13 October 2010

Bball practice.
Exhausting!
Got some good jumps in , all in extremely fatigued state , dropstep ~30'' , 2 and 3 steps mostly 32'' to 32,5''.
In a 2-step jump i got both hands 3d knuckle at rim.
In another 2-step jump touched  32'' on my way down , definately 33'' at peak , season best!
After seeing that everybody wanted me to dunk , tried 2 times but lost ball palming on my way up , FAIL! :D

Damn nice on the video!
It's actually so good that it looks more like a bad pro work than like a great amateur one.
^^^
That's somehow a great compliment! :D

oooh, i may have asked that before, forgive me if i forgot :)  cool, ya video analysis would be best.. i remember seeing some really weird vert measuring device, which hooked some kind of tape measurer to your waist, but i don't see how that could work due to horizontal displacement.. was odd, need to find the link for it again one day, i've never seen anyone use it anywhere.

Nah ,  i just mentioned in my logs every now and then that i do them indoors , but relax man, you cant remember everything about everyone , you already remember way too much. I don't mean that personally , you are putting some serious effort maintaining this forum and training/helping everyone! Main point ,  spare the "forgive" shit! :D

Makes sense about the measuring device , a measuring tape that only releases tape with its beginning stuck to the floor would work.
But anyway , i dont really care about the absolute height number of the DJs , i mostly care tracking performance & improvement , so 120fps hangtime recording will be perfect.

you're reaching for the rim on dj's right?

Wrong! :D
I do DJs in my house , and the ceiling is low ( about 8'6'' ) so all i can do is head-height jumps.

11 October 2010

Soreness: none
Injuries/aches : none

Plyos session.

- Dynamic warmup 10'

-4x10sec bilateral line hops ( 2 left-right / 2 back-forth )

-4x5 MR tuck jumps

-2x5 27'' depth drops

-2x5 18'' depth jumps

MR tuck jumps were better in terms of shin stress , but thats beause i did 4x5 instead of 3x10
Depth drops were much improved , great FA and very smooth too.
DJs more or less the same with last time , gotta start filming those to track performance.

Thanks guys!
LBSS currently its more realistic to chase season's best than PR. In the last 2 bball practices ive been jumping 32,5'' which is 2'' below my PR. 2'' is a lot and i cant even have a max jumping session , because the weather is rainy lately and bball practices just include random jumping between drills.
But i do intentioanlly suit the phase's ends to create a mini-peaks in Wednesday's bball practices. I need just 0,5'' more to get to 33'' ( that's 10'8'' for me , wrist at rim ), whenever i can do that i can also dunk , so current short term goal is get to 33'' - 33,5'' & finally fucking dunk on 10'.

On a sidenote , i just  realised that this was the 1st workout that my BSS surpassed my squat! :o

THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:






BLUE = current
RED = pending
GREEN = done


9 October 2010

PHASE 1 - Cycle 2 - Stim Workout

Bodyweight@session : ~196
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
Stim : 1 redbull 30 mins before lifting

MSEM SQUATS ( rest between reps ~45sec , rest between sets ~4min ):
3x1 : 209 - 209 - 209
3x1 : 231 - 231 - 231
3x1 : 253 - 253 - 253
209 & 231 sub-parallel , 254 half-squats.
Focus on form+depth ( controlled descend + looking slightly down ). Very happy with the 231 sub-parallel set.

MSEM BSS ( at smith machine , rest between reps ~20sec , rest between sets ~3'' )
3x1@220
3x1@264 , ( 3-rep-PR , all time PR is 2x286 )
220 was insane , free leg touching ground , going up rather explosive , "light weight"!
264 was great too , good form & speed up.

SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x5@110
1x5@132
1x5@154
1x5@176

Great workout , caffeine + taurine + MSEM FTW!

500 reps in 10 mins? That's 50 reps a min , pretty much like 500 reps straight , WTF?  :o

Yep, that and trying to spam the site with hidden links, and all the dumb comments on peoples dunk videos, like this one,

 
"2 months ago TeamFlightBrothers great video, reminds me of me in college - ha. I'm 5 7 and I am able to windmill dunk. I used the famous training program that pro players including Kobe Ray Allen and Areans used.? If you want more info about the program, check out - "50inch vertical (dot) com"

TFB::Dunks:: Guess who's Back ... 5'9&quot; T-DUB!!Sprite Dunk Contest ewwbrxgggwhpq aprczeowempdwkflzf #TeamFlightBrothers"

This is just one of about 10,000 but you get the drift, spammy ass comments with catchy link name directed at gulliable youth.  

i've seen those 50 inch vertical dot com links everywhere, never clicked them, didn't know it was him...

ya that shit is so annoying..

Damnnn , that was him?
Never clicked on those messages to see who it is , i should have! Those were sooooo annoying!
Also the spam youtube testimonials when you search for "dunk" , GRRRGNMNFDS!@#%^%$#!@!

Ill also second what everyone says about his stuff having "stolen" taste , like he is reproducting other people's stuff.
Still , thats better than have you do 500 BW jump squats or "core + calve raises + stretching". I prefer "stolen" legit advice than original major BS.
