wtf? i mean if those fossils actually exist then of course it isn't a hoax, but, where would one go to see those fossils? never saw pictures liek that before..

Well apparently they found them in the Bucegi mountains (Carpatians or Carpati as we call them). Now this is silly because one camera crew should be able to just go there and film them if they exist, but apparently nobody did that yet (as a full report, I mean).

There's also talk about some "giant rooms" into the walls of the mountains, perfectly aligned etc.

But of course, you need to see this first hand before you believe it.

Well I recover kinda bad after KB swings but I'll keep doing them until my body eventually adapts to them in some way.

In terms of bounding, bilateral bounds, of any kind, are impossible at the moment because the amortization phase is incredibly long. It's like when you put a good standing vertical jump guy to do consecutive maximal (or even submaximal) jumps - he will suck very hard at them. I don't load at all on any of them. It's basically a jump, a crash, a reset and then repeat.

And then I can't do single leg bounding on my right leg. So as you can see, things are pretty messed up. My idea is to keep on doing sprints first, then do limited bounding. And by limited I mean say 3 bounds. And focus on these 3 to do them quick and powerful and all that. When I can do them well I increase to four and so on. Also it might be a good idea to do some sort of tuck jumps of jumps on spot (say jumps at the rim) for a while until I can at least take in SOME energy before and after each subsequent jump.

It still doesn't make any sense whatsoever why is the bilateral jump, of any kind, so unnatural. I guess because people (me) walk unilaterally, they don't hop on the streets on two feet. A one-leg jump is simple because it's just an exaggerated natural movement, an exaggerated "step". To me, at least.

By the way, I think I'll use the full squat for muscle building one day (Tuesday) and half squat for explosiveness (with a lower weight) on Friday. I mean, it makes sense to me at this point in time where I want to play Saturday and Sunday.

Also, I think I'll do some low box depth jumps + half squats (adarqui's LTMP) + one-leg explosive box squats everyday with KB swings after coming home (low volume). Those things shouldn't generate too much soreness done everyday or CNS fatigue (low volumes of course, say 1-2 sets at most of each).

What rep range would you choose for hypertrophy?

Should I go with a top set of say 5 and then back down to a 2x8?

2 black dudes there like 30 white people.. black dudes were "trying to dunk", they couldnt even touch the rim.


That's why they were hanging out at the "all white" gym.

lmfao yup.. i can't recall ever being in a gym like that.. usually wherever I go i'm one of only a few white people. One thing I found interesting was how smiley everyone was. For example, people were laughing during the game. After foul calls, people would smile and stuff. People would dribble down the court with a smile on their face...

Normally when I go to a court, games are pretty heated.. lots of hard fouls and occasional face-offs where people are almost going to fight but it's broken up.. The games themselves are very intense, then after the game everyone chills..

Who knows it was just one experience but, it definitely was night & day.


So... you summed up black vs white attitude? That explains a lot.

Nice Lance links towards learning the hang powerclean and hang powersnatch. ;D :strong:

For me, regarding jumping with the ball, I jump HIGHER with the ball in hand off one leg but definitely lower with the ball in hand off two feet. One of the things I've found out, and Kelly hasn't mentioned, is the fact that with the ball in hand I tend to let the upperbody drop towards the ground quite a bit and basically throwing the center of gravity forward which compromises the jump.

i jump best also up to 3-5mins after a pick up game. sprints/submax jumps.. its all there and it gets your blood flowing better when you're chasing somebody. you can try to mimic the "game" attitude on your drills but that's not as easy or fun or as the real thing.




100% correct.

I stare at the rim until my body's pumped and ready to go.

VC in 2000 dunk contest eh? :P
