I'm a little jealous at how consistent you are jumping bro!

thanks man, shit is going good right now i got to keep it up.. peaking come dec 14 so, gotta stay focused and heal up my damn ankle, its bugging me.






Sweet ass on that chick in the blue jeans, 2nd pic. Nice jumping too btw hahaha.

ya she was alright, but, i felt like a damn pedo coz of this other chick.. she was like 16 or so, but honestly, one of the finest chicks i ever seen.. 16 years old, mixed black n white, redonkulous.. i was like, 'walk by my cam, wait wut, dont think like that, no seriously walk in front of my cam'.. then she walked behind it not to disturb the dunking.. lol, sounds disturbing coming from a 28 year old bUT MAN WHAT THE FUCK WHATEVER.





2nd that^^ making it count in front of the ladies aye darq!

i jump higher when females are around, no joke..








lol @ dagger's pic.. that dude does look like me.

will post vid of dunks/squats tomorrow.. takes so long to render/upload videos with squats in them, cause of the duration.


12/05/2010
bw = 155
soreness = calfs a little

aches/injuries = right ankle (think its a peroneal tendon, it's a combo of fatigue from those 35 ME jumps then squatting that night, but the squatting is what 'injured' it, because i felt it directly during squat tonight), left lower back a little

diet = protein shake + 1 tspn coffee, dunks/jumps, protein shake, black beans and rice + nacho chips + salsa, cake, protein shake + squatting, protein shake, pb sandwhich on double fiber bread

fatigue = low




workout #1: jumps/dunks
- decided to bring my grandpa with me, trying to get him out of the house... major fail, did not turn out well.. as soon as we got to the court, he said he wanted to leave, lol.. so i just went right into a few warmup jumps then started doing max jumps, so basically no warmup.. 15-20min total session, about 10 dunk attempts.
- felt very powerful
- ankle bugged before going to the court but i massaged the outside of my ankle and it felt better, didn't feel it during dunk session which is a good sign.. but afterwards, it was bugging me.



workout #2: afletic strenf.
- half squat: 45 @ 5 x 10,     135 @ 5, 5,     185 @ 5,    225 @ 5,     245 @ 5,      265 @ 10, 10, 10, 10, 10        235 @ 20



depth was good overall, felt very strong..




icing my ankle tonight, so far, twice.. will ice it a ton tomorrow.. tomorrow will probably be full rest.. tuesday will be some short sprints/double leg bounds probably, wednesday will be dunks/jumps + squatting... so basically getting in two days rest before wednesdays' session.. if my ankle is bugging on tuesday too, ill probably just walk, lots of icing.. hopefully it's fine by wednesday though, if it's not that would be really annoying.

for squat on wed, plan on hitting: 295-305 x 5, then 265-275 @ 5 x 10.. if 265, ill try to finish the sets faster than i did today.. will probably end up doing that, then the session after, go for 275 @ 5 x 10 & 245 x 20.

ok ok,

peace (it's 7am my time, icing my ankle one more time before a really big sleep, probably 10 hours ;d)







this is how we do it on livechat, and ya i know we need to fix the %'s lol:

12/06/2010

bw = 155
soreness = none (edit: abs are sore, forgot about that, from the ME DL bounds)
aches/injuries = right ankle (much better than yesterday), low-left back, achy all over though too
fatigue = low
diet = protein shake, half bag green beans (alot) + broccoli + cheeseburger on whole wheat, training, protein shake, protein shake + pb sandwhich on whole wheat


training: recovery
- 7 mile walk with very light interval sprints mixed in
- whole body felt pretty achy but still i feel strong.. didn't feel it one bit in right ankle during this training so that's very good, felt it after though.

iced 2 times, needed to do more.. must ice more tomorrow.

Yo Adarq,
You've probably answered this a hundred times...but how come you squat so high?
Your bodyweight/strength levels look about the same as mine..you're probably a little bit more lean and stronger but not too far apart...what do you find is the best diet for really increasing strength while maintaining weights or having small near 100% lean gains?
Goals by May 2011

1. Squat 120kg x 8
2. Deadlift 140 kg x 1
3. Jump Hang-snatch 70kg

Yo Adarq,
You've probably answered this a hundred times...but how come you squat so high?

because I train only for vert, so I like to "squat" in a style very specific to how I jump, if you look at my DLRVJ jumps, you'll see that my half squat technique and my joint angles (hip, knee, ankle) in the plant line up pretty good.. that specificity results in considerable transfer imo. Regardless, my body is not built to squat deep, I have very long legs in relation to my torso length (SHR - seated height to standing height ratio), so I get significant hamstring/glute recruitment at a half squat depth, no need to go lower.

well, i like to keep my diet very simple, not alot of variety.. if you check my journal I have diet= in each post, so you can check what I eat, but, what I find most effective for gaining strength while maintaining body composition:
- high protein diet
- zigzagging carb intake (higher carb the day before important training, low to moderate carb the day of), ie, lots of carb before day of dunking/squatting, lower carb day of (most of the carbs right after training in PWO shake)
- making sure "cardio" is not neglected, regardless of diet, there needs to be significant kcal burning throughout the week, for myself, that comes from dunk sessions and walking+intervalsprint sessions
- per weekly, making sure not to eat far more kcal than i'm burning, regardless of everything listed, this is important for the fat loss aspect of things.. protein intake has to be high for lean mass gain, but consuming way too much kcal in the form of carbs/fat is going to result in fat gain, regardless of everything else.. so "bulking" is out of the question.

I don't eat optimal though, and I do put on fat pretty easy because of all the whole milk I drink.. If I were to eat completely optimal (which I don't because of monetary reasons), I'd get much more of my protein from chicken and eat a ton more spinach/broccoli/cauliflower. For example, instead of protein shakes throughout the day, i'd have more chicken+veggy meals. I'd reserve protein shakes to my breakfast meal, peri-workout nutrition, and post-workout shake, nothing more.

peace man

Cool, that makes sense...I approach my diet pretty much the same way..I like cooking so I do mix it up a bit but yeah for the most part high protein, moderate carbs, moderate fat. I'll jump up my carb intake before an important training and after lower leg strength days...

Jumps and numbers are looking good ! I'm gonna have to go back through some threads to get a feel for the forum and stuff but it's good to be here...some like minded motherfuckers on here huh??
