Quads are sore, particularly left quad. More so than after last jumping session. Failure to stretch after workout = idiotic. SMR + stretching + cardio + stretching today should help.

adarq, question about stim: how should I do it?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High squat, low VJ?
« on: November 29, 2010, 02:29:44 pm »
First of all, 365 squat at 200 lbs isn't all that great a squat. Nor is 400 DL. Second of all, yes, pure strength training can leave you unexplosive. Take me, for example. Months of Starting Strength got my squat up to 320 and DL up to 360 at 170 lbs. Not great numbers but relatively stronger than your teammate. And I went from barely being able to touch the rim off a full run-up to barely being able to touch the rim off a run-up (my reach is 7'6"). Not to say that didn't provide me with a better base to build athletic improvements on later than I might have had. Just saying focusing on one aspect of vert won't necessarily get you a good vert.

Long story short: getting strong is good but not the whole story. Unless you're a powerlifter.

Paging Gilbert... Plus if he actually shoots someone maybe we can void his contract and spend that money on some better players.

We can probably feed the whole African continent for years. Eradicate hunger. Please Gilbert, shoot!

Um, are you advocating cannibalism of low-level NBA players? Cause that's who Gilbert was threatening to shoot.

god we need a thread on how people play 21 in every state /country.. hah


Maryland: they're called "taps" and it's up 3 down 3. That down to 0 shit is so annoying, makes the game take forever. And there's definitely no D except 1-on-1. Playing help D in 21 is a great way to avoid getting rebounds and therefore to lose.

^^^ Epic freeze frame for the title screen. What the hell are his feet DOING up there?

EDIT: Also, I'm 99% sure I've seen video of Troy Polamalu doing shit like that. Goes to show that you can train like a complete idiot and still be dominant at your sport.

foam roll
stretch

More good jumping. A couple of 31.5, a few more 31, a few more 30.5 and the rest 30. One or two felt like PRs but I don't want to say they were any higher than 31.5. Tucks were okay, pogos were mostly okay, although last set was better than the others. Occurred to me to try dunking a tennis ball at the end, but I was tired at that point and need more height before I get that much of my fingers over the rim anyway. Getting stuffed by the rim with a tennis ball in hand = epic fail. At least there was no one else in the gym. Too happy that last workout's improvement wasn't a fluke to care.

Wednesday = Anniversary with GF = no workout
Yesterday = Thanksgiving = no workout
Today, went a did this sick ropes course with my family, supposedly the biggest and most badass in the US, only one of its kind here. It was really fun. Then I went to the gym and tied (maybe beat) an absolute PR in DLRVJ and did it 3 or 4 times, to boot. CNS was blazing. My phone display was broken earlier today but I got home, plugged it in just now and it started working again, I started shouting in celebration, heard a door slam elsewhere in the apartment, walked into the living room, saw a pair of wine glasses and heard some soft music on and saw my roommate's door closed and laughed at myself for crushing the mood.
 :highfive:

warm up
shoot around -- inconsistent as hell
various stretches

work
sprint x4x15y
1-step x4 -- terrible, 29.5 at best
sprint x1x15y
1-step x4 -- better, 29.5-30
sprint x1x15y
full run-up x4 -- meh
sprint x1x15y
full run-up x4 -- YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES 31.5 YES YES YES YES YES YES

From then on just a bunch more full run-ups, maybe 10 or 12, hitting 31.5 at least twice more and 30.5 several other times. Was super inconsistent, though, CNS was so fired up that at least 4 of the jumps were a complete waste as I got way out of control on the run up and just blew the plant. Got 30 on a couple of those and barely went vertical at all on a couple of others (lol). The whole time I was shaking my head and saying, "It's short, it's so fucking short," to myself over and over.

MR half tucks 3x15
pogos 4x5 -- felt better than any other pogos I've done

I'm starving now. Time for food.

Just to prove to everyone that I'm not so rabidly hateful of TNation that I'm blind to its occasionally worthwhile articles, here is an older one on using eccentric-only training to heal tendinitis. Backed up elsewhere by various people who aren't full of shit and and aren't trying to sell stuff.

Bball game.
Endurance = very good , vert = bad , WTF?
Did only a dropstep at warmups where i got 10'3'' ( 28'' ) and a 2-step jump at half time where i got 10'6'' ( 31'' ).
Those 2 rim jumps not only were low but they also felt 100% unexplosive.
Whatever...

Perhaps...you're tired!

For Tam, if you read this, because I'm not allowed to post in the Q&A section: There's a reason they call him Loliquin. That article didn't make any sense. Looooot of broscience and voodoo comes out of that guy these days.
