Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: January 17, 2011, 07:13:55 pm »No but really, you're probably either landing weird, using too much quad (break a lot at the knees and very little at the hips) and/or use too high of a box.
You should learn to land first, doing depth drops, and then put in the jump part.
Actually I think this is probably right. I'm heading to the gym in a second, will try a couple of these to see where I break. Hm.

If you suck even more and get injured, we'll know you weren't using proper landing mechanics. Bad, but heck, at least we know something.
Haha, maybe I'll give that a try.

good point, should do that.
BW = idk but I finally bought a scale, it's shipping
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = none
DIET = wack, went to tea with my grandmother and it was sugar city
s4: deload-reactive
- RATING (8/10)
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes x 5
- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
good news: no one on the court, no slipping. bad news: jumps blew, best was 31 at most, nothing else above 30.5, most around 30. crap.
- ME MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
- ME MR pogo: 5 x 5
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
- STRETCH
gym closed before I could get to the dips and pullups.

Wanted to go do ME jumps tonight but there's ball going on so no court. Fuck more depth jumps, I need to go at the rim. I suck at depth jumps. Will sleep well tonight and go tomorrow afternoon.

congrats on that PR and finally getting some good sleep ;d

Haha yeah well I figure it's best to hold myself accountable and note when I've skipped or subbed something. Plus tbh I don't really like your format, so I'm just gonna stick with this.
yesterday:
BW = idk but I finally bought a scale, it's shipping
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right quad was bugging off and on all day
FATIGUE = none
DIET = solid
work
SMR x over an hour
Quad was flipping out for some reason and I've been bad about SMR, so I did a real thorough job, bottoms of feet all the way up to traps. Feet especially were tough. I really like the SMR exercise I found for them, though: Take two tennis balls, find something to hold onto for balance, and just step on the balls, alternating feet and moving them back and forth to hit different spots. Intense and my left foot was a bit pissed right afterward, but feet felt better after that.
Also, I got plenty sleep last night.

Confused. You dunked on 10' with a 7'5.5 reach and 36" RVJ? Does not compute, my reach is .5" higher and I was figuring I'd need 38" to dunk.

Program Review / Re: So which is it? Jump Manual, Vertfreak or Flying in Four?
« on: January 14, 2011, 10:06:00 am »not sure why you guys are your saying flying in four is a scam. I have it, it's legit. I'm pretty sure kelly wrote the workouts. All it is is basically three different 4 week programs, beginner , intermedaite, advanced and it includes a little about stretching , the testing day what to do.
4 inches in 4 weeks...
I would pay for this only if it pertained to increasing my penis length and only if the testimonials were REALLY solid and believable.

« on: January 13, 2011, 03:15:09 pm »8x100 sprints are a TERRIBLE way to produce any kind of physiological quality that you'd want as a sprinter. Terrible.
Well I don't know. But that 8x 100m sprint is a light hill incline about a pace above jog. Described as 70% of sprints speed. I think it's a form of recovery session. Sorry, I didn't explain it earlier.
Oh. Never mind, then.

Strong post, raptor. Strong post.
SMR stands for self-myofascial release. Foam rolling (or PVC rolling) is one way to try to do it.

If JaVale McGee doesn't do that dunk where the kid holds the ball between his elbows, I'm gonna be pissed. On 10' that would be so freaking awesome.
