Basketball / Re: Double EastBay on 10ft rim is definitely Doable

Criteria:

-6 FT 1 - 6-7 in height

-Must be of West African Descent/ancestry (studies show this race tends to have the most fast twitch muscle fiber)

lmao :uhhhfacepalm:

so you mean a white person (or any1 not fitting West African Descent - even though we all descend from Africa), who say, matches all of the qualities you mentioned except this one, can't do it?

anyone jumping ~45+" with a long wing span can theoretically pull it off, they just need to be obsessed with trying to make it, putting in all of the work on lower rims until they get to 10'.

45-50" is the biggest factor, you need enough time (near 1s off of the ground) to go through both legs while still having a chance to dunk it, so need to get up really high.. in addition to that, longer wingspan definitely helps.

Quote
-Must have a wingspan similar to those of many NBA players, ie wingspan 105%+  of height

-Must have a tremendous base strength in comparison to body weight (many of these pro dunkers definitely lack base strength) but have so much elastic ability

why does base strength matter? all that matters is that you get up insanely high.. being more reactive/elastic is probably better, means you can just get off the ground easier and still fly, rather than getting deeper into your plant and focusing so hard on getting up.

Quote
-Must be sub 6% body fat

-Must have at least a good ability to palm the ball

All of this plus a lot of practice, flexibility, good coordination, and I guarantee this person will be able to pull off the double east bay on 10 ft.

it's definitely doable.. Jonathan Clark fits pretty much all of those requirements.

Some older dunkers could have probably gotten it in their prime, like James White.. height+wingspan+vert+coordination.

bw = 145
bw before bed = 147
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left calf a little tight
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
feel = great

wakeup = 6 AM

diet:
06:00 AM: black coffee
06:30 AM: very light stretch
07:00 AM: workout: very light run + bw
- 3-sec paused dead hang ng pullups: BW x 9
- full dips: BW x 10
09:30 AM: 2% milk, coconut water

- 3-sec paused dead hang pullups: BW x 6
- full dips: BW x 10
06:00 PM: another whole foods bar
- the one with chocolate chips makes my stomach a bit funny though... was so damn good.
08:00 PM: workout: light running
09:40 PM: 2% milk, coconut water
10:30 PM: chicken skewer, quarter watermelon, avocado, 2 x 2% milk



stretch:
- 06:30 AM: everything (except hips), very light
- 10:30 AM: soleus during dishes
- 11:30 AM: lots of calf, some quad
-- need to be careful with the calf stuff but they were very tight, so tried loosening them up, hope I don't regret it.
- 05:00 PM: hamstring walks, these felt amazing .. just staying bent over touching fingers/knuckles to ground, feet at various angles, and only stretching for one second, then walking forward a step and going into another stretch. might do this more often, felt amazing afterwards. so probably got in like, 50 or so little mini stretches.
-  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
- 06:30 PM: some quad stretches while walking dogs
- 11:20 PM: soleus during dishes
- 11:30 PM: everything before bed


workout: fasted+coffee: very light recovery run, same effort, run until drop off: ~4 miles @ ~8:45 mm, 2 miles @ 9+ (drop off)
- 7 AM

just ran until my "same effort" dropped off considerably, that happened to be mile 6 basically. Couldn't even go slower than ~8:4X early on, then that same effort became 9:05 and finally 9:1X, so enough of a drop to quit.

going to do the same thing again tonight. interested to see how having food in me affects it.



 :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

141 after run... lmao



workout: light recovery #2: 1 mile walk, 3.5 mile light run @ {7:27,7:23,7:39,7:44}, *stopped because stomach went nuts*, 0.5 mi walk, 3 mile light run @ {7:24,7:55,8:05}, 0.5 mi walk, 2 mile cool down
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1218411839/overview

damn my stomach went nuts.. i think i know what did it. anyway, wanted to actually hit ~10 miles or so at < 8 min/mi, which seemed like it was possible if my stomach didn't go crazy - by mile 3 I could hear it while running. eek.





right ankle bugging a little, probably from the calf stretching earlier.. lame.. not messing with it though, hopefully tomorrow it's gone.

 :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:

lol. 213 overall (so far) in the october distance challenge on strava.





saturday = rest
sunday = morning race, evening = light recovery

10/5

psoas/ham pnf

practice: got beat deep by a rookie. twice. granted i was playing a little cocky/lazy giving him a step assuming i could make it up. oh man that made me sooo goddamn pissed, he said he didn't play sports in high school, only in middle school. fuck. maybe top speed is what i need to work on after all, im feeling pretty confident in my accelerations and my changes of direction felt pretty good.

the bigger problem was my poor emotional control in the situation, i walked off the field seething, just ignored my teammates offering high fives for the layout d attempt. "i don't deserve those high fives", "i don't need you feeling sorry for me" is what i was thinking. rather i wasnt thinking at all but that was the logic behind my actions. i havent felt that mad in a long time

ah damn.. i dno, my opinion is except the high fives & such. doesn't mean you still can't be upset with yourself etc. from your account it sounds like you almost didn't even notice the high fives though, that you were just too upset with yourself.. but if you did notice them, i'd just take them & still refocus internally.

this one pro baseball player i used to train, comes to mind ... he was incredible at "faking it" when people offered him some kind of like "good try, get em next time" (from me when I was training him s&c or from teammates doing skill work etc) kind of stuff.. internally he'd be locked in like a pit bull, externally he'd be smiles and laughs, like nothing phased him at all.. He is a really intense dude internally, incredible drive & attention to detail on correcting mistakes / address his weaknesses, most people would not recognize it at all from how he comes off externally.. but they definitely see the results.

Notes:
I thought about doing more sets of bench but fuck bench press. Piece of shit lift has been a total waste of time, im done with giving it any more attention than it deserves. On to dips and they were rally challenging for the first time -- i wanted to use a 9kg kettlebell but there wasnt one between 8kg (from last week) and 10kg so went with 10kg. It also prob didnt help that i only did 3x5 last time instaed of more sets (i reduced volume intentionally on upper body lifts to priotise squats) but i will add more volume now that i know bench press is gna be reduced volume from here on.

ya F bench, dips > bench.

Quote
Tempo sprints i actually came home and was gna get out of the car and thought nah i better do it, dont wanna waste acoles time. So went back literally was done in 5 minutes and back home. I started conseratively. At first i thought this is kinda silly but by the 2nd round i felt a nice pump in the hamstrings and realised this could actually benefit me more than i realised in terms of recovery. So exciting stuff, first straight sprints ive done in months (only did hill ones). Nice.

right, it's definitely not a waste of time: not everything has to hurt, be all out, etc.. nice relaxed speed intervals = good for the CNS.

171005 W2 max effort at 10 foot
https://youtu.be/eEgZ6qbA1YM

Really discouraging... When my goal is dunk.. And this is how high i am getting...

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEgZ6qbA1YM" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEgZ6qbA1YM</a>

eh.. did you do all of that stuff before you jumped? all of those drops/DJ's?

i wouldn't be able to jump for shit after all of that stuff either..

before my jump sessions, I did ~5-10 minutes of just light dribbling/short sprints, then I started working into progressively more intense jumps/dunk attempts. I've mentioned this several times to you, but all of that stuff before actual jumping can actually "shut you down".. so, if your coach has you doing it, you have a few options:
1. don't get discouraged because that stuff is going to most likely wreck your CNS prior to jumping, so realize that your actual jumps will be affected
2. ask that some jump sessions be "free", with the only goal being actual jumping
3. a session like that could generate alot of fatigue and help you jump alot better a few days from now

To *ME*, drops precluding jumping is not the best idea .. if the goal is to actually jump high. These things are a "shock" and can completely wreck your central nervous system - i mean, it's an out of nowhere force absorption while consciously preventing any rebound effect.. they can just throw everything out of whack. Utilizing them *AFTER* some max jumping is fine IMHO. Low box DJ's before a jump session seem to be ok.

so, you being discouraged, becomes: should I be discouraged given the context of what precluded my jumps? IMHO, no.. should you be discouraged in general? dno, but, from what I saw in the video, you looked really "dead" and still got some decent jumps off.. you looked "fried", but jumped ok.. so to me, not discouraging.

FWIW, the only thing I really liked before jumping was some pogos, but light/reflexive, just to get my "triple extension" firing real solid .. but that was just like 2-4 reps max, just a few bounces to make sure everything is locking out as I extend every joint.

peace

I am an 22 year old trying to compete in the hurdles, 100m, and long jump of the olympics.

My daily strength training routine is squats, lunges, dl, back extensions, calf raises, kb swings, sl curls....

only upper body i do is 5-15lb arm swings.... I don't do any upper body exercises

do you have a problem with that?

sounds like david could use some upper body calisthenics .. other than that, david should make some progress.

As for acoles comment the glutes also externally rotate and abduct the leg so abductions hit the glute in a different way than extension exercises. I prefer the clams though, or else the TFL muscle can take over

Why is this?

I made a mistake actually I didn't watch the video and thought you were talking about a different exercise. The TFL is the dominant abductor in most cases though, but apparently not in that range of motion. Also that exercise is great because it's a mix of abduction and external rotation.

[n]Pretty much I was kind of a cunt and assumed I knew what you were talking about because I researched glute training a lot. But I've actually never seen that exercise, and from trying it just now it seems to work very well. Definitely will add it to leg day warmup.

Thanks for calling me out lol[/b]

I would throw in seated band abductions with a thick band you can do for 10-15 reps. If you lean forward it isolates the glutes superbly.

I don't like this exercise tbh. I did it for a little while and it fucked up my hips made my snapping hip syndrome worse. Also this makes the glutes stronger? I thought the glutes are mainly responsible for pushing the leg back, isn't this more for hips and side of thigh?

It's a complementary exercise to those already posted to strengthen all functions of the glutes. Having better hip abduction strength will help your squat, jump etc. BSS and deep squats are the way to go for max strength/hypertrophy of the glutes. Btw, if that fucked up your hips, get that syndrome sorted by a professional - it's a warmup/rehab exercise!

i wrecked my hip twice (both for 6+ months) by doing this:



though, i think that's far more dangerous than anything mentioned.. i mean any human should be able to do that, but maybe not "relaxing" in that position, allowing certain muscles to relax and the head of the femur to "shift" inside the hip.

also, i think warmup, hydration, & effort is important in this context .. if someone is doing simple rehab exercises & gets hurt, it could be related to those 3 components.. one could be doing the safest exercise in the world but ends up with some kind of "ache/injury" by not being warmed up enough, by not being hydrated enough, or by generating too much force for such a simple intricate movement.

in fdl's case, I could easily see one of those factors contributing, especially the "effort" one.. that gung-ho attitude can be dangerous with rehab/prehab/flexibility exercises. i've wrecked myself with simple exercises before because of hydration & effort, not so much warmup.

BSS gives me the most intense glute doms, especially if you use less weight and do strictly vertical shins. I think hip thrusts are also great but a little harder to track progress because you can have pretty inconsistent form and get a good workout from 135 or 405. I think simply sitting back into your squat is one of the best types of glute training you can do. However you won't be able to lift as much weight or use as much quads.

If you are truly quad dominant I believe it is especially important to get an excellent glute activation warmup prior to all leg workouts, especially squatting.
-glute bridges with a hold at the top
-clams, banded clams
-banded shuffle walks
-glute kickbacks

As for acoles comment the glutes also externally rotate and abduct the leg so abductions hit the glute in a different way than extension exercises. I prefer the clams though, or else the TFL muscle can take over

Those are similar to the exercise acole pointed out. I'm afraid to do those because it might mess up my hip alignment and stir up snapping hip syndrome.

i think the banded shuffle walks should be safer. banded clams seems more intense.

also:

one thing that really gets my glutes good is activating them during pullups and dips, by abduction/extending (so, abduction hips, extending hops, extending knee, and plantar flexing .. split in the air). glutes can get on fire from that.. no resistance but good activation.

Yep Capitalism, it's the most fair system.

When players get too greedy (and owners for that matter), it's bad for us the spectators because game halts, like it did several times before.

whoa..

a capitalist who has a problem with greed?

*faints* :)

very confused though how greed is bad for the spectators, who seem to be putting more money in the players pockets.

honestly i think you're convictions are just not strong.. this is how you can argue for capitalism then talk about players being too greedy etc. If you were a true capitalist, like how you seemed to come off in earlier posts, you'd have absolutely no problem with how much the players are getting paid, because the free market sorts everything out.

Quote
I mean you're arguing how much money the owners should be making too, as opposed to me saying the players are making too much.

i'm not capitalist.. i'm a mix of things.. but you're a capitalist, so you shouldn't be arguing it at all.

i can see this convo could really go out of control.. i just find it funny that, your first reaction, while being a vocal capitalist, is to talk about repercussions instead of rewards.... a capitalist looks for rewards, not repercussions...

tbh now you just sound like a politician, you're all over the place.

btw FDL, before you set me straight, just clarify one thing for me, it'll take alot less time presumably: you're a capitalist right? If not, what were you arguing with LBSS about socialism for? Maybe I misread those posts.. My replies come from the context that you're a vocal capitalist. The world is flipped upside down lately, so maybe nowadays capitalists argue about how much money people should be making? That's not something i've ever seen before.

If you are a capitalist, please provide me with your top 10 professions where people are paid too much money. :trollface:

I may reply later when i have time, but a lot of your assumptions are wrong. I know too much about the league and how it works.

If it's anything on the level of exhaling during the descent of a heavy squat, I can't wait.

Seriously though, please set me straight. Your initial post doesn't make me think you have anything substantive, QFE:

Quote
Nah, the players association has bargained for higher and higher salary til the point it's gotten ridiculous. The GM's and non player employee's make a minute fraction of what the players make but play a key role in making it all happen, without either parties, it can't happen. The owners are already rich but still, they take losses some times.

The players have it WAAAY too good. They have literally no expenses during the season, the best benefits of any job. Min salary is like 800k, max salary is like 60,000,000, come on now.

That post was just full of substance. The "players have it WAAAY too good" line is something i'd expect to see argued in court.

stretch:
- 09:30 AM: quads
- 1 PM - 6 PM: quad stretches throughout the day



workout: morning relaxed speed: 5 x 800m @ {2:57/5:55mm, 2:44/5:31mm, 2:46/5:33mm, 2:44/5:29mm, 2:38.8/5:17mm} ::: wet/rainy sidewalk, light walk back recovery, no looking at watch
- 10 AM
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1216451463

felt really good!! again really wet so had to be a little careful, but everything felt good. Weather is going to be really bad for the rest of the week, so can't really work around it. Really happy with the first split, that was just a warmup lap, but still sub 6 nice and easy. Last 800m was the hardest obviously, pushed it more, it being the last lap.

This workout felt really good & legs feel fresh, so tonight's workout (400m repeats hopefully) shouldn't suffer at all.

Hoping to one day knock out these intervals at sub 5 pace at the same effort level .. relaxed sub 5's would be awesome.





best one is definitely the third 800m, very even pace.



workout: evening relaxed speed, 5k race prep: 21 x 400m with 80m light walking rest @ mostly 5:3X/5:4X, with some 5:2X & 5:5X ::: reps #19 & #20 @ 82/81 ::: wet sidewalk
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1217124765

wanted to hit 25 but only got to 21 (work capacity issues), including the first 2 warmups. was more focused on trying to maintain ~85s pace or so, just by feel/not pushing it. A few hours later, legs feel amazingly good. Have a 5k race on sunday, first one in like 8 months or so.. no idea how i'll do, but should do ok, feel like i'm in ok shape. Last workout is tomorrow (bunch of long slow recovery), then saturday = complete rest, sunday = race.







friday = morning/night - light recovery
saturday = rest
sunday = morning race, evening = light recovery

Actually, you know what? I really think it's this simple.. In response to someone saying the players make too much money etc, have it too good.. I think the first response should be:

Too much money based on what? Do you have stats & numbers comparing player salaries across sports to the total amount of revenue brought in? Do you also have stats/numbers comparing athlete salaries to C-level execs at major corporations, actors, lawyers, wall street players etc?

If not, your opinion is baseless and emotional.

That'd make for an interesting thread. Would love to see the numbers in front of me. Who knows maybe there's a 538 article out there that all of the "the players make too much money!!" crowd is basing their opinion on, but I really doubt it. :trolldance:
