While it's impossible to know how many students disobey BYU's honor code, which prohibits fornication and alcohol use, among other things, the honor code violations that come to light almost always involve student-athletes. And they almost always involve athletes of color. Since 1993, according to our research, at least 70 athletes have been suspended, dismissed, put on probation, or forced to withdraw from their teams or the school after running afoul of the honor code. Fifty-four of them, or nearly 80 percent, are minorities. Forty-one, or almost 60 percent, are black men.

correlation does not equal causation brother it's as simple as that



what? is trhat supposed to be you? monkey see monkey post?

What I like about this is that they didn't really "let him" get his baskets, he really put work on that. You can clearly see he has the skill.

makes some nice passes, too.

He could dunk on other presidents. That would be cool. But Putin would put him down in Judo. He ain't a president though.

yeah but putin still runs russia


i'd rather obama focus on more important things than basketball though just to be honest...lets see him play ball and reduce this deficit

What is the difference between having your toes elevated on a box as opposed to just having the feet on the ground in plantar-flexion phase?.

More ROM. With your toes elevated, the starting point of the rep can begin in dorsiflexion as opposed to a neutral position (defined here as soles of feet being parallel to the floor) if you don't have them elevated.


Btw, did calf raises today for the first time in 2 years. WOWWW I miss them! With my toes elevated, of course ;)

What volume and reps per set?

20 sets of 3000

So when doing weighted calf raises, with the goal of trying to improve vertical jump...

Should the principles of reactive strength and RFD be applied here as well?

Should each rep be performed by dropping down, catching yourself and exploding up as fast as possible?

probably not since you get that through your plyos and jumping...i think the idea is to just strengthen the muscles through progressive overload just like squats...just work on getting the weight up on the lift like any other...tinker with it all later
