Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: acole14's journal - DUNK OR DIE

That would be entropy, he is the king and he knows it.
yeah but he does it for himself.
They both need to take it from me: the "former" king of overanalysis - it doesn't worth it, especially at our level. Yes of course you need to think about stuff, you need to be smarter than the naturally genetic freak since programming is going to be a bit more important, but still... don't lose the big picture.
You're going to come back after some time and end up with a very simple routine and think "what it took me so long to come up with this?!" like the JackM split for example.
But if you're passionate about it then it's cool being a bit of a overanalyser.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: High blood pressure
« on: October 02, 2012, 10:15:01 am »
Thanks for the replies guys. This is a very serious issue. I had 140/80 when I was 14 years old, basically in eight grade. I'm feeling ill (tired, dizzy, "weird", weak etc etc etc) every day since ~21 years old and not surprisingly, since I'm at a very high blood pressure ever since then.
No wonder I feel like passing out after squatting or playing aggressive basketball defense for example. Even staying in my home I'm dizzy and stuff like that. Granted that might just be anxiety/because I go to sleep late etc, but still - I'd be able to say it's just anxiety etc if I had a normal blood pressure number.
When I come home from lifting/basketball I usually feel much better, probably I dehydrate myself a bit etc and my blood pressure goes down.
I took it this morning right after waking up - it was 150 by 85.

Well they're a different type of movement (antero-posterior) and they do allow you to hyperextend the hip while under "direct" load to exactly the "origin" point if you will so...

« on: October 02, 2012, 07:39:00 am »
OK so I had last night a blood pressure of 160 with 91... (at about 2:30 AM) - wtf do I do with this very high number? Does anybody here have such high blood pressure numbers? I mean think about it - if I have such a number while resting you can imagine where it goes when I'm training, heavy squatting or running/playing ball.
No wonder I get dizzy doing any of these activities.
Any ideas? I know, less salt, but other than that?
I'm also taking creatine and apparently, there's a connection between high blood pressure and unfunctional kidneys so... maybe I'm punishing my kidneys too much with the creatine as well?

« on: October 01, 2012, 06:07:05 pm »you are correct although I have not jumped on the hip thrust bandwagon yet.
How so?
Truth be told, I did a 3x12 hip thrust workout a few days ago and didn't feel anything WHATSOEVER as far as glute soreness/fatigue. Instead I felt it just above the glutes, where they "connect" to the spinal erectors. Kinda weird, I think I used a good enough form since the weight wasn't much (used 60 kg).

Then I get you would be better served doing RDLs and not hip thrusts if hamstring strength is to be emphasized.

After calculating the CORRECT ratio during the years it came up to 1.824245(9), with the (9) being a very important part of the result. It makes all the difference in the world.

For me they destroy my knees... I can even feel the kneecap "move around weirdly" when I do them, and tremendous pressure on it and every ligament etc in there.

Not sure if sarcasm...
But if sarcasm, then I have to say - it's too bad atg squats ruin your hips.
