I doubt he's 14. It's possible he is, but extremely unlikely. More likely that someone fudged his age. Not that I give a fuck either way, just saying.

lebron was like that though, in middle school & high school..

Yep and lebron is a one in a million kind of player. Even in the NBA he's heads and shoulders above everyone else. There are people who say he's the best of all time (eg pat riley), so he's not just great now, for his generation, but of all the players who have played the game before. 

The kid in the video has amazing athleticism and probably a kick ass kipping press and taking nothing away from him, he'd be impresive at 17-18. 14 is just nuts, unbelievable.

TLDR: I'll take the odds that the birth date is off much more readily than i'll believe we've found another Lebron!

had the same thought. whatever his age, some of those dunks are sweet.

what are dwight howard raises.

i definitely understood that the tempo needs to be genuine sprints. 17-18s was my memory of the last time i did them, which was a while ago, but it might have been more like 16s. could just be faulty memory. EDIT: went back and looked and should have written 16-17s, which is what i was doing before. i've never really been timed at a full sprint over any distance, even hand timed, but you will be unsurprised to hear that i'm pretty slow. trying to get some hand times soon so i have something to work off of.

on the two-a-days, what was the rest schedule? e.g., on/on/off, on/off/on/off, etc.

I like hearing "soreness in my calves" coming from LBSS. That also probably means Achilles tendon work.

maybe, although the soreness is at the other end of my calves, just below the knee. make of that what you will.

modeled on T0ddday's recommendation from a while back. thoughts? will not be able to start the gym workouts until after i get my stitches out (hopefully saturday). if i do manage to find court access, i'll do something similar to workout A but with DLRVJ after broad jumps, and shorter sprints for obvious reasons.

WORKOUT A - TRACK/COURT

- dynamic warmup, leg swings, fast leg, skips, strides, submax SL jumps/bounds for practice
- measured overhead backward shot tosses x 10

- 4 standing broad jumps (consecutive, with reset)
- 2-3 x 4 DL bounds
- ME SLRVJ (3 step, 6 step) x 10-12

- ME sprint 3 x 60m
- (OPTIONAL) tempo work, start at ~800m

WORKOUT B - GYM

- warmup
- snatch 2-3 x 2-3
- HB squat x 3; 2 x 5 @ 80%
- OHP 2 x 8
- pull ups x 30 (broken up however, add reps once i get it in 4 sets)

- circuit x 3
-- hyper x 8
-- calf raise x 10
-- abs x 10-20

- SVJ x 10
- DLRVJ x 10 (if space in the gym)

yes, yes he does.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: upper calves
ACHES/INJURIES: stitches in left thumb, can't fully open and or extend thumb; right shoulder from the tetanus shot; right armpit lymph node is swollen and painful (??)
MENTAL STATE: weirded out by the boston thing, pissed at my injured thumb, motivated to get SOME kind of work done

- fartlek x 3 miles
~35 minutes, mostly very slow jogging and walking with several sprints of 15-30m and a tiny bit of fast jogging. felt good although it's not an ideal way to work out by any means. did manage to check out the fields i was looking at online. the new turf one is supposed to be lit at night but is not. that sucks. guess i'll have to wait until the sun stays out longer to take advantage there. ran a little ways longer to see if the high school over there (dunbar) has a functioning field but i didn't see one. maybe they play somewhere else? they're a powerhouse, vernon davis went there among others, so they must have a nice field. but not along the sides i ran on. there's also a rec center on the route i ran that has an indoor bball court. will need to check that out at some point soon, as well. don't know why i didn't think of public rec facilities earlier. dumb.

- stretch

w/r/t rain tax: not white house, not sure where you heard that. just maryland, where governor o'malley signed a law last year, passed by the maryland legislature, authorizing a tax on impervious surfaces (ones that don't absorb any water when it rains) for 10 counties and baltimore. basically a small fee levied to help pay for upgrading stormwater management systems. it's up to individual counties how to implement it.
