For the pass few week, I train my ball skin and practice Jump technique whenever the is no rain regardless of the heat. Skipping lunch I drink skim milk powder mixed to give me protein and i weight train every day. I guess my stomach is not use to the powder shit, and I have to go to Poo like every time finish my drink, nothing too serious and it come out easy lol.
May be this is the reason for the Grape.... And I researched a little online and found out it is common among body builder who eat alot to gain weight. Also I read that once u got it, u have to be-careful with squat.
Anyway... I still went to squat today but did not do crazy heavy stuff.

Hey man just wanted to say I always react in a similar fashion - one realization of something I was doing wrong and all of a suddenly it's X months of training down the drain. That's just not true. Maybe training wasn't optimal, but you couldn't have learned what you learned without that experience. Your time is never wasted. Thinking like that can be really mentally draining. Things get much easier what you can take a step back and analyze without beating yourself up.

What happened? I don't see a mention of hip issues in your earlier posts.
Also I want to check out those squat vids, can you make them public?

« on: October 21, 2012, 08:26:06 pm »If I remember right, one of your knees used to bug you. Any issues with that recently?
Hey long time. Yeah my right knee sometimes acts up. I've kind of figured out how to keep it under control. I used to do daily treadmill walking which was a problem. But with discussing it adarqui and others I realised I wasn't well hydrated when I was doing those walks in the morning. So i've been drinking more water before fasted TM. That has helped. The inner bro-scientist things it lubricates the joints or something like that. The other thing which I think has made a difference is i've dropped the incline from 2 to 1. I just do much longer sessions now which is probably better for fat loss anyway. Like 20-40mins compared to the paltry 7-10mins I used to do.
In terms of lifting - my technique was a problem. I was bouncing off my knees at the bottom of a squat. I have fixed that now by using my self-discovered cue of bringing the bar down into my ankles. When It goes there, there is no tension on my knees and I can bounce of the hole pain free. So these two things have made a huge difference.
Forgot to mention. The other big change I made was ceasing high bar squats. I like them, just doing them AND front squats, it's a bit redundant. And together they probably beat up my knees way too much. So now I do a PC dominant squat which is much easier on the knees while continuing with front squats which I love.
Having said that, i'm going to get a pair of Rehband knee sleeves. I don't have massive robust knee joints, so for someone like me, not genetically predisposed to heavy lifting, prevention is better than regret later. So i'll get some knee sleeves and keep my knees nice and warm and secure while I do my shitload of squatting (50 reps, 3x a week!).
Cool, I like that bar over the ankles cue.
The reason I ask is because I have similar issues with my left knee. The majority of the problem is form for me. I've taught myself to be so quad dominant since I started squatting it's a real battle to get the PC working. It sounds stupid because it's so obvious but I really have to focus on getting my hammies and glutes working. Right now, it's not natural for them to engage out of the hole, so I have a lot of work to do.

Your journal is one of my favorites to read. I actually like the length of your posts. They give a lot of detail and explain your interpretation of what's going on as you train. For example I struggle in a similar way with the BS and thanks to your analysis am now inclined to try FS'ing once I am able to comfortably do legs again. Keep up the hard work!

« on: June 21, 2012, 06:52:31 am »Game sucked. My team mates played like pussies, not much more to say.
I think you owe it to yourself to quit the team. The one friend you don't want to disappoint...well, you don't owe him anything. Tell him what the deal is and hopefully he will understand where you're coming from. If he doesn't then that's his problem. You gotta put yourself first.
Took a look at those videos with the shooting technique. My view on that (for what it's worth) is everyone has a unique style to shooting; whatever feels comfortable. As long as you can be consistent with your form I don't think there's any reason to try and change it.

testing rant..
man this is the best i've felt in months.. legs, mind, everything.. which is very interesting considering how i've been sleeping lately
^a(get) addjournal|^e
in the last 5 days, i've only slept when i feel incredibly tired.. i have not forced myself to sleep at all.. for example, in the last 2 days, i only slept one hour.. a one hour nap.
last night i slept 4 hours.. watching heat game, i just passed out.
i've been feeling pretty good sleeping this way.. this is basically a modification to the "4-5 hours sleep per night experiment".. i'd find that, come 7-8 am, i would be very alert, yet i would force myself to sleep.. and when i woke up, i felt horrible..
now, i only sleep when i absolutely cannot stay awake any longer.. which seems to have me experiencing some very vivid dreams again.
going to keep this up for a while, it makes so much sense.
pc
Interesting with the sleep...
I've been waking up around 4am consistently (usually get up at 6:30) and feel ready to get up. I just don't know what I'd do and end up going back to sleep the sleep so I don't crash at like 8 that night. I might try just getting up once though and see how it goes. There must be a reason why I keep waking up so early (body rested?).

Can you bail on that team?
I know you're shopping around for teams more at your level but it sounds like those guys are really bringing you down. I'm sure you enjoy the organized play, counted points, refs calling fouls, shit like that...But is it really worth it? With your knees acting up the amount of time you can ball hard is reduced and I think you would benefit more from doing some solo drills.

Nice jumps, looking really good.
I think your screenshot for the SLRVJ is not your highest point. Looks like you're coming down a bit as you touch the rim...anyone else see it?
