Basketball / Re: NBA 2016-2017 Season
« on: December 07, 2016, 01:29:25 am »warriors are currently on pace to be the most offensively efficient team in history. i was a little bit of a durant skeptic, thinking that maybe he would gum up what was already a great machine. boy was i wrong.
It seems like they are clicking great lately, but i'm still worried about them come playoff time.
Last year it seemed GSW spent so much energy winning everything in the regular season, that come playoff time they looked pretty drained.. those Curry injuries didn't help much either. But they seemed like two different teams.
They have so many weapons now though - with the addition of Durant.. On paper this team looks like a lock for the 2016-2017 title.. but i dno, i'd still lean towards Cleveland.
Tangent:
I'd like to see OKC vs GSW in the playoffs ... I just want to see WB go nuts against Durant.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Water Loss Techniques
« on: December 07, 2016, 12:19:06 am »
Something I just posted in my journal:
so yeah.. (If accurate/legit) For a very quick attempt at some minimal but significant water loss, a very hot shower can do the job.
I'm going to try it again tomorrow morning and keep track of the exact time for hot/cold & exactly how much weight I lose.. Just really curious.
edit: Morning experiment
before: 149.6
15 minutes: 10 hot, 5 cold
after: 148.0

11:30 PM: bloated af right now (154 lb.)
11:45 PM - 12 AM: ~15 minutes total: mostly a very hot shower, finishing with very cold for ~3-5 minutes
12 AM: 152 lb.
that's crazy.
I used to use hot showers to shed some extra water weight for dunking but I didn't remember how much you could lose in such a short period of time... it probably helps that i'm carrying EXCESS water weight from my lack of activity today (REST) and my diet choices.

« on: December 07, 2016, 12:15:14 am »fuck, i want a milkshake.
that milkshake looks ridiculous right?
when you're done drinking it.. there are these huge chunks of salted caramel at the bottom.. so you pop the lid off and chug those down and chomp on em`.
I love cookies & cream shakes but those salted caramel chunks usually sway me.. Cookies and Cream shakes taste 'cleaner' to me though.

might have to go to mcdonald's soon. or maybe buy some ice cream and just do it myself. they don't know how to make milkshakes in this country.
i've been craving those McD's Frap's for a long time.. but I haven't caved.
That oreo blizzard (mcflurry) is dope too.
If you decide to go......... enjoy

interesting though.. I wanted to run tomorrow's race @ ~145 lb.. that's definitely not going to happen.. could be around ~148 lb. though, that'd be good.

« on: December 06, 2016, 10:42:46 pm »Ok....stupid stats in here....
https://www.google.com/amp/www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/2016/12/6/13854272/klay-thompson-highlights-stats-scoring-60-points?client=ms-android-uscellular-us
i was going to quote some stuff from the article but... people should just read the article. some crazy stats/info in there.
ya I remember when Kobe scored 60 by the third.. I think I had NBA League pass back then because I tore my calf playing basketball.. was addicted to basketball during that time. I remember Kobe went off, like ten+ 50+ pt games or something nutty. That's also when Arenas was on GSW? Wish he had stayed on GSW, they had a sick squad back then.
Klay's 60 with so much efficiency is just mind blowing.. He hit a few crazy difficult shots too tho, not everything was clean open.. especially that one turnaround 3 fading out of bounds lmao.
One of the best interviews i've seen too (that one moment).. Curry poors ice on him, interviewer asks him if that cooled him down, and he goes "Nope. Still hot." (/mic drop).

klay thompson 60 points in 29 minutes..........
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQaGX4-Sfvg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQaGX4-Sfvg</a>
i remember Kobe had 60 by the end of the third quarter once (or more).. but I think Klay did it faster and had the ball much less.. apparently he had the ball for 89 seconds? wtf?

nice! man i miss rings. so much pump.
it's not so bad tbh.. the worst part about basketball is the injuries. i'm very injury prone so basketball just became a big downer injury wise. I missed basketball until my vert started eventually going way up, then I didn't miss it at all.. dunking becomes a new sport. lul.
but ya could be hard for you to train vert without playing basketball. luckily for me it was easy.
nice!!
Still want to keep my eye on vert training but don't know how I'm going to go with the way my body has been responding. Unless that is I train purely for dunking without actually playing any basketball. That kinda sucks though.

*edit- will definitely be keeping the T0ddday squatting elements as this pushed my squat faster than anything I have tried before.
