmic darqman?
ya, i liked rhythmic but i kept it even lighter, around 20% or so.. for the heavier stuff i liked resetting..
one rhythmic hopping exercise i liked is stiff leg hops (or pogos), it can be overloaded with a 20 lb vest or 20 lb bar etc.. it works very well without weight, and are best done jumping backwards stiff legged (you end up staying in place), but here's a vid of barbell pogo's linear:
i don't think i ever uploaded the rhythmic jump squats i did.. didn't do them too long, but i did like them (light).
gn im off to sleep!

2 hours of bball stuff:
- jumps mixed in with dribbling/shooting etc.. at 1.5 hours in, my best jump/dunk attempt was probably 10'8-10'9 touch
- then i played one on one with some kid who said he was a shooting guard for a junior college, good game but he beat me 12-10
- after that game i just did a hard jump from two steps, must have been 34" off the ground, i hit both near base of palms with two hands and hung onto rim, i just took off
SICKKKKKK!!!
thanks alot !

Quotemy legs feel VERY strong every time i walk the night before, for a long time.. this used to happen back when i was training vert way back too.. i think i might walk for like 4 hours tonight and see what happens tomorrow..
- my legs feel very refreshed immediately after
- my legs feel very strong and light the day after
i think walking is underrated in terms of strength, i mean, u get hours of non stop cyclic motor unit output and small ADA's, lots of blood flow, and it's not cns intensive one bit.. i think about training etc too while im walking and, i usually listen to classical on my walks.. i normally dont listen to classical during any other training.
Bring a new jump program to the market : bananas + walking + shadowboxing = 34'' RVJ ! LOL
Now no kidding , getting back to 34 without lifting at all is amazing! Most people dont realise it , they just go "oh! 34! got any dunks? got any pics/vids? now go to 35!". 34 with your type of approach is HUGE!!!
Start doing SLRVJs too , get everything up! Peak conditioning , quickness , power , DLRVJ , SLRVJ , become legendary!
lol!!
the problem with SLRVJ's is they wreck my hamstring tendon, but ive been hitting rim on some of my left handed layups recently so that's a good sign.
the 34" jump was insane, i mean, it was nearly 2 hours in, after an intense 1 on 1.. i had sweat a ton by then AND that 1 on 1 was 100x more intense than i had been practicing.. so i think it kicked my body into overgear, kind of how that cop shit gave me two more inches (on vert l0l0l0l) that night.
plus, i was showing off.. i mean the kid was there after our game so, you know me, i always do better in those situations..
1 on 1 + lots of sweat + showing off = win.
im curious to see how ill jump tomorrow (if i feel bad i wont).
ive never jumped that high though, for sure, without weights.. i have NEVER grabbed a 10' rim two handed except when i trained for vert with all that lifting during that 2 years etc.. so it was a pretty crazy feeling, the jump felt perfect too, finally it felt 'stiff'.
peace man!@$!@$!@

« on: May 18, 2010, 05:22:22 am »nice jumps man...good shit...so you reckon the sprints have really helped? do you think theres a significant amount of force absorption in your spriniting? nice jumps man SIGN THE F*CK UP!
thanks man..
ya the sprints have very much helped but they are very taxing for me.. i really get hammered from them, i think it's because growing up i really never sprinted MAX V hardly EVER, since all i did was play basketball, all of our sprints involved court length (suicides/gassers etc), so i never really went above 30-40 yards haha.. i mean of course doing other stuff i have sprinted over 30-40, but we're talking 99% <=30yards, 1%>30 yards during my developmental years... doing sprints the way i have been has really been hitting my hams/quads very hard, calfs seem adapted.
there's a huge amount of force absorption in sprinting, especially at max velocity.. plus max V = insane type IIx (fastest motor units) fiber recruitment.
im about to start phasing in some other stuff too.. i want to turn my basketball training sessions into a bit more, for example, jump rope rounds thrown in, single leg box jumps thrown in, stiff leg ankle hops thrown in, broad jumps thrown in.. not sure how im going to do it yet, but if tomorrow i feel good i will just wing it.. i will probably end up winging it regardless, every time.
peace man
