If you watch a fight, you will notice that when they grapple or clench, they push on each other with their head. Also, there are multiple other instances where the head is pushed on for leverage or advantage by the opponent and you need to be able to keep your head up to see what is going on. I have no idea why he added a lateral raise to it.

ya that is a good point. I still think it has more to do with strengthening the sternocleidomastoids for anti-rotational strength of the head, but you could very well be right on this one.

GSP well definitely be the guy on top pushing down with his head, that's why I think it has to do with strengthening the neck for anti-ko ability, if thats even possible. GSP could possibly be an olympic medalist wrestler, hardy stands no chance in that department.

peace man good thought.

Dream about gabkicks haha:

Ok, so, I'm hanging out with you in your basement, playing F1 or something. Then some chick comes over and you're like dude give me some space. So I go upstairs, now I'm in some kind of boat in the amazon. Meanwhile, it keeps flashing back to you trying to makeout with this chick. You're making progress.

Then it switches back to me, and these pirate people with axes/swords board the ship and start chopping everybody in to pieces. So i'm running, fending for my life etc.

Then it switches back to you, you're like, RIGHT THERE, and all of a sudden, fucking commets/asteroids start raining down and destroy everything and I wakeup.

Ok so, i'm driving with my mom in her car, apparently going to pick up a pizza. So she drops me off near the corner, and leaves to go do something. I'm walking to the pizza place and the entire town is deserted, no one anywhere. Then I see some football guy I trained way back, and he tells me "it's labor day man everything is closed.". So, now i'm just waiting for my mom to spin back around and come pick me up.

So, off to my left I see 5 cops all of a sudden, with guns pointed at the football guy possibly. I then put my hands up, which now have workout gloves on them (for when I do pullups). The cops notice me and I'm like "i didn't do anything". Then, 10 cops are on me, guns pointed, one tackles me, hands behind my back on the ground. The dude is using his gun to frisk me, ya that sounds gay but apparently I killed 18 cops so no one is withdrawing their weapons. I keep telling them i didn't do nothing, put the gun down, but they don't listen.

Anyway, it then skips to where i'm in prison waiting for my verdict date, which seemed to take like a month in the dream. That's why this dream was hell, I felt like i was in it for so long. So that period of time goes by, then I'm off to the court. I get out of the court, hug my family, cops everywhere, then go inside the court. There everyone looks intent that I am guilty. So, as they are about to read the verdict, I wakeup.

wtf?

Gah so I just checked out a Q&A this podiatrist that I'm seeing on Friday did a while back in the Washington Post and the guy is all about orthotics and extra-supportive shoes and so on even for toddlers! The (dominant) side of me that loves being barefoot or wearing as little shoe as possible is reeeeally skeptical right now. If/when I have kids those little fuckers are gonna wear shoes as infrequently as possible. I kind of wish my appointment was RIGHT NOW, I'm really antsy about it for some reason.

Gotta be open minded, gotta be open minded, gotta be open minded.......

ya im with you man.. orthotics (&strengthening) for kids in extreme situations with huge deviations, otherwise, strengthen those fuckers up.. It's kind of similar with the ADHD shit now too. Man, I was hyper as fuck as a kid, but that's because I am very imaginative/creative, the mind is always racing between tons of ideas. I'm so glad kids weren't put on that shit as often, probably would have lost a huge amount of creative development.

the over-prescription of america pisses me off pretty bad.

I don't even like taking medicine when I'm sick, yet most americans are pill popping daily for god knows how many "ailments".

so ya, don't rush to a decision on the orthotics, think it through.. those people like to put you on the spot

peace

some streetball vid, pretty nice.. one guy, lots of nice in-game dunks.

be careful man, achilles tendonitis sucks, it took me like a year till it felt about normal, and even then i still had tenderness in the area, which lasted for about another year, and strangely dissapeared a few days after i did a stim on my calves, maybe the extra calf strength was necessary

advice may sound familiar here, but it ain't worth it to get achilles tendonitis now, you still got a long training career ahead of you, i'll get to that 275 squat in time and you will get to your goals, make sure that achilles is ok, i think that would be one of the worst things to injure especially when your focusing on one leg vert/reactivity, etc.  It's a bitch to heal up too, and you won't be able to fight through it, or even want to if you injure it

ya thanks for the words. When I was doing my RVJ stuff a while back (you know, 2007-2009 or whatever), about .5 years into my training my left achilles started acting odd, so I was always worrying about it. Having the achilles-injury stuff in your head is never good, shit would mess with my head hardcore. I don't even like talking about it.

I call it achilles-area because, I don't really think it's my achilles. I think it's a flexor digitorum muscle, which is in the general area:



I crunched (flexed) my toes during calf raise, and felt something.. did it by accident.

ya kellyb's post was damn good.

he's a knowledge nut :F

sux about the toe/knee, you still going to play ultimate?
