07/17/2011

bw = 153
soreness = hamstrings/adductors
aches/injuries = none, (mid back area tight from some stretching i did 2 weeks ago, have had it since then just dont log it)
diet = cold shower + protei/water, 6 eggs + jalapeno, dog park, workout{free-half-squat=225x25, NGP=10}, lots of PB, chipotle double chicken burrito + chips and salsa, to
ns of PB, 4 eggs + egg whites + honey... still putting salt in my crystal light's..

felt good today, pretty sore though during squatting.

what's your caloric estimate and macro breakdown for that cold shower?

Andrew, I was going to start a new thread on this but I'm not sure it would develop any discussion, anyway...

I was just wandering, if all the resistance from your squatting came entirely from resistance bands (elastic energy), (no weight plates), could you see any potential gains from just using bands alone?.

Some of the pages on this site that are playin' up resistance bands for vert & speed have got me wandering : http://www.athleticquickness.com/page.asp?page_id=38

Does training with resistance bands make your muscles more elastic as the bands are more elastic in nature?. Elasticity being qualities that apply to vert & speed.

What you reckon?.

if bands alone created significant tension at the bottom, then ya, you could expect significant gains.. if it doesn't, and becomes way more intense at the top, then you can only expect small gains.. for example, a light barbell loaded with short but resistive bands creating considerable tension at the bottom and as you go up, ya, that would cause gains.

nope.. your muscles become more "elastic" doing activities such as reactive work/plyos/sprinting etc.. if resistance is large, it's always going to cause most of your adaptations to occur in the strength/hypertrophy realm instead of tendon/contract-relax realm.

the nature of the bands doesn't change much about how your muscles adapt, it's still just overcoming a slow intense stimulus, the only thing that becomes interesting is how your body reacts to the "change in gravity" feeling caused by the bands accelerating you downwards faster than gravity.. slow intense movements are going to target hypertrophy/raw strength the most, elastic qualities respond better to dynamic/ballistic work... bottom line, people need to do both, strength + sprint/jump/reactive.

basically all of the dunks from last dunk session IN ORDER, dont think ive ever done that.. posted a vid with them in order.. this session was so good though that it starts off real good right from the getgo hah.

dno, all i know is he's still obsessing over 15 year old girls.. so, if he's the same there, he's probably still bodybuilding like he normally does.

Hey, man, just wondering how exactly u are doing this? I started wearing knee sleeves a few months ago during leg wkts and for a few hours afterwards to reduce inflammation and def helps me. What are the details?

Thanks for taking the time to reply, appreciate it.

So lets say someone gave you a squatflex for free. You would just chuck it straight in the garbage or sell it on?.

Hey, man, just wondering how exactly u are doing this? I started wearing knee sleeves a few months ago during leg wkts and for a few hours afterwards to reduce inflammation and def helps me. What are the details?

i lie down, and prop legs up at nearly 90 degrees, like on a bed with pillows.. then just relax with my laptop.. legs get numb etc, helps for recovery.

try it out :F
