That slow mo dunk was nice man..really nice extension on it...you were actually descending when you attempted the dunk which looked pretty dope...You're an inspiration man..you train hard and you get good results.

I slacked a whole lot this week with my eating...gonna clean it up for the last few days before Christmas and just maintain over Christmas...Once i'm back in the New Year after this short recovery break i'm gonna be ready to kill it. I wanna catch up to where you are by the end of the year.
Goals by May 2011

1. Squat 120kg x 8

It's great seeing you're getting much more consistent on your jumps.
Dunk session was NICE, about a month ago you'd have one of those each session, now they're all sweet and powerfull.

I still feel that shit is quite monotomous though and I'd be bored after throwing down 5 of those in a row.
Cmonson, lean one in or throw in a bit of variation and you'll see that these basic dunks get easier too, that's what happened for me anyway, don't you want to throw in reverse pumps nd shit? (since you were hating on those people on your back to throw down 360s)
All it takes is a bit of technique, a bit of practise and you'll be having even more fun ( I think, you's a weird cat though so I'm prob wrong lmao).
All I'm saying is vartiation; trying reverses and dunks from different angles etc, helped my standard dunks and it made things easier for dunking in games (which I still rarely do, just saying, I feel I can cause of the variation though).

Also, plz jump 4 top of ? next time

All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

i stopped eating the chocolates lying around the house yesterday, can't wait until new years lol ;0 cleaned up diet alot yesterday/today, we'll see how long it lasts, but it's funny i was 153 (instead of 154-155) this morning after cleaning up diet for just one day and getting a bit more walking volume in.

you're wrong CURRENTLY, if i'm jumping 45+ then i'll love doing btl's, windmills, reverses, 360's, etc.. but it's like trying to showoff to the chicks while driving a volkswagon beetle, i need a lambo :)

ya i got to do some of those jumps for top of square, i'd be 4-5" inches under it on a close to peak jump, i imagine.

took some pics to see how my depth changes during the 315's, currently rendering a vid, 14min33s video hah.. using damien's techniques for rendering misc-footage, renders much quicker, this render is going to take 1-1.5 hours versus 12 hours with after effects.

here's generally when the reps occured, this is actually before i unrack the bar:

0:20
1:40
3:12
4:30
6:05
7:50
9:25
11:00
12:30
14:00 fail


reps in succession, nice depth imo for my half squatting:

12/18/2010

bw = 153
soreness = calfs
aches/injuries = left achilles a little (slightly tweaks feeling randomly, yet not when doing light sprints)
fatigue = moderate
diet = protein shake, egg sandwhich + protein shake + 2 bananas, half protein shake, training, half protein shake, protein shake + PB burrito + a few chocolates (FML)


workout:
- 8 mile traversed
- very light sprints (50-100 strides) mixed in
- felt nice and soft/bouncy most of the time


recovery:
- 20min drain (legs up)
- felt so good after ;d


well, felt achy/tired today, but it's ok, resting tomorrow (sunday) also.. will get back to dunks & squat monday..

tomorrow night will hopefully be ~6 mile walk with maximal 10-20's mixed in, that's if achilles feels good.. if it doesn't, ill just walk no sprinting.. itll feel alot better tomorrow i imagine.


here's some MSEM from last night:


some of those had some nice depth.. funny thing is, start out pretty shitty, picked up around rep 4.. good considering all of the prior work.. i should be more fresh monday when i msem, going for 325+ most likely then a 20rep attempt finisher after the msem sets.

tested new rendering technique for my misc footage, thanks to damien, i think the footage actually came out great! looks really good compared to my AE raw-render of MSEM.. 3 hours vs 12 hours render time.


peace

You should try a detox sometime. Maybe it'll help you drop weight. Some years ago my brother did some sort of one week detox. He didn't particularly enjoy it and the day he started eating hardy meals again he threw up a couple times, but it worked for him. At first he lost some weight, but afterward he packed on muscle faster than he had before. He's actually about 5 lbs. lighter than me. I have way too much leg muscle over him for his upper body to keep up with my weight, but before he moved out of the house he was over 160 I think, but he was ripped and still maintained super low bodyfat.

thanks for the advice man, ya i've never done a "detox", i've only changed my diet up radically a few times.. feels good temporarily..

yes, need to sharpen it more though.
