You're lighter AND leaner after a vacation? Isn't it usually supposed to be the other way around for old farts like yourself?

Nah , on the contrary , think about it , in vacations being younger you consume much more junk food and alcohol...  ;)

Yeah but you can get away with eating anything when you're 18 haha. When I was 17 and 18 I ate like a gallon of jello a week, sometimes with soft serve ice cream on top. Did not gain a pound that year.

Haha  i was referring to "younger" as mid 20's :D
Now besides joking , nutrients partitioning does change a lot , but you can still control things pretty well at my age. Takes much more effort for the same ( or actually a little worse ) results, but standard things/rules still work.




I know, I know. I was just messing with you.

I know , feel free to do so anytime  ;D
That's why i said "besides joking" , thought i should drop some useful info too given the chance...

dang that would be tough...but 50 by 50 would be certain failure....but anomalies are awesome!!

50-by-50... hmmmmm... tempting!  ;D
Besides joking , 40-by-40 is almost certain failure too! Even the age-vs-vertical race is pretty damn hard to have the vertical as winner. But hey , it will be fun chasing it!

Fuck yeah, vag. Welcome back.  ;D

Thanks man , glad to be back!

I'M BACK!

Ok , so last activity was dunk session of 26 July.
That makes it 21 days of absolutely no training!  :o
Not even bodyweight stuff , not even some light jog , nothing.
Its all cool , some mental/physical recharging is never too bad...

New season starts , gotta get to 37'' to beat my age! :D
2,5'' in 12 months...
And then i already have the new challenge ready: 40-by-40... 40'' by the time i reach 40 years old.

Tomorrow = body measurements + jump testing.
Next day   = back to gym.

GO GET IT!!! ;)

Thanks vag! Still can't jump, though. Gonna ask the PT about it tomorrow. Soon enough we'll see whether my lifting improvements will mean that I can grab rim net  :D

I had a bad ankle sprain on December 2008. I could walk normally even the next day but whenever i tried to push ( jump or sprint ) it would hurt like hell , maybe re-injuring!
I had to be really patient , in the beginning i wasnt , i would want to try to jump to see where i am and that would throw recovery back. After 1 month like that i decided to stop , i never jumped again , i was lifting normally , doing some self PT at home etc.
Finally , i went on a jumping session at end of April 2009 ( 4 months after the sprain ) and BAM , i was better than before.
It wasnt at 100% yet , but every week it was improving. So what im trying to say sharing my experience is be patient , dont push it until its ready , keep PT and lifts and when the ankle heals the vert gains will be there! :D

Thanks everyone

Uploaded a nice pic of that PR jump :

http://www.adarq.org/forum/adarq-org-special-content/age-vs-vertical-pics-and-vids/msg10766/#new

damn sick, your feet are covering the eyes on that graffiti'd face too, makes it look like it's crying..

overlay looks real high man..

good stuff.

Thanks man , ya , the overlay is sick! That height is ~37,5'' on me so 34,5'' seems ok , 3'' from body moving and not standing right up.
Also if you compare it with my 2 uploaded 34'' overlays it seems just a bit higher...

Nice detail the graffiti eyes...!
