ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Great forum section
« on: November 22, 2010, 10:47:09 am »
Well there's nothing to appreciate, really, I was just speaking my mind like I always do. If you were to suck in my mind, then I would've said that... But since you don't, then it's great. There are so few good people to talk about training you can just count them in single digits. You're one of them, although maybe your biggest flaw is you take things personally too quick, just as an observation :P

It's great not to be politically correct these days :D

A GREAT warm-up is the most underrated thing I've ever come across. It makes such a big difference to me, ~6 inches (yes, that's right, SIX inches). The amount of elasticity, body "feel" and movement efficiency increases so much after a GREAT (not good, GREAT) warmup.

To me, in that picture you look like 3-4 inches away... it's too far away from the camera though and the angle distorts it, so I don't know. Definitely not 1 inch away...

i'm directly under the backboard, behind the net.. see the white line on the ground, i'm directly over that also.. check the proportions. heh

also, explain to me how you get 3-4"? i mean, we clearly see like 1" away on pic, but how do you get 3-4"? you just making up a number or what? lool

ripp was kidding with his 5-6" comment.


Well that certainly isn't 1 inch. Maybe one inch on the monitor screen :D

whatever that means.. congrats though at being blind as fuck.. gj.

If you think that what looks 1 inch from 30 feet away is really 1 inch in reality, then... well... :-*

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: THE DREAM JOURNAL
« on: November 21, 2010, 03:21:15 am »
I've had the most incredible dream... I've never heard anything similar yet, so to me it's a "wonder" of a dream if you will:

First off, I remember I was playing basketball on an outside court and the coach of that "streetball team" was Stan Van Gundy. It's interesting because I went to bed thinking about how Orlando is going to play Indiana that night (middle of the night here in Romania), and SVG is the coach of the Magic. Then I remember I needed another basketball and met with Miles from here, who was going to the gym at that location and he gave me one ball that was kind of slippery and then another one that was more "streetball" and with better grip.

THEN - this incredibile thing happened: I somehow went to listen to a music videoclip. This clip was being sang by 5 people, looked like a 70's band. The main singer was from Romania but moved to the USA some time ago, and looked a bit like Benny Hill.

When they started singing - it was just incredible. The music was incredible and their voices were incredible. The voices were digitized - meaning the voices were going through synthesizers (you know, like in the 70's).

The incredible thing is this - how could the human brain create a music dynamics between five voices, percussion instruments, synthesizers, sincops (there were these as well, where the music would stop and one voice would be heard) ON THE FLY?????????????????? How can that even be possible??? I mean, I could accept that if it didn't make sense as music, like random music "ramblings". But this song, everything about it, made PERFECT sense like it was god-written if you will, like a great composer made it

It just blows my mind. Think about it - songs are being made over long periods of time, with notes, instrument dynamics being considered, analysis etc. How could my brain create something that made perfect sense ON THE FLY???

And no, I can't reproduce the song, but I remember it to great detail in a non-musical way. I remember the clip, the faces singing, one was entering a bar and then the instruments stopped (sincope) and there was a lone voice singing, I remember all this, but I don't remember the music. I remember these things and I can associate the figures with what was happening music wise - but other than the voices being synthesized, I can't give any further details. It just made perfect sense in my head and I don't think, one bit, that it just an impression because I have a "vivid" memory of the song but I can't express it.

To me, this is just one of the most unbelievable things I've ever been through, and probably will be a long time from now.

PS. Oh yeah, and I remember CharlieA returned to TVS. In my dream that is. He was saying a big mistake was to eat something, and then immediately try to eat again (wtf).

There are so many variables... body structure, strength in different muscle groups, recruitment of these muscles, body control etc will decide if Air Alert will wreck your body or not. The thing is - why do it? I mean, there are a lot better ways to train and less risky.

Freddie Mercury reminds me of Nechifor Lipan. A weird combination of things.
