Program Review / Re: Air alert (knee alert?)
« on: July 22, 2011, 01:20:05 pm »
listen,
I'm 5'11"-6'0"
160-165lbs 7'8" reach

air alert 4 worked for me when i did it 2 yrs ago.
i started at 15 inches, i then gained 9 inches after 4 weeks of air alert training and waiting 2 weeks off for recovery before testing results.  had to stop for reasons like college workload and time. i'm at 24 inch vert now off of two legs., i was also doing strength weight training at the time and that helped alot i think.

my quickness was elevated noticeably after i began playing at the college rec center in sum pickup games. so was my endurance in the game and energy level. being in south texas, we dont see alot of people with giant height's. its rare to see someone who is over 6'2-6'3. i had no probs with my knees. I'm 33 now turning 34 in late dec.

getting back at it now this July 2011, so i am gonna keep weight training too. still got the 24" vert so i've kept the inches i gained before. so i started airalert this morning all the way from week 1 low reps.
as of this july i'm back squatting 235 x8 and can leg press 280lbs maybe a bit more. i jog 1.5 miles every 3 days. i do sprints on saturday's. i workout on a 3-day weekly rotation. i take creatine, vitamins, protein supps, BCAA's,  try to eat a minimum of 3000 calories a day since i'm trying to gain muscle mass for the lady's. my body is naturally an ectomorph and resembles that of Adarq's except im handsome. :)

 

so what?

why was that childish? it was just meant to be a reminder that you can get rally strong without much barbell training.

Maybe the fault is on my side here. But I feel that you don't make an effort to be understood. You posting that video might implicate a variety of meanings. It can very well be interpreted as a criticism to me asking this question in the first place or making fun of the idea that barbells are a superior training tool for most purposes. Why not just make the point and say "you can get really strong without much barbell training" and then post the video?

even if that's the case, which it very obviously wasn't, why do care so much?

ADD THIS NOTE TO EVERY POST SO YOU KEEP REMEMBERING: JUMP EVERY WORKOUT. IF THERE'S NO SPACE, FIND SPACE.

FOAM ROLL BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT, LACROSSE/TENNIS BALL SMR AFTER EVERY WORKOUT.

STANDING QUAD/HAM/CALF/ITB/PEC STRETCHING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVERY HOUR OR SO.

KEEP SWEETS TO A MINIMUM. MOAR PROTEIN. MOAR VEGGIES.


BW = ???
SORENESS = mild in quads, glutes, hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprint
2 @ 60%
1 @ 80%
1 @ 90%
all felt sluggish

- depth jump 2 x 5
way more coordinated and explosive than last time, seemed to be getting higher

- pogos 2 x 5

- squat 5 x 7 x 240
still pretty easy

- OHP 2 x 115
was going for 3 x 5 x 115, lol. skipped BOR, too. not important.

- hanging leg raise 3 x 10
legs straight on most reps but a few i lost concentration and they bent a little

- stretch

So, when I do conventional style dead lifts, I try hard to keep my back straight, use my lower body/hips, and keep my shoulders pulled back/chest out.  How come recently, when I dead lift, like the middle of my back, like where my spine is, in between my shoulder blades, it gets uncomfortable and kinda hurts.  The pain is not that much, it just feels weird.  This is weird, because before I used to never feel anything on my upper back, only my lower back when I would perform with improper technique.  Anyone else experience this?

because god hates you

Is posting stuff like that fun for you?

yes. is posting questions to which you have basically no chance of receiving a meaningful answer fun for you?

isn't part of the point of rest-pause that you only have to do one set? e.g. 10+3+3+3+2 done.

any thoughts on this?

those are all good exercises.

Quote
any other exercises you would add if there was no equipment whatsoever nearby? ie depth jumps, sprints, etc.

your body is an amazing thing and can do an almost limitless range of exercises. which ones you choose depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Quote
any kind of routine that could be set up for a person without weights whatsoever ?

unanswerable question because see bolded section above.
