apart from times when i was sick or temporarily very sad about something, i can't remember a time when i've been less motivated to work out. it's weird. gonna take a break from strict adherence to GMB F1 and just work on hand stands, pirouettes (which i have come to see the value of, oddly enough), lever, and crow/crane. and some conditioning and stretching. i think i need to mix things up for a bit.
yo! re: our DJ technique convo on IG. I just unprivated some DJ videos, this one shows what I was talking about pretty well:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bukCCeb-UH8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bukCCeb-UH8</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8UqPUW0KOA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8UqPUW0KOA</a>
Wicked! Will incorporate the arm swing ive seen in your vid. I think you are doing them off a higher box so you actually start and complete much of the arm swing process while in the air! which is really interesting. I think my box is around 12" so I cant really get too much into the arm swing process but i should be able to get aleast the raising of the arms infront of me done in the air? Or try to get more than that? What do you think?
Re: Box height, there are other boxes (higher ones) but i thought to master the technique with the lowest one before trying higher ones. But now you've got me wondering whether i'd be better off using one I can do a proper armswing while in the drop phase.
ALso watching your SVJ vid im realising i dont use any arm swing in my SVJs. Imagine if i can PR my SVJ today by working on that. Will take vids.
edit. postworkout:
I think i finally got a 'good enough' depth jump and wow, even tho box is ONLY 11" (i measured today), it felt really intense. I guess this is why people say depth jumps are intense. i thought they were too easy (even with 30" jumps i did in the past..) and people were vastly overselling the shock to the body angle. Interesting. So it's fun to do jumping workouts. I did some depth jumps, then i tried jumping for a max touch RVJ and i sucked. Then i went back, did some kettlebell swings working up to the heaviest bell they have (28kg), after that i tried some more jumps and was back to touching the vent territory. FINALLY got touches with my new LR plant .. they're really faint touches though but still progress! i cant help thing i can get more out of the LR plant, as of now, it still feels submaxy, even the arm swing doesn't look as smooth or aggressive enough. not sure why, i know it's a different movement altogether in how my hips and stuff go thru the jump but ya hoping something clicks, prob need to try a few different things. Today i thought i could be more straight on with the target rather than approaching from side-on. I think with RL plant side-on makes sense but with LR i have to modify to straight on etc.
Also i prob did my first windmill dunk .. hypothetically, if it counts without a hoop cos i was jut messing around with a medicine ball at the gym trying to get the movement down. Also the hoop wud prob need to be around 100" high cos i finish the movement on the ground. haha. just gotta figure out a way to jump higher while doing it and also bring my arm around quicker
Productivity levels on the rise
Back feels like its improving, i think the cardio was affecting it.

Scooby, how come I have almost no knee pain, and I squat a lot more than you narrow stance/knees way out. I also played bball overweight, used to play all the time on concrete.
You need to release muscle tension on your quads, especially outer quads, and every muscle around the hips. It will make your knee feel a lot better.
I doubt you have bad soft tissue in your knees; you're not a professional bball athlete. and i doubt you have a degenerative bone/muscle disease.
thanks for your respond, like I said previously, i should at least get myself reactivated, the nothing beat a good session of full body stretch/foam roll.
btw Adarq, thanks for keeping up with chatting in facebook.
Week 2- Day 2
1pm
LISS Run
40.03 mins
6.13km
Calves bore the brunt of this run. Had to walk up two significant hills and the calves were burning. Don’t have an HR monitor so I have a small convo with myself every now and then to make sure I’m around the right range.
Week 2- Day 3
1pm
LISS Run
40.02 mins
6.45km
Felt like I may have pushed a little harder here than I needed to. More walking and more distance than yesterday suggest that as well. Prob need to slow the pace down a bit. I’m nearing 6m/km pace when I should be closer to 7. Will do that for the long run this week.
Week 2- Day 4
5.15am
SE Circuit- 2x30 @40kg (30kg for push press)
Push press, front squat, row, floor press, shrugs & RDL
Got through each circuit quicker today. Total time for both was 31.06 including the 2 min rest between circuits. Took mostly 60s between exercises with 30s between shrugs and RDLs. Push press was also easier today too. Feeling good about this.
8pm
Basketball game. I haven’t played in about 9 weeks and I definitely noticed the difference in my cardio. Still got puffed after repeated sprints but recovered after 1 minute instead of that accumulated fatigue that usually sets in. Pretty stoked that’s the case after not even two weeks of running.
Week 2- Day 5
7pm
Hapkido. Great class. Worked sparring combos and transitions for the first 45 mins or so. Put the protective gear on and we all got smashed a little. Plenty of falling and getting thrown. Next 45 mins was technique work. Lots of 2nd Dan and trying to remember all the stuff I’ve learned and forgotten over the last 7 years.
Week 2- Day 6
1pm
LSS
58.58m
8.39km
7.00min/km pace
Was aiming for 7min pace and got exactly that. Felt I had been going a little too hard in the previous runs. Can definitely feel the difference here. If I had somewhere nice to run or a good loop that was 8-9k this would be much more enjoyable and I might even like running.
Rest day tomorrow
what bs is this with amir khan and to make it public via twitter just disappointment. Keeping up with the khandashians lol I remember hearing this somewhere.
Wladimir retiring also a big blow to boxing.
Why is degrasse not competing.
100m bolt may have had a bad start, but he seems to have a habit of doing this and I think it's just a strategy on his part to psyche the opponents.
It's going good so far.
file this under "and shit": ibi watson setting a michigan record of 44.5" (12'1.5" touch).
reminds me of that anecdote about milton berle, who had a legendarily huge cock. some guy challenged him to see whose was bigger, so they went in the bathroom and came out again a few seconds later. the guy looked disappointed. someone asked berle what happened and he said, "i just pulled out enough to win."
