32 inch vert pr yesterday!!!! i didnt even have my ipod so i did meditating on my best jumps. However, i didnt start meditating till my 10th jump so if i did it on the 5th-10th jumps, i probly would have gotten a bigger pr. I also did my warmup of leg swings and butt kicks with my eyes closed just to see what would happen. at 6 40, i ate spinach and life cereal.
sick, update your original-post too btw, with your new pr.
I'm going to Roger Ebert this b*tch. I should do them all like the clockwork orange one. Kind of in order from most awesomest to almost most awesomest:
This is probably my favorite movie. Every time it's on I can't help but watch it, and I've seen it probably > 30 times. The acting is just on point. You can feel the tension heat up between Gene Hackman and Denzel the whole movie, until it boils over hardcore for the last 1/3rd of the film. The concept of the movie is also damn interesting: How can they both be right & both be wrong aboard a nuclear sub? This movie is so damn intense.
This movie is just ridiculous. Everyone talks about Pacino in scarface, godfather, etc, but this has to be his best performance. This is the typical "torn between Good & Evil movie", where you find yourself rooting for Good and for evil throughout the film. De`Niro & his crew of career criminals, representing "evil" depending on what side of the fence you are on, live out the anti-establishment dream by intelligently & carefully planning heists throughout the movie, yet making very small mistakes at inopportune times. Small mistakes that Pacino & his crew of law enforcers look to exploit, in order to take De`Niro & his crew into custody. Although each character in this movie is hardened, most of them are vulnerable in the "love department", which is an all too real twist considering the loneliness of each profession, but it's not portrayed irresponsibly.
Beyond that, this movie has the best bank robbery scene in the history of cinema.
For the vast majority of people watching this film, they will be thoroughly entertained, which is somewhat interesting considering the senseless violence, hooliganism, intense imagery, & mind control tactics that take place. Everyone will leave this film with a different interpretation, including a satisfaction for various individuals violated in the film, depending on your subconscious moral code. But that's what makes this film great, that in a world where violence is so frowned upon & outlawed, there exists a thirst for violence in each human, no matter good or evil, that has to be quenched at one point or another. The hooligans go around hooliganning, the bobbies & mind-control doctors go around beating & mind-raping the hooligans. The cure, in this film, for hooliganism, is to force-feed the individual to immense amounts of violent sensory overload. After treatment, at the very thought of a violent act, the reformed hooligan's own organism will become sick, vomit, and lack any sort of will to enact a crime. Here is where you get the title, "A Clockwork (machine) Orange (organic)", which meaning comes from the ability to control, like a machine, a human organism. Re: The system.
patella's the knee cap right? if so, then ya the patella. inside top part.
how do i stretch the knee? just the quads?
ya, standing quad stretch & lying down quad stretch.. also you can get in to a bulgarian split squat stance, back leg elevated, and dip down and stretch the quads then.. stretch them AFTER you're loose, like after basketball/lifting.

what do u mean by shiftin to the knee during squatting?
like, shifting your weight forward to the knees, ie more quad.. if you sit back you should feel more hamstrings, knees shouldnt shift forward much.. if you're feeling alot of pressure on the knees, you have to "suck the femurs back" a bit and get the knees back.
left achilles OR some kind of flexor digitorum is strained/tender.. what's odd is, i felt fine sprinting last night, and throughout the lifting.. i do remember crunching my toes (flexing them) during calf raises, and feeling it back there.. also, during quick lunges tonight, getting into that position with my toes "extended" on the back leg, aggrivated it the most.. which would stretch the flexors.. so im hoping thats all it is.
jog to workout area, felt it a bit in achilles-area.
i don't even know if i should label this rfi, but whatever, it definitely is focused on "stiff" reflexive firing, but not too intense to be called ADA.
RFI: 4 rotations
low squat ankle hops: - didnt aggrivate achilles-area - 50, 54, 70, 60 - dno how i hit 70, felt so good, odd
stiff leg ankle "pops": - not hops, just quick pops - 20, 20, 20, 20
RFI: 3 rotations
"rfi" pullups: - these were badass - BW @ 17,19,15 - speed dropped off hard by third set - basically pull myself almost all the way up, then let go and catch immediately pulling back up, repeat, so its bouncy
"rfi" pushups: - deep position, lifting hands off ground fast and replacing - 30,30,30
guys, im experiencing a little bit of this niggling feeling at the inside top part of my knee whenever i start working...
it normally goes away after a few deep BW squats, shaking my legs abit to try loosen things abit, but whats up with it? anything i could do to cure it?
above the patella? try stretching and icing first.. maybe you are shifting a bit too much to your knees during squat?
