50-65 $ an hour? Wait... so that would be the salary I get per month in one day.

When he gets some glutes? Wasn't he saying that he's hip thrusting 200+ for reps? Doesn't sound like lack of glute development to me.

By the way - I've rarely seen people use their hips properly when they do backwards med ball tosses. The VAST majority of them use their arms with the hips barely doing any work. Of all the people I know, I really really use the hips. Which is weird because of all the people I know, I don't use the hips at all on the powerclean. Very interesting how this is so different.
Well you feel like you use your hips... but how do you know that? And who are the vast majority. These NFL guys toss the 12lb ball almost 30 yards. That's impossible if you only use arms...
Try to take the word "only" less literal than you currently are taking it. Of course they use their hips, it's not 100% arms and 0% hips, just like in my case it isn't 0% arms and 100% hips. How do I know that? Watching video and feeling the complete extension/hyperextension. Some people end their hip extension movement and then they still continue moving their arms, and then release the med ball at the moment their arms stop moving. So it's a sequence where the hips aren't doing anything and if anything, they just added some "momentum" to the arms or whatever (try not to take this literal again, you know very well what I mean). The difference in timing might be (very) small, but it's there, and it makes a difference.
In my case, and a few other cases of a friend I was training with, the timing is perfect and it looks like an Olympic lift, a continuous movement where the medball is "launched" by the hips through the hands, but most of the time what I see is this lack of timing and the overuse of the arms to throw the ball.

Looks pretty good to me, definitely better than anything I've ever done off two (well, maybe except for my SVJ dunks on 3m).
It's harder to dunk like we do, with the LR plant + right hand, the timing has to be much better than in a VC-esque plant or RL-right hand. Plus you still have the tendency to look down during the plant (like I do).
Get stronger hips and you won't have that tendency anymore.

I did that for a while before my squats, but sometimes it's detrimental. I think I had some hip pain after it or something.

ya i dno, weird right? ;fQuoteThat's lighter than my highschool days. I weighed 67 kg back then. 144 = 66 kg. The least I've ever weighed was 64 kg when I was 21, due to eating 1 per day off ~5$ per day, me and my mom. So I was living with 2.5$ per day for food then.
damn
i think i lived off of ~$5 for food or less in h.s. too. i wasn't a good eater back then, but i played tonssss of basketball.. so needless to say, was skinny as fuck.
i remember when I wasn't self conscious at all in h.s.. but i took my shirt off after basketball, and some teammates mentioned how caved in my chest was.. i always remember that because, prior to that moment, I never actually thought about any of that. I just played bball all day and was getting into computers. stuff like that didn't even cross my mind.
HEH!
Here too. I had a friend, djoe, who used to be on TVS and also here, that told me back in the day that "you don't have any chest AT ALL" and I was like "why would I?"
He's in the UK now, btw (or actually, he might've gotten back to Romania to have a farm).

Back in high school I would jump the highest after doing "warm up and gymnastics" stuff for 50 minutes. I would be extraordinarily tired yet jump like crazy (but I was light, at 67 kg).
Now I probably jump the highest after 1 or 2 aggressive games of 3 on 3 (I rarely if ever play 5 on 5, I have no place/nobody to play with). Whenever I play 5 on 5 I feel so reactive, so much blood in my legs - I bet if I would play 5 on 5 consistently I wouldn't even need too much plyo work, except for actual jumps.
But I think the heavier you are, the more the jumps need to come "first" - or else by the time you get to jumping you'll be tired, your legs will be filled with blood and you'll be "muscle-bound", not reactive.
At least this is my experience with this so far.

this simple piece of code took me 3 hours to figure out.. I was overlooking something for a lonnnnnng time.Code: [Select]q4 :: forall site.
(YesodPersist site, YesodPersistBackend site ~ SqlBackend) =>
Key Board -> HandlerT site IO [(E.Value Int64, E.Value Int64, E.Value Int64)]
q4 board_id = do
runDB
$ E.select

E.on $ thread ^. ThreadBoardId E.==. board ^. BoardId
E.on $ thread_post ^. ThreadPostThreadId E.==. thread ^. ThreadId
E.where_ $
board ^. BoardId E.==. E.val board_id
return (E.countDistinct $ board ^. BoardId, E.countDistinct $ thread ^. ThreadId, E.countDistinct $
thread_post ^. ThreadPostId)
now, i go lie down and die.
So this is how my life is going to look.

Yeah and the rent is crazy, not to mention buying a house there. I have a friend who works there and he uses the currency there as he would here, except he's earning more there than here, even if we had to use the same coin. So...
