If you're white, you'd be better off ignoring your upper body...

You were doing better for a while, training, and actually making decent posts.  why are you acting like an idiot fuck again harvey?

I'm trying to make a point. If you want to make it somewhere as a basketballer, your priority should be jumping above anything else physically.

So that when you start playing some high-level ball, you can jump for joy over 50 times without losing height because somebody who put in the work in the weightroom is boxing you out and bullying you in the low post? Lol.

You don't even play basketball, bro, you play volleyball, so let me tell you that basketball is a physical sport, man, your body and how compact and leanly muscled it is incredibly important. Not just jumping.

These dudes look tiny on TV, but if you go up to them in real life they're completely packed with muscle. Even someone like Stephen Curry is more muscled than you think he'd be.

As for OP, I'd say the routine is fine, just keep adding weight.

I have played basketball. At the national level too, might I add. The point I'm making is that the priority shouldn't be upper body. As important as it is.

aw, vag, i was trying to be gentle. anyway, yes. either the director of australian volleyball is deluded or harvey misheard. the bald guy is one of the best beach volleyball players ever, fwiw. he and his partner are defending olympic champs. watched them whup a japanese team yesterday despite playing badly.

Come on , you know i love exaggerating to a graphic point.  :P
I searched the guy before i posted the previous post, i know who he is and i highly respect ANY olympic athlete , even more the top ones like himself.
I am also sure the director knew what he was talking about, it just wasn't what harvey posted. Maybe it was local numbers in Australia , maybe it was the most watched event the day that it happened etc.
The thread topic remains hilarious!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:


I think he said specifically at the past two Olympics or something along those lines. Regardless of Olympic viewership, volleyball is the 2nd most 'popular' sport in the world and the largest in terms of people playing with over 50 million playing volleyball every week.

is that true or did you make it up? my extremely brief google search showed that, based on the number of articles published about each type of event, the most "popular" summer olympics sport was athletics by a long way; volleyball was 16th. http://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/popular-sport/olympics.htm.

not hating, i like watching volleyball a lot. have you seen viewership data? can you send it? i'm genuinely curious.

The combination of the two disciplines, indoor and beach combine to be the most viewed overall sport, I believe. At least, that's what I was told by the director of Volleyball Australia.

Volleyball / Volleyball is the Olympics' most watched sport
« on: July 28, 2012, 07:27:17 pm »
Beach and indoor are, by far, the most watched Olympic sports. More people watch these sports than the athletics or the swimming or the basketball. For those of you who want to see some ridiculous jumping, I'd encourage you to take a look at the USA beach team, in particular Phil Dalhausser. One of the best athletes in the world, IMO.





Can't wait to see world ranked 22 Australia cause some upsets in the indoor discipline. Who's keen for the volleyball? :p

A long time if you're squatting twice a week only. Even longer to get to 35".

As long as you're balling somewhat regularly, the most important thing for you is to get bigger (put on weight) and to increase your squat numbers. Get big, get strong, jump high.

Love that site you put up to log your training!  :highfive:
You could make a "light" page that is auto-fed with every training day in a blog format , or any other format, the main idea is that besides the main page there would be a distinct address for each training day, and you could just post the link in here. You could keep the site offline or private and just let the "lifting numbers blog" online.
Or you could just keep it up like now and update us with milestones.
Good work, keep it up.

Thanks, it takes sometimes 30 minutes to update it as it is (it's all hard coded so I have to edit documents) so I'd rather not put it online. I will just update everyone every now and again. :)

I used to play INTENSE bball for 2-3 hrs without any kind of carbs or protein.  I did have a large reserve of glycogen and fat.  Was that still very bad and did that cause me to burn lots of muscle?

Quite possibly. I feel the most important times to be eating a fuckload of food is before and directly after ANY training session. Regardless of length. While some would argue that 2-3 hours is fine, I would look to eat (praps a protein shake) half way through that session.

What the others said. If you want to see how high you can be jumping right now, stop lifting weights.

The next 2 weeks should consist of jumping every day (doesn't have to be heaps, just high intensity) for the first week. Then on the second week, jump every other day. Then rest for 2 days. THEN test your vertical.

Hey man. I'm logging everything on an offline website. Here's what it looks like.



Training's going great lately because I've just made a huge RVJ PR, which, at the end of the day, is my goal. My RVJ is at 35" and I need that up to around 37-38 by the end of the year. I'm now heavier than ever at around 81kg. Perhaps I've grown taller, not sure.

Squat-wise, wouldn't be too impressive. As an 'elite' volleyballer, I'm constantly travelling for tournaments and whatnot so it's hard for me to sustain a long period of lifting. I seem to be making some strength gains, then going on tour for 2 weeks, coming back and trying to get that strength back. So, I don't think my numbers would have improved a whole lot. Last I remember, I did 110kg 2x3. I really want to get that up to 115-120x5 in the next couple of months.

So yes, training's going excellent. Thanks for asking.

Less power but a more effective utilisation of the power they do produce. And you can't really say it's less power because it's still a high amount of power, the only difference being that it's related to their height/weight.
