very nice work on 300 x 5..

Thanks. I'll be happy when that number is high enough for me to throw down. Forgot to mention the other day, when I was shooting around before getting into my warm up, I got a full knuckle on the rim for the first time. Kind of surprised myself, in a good way. I've been able to touch 120 before, but I mean barely, so I'd guess I hit around 121, which would mean a 31-32" running vert without really thinking about the jump. Seven more inches to go.

ya thats worth mentioning.. congrats on that too..

the "not thinking about it" aspect is interesting.. when I was jumping my highest, the last 3-4 months or so, I would wreck my running jumps if I wasn't going for a dunk.. they just didn't feel right, and I'd lose 2-3 inches..

then when i'd do the self lobs, wouldn't think about anything, just go up and get the ball and slam it.. thats why most of my best jumps came off self lobs where the ball bounced a bit too high.. its interesting that your body can give you more..

peace

my CNS is f'd up major..

my left hamstring hasn't stopped twitching for over 24 hours now.. non stop..

uh-oh...
Does muscle twiching means CNS is fucked up?
I am getting crazy quads and hams twiching all the time 

well i wouldn't imagine twitching 24/7 would be a good thing.. im talking 24/7 non stop.

it never happended to me before like this so, .. i would get twitches and stuff when i was lifting, but it would come and go..

i dont have any scientific research to back this up but i would say 24/7 twitching non stop wouldn't be a good thing.. try eating more bananas maybe?

i've been doing ankle hops and pushup isos, and low squat ankle hops, oh and hamstring isos.... every day for about 5 days.

i feel like ive gotten a bit more 'pop' back.. but im just doing that cause i still dont know what i want to do with training.. i kind of think ill get back into dunking eventually.. so this stuff ive been doing has definitely been making me feel my "jump" coming back.

peace

sup man

your wrist still fukt?

Haha nope. Calf muscle and Achilles tendon lengths aren't about to change. I've actually thought about this: Would it be possible to surgically lengthen one's Achilles and tighten/shorten the calf muscle? I seriously doubt it because you're dealing with insertion points and grafting muscle to bone and so on. And it'll never happen because who's gonna be the guinea pig? Just hypothetically speaking.

nah i doubt its possible.. with bicep reattachment, you're just reattaching to a spot with more leverage, so you get stronger.. i dont see how you could lengthen the tendon.

genetic engineering will be the future so its all going to start in the womb.

re-did my about page.. some motivation perhaps for others.
