Emerald Isle, NC.

Since I'm online anyway, here's what I did yesterday and today (in addition to walking on the beach and swimming in the ocean):

Sunday 8/22 -- biked x6 miles, played tennis x45 minutes, low intensity

Monday 8/23 -- played tennis x60 minutes, low intensity, played kadima x20 minutes, very low intensity.

Forgot my !(*#&$(*& jump rope at home. Oops.

Also, adarq,  :highfive: for the new emoticons.

When I get back from the beach  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Leaving tomorrow, going for a week. Will jump rope, do some bw stuff and some really beginner-level power and reactive stuff (think line hops, SVJ, etc.). Then it's back in action for realz.

Yeah, I could dunk on a 9' rim, too...

You could learn a thing or three about editing techniques from that guy, though  ;)

I think the major difference between me and her is the fact that I don't pull my shoulders back (and the whole back, back) so to speak. So therefore hip extension doesn't occur. I need to focus on letting myself on my back a little more in the pull I GUESS.

EDIT: Listen to LanceSTS, not me. He's smarter than me about this stuff. I still think you're using your arms too much.

yo adarq, what are some good ankle strengthening exercises?

I'm not adarq, but I have been in PT for ankle strengthening for two months now. Here is a quick sample:

Put towel on the floor and put your foot on one end. Curl your toes to pull the towel under your foot until it's all the way under there. Repeat x5. Variation: roll towel up and put it on the ground with your toes right next to it (the towel should be sticking out away from your foot). Pick up the towel with your toes and move it a bit to the inside by rotating your foot. Keep doing that until the towel is all the way in between your legs. Repeat x5.

Stand on one foot for time (30-60s). Stand on one foot while throwing a ball against the wall for reps (10-20). Stand on one foot on a pillow or folded towel while throwing a ball against the wall for reps (10-20). Stand on one foot on a pillow or folded towel with your eyes closed for time (as long as possible). Multiple sets of whichever.

Sit with one foot propped up in the air. Spell out the alphabet in the air with your big toe, using as big a ROM as possible. Then do it backwards. Repeat.

Stand on a step and do calf raises with a 5-second pause at the top, 2x15-20. In between sets, stretch your calves and soleus muscles for 15-20 seconds.

I got tons more where those came from.

Yeah the power cleans look a little more like what I think it's Tony Gentilcore calls "explosive reverse arm curls." It doesn't look like you're pulling yourself under the bar at all so you're curling it up and catching it on your wrists, which is gonna hurt in the long run. Watch this chick do it:

I was sitting in the driver's seat of a car in a parking lot. Not sure what I was doing there. Anyway I was waiting for a while and then I looked down to the right and noticed that there was a lioness in the back seat resting her head on the divider between the front seats. I immediately started freaking out but kept cool externally because she was clearly alive and just resting. Didn't want to spook her. Then we started having a conversation about something. Wish I could remember what. Anyway, the whole time I was thinking, "She's gonna bite my head, she's gonna maul my face!"

Eventually she said it was time for her to go so I opened the door and she slid across my lap, kind of like a snake, onto the floor of the car and onto the ground. As soon as she was all the way outside the car I slammed the door, turned the car on and patched out trying to get out of there as fast as possible.

I was just a little ways down the road when I noticed movement in the back seat, turned around, and there was another lioness back there that hadn't been there before. Started freaking out again but keeping cool. Then I woke up.

I don't like metal for anything else, but for pysching myself up, nothing comes close.
