Have you considered adding some steady-state cardio or extensive intervals? Improved aerobic fitness = quicker recovery between bouts of exercise, among other positive adaptations.

I prefer the intervals. I like them more as an excercise (HIT ) and i like the training effect too.
Id do both :
day 1 steady cardio ( sth like 45' at 60% MHR , main focus fat loss )
day 2 intervals ( my fav is 2x10 80m , 15 sec run - 45 sec rest )

Problems are :
1) bored as i already said
2) cold and rainy outside

Let's see if i can man-the-fuck-up and put some more work...  :strong:

WTF , that's unreal !!!  :o  :o  :o

What's your hand size? It looks like you're getting wrist at rim? Or is it just cam distortion?

Mind blown anyway!!!  :o  :o  :o

his hand is 7", there is surely some slight distortion on that highest jump, so what looks like 2-3" down his wrist becomes more like 1" down his wrist or base of hand, which is still 127-128" - 89.5", which is

BEAST

MODE.

haha

ya man ur the human vertec, i give it two thumbs up over here, i imagine you will too after some analysis :D

peace man!!

My analysis is the same with yours , word by word.
That's why i said its unreal : i mean it's fucking real as we see it , but it's also ~38'' to 39'' , 1000% legit , WTF , mind blown again!!!

any plans on improving your overall fitness? I think you could make some nice improvements with not much work, ie some quick interval sprints (gassers/suicides) after a session, some jump rope before or after upper body, or something.. I think you could definitely improve fitness a bit more by focusing on it a bit before or after those UB sessions, perfect place to incorporate.

peace man

Yup , gotta push it a bit more , gonna start with some indoor jumprope sessions and whenever its not too cold and rainy gonna go for intervals.
I am ashamed to admit , i've been wanting to do fitness work and some more reactive work long time now but... i was too lazy!  :-\

Hypertrophy? What are you talking about? That's BAD! You only need strength. Or so they say... :ninja:

Didn't Kelly write an article called "The Myth of Relative Strength" or something like that? Bigger = stronger.

Exactly , http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/relativestrengthmyth.html

Raptor , its not like im bodybuilding , the 1st phase was "hypertrophy-oriented" , serving more like a GPP role.

Yeah Vag I was replying to you.

Thanks for the advice Kelly.  :highfive:
This week's hypertrophy workout is the last of that kind , then there's one explosive and one MSEM workout and the hypertrophy phase ends after 3 cycles. In the coming hypertrophy transition phase i'll change the 4x6 squats to 5x5 and the 3x8 BSS to 3x5 paused.

1 November 2010

Bball game.

Endurance = bad , i get tired after ~5 mins and i can't breath and request sub at ~8 mins :(

Vert = good , did only 1 jump in very fatigued state at half time and got 8'' above , but the rim was slightly bent so it's 32,5'' and not 33''. Nevertheless , touching wrist at legit indoor court rim feels damn good!

Well , the ratio you designed for yourself is definately better.
Kelly gave out a long-term schedule transitioning in 5 phases , from GPP to peak. It is a god damn good program , but it is for everyone. Yours is 100% customised to your needs, starting from neutral and not GPP or hypertrophy etc.
Having said that , i was also very much tempted reading that template.
But my mind is already made up , ill complete my ratio , hopefully achieve significant gains in strength and work capacity and then i will do the high-freq template he gave in his previous article...

Man I'd say stick with what you're doing. I really like what you do. If you were to consult me likely the only thing I might suggest thinking about from a VJ perspective is how much you really benefit from a distinct hypertrophy phase.  I'm not sure if it's the best thing in the world for you given your current size and qualities.

Was this addressed to my training or vag's?

Probably to mine because i had that "distinct hypertrophy" 1st phase , not 100% sure though.  :ninja:

Good to see you back on the bulk there Vag. :)

Thanks Kelly , bulk is nice! :D gotta put some more effort at it though , im stuck at ~197.

Quote from: Raptor on October 30, 2010, 06:23:04 pm
Damn! 8 reps with 220 lbs at the BSS? That's monster!

Ah , i forgot to type again on the title , i do them at the smith machine so they are much easier. They are still unnaturaly strong but that specific 220 set was bad ROM , more like halfs. The 198 was legit though , and the 176 was piece of cake.

I WOULD BEAT LBSS TO A LIVING PULP RIGHT NOW THEN DRINK HIM IN A SMOOTHIE MIXTURE, BUT I AM GOING TO SEE "RED" AND GO GET A CHOCOLATE MOO FROM JAMBA JUICE, THEN GET PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS, SO ILL BE GONE UNTIL LATER TONIGHT. YOU ARE LUCKY LBSS.


Raptor , that's also a great idea for easy consumed nutritional extra  ;D  :P

The question is, what the hell kind of gym installs a non-adjustable rim that's not 10 feet high?

We had such a rim at the court we play, it was originally 10' and it started slowly collapsing ( imagine those long horizontal bars getting just a slight bend , like 0,5 degrees , not visible but still there ). When it reached 9'8'' they replaced the whole thing.

Back to the thread , here's how a 6'4'' man looks under a 10' rim , and how legit 50''+ look like:

THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:






BLUE = current
RED = pending
GREEN = done


27 October 2010

PHASE 1 - Cycle 3 - Hypertrophy Workout 2

Bodyweight@session : ~197
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : upper body DOMS 1/5

SQUATS :
1x6@187
1x6@209 , ( +11 lbs )
1x6@231 , ( +22 lbs )
1x6@253 , ( +33 lbs )
187 sub-parallel , 209 parallel , 231 & 254 half-squats.
Back to halfs , feels better ( & harder ) than lighter deeps.
Since i cant push on depth , i pushed on bar speed at half squats , impressive , 253 was flying up.
Gonna keep this for the next workout and in the next phase ill switch to [5x5 : 3 deep-2 half].

BSS:
1x8@176 , ( +22 lbs )
1x8@198 , ( +22 lbs )
1x8@220 , ( +22 lbs )
220 too heavy , limited ROM.

LEG CURLS:
1x8@99 , ( +11 lbs )
1x8@110 , ( +11 lbs )
1x8@121 , ( +11 lbs )
1x8@132

SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x12@110
1x12@121 , ( +11 lbs )
1x11@132 , ( +22 lbs ) , ( -1 rep )

Back to green :D
