Not a single fuck was given this day. She was a waste of life. Millions would have done anything for the health she had and she just threw it away.

Natural selection

I'm not sure it's that easy to judge. It shouldn't be at least. You don't know anything of her life and what was going on. Once the drugs grab you from an early age you're sometimes out of your own control in your actions.

She was in control when she started taking the drugs and she was fully aware of the dangers. And she said no no no to rehab.

You'd say no no no to rehab too if you'd be a drug addict.

Yeah bro!

The thing is - I don't know how that energy is going to be used in terms of time.

That's why I wonder why Andrew eats carbs today for tomorrow. How do you know what you eat today is going to be available for you as energy tomorrow? How can you know they're not going to be converted to fat by then, or that their energy value was lost during the night and next of the day up until the athletic event and so on and so forth.

To me, any death of any kind sucks hard. It's basically a victory of nothingness vs life. Doesn't matter if it's a human being or a fly.

I had a friend who was so talented in basketball, a really really great dribbler and just a cool guy, smart, you name it. But he had this thing about "why do you have to waste time living?". So he kept on telling me how he wants to commit suicide at one point, soon that is. And I was trying to see why (first I thought he was joking) and he was telling me he sees nothing exciting in living. So I was like "hey man, but you play ball, you listen to music, you do this you do that - these are good reasons to live for and you wouldn't do all that if you weren't passionate about them in the first place".

So I tried my best to make him think otherwise. And I haven't really talked too much to him about this because I didn't REALLY thought he was serious. But after a while from that discussion (half a year or so) he threw himself off the top of his 10 story building and killed himself. I'll always have all this story with me ^^^. But IN A WAY - it was expected to happen. Thinking back to his demeanor when he was telling all that stuff - it should've been obvious he was going to do it.

The idea is that not everybody falls into the "same general way of thinking". I don't know if it's something to be judgemental or superior about, I don't think so, but it is what it is.

Not sure. I don't even know a song of her's but apparently, for other people, she was really something.

You're probably going to want to eat carbs and "energy giving foods" before an activity requiring energy though. It doesn't make too much sense to eat carbs and then go to sleep. They'd most probably go in and deposit as fat. Instead, if you eat them before playing ball, running, gym etc they should be used as energy for those activities. Not sure if that's the case though.

Why do people keep on wasting MONEY on programs when really, there's nothing that complicated. Heck, you could go with the Jack M split here on this site and be happy with your future dunks.

Michael Bolton can deadlift 1000? :o

I always thought there's something fishy with that guy.

That's it, I'm getting fat. See, Rippetoe was right when he transformed that kid into a fat slob. That's how athletes look.

LBSS, there is no "so what?"

Adarq opened up this thread and asked for +/- feedback. i gave my feedback. i can only guess that what u ment, since u didnt clarify, is that u want to hear more about my experience?! i dunno what else to tell u man. i guess i can give sum safety advice.

----Safety----
if air alert or any other excercises cause pain or soreness in the knee area use
1. ice on the knees
2. Bengay type muscle rub

always stretch prior, between sets, and post workout.

a good idea for during workouts is to use knee sleeves/braces  and/or  jumper knee straps/bands which are designed to improve patellar tracking and elevation by applying mild pressure on the tendon below the kneecap. The tubular insert provides uniform pressure

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

Or just don't do it when the volume gets ridiculous so you don't have to use things that won't help at all. If you have jumper's knee none of that shit is gonna help.

You can upgrade to a Alex Maroko program as soon as you hit that point.

What about using boxes? Jumping and landing on the same leg on and off boxes would definitely be more intense.
