There benefit gets diluted because if your body has already filled it's need for the vitamins and other compounds in bananas it's more than likely gonna have you get rid of em. If possible you should def be eating at least 5 different fruit and vegs a day. If you eat 2-3 bananas that's fine but you should still be eating 4 other different fruits or vegetables.

right that's a good point

not meaning to be a dick or anything, but have you thought that maybe u got the staph infection due to a poor immune system?

nope.... i got it the day i went into an indoor basketball gym, hot/humid, with like 50 people there sweating all over.. i contracted it somehow through a cut/skin opening, that's how staph is usually contracted.

now im getting outbreaks from the original infection 4 weeks ago.

So have you gone to the doc yet?

man the american health care system pisses me off so much...
having people not able to get treatment due to cost is just third world and stupid... how can the leading nation in the world have such shit health care when places like australia, england and switzerland etc. can have affordable public health care...
so fucking stupid....


apologies for the rant i just can stand the healthcare u got over there

its the republicans fault...

  I don't know anybody of any nationality that thinks the republicans do your country any good except for stupid fucking Americans. The Japanese hate republicans, the English hate republicans, the Irish hate republicans, the French hate repubicans (add in the rest of Europe), all the Africans I know hate the republicans...I could go on for days. Your countries political system is just a horrific mess. Theres really not a huge difference between America and China and Russia these days. You big countries are just a fucking horrific cluster fuck of a fucking mess...

Course they do, i'm educated.

because the people of america are fucking retarded.. the health care lobby's politicians to make commercials that explain how BAD the health care is in australia/england/switzerland/etc... these commercials depict people basically dying while waiting in line to get health care, shit like that.. america is a big scam if you actually live in it.

usa wouldn't even need "socialized health care" if they just regulated the health care industry better & opened it up for more competition.. i mean, we are the country that brought you 15 cent cheeseburger wednesday's etc, and the dollar menu... competition drives down costs, right now you have this big clusterfuck of a health care system where costs are insane.

i have a cousin who lives in australia now, the health care she receives is amazing..

i'm actually more conservative.. i'd vote 'conservative' if they weren't all infected with religious principals & catering to the rich.. i love the idea of SMALL government.. democrats actually piss me off, even though I voted for al gore/obama, I vote mostly with democrats though i'm an independent.. i can't fathom voting for mccain/palin, cheney/bush etc.. those people are trash.

i like the idea of small government and hardly anything being forced upon you, that' very conservative..

don't wanna pay taxes? fine.. don't.. but you don't get access to public roads/schooling/postal service.. don't want health care? fine, don't pay for it, but health care should be very affordable and competitive so anyone can get it.. wanna smoke weed or any other naturally occurring substance? go for it.. opposing nation & want nuclear energy/weapons? go for it, but you threaten us once your military gets bombed to smitherines.. wanna outsource jobs? go for it, but you'll get taxed to fuck

everything the government operates, except for the postal service, is a complete disaster...... public schools = disaster.. police forces = disaster.. social services = disaster.. nursing homes = disaster. medicare/medicaid = disaster..

so ya, i don't get why "republican" is associated with "conservative", it bothers me.. "republican" indicates religious values which cloud your thinking on important issues, conservative doesn't..

Darqui what program do you use to make your videos? Windows Movie Maker doesn't have an option for over 720x480 resolution but I want the whole 1920x1080...

adobe after effects, i'm not sure about windows so.. but i'm pretty sure sony vegas can handle true HD.. there might be some free video editing software, don't know though:

http://www.lightworksbeta.com/

that might work, never tried it though, damienz linked it in some other thread..

Hey man, Slamsback responded to me on that youtube "hang yourself" comment.  I basically asked him if he'd be willing to test his vertical versus yours using a tape measure which clearly displays his reach and rim height.  I don't know if you'd want to test yours vs. his or not...anyway hope you're not mad that I basically insinuated you challenge this guy haha

lol it's all good.. he's been talking about "flying out to prove me wrong" for quite some time..

bottom line, is i have a video where he actually says he is 6'5.. on youtube he claims he is 6'3 with an 8'2 reach.. in the video he tests his reach against the net, he can easily touch the net if he weren't cheating his reach, it's so obvious.. his reach is around 8'8 or so..

so he can fly wherever he wants but bottom line is he's been bullshitting for years.

oh ya props to the person who donated me the video joo know who you are..



if you check his latest comment on the vid, he "squashed the beef" or whatever.. that's kind of funny, i don't think he realized people will start hating on him if he attacks me like he did, he was probably in WTF-mode how people kept ganging up on him/going to his chan and posting comments lol..

he claims a 11'5 dunk and 44" RVJ, it's b.s. ... maybe in the summer i'll eventually meet him/dunk with him who knows, i doubt it but maybe..

i hope sprite slam dunk contest comes to miami one time, i'd love to enter it when im 45" RVJ.. would be fun and i'd love to tell my own personal cam & the people there "yo this rim is low wtf is up with this lame shit raise the rim" lulululuzlz

but ya i have vertec videos he doesn't.. he lies about his HEIGHT AND REACH, i don't.. so he can easily prove his vert if he just stopped "inflating".. i mean 40" RVJ at 6'5 isn't bad, i don't see why he has to inflate to 44, makes him look worse.. 6'5 40" RVJ is what he is, at peak, imo, that's pretty damn good.... so weird how some people just feel the need to compulsively inflate.

peace

woke up insanely sick, but, removed a ton of neon green phlegm/mucous for about 30 minutes non stop, after that, felt a bit better.. felt better going into workout, started feeling a bit worse DURING workout, coughing etc.. kinda cold in the gym.

staph lumps down even more.. awesome sign.

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 <-- happens every time, STOP IT
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+
- cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs
- utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7

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

I don't know if you read this, but he said the following:

"@Cloud3205 haha 6"4 8"2 reach ur right not that much vert to dunk a ball, but putting ur arm in the rim on a indoor 10 foot non ajustable rim? or how about a Cradle between the legs 2 handed reverse dunk on a d-1 MSU rims? or what about a Between the legs dunk where? i put the ball between the same leg i jump off of? the $10,000 check for Next best move winner was nice. U do make good points on height but ill put up $1,000 cash his vert standing or running dont beat mine! any takers?
slamsback09 19 hours ago"

Anyway, I did not fix his grammatical errors, but basically he is betting that he can out jump you.  Would you measure yours against his if he would agree to it?  You could both help set the rules to figure out what is fair. 

Anyway, it's not a huge deal to me, but he's saying he's a better leaper than you and I don't agree, he's willing to bet $1,000 he claims, so why not call him out?

well it's impossible to do because he won't stop lying.. he's 6'5 with an 8'8 reach or so.. so ya of course i'd put my hops up against his, but he's always going to claim 6'3 8'2 reach or 6'4 8'2 reach.. notice how he put 6'4 right? now check what he put on a streetball forum last night:

http://www.streetballin.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25484

bottom line, i have a vid of him saying he's 6'5 and he obviously gets at least 8'6, and he's not reaching fully.. i don't get how we'd ever compare hops because:

1. he'd probably continue lying about his stats, even if he had a tape measurer ON video he'd lie about the result, he's already done this in a PGD vid.. it was like 6'5 and he says 6'3....
2. getting him to do max reach jumps on a legit 10' hoop would be hard
3. he isn't going to come down here right now and do it, he's like 240 lb and not even close to where he should be, so he'd get murked in vert right now.. he's not 100%.

so ya, dno what he's talking about flying down, if he came down right now and we tested vert/reach/jumped i'd demolish him, he's probably jumping like 32" max right now.. heh

when he's 100% maybe we'll meet up and do this 'challenge' but who knows.............. heh

peace

Right, I agree that he would lie about things.  I was thinking that if you explained how to measure clearly to him, it would be obvious that he was lying to everyone who saw the video...

right i mean he's measured himself on vid and still said 6'3.. he's basically touched an 8'6 net standing and still said 8'2.. it's a lost cause.. if he came correct with his stats no one would be dissing him that's for sure, 6'5 with 40" RVJ is respectable.. some people are locked into an "inflate" attitude, it's like, a compulsive liar syndrome somewhat.. everything they say gets embelished slightly.. it's odd..

I was just trying to get you his "$1,000 cash" lol.

lol i'll take it from him this summer then buy 2 squatflexes.

donked.

It may be impossible to do, but I think he wouldn't even agree to challenge you right now for the reasons you pointed out.  Anyway, I just don't get why this guy says "hang yourself" then he himself jumps lower than you. 

ya the hang yourself comment was whack, below da belt.

it's like, really, over some vert comments/scam comments, gonna say hang/kill yourself?? lol nutty.

i love how people keep telling me i'm "not a dunker", no shit folks, i do the same dunks, only a few, and don't care about tricks, these people are sherlock holmes status.
