I think I missed a SP workout. Will have to go back and double-check. EDIT: Nope, didn't. Anyway, this week hasn't really provided the relief I'd been hoping for work-wise, but at least volleyball was canceled at the gym tonight, so I got to jump at the rim. Jumps weren't extraordinarily high, but they felt smooth and I was consistently getting 30", nothing lower, and maybe 2 30.5".

warm up
shoot hoops
sprinter's warm ups
few tuck jumps

work
15y sprint x4, then
superset x5 -- ended up with about 15 1-step jumps and 8 full run-up jumps
1-step x4, alternate with full run-up x4
15y sprint x1
couple more 1-step jumps
tuck jump 2x20
pogo 2x5
bench 3x5x155 -- form was tight
BOR 3x8x135 -- form tight on 1st and 3rd sets, kind of weak in 2nd
core x3
--ab rollouts x20
--side plank x30s/ea
--poor man's reverse hyper x10

cool down
stretch

let's take a 200lb guy, 20% bf, trying to lose weight.

6 twinkies = 900 cal, 162g carbs, 27g fat, 6g protein
7 protein shakes = 840 cal, 14g carbs, 14g fat, 161g protein

total = 1740 cal, 176g carbs, 49g fat, 167g protein

my post on another forum:

awesome, a professor who was 33% fat got down to 24% eating far less than maintenance kcal consisting of junk, who cares Smile

a calorie is not just a calorie, a gram of carb (especially sugar) has a very different effect on the body than a gram of protein. Hormonally, junk is not something we should be consuming if we want to get strong, shredded, and actually put on mass. Sure he lost some body fat, but we're athletes, not fat f**k professors who have alot of bodyfat to lose.. Junk food diets typically don't do well with performance athletes, it leaves them less alert & less motivated to compete. I guarantee you that, these stupid studies would be alot different if you look at someone trying to go from 15% BF to 6% bodyfat. A caloric deficit wouldn't mean (expletive), the body would try to keep fat (which would happen easily due to all the sugars/sat fat you're eating), and you'd actually lose lean mass.. so sure, your BMI would go down, but you'd lose mass and become relatively fatter.

I hate that stupid study Smile

peace

Yes and no. Caloric deficit always matters if you're trying to lose weight. If you're trying to get from 15% to 6%, you still have to be in a deficit. It just becomes that much more important to get enough protein and keep lifting, for maintenance of muscle mass. Obviously, I'm not saying a junk food diet + protein is optimal for anyone at any time. I'm just saying that if you want to lose weight, caloric deficit matters.

steven-miller's next project is to get really really fast by doing nothing but double-legged bounds.  :P

That's tight dude. My cousin went to Blair and graduated in 08'; her name is Jaya Kannan...sound familiar? Were you in the science & math magnet?

Nah, I'm too old.  :D

Was in the other magnet, CAP. Lots of friends in math/sci magnet, though.

Ha nice man. You are getting a bit heavy again  :P

I see you do those single arm db bench as well. What the advantage to them compared to regular db bench?

just to even out any imbalances, for myself especially, my right arm is MUCH stronger, for example, i can standing 1 arm OHP 40 lb x ~8+ with right arm, 0 left arm... so ya btw it's standing 1-arm OHP, not bench press, i have no bench ;d

peace

Bro, unilateral exercises are no better than bilaterals for evening out imbalances. Don't you know anything?

sick dunks man! is that takoma in dc or takoma park in md? did you go to hs in moco?

Thanks man! It's the Takoma Middle School in MD (i.e. Takoma Park). I went to Blair for HS. Takoma is about 2.5 blocks from where I grew up.

This shit is apples and oranges.

Why not just do both and reap the benefits they provide?

If you're an athlete(that involves running), and you want to only do bilateral work, it will catch up to you.

IMO, there's no point attacking a single 'method' b/c of what it lacks. No single 'method' is all inclusive to get you strong, powerful, fast, and ripped, etc. Use each 'method' what it's meant for.

Comparing lunges and squats is retarded. You can do max effort squats, but why the fuck would you do max effort lunges?


This.

i agree with Flander :D

Darq, i think you should take into account that your tendons/ligaments/cartilaginous tissues and fascia(correct me if i'm wrong) heal and take longer to recover than the muscles. my point is, you might feel ok in terms of soreness and cns fatigues, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening

just a thought..

You're giving advice to a brick wall, fellas.

REA squats with 143 lbs is ridiculous. I can barely do them with 95 and I'm probably only doing them well when the weight gets down to 75.

LBSS, you hear about this book through defranco? He often remarks how all the stretching techniques he learned were from the Fredricks.

Adarq, have you ever tried the rectoris femoris/psoas stretch kelly baggett recommends?

Nah, saw it recommended on Lyle's forum. Probably by Lyle, actually, now that I think about it. But if Lyle likes it and DeFranco likes it, you can be pretty sure it's a badass book.

Today I jumped out of a plane at 13,500 feet. No workout.

Welcome to my world. This week I skipped a couple workouts because I literally didn't have time in the day to eat. Ironically my Sunday journal entry was about how much more I've been eating lately. Musical rehearsals at school shot that down. I'm hardly home right now.

That's rough, man. Makes me think of that old Checkers commercial:

You gotta eat.
What are you do-in'?
Said who do you think you are?
You won't get far.
You gotta eat.
Checkers.
