bw = 152

aches/injuries = legs achy, right knee slightly achy, mid-back
diet = cold shower, 5 eggs + jalapeno, PB, small veggie stirfry with potatos, PB, 6 eggs + 3 bread + olive oil & black pepper, 40 minute leg drain with compression sleeve

felt good today but should feel great tomorrow, rested nicely

legs felt SOOOOOOO good after drain

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

Thanks, i will.  Haven't tried the E in RICE yet.  Prob bcs i'm not good at elevation.  Workin on it, tho.

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.

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.

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.

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?.

i'd burn it, for youtube.

Maybe it's just the fact that you're on different courts all the time... but based on where your head is compared to the rim, I feel like you've hit a plateau. Am I wrong?

no idea, my last dunk session (prior to the pics above, pics on previous page) was my best dunk session ever so....

pc

you know what, adarq? come to dc, wearing that disgusting shirt. in fact, wear both of them at once. might be just what i need to get my cns fired up enough to dunk.

i wear n.c shirts and ohio state shirts just to piss you off.. HOW DOES IT FEEL.

if i came to d.c. we'd dunk fo sho.

last 3 days has been same stuff in terms of eating

today is:

07/21/2011

bw = 153
soreness = none
aches/injuries = overall leg fatigue, right knee slightly
diet = cold shower, protein/water-drink, 6 eggs, dog stuff, gatorade + protein, dunking + water, tons of PB, workout#2{half-squat=135x10,185x8,225x5,225x25(17 straight), cold shower, 6 eggs + 3 bread + olive oil, leg drain with compression sleeves = 1 hour

overall good jumping today considering how my legs felt.. squat felt stronger than expected..

leg drain felt awesome

Maybe I just have really crappy vision for these things... but I'm pretty sure that's the highest still I've seen.
