Don't steroids help with joints as well? Aren't they prescribed after surgeries etc?

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: July 01, 2011, 02:24:25 pm »
Dreamed that I was in India having a seminar with Rippetoe. And he asked me to put in a 3 kg orange plate, transparent, with some "bubbles" in it on a barbell. Then he comes in and asks me why that plate isn't 3 kg (it's heavier or lighter than 3 kg).
And I invent something and he turns to his audience and says "see, this guy hasn't read my book". And he takes me by the shoulder and walks me to a marketplace where they were selling honey. And I'm like "oh, yeah, it's because the density is different!". And he's happy with that answer, but suddenly he becomes a thin, light Indian man (120 lbs or so) with a moustache and faints. And I was with a playboy model or something. The Indian cops come in and I'm like "it's your turn to roll" (to the girl) and she tries to show her tits in a way or anther to the cops to let us leave.
The end.

That mouse is TOO DAMN STRONG.
THAT IS BEASTIAL.
Now that ^^^ really made me sick. Not because of anything else, but because I feel so sorry about that mouse... just really really makes me sick.

Sucks, reminds me of my back injury when I came back too soon and pulled it back again on a SVJ dunk attempt. 
Can you do pistols?

Well he said, and I quote:
So he definitely still cares about dunking.^^^
He pretends not to though. GOTCHA!
Anyway, what's annoying about Nightfly is that he has this idea that if he doesn't squat for 314234.2342 s he's magically going to become non-athletic. He really believes it's the squat that potentiates him and that without it he will jump 10 inches less in 1 day of non-squatting. This, in my opinion, has really wrecked his reactivity and not only that (although not so dramatically) - he should focus much more on reactive stuff and stay away from squatting for a while. Make his body understand and use the tendons more at this point where everything is strength-driven.
He should maybe work out to a "speed" daily max in the squat (as soon as the speed of the next set/weight is visibly slower than the set before stop immediately) and then do plyos. Stay away from grinding squats and get reactive. At his strength levels (400x5 half squat at 185 lbs bodyweight) he should REALLY focus on plyos.
What I propose is this:
Squat: 50x5, 80x3, 100x3, 120x1, 130x1 (speed is visibly slower than in the 120 kg set, stop) <--- very low volumes
Plyos/Power workout/Go dunk.

not only at lj but also in dunking. My 2 legged approaches are basically svj with one small drop step

What I meant is - he's missing the point about DUNKING. He's like "hm... I have a bad approach when it comes to dunking".
"Maybe I should do long jumps in the sand pit, jumps over boxes at higher speeds, this, that". How about just using a longer approach to ACTUAL DUNKS?!

« on: June 30, 2011, 06:33:49 pm »Ok. I'm good with short approaches i need to transition to longer run-ups... I'm also running very slow into my jump, not only at lj but also in dunking. My 2 legged approaches are basically svj with one small drop step
Sorry but "logical logic" calls for you to actually start to do longer approach 2 footed dunks and try to increase speed on them gradually if that's the aim.
I think one way other than doing this ^^^ is to go with hurdle hops, say 3 hurdles, starting with a small hurdle and finishing with a tall hurdle.
