yup. same size as karl malone, moves and jumps like derrick rose.

anyone who thinks they're even close as athletes is kidding themselves. it'd be like saying a defensive end who could cover randy moss on a deep post and then sky him for the INT wasn't the more impressive athlete.

Wow I just HOPE my son is really into basketball, I'll turn him into a damn star. I mean with the knowledge that I know now, imaging applying it to an 8 year old in stead of an 18 year old, and the potential rises just so much more. And how knows how much more knowledge we'll all have by the time we have kids? Better protein, better training philosophies, etc.

I mean I'll have him play with toy basketballs when he's a baby and stuff and watch basketball games with him, hoping that he'll have an interest for it, but I don't think I should force it down his throat if he doesn't like it. Like if he falls in love with soccer, then I'll help him like crazy with whatever I know about it.

yup. daughter, too, if i have a daughter. and if the kids don't turn out to be into sports at all, well, that's cool, too. but i'll be damned if they run, throw and jump like idiots.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but adarq.org's getting some more love on CF's forum. Too bad it's from one of the dumb poster on there that's always getting shat on, though. :P

Jeez, that guys on youtube running 10.22 too.

I wander what the knowledgeable guys are running?.




link? 10.22 is fast as shit.  :o

if you're trying to imply that being an elite athlete (and 10.22 qualifies in anyone's book) correlates with not asking retarded questions or making retarded claims, good luck with that. a taste:

Quote from: Race Radio
Backed up by electromyography, I find squats to be the most overrated exercise around. Even though Charlie stated 'sprinting was a back dominant sport', he still employed/favoured squats highly, which from my research are quad dominant (right? or wrong?), both front or regular & don't hit much glute neither. Wouldn't deadlifts/barbell hip thrusts/reverse hypers etc (ham/hip dominant) be favoured options?.

Anyway a bench/squat variation?. What does everyone make of these below, (opinions) please?. You don't see many people performing this any more. A forgotten strongman's exercise, great for overall body strength development.




I think there right up there IMO, anyone into really strengthening the core in particular, increasing your plank time etc should be hitting on these. According to electromyography, great for glutes, hams, delts etc.

Yes? or No?. Performed dynamically or isometrically?. All opinions appreciated.

I have conversations like this with myself sometimes. I'm pretty sure I'll end up having kids with a girl who is physically attractive at the time we decide to have kids; also as (or more) intelligent/high-achieving as I am. I simply can't envision it being any other way. But will she be athletic, or have athletes in her family? Will I care at that point? At the moment I'm sure I'd like my kids to be more athletic than I am and having kids with a chick with better athletic genes can't hurt there.

Current GF is beautiful and is smart and high-achieving as hell but isn't an athlete (used to be a ballet dancer, pretty good but not pro quality). Marriage/kids with her highly unlikely but these thoughts do enter my mind sometimes.

I know you were kidding, but I'm kind of serious...

If that's the largest reservation you have about this chick then get the fuck over it :headbang: Also, don't try and force your future kids into being super athletic. Encourage them to try as many things as possible and do what they like to do as well as they can.

haha, if this were the biggest reservation i had then i'd be worried about myself. reservations that come before that one (by no means a complete list):

1. we're both 24, MUCH too young to get married IMO
2. she's about to start medical school in another city and i don't want to go back to an LDR
3. i have no long-term stability, nor any desire to have it
3a. there's a solid chance i'll be living overseas in the next couple of years
3b. there's a solid chance i'll be in grad school in the next couple of years
4. the sex is good but i've had better (especially from my now-fundamentalist christian ex, lol) and i can't imagine settling before i've had a bunch more of it
5. i just don't wanna

believe me, i'm not going to force my kids into sports and once they play i'm not gonna be a crazy driving parent living vicariously through my children's athletic success. those parents are pathetic. but, barring disabilities, you can be damn sure those kids are gonna be running around and playing outside as soon as they can stumble forward without falling down. i want them to be physically confident. that doesn't come from 1000 forehands and backhands a day from age 4 on up, it comes from doing just what you said. letting them be kids and encouraging them when they find something they like to do.

them being more athletic than me is just a secondary dream.

i was just imagining meeting a girl with this in mind.

Me:  Ok so could you just turn around
Girl: um ok...
Me:  nice, nice...oh :(
Girl: what  ???
Me:  its just your calves
Girl: huh?
Me:  they are too low and large
Girl:  (starts thinking to herself: pervert...)
Me:  Yeah I would prefer someone with higher cut calves but it was nice meeting you...  Its a shame really, you were preselected for this date by your ass-- it really indicates an excellent ability to recruit the gluteus maximus but other parts of you were a letdown. Bye

Another question, who's more explosive d. Rose or LBJ?

i'd say d-rose for sure, but, if you "weight it" based on height/weight etc, lebron is ridiculously impressive.. a guy his size moving the way he does, is unreal..

d-rose is definitely faster and probably has more "legit" vert than lebron.


LOL, that shit is funny. Not changing the pic, though. Actually maybe I will.

Anyone trying to say that Rose is a better athlete than LeBron is just stupid. Crazy and stupid. Rose is a freak to be sure, but LeBron is at Bo Jackson status. Keep this in mind: HE'S THE SAME SIZE AS KARL MALONE.

I'm wondering if this question would've been answered differently by a woman.
Well if it's about the place, then I understand, but if it's about winning It  doesn't make sense to me. On paper it might, but unfortunately we live in reality, and it appears that he would have had a better chance with the cavs, though they suck without him, he made the better. I'd take jj hickson over bosh.

Women don't care as much about beautiful weather, beautiful people, great nightlife, etc.? I could just as easily have added a photo of a bunch of random ripped, tan dudes, which I'm gonna go ahead and assume there are more of in Miami than in Cleveland. I didn't even go out of my way to look for a picture with girls in bikinis in it, that's just what shows up in image searches for "miami party" or whatever.

I don't disagree with you about the winning part of it. Cleveland with LeBron, Wade, Varejao, and exchangeable parts would have been really good and maybe better than the Heat are now. Don't know about Hickson over Bosh, though, haha.

But I think they wanted to play together and if that's a prime concern, then come on. Gotta be Miami.

What's the difference in the cavs and the heat.  Dwade? Because Chris bosh sucks. If they wanted to win championships they would've been better off with Wade going to Cleveland, at least they had some type of bond,lebron seemed happier, and if you say he wasn't , i never seen a sad man dance so well, but they had chemistry and lebron knew how to play with them, they were just missing a dwade. Chris bosh seems unhappy and did I mention he sucks. Good luck with them 8 plus ring that they'll never get  :P
I hate the heat ! Though I'm a heat hater, I don't think my bulls will get one either, so I'm rational.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you...

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CAVS AND THE HEAT

In the brown corner, THE CITY OF CLEEEEVELAAAAAAAAAND




In the red corner, THE CITY OF MIIIIIIIIAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

hahah, being a T-rex does make arm motions easier.. smaller ROM for all movements.  :P

re that glute squeezing thing tho, mind tellin me more?

oh, yeah, just that you should make sure you're getting full extension at the top of your squat. not completing the movement does you no favors for all kinds of reasons. squeezing the glutes fully helps ensure you've gotten full extension, without just throwing your hips forward.

Apart from genetics/talent, what other qualities do you see in Casey accomplishing that 6.59?.

Low bodyweight?.
Great elasticity/spring?.

Doesn't look to have great "strength" levels in the purest form of max strength.

Any thoughts?.

Completely insane power. A 135 pound dude has no business owning an effortless 40 inch vertical.

I bet his squat, if he ever squatted (no idea what his training was like) would have been awesome for someone his size.
