Today:
Practice x2 hours. Ran all drills, was throwing pretty well, ankle felt solid. Didn't scrimmage at the end until the very end when people were leaving and I just went in in sneakers and jogged. Warm body. Upshot: I'm slow as crap and out of shape but I can do this.
Then
warm up
shoot hoops x10 mins
mobility
work
bench 5x185, 3x195, 5x205 -- should have gotten more but after practice... I'm not too pissed
DB row 3x10x60/ea
cool down
stretch

Yeah, me, too. Haha. The dude is obviously a beast, although 213 at 5.7% is next to impossible without roids.

Basketball / Re: Scottie Pippen - underrated dunker
« on: August 13, 2010, 05:57:16 pm »definitely a hard dunker, but people weren't "awe'd" by his dunks because of his vert.. wasn't as impressive.. it's like if you see scottie pippen vs james white dunk.. james white just blows your mind, scottie pippen just dunks it hard with way less vert.
True, his arms were long as shit so he got away with less vert. Still, he did quite a lot of dunking on fools in his career. That's tight regardless of how high you get up.
And come on, that FT line dunk is awesome.

Hmmmmm. I am sure his team could figure out a way to circumvent the issue...
All kinds of ways to circumvent it, but no guarantee that those ways will work. Look at the whole Greek oly lifting team in Beijing.

For home use, do you prefer the foam roller or the tiger tail, or is each tool superior to the other for certain areas?
Foam roller superior for hamstrings, ITB, glutes and back. Tiger tail superior for quads and lower legs. Sitting or lying with the foam roller close to COG is easy, sitting or lying with it farther away is harder. Quads are probably a wash, actually, now that I think about it. But for lower legs, Tiger Tail ftw.

From my ten minutes or so messing with the thing, it has pluses and minuses.
Pluses: you can really control where you're applying pressure and how much pressure you're applying; it's portable
Minuses: it's awkward to reach and apply enough pressure to some places (hamstrings, for example) because of the angle you have to work with
The upshot is that it seems like a really useful tool with some limitations.

Couple of things:
!) What's an elbow-out DB row? Why is your elbow out?
@) Hiking FTMFW, that sounds like so much fun. At some point in my life I want to live where there are mountains that high, that easily accessible. East Coast has some nice hills and a couple of sort-of-real mountains but they're far away.
#) How are you figuring kcal?

Thanks fellas.
In other news, I used a "Tiger Tail" last night for the first time. Gonna have to get me one of those at some point. For the time being foam roller + lacrosse ball works great but the roller is, um, kind of hard to carry around. I continue to love my gym. Cool people all around.

Willing to bet that if he decided to practice -- and avoided drug tests -- he could shoot for Rezazadeh's C&J record. He could definitely clean that 245 if he wanted, just based on how easily he was picking it up.
