Just sacked up and bought some lifting shoes. Now I can finally get the most out of chin-ups!  :strong:

Yeah. Lifting shoes are a must for any upper body exercise.  :headbang:

lookin very powerful indeed! runup was fast!

hey adarq, in some other thread here, i think it was nightfly's, someone said somethin abt moving into specifity lifting... like how mayb half/quarter squats are better for jumpers, provided a decent strength base is achieved.

what are your thoughts? or anyone else here?

monday and wed adarq!

thurs i'll prolly do some light cardio, as recovery, for the game on fri.

thanks BJ, its still not 100% yet, damn thing took its time to recover, but at least its better haha.
will be tryin to dunk a small bball sometime arnd xmas, need to peak fast!

was silently abit confident i could get high enough to catch a lob previously, provided the timing was good, but now mayb that might have to wait slightly.

Adarq can u post workout for next week? Wats it gonna be like? Strength type?

501
Ball was nothin serious, just horsing arnd with colleagues, legs felt sore, tired.
While doin the squats, also sore. Tired, but the pain felt like it had gone.

Today, a day later, my legs feel like they are back. :)
think i can push them next week alr!

502
hmmm... what would a 'light cardio workout' be then?

adarq does alot of walking.

i dun have access to a heart rate monitor, and truth be told, im not too hung up on it either... so for a lazy bum like me, what would an example of a workout be?

aiks..

i'll be hitting the gym in 1.5 hours time. if you havent posted by then adarq, i'll just do a upper body workout with the previous template, coupled with some submax MR tucks, depth jumps, rebounding quick lunges or something. mayb some REA squats if my legs feel fine.

508
3 x 10 unilateral glutebridges before I went to bed.

My hands could feel the entire butt tightening, but I generally felt the hams more... Am I doin it wrong?

Think I'll actively try to include some of these light exercises before I sleep whenever I can...

Mayb some other stuff frm tt 7day cure thing...

509
Thx man.

Mon, wed, thurs is good for me.

My upper body is fine also. Just the left thigh, still no full rom without some pain at the end, but I think/hope it will be gone in another day.
First time I experienced somethin lik this man... Haha!
