That's a nice knife.  I like the looks and style.

I prefer 'survival' style knives.  Fixed blade, full tang, real hard steel (for batoning wood and stuff).  Always carry one when I go hiking, with a firesteel attached.  Never know when you're gonna need it!  (a few years ago, a random innocent dude got knifed super bad by a crazy at the top of a hike).

that thing looks really nice. i have a pretty nice juvenile delinquent switch blade that costed like 50 and this 3 inch "gerber" one from wal mart lol

lol @ gerber knife!! hah


Quote
but that thing you got looks like the blade and handle is a lot more well designed and sturdy and just bad ass. how longs the blade?

ya man it's weighted perfectly, you get a really strong grip on it.. 3" blade i think, 3-3.2" from the actual start of the blade.

i wouldnt mind having a nicer non automatic one. with the laws about automatic knives and all plus i think automatic knives wear out and are less dependable.

well, this knife isn't automatic, it's "assisted", or something.. i dno i've done a ton of searching on it, seems this is actually legal to carry anywhere.. auto is like switch blades, where the blade comes right through into a dangerous position from the start.. like u could point a switch blade into skin, hit the button, and it would go through..

dno tho i could be wrong but that's the info i got on it while searching auto vs assisted knife, and florida knife laws.

ya those are nice, couldn't do much with it around here tho, would be illegal to carry here. but ya if im going hiking im taking a knife + gun hah.

felt like box squatting today but then decided nahhhhhh F that.. too sexy for this box.




hoops are 10' in this 24 hour fitness, whoop! good shit






"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word.

"BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU MUST WORK VERY HARD, VERY SMART, AND NEVER QUIT.





2/3/2011

bw = 153
soreness = hamstrings, quads
aches/injuries = big toe slightly after squatting
fatigue = high
diet = gatorade + 2 ibuprofen + protein shake, 2 spicy chicken sandwiches from wendy's & some fries, training + protein shake, protein shake + gatorade + 2 ibuprofen, turkey & cheese sandwhich + gatorade + 2 ibuprofen


tired of taking ibuprofen, toe is getting better but, ibuprofen is definitely helping..


printed a free pass on the net and worked out in _24 hour fitness_ lol..


workout: bball/jumps + lifts
- bball stuff/a few jumps
- half squat: 45 @ 3 x 10, 135 x 8, 185 x 8, 225 x 5, 245 x 5, 265 x 5, 285 x 5, 305 x 3 (4=fail)
-- ^^^^ heels elevated too high, their 5 lb plates were too thick, 2.5's were same thickness.. need to work that out next time, might bring oly shoes.
- S1: 45deg hyper: BW x 40, BW + 25 lb x 20, 20, 20, BW x 40
- S1: neutral grip pullups: BW @ 10, 10, 10, 8, 8, 8

just glad i'll have access to 45deg hyper if i sign up there :) felt so weak on it actually, surprised, felt weak all over tho so maybe its nothing.

jumps maybe 34-35 max on a few, mostly did dribbling/shooting, and some nice L-SLRVJ's (getting rim good on layups).






i might actually go back tomorrow too and lift the same pretty much, except, hit db bench instead of pullups :D

peace!








ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.



IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

so maybe my bad luck is finally turning around.. after bumping my knee, i called kodak, they said they'd fix my kodak playsport, just have to send it to them.. then i signed up for gym membership at 24 hour fitness.. and well that's it ;d


weak jump, only filmed 2... that's what going from 325 x 5 half squat to 305 x 3 will do to me, over 2 weeks (because of flu/toe):




pimpin black mid's, on top of double softball high's, pimpin.










"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word.

"BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU MUST WORK VERY HARD, VERY SMART, AND NEVER QUIT.



02/04/2011

bw = 153
soreness = hamstrings, glutes, quads
aches/injuries = bumped right knee in the car - hurt sooooo bad haha, got a lump/cut it open a bit.. then i hit it again, same spot, on some wooden thing.. iced it before going to workout, felt fine during training, more of a flesh wound.
diet = protein shake + gatorade + 2 ibuprofen, egg and cheese sandwhich on multigrain bread, bag of chocolate almonds, training + protein shake, protein shake + gatorade + 2 ibuprofen, turkey & cheese sandwich + gatorade + small amount of trail mix (so good)
fatigue = moderate


workout 1A: basketball/jumps/dribble up dunks
- 1 hour worth
- felt pretty good except for glutes really fatiguing. felt good tho
- any time i wanted, L-SLRVJ layups with good rim touch, nice
- DLRVJ's mixed in, some ok jumps, nothing special
- 10+ dribble up dunk attempts mixed in, started jumping better towards the end, had some close ones
- vert will be coming back, hopefully by next friday

workout 1B: strenf
- half squat: 45 @ 3 x 10, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 245 x 1,1,1, 265 x 1,1,1 285 x 1,1 305 x 1,1 315 x 1,1
--- glutes dying ^^^
- DB bench: 40 lb @ 2 x 10, 50 lb x 10 (last rep = pause ~20s then press)
- 45deg hyper: 45, 45, 35, 35, 30 <- hams/glutes toast


edit: IT FELT GREAT TO PUT 3 PLATES ON THE BAR AGAIN ;D

so, two days in a row squatting, legs felt murdered during this leg workout.. good stuff.. by the end, quads/hams/glutes were all trashed..

i want to squat again tomorrow, 10x10 possibly.. then rest sunday (superbowl), then hit mon/tues/wed, rest thur, and finally go for a big dunk session again on friday..



bodyweight is doing good lately.. seems like it's about to drop bigtime.


peace!


ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.



IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word.

"BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU MUST WORK VERY HARD, VERY SMART, AND NEVER QUIT.



02/05/2011

bw = 152
soreness = very sore, hamstrings (mostly), glutes, quads
aches/injuries = bump from yesterday under right knee
diet = protein shake + gatorade + 2 ibuprofen, egg and cheese sandwhich on multigrain bread + banana + trail mix, training + protein shake, protein shake + gatorade + 2 ibuprofen, peanutbutter sandwich + banana
fatigue = high


workout 0: grandpa deadlifts
- 1 rep


workout 1A: basketball/jumps/dribble up dunks
- 1 hour worth
- DLRVJ's/dunks towards the end



workout 1B: strenf
- half squat: 245 @ 5 x 10, 3min rest

-- ^^^ legs were just toast the entire time, closer stance than normal on squats, even more quad/vmo

ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.



IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

it's doing much better man, thanks for asking.. if you check my aches/injury status list, it has gotten MUCH better immediately, since starting ibuprofen/excess water/more ice.. ibuprofen is really helping reduce the inflammation that was in the toe though.

i've been getting in some extra vit C but not coffee.. feels weird dunking without coffee lately, but i kind of have to because im doing my jumping real late at night lool.. i know that's off topic but it's interesting.. friday i should be doing a day time dunk session so, that'd finally be stimmed up on coffee.

pc













extreme soreness.

I would just like to point out that I was 7-0 in my UFC predictions last night, and called 31-24 Green Bay for superbowl, off by 1 pointer. I'm a boss. Football subforum for proof


"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word.

ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.



IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises
