i really shouldnt have watched all of my old videos over the last few days..

;/


some vids i had forgot about.. my last few (good) sessions pretty much.


i remember this session, i felt like i was going to just fly, too bad my ham pulled... single leg.. trying to become single leg was tough.. those hamstring/quad "pulls/cramps" really wrecked my leg... i wonder if my vacation will allow my single leg to develop properly.

that's what i miss about dunking ^^.. that last vid..


HEH.. my facebook comment:
i really shouldnt have been watching my old dunk vids lately.. this one caused an itch.. the stuff i miss most about dunking is what happens at 18 seconds.. doesnt matter if it goes in or not, it's about murdering a rim and giving the hazmat crew something to do on the weekend.

That first dunk in the first mix looks better than anything I've thrown down at 10 feet I think, although I did dunk in games at 10 feet as well.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
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

Yeah I guess a very good balance between the quads and the hamstrings is needed for one leg jumps. If the hamstring is weak then you will collapse in the plant and the collapse will be disguised as a quad weakness, when in fact the quads are being overloaded because the hamstring is too weak and to relieve tension off it the knees will go forward and overload the quads...

It's taken me a while to figure this out but this is actually the truth of the matter.

Maybe I should focus much more on hamstring development in my own training if I want good one-leg jumps. That and calf development.

Don't PM me asking me training questions. I'm here for the lulz. If you want help, post on the forums and get help from all the members, maybe even me.

dno, would be kind of nuts if true considering i spent so much time with DLRVJ.. but ya that session would have been unbelievable for single leg jumps imo, those came within my first 7 dunk attempts including warmups.. i remember my hamstring just became worthless out of nowhere.. single leg jumps would kill my quad/itband, it felt like i had those 'forearm splints' from barbell bicep curls, but in my thigh.

thnx tho

ya i never did that lmao.. tried a few times off a rebound, during a game of 21.

i think i just overloaded my quads so hardcore with double legged movements that they just couldnt handle repetitive slrvj's without getting damaged.. my itbands just got RAPED..

im going to focus alot on lighter/high rep movements and eventually high rep reactive work.. everything light though.. light/high rep + stretching + high rep reactive + eventually jump rope/running.

my emphasis is not going to be dunking tho, that'll just be some side thing i imagine.. want to put on some muscle i think..




this pic is just from some motivational poster generator script i just incorporated into some site.. posting for no reason

my legs are going to be toast... hamstrings especially ;)




09/09/2012
BW = 162
SORENESS = lats/chest/biceps


SSBAR = Safety Squat Bar

S1: Deep SSBAR Squat (heels elevated): 75 @ 2x10, 95 x 10, 115 x 10
S1: stretching

S2: SSBAR Calf Raises (ball of foot elevated): 75 @ 20, 20, 25
S2: stretching









squats felt pretty good.. going to use SSBAR and stay below parallel for now, unless my old hip injury starts bugging... hopefully it wont, going to stay light for a while and push the reps.

about to go workout for the first time in ~1 year.. just going to do neutral grip pullups and maybe some pushups..

have no idea what to expect.. ive always had strong pulls and very weak presses 'genetically', imagine ill be able to do a few pullups HEH.


 :highfive:  :headbang:

Nice one man.

I think i read somewhere that a match between pacquiao and mayweather has been set for april 2013
coincidence, i think not.
 :P
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arm also aids the legs in driving it down with power - seifullaah73

Andrew Darqui I think we're talking about two different things. The way I take it is this: Is it logical to profess your love/allegiance to a state simply because you won the molecular lottery and thus were born there? Does it make sense to consider your country to be "the greatest on earth" or "exceptional" when in fact it lags far behind in education, health care, civil rights/liberties violations, and has the worst crime rate among developed countries? I'm obviously using USA as an example here, but the same applies to anyone who is born anywhere, who blindly supports their government's policies & who fall victim to the constant barrage of "patriotic rhetoric" which is actually far from patriotic: it is usually very divisive, dangerous, and full of misinformation/mistruths. People in afghanistan are willing to die for their flag just like american citizens are willing to die for theirs. Patriotism is too often used by political/religious parties to fulfill some sort of agenda. It transcends itself into simple things like people killing each other over which sports team they like, which street they were born on, the color of their skin, their sexuality, the way they look, etc.. These symptoms are all part of the bigger problem; what pot you were born, at every level, is used as a tool for division. If we all pledged allegiance to earth, one nation under Milky Way, we'd be alot better off imo. pC bruh, btw, when you get to usa you gon` see some shyt, trust. :F

I laughed when I read "horrible hamstring soreness".

How the hell do you get that. I haven't had hamstring soreness... EVER. I don't know how it feels like. I've had some hamstring fatigue/MILD soreness even after natural GHRs... but never "horrible hamstring soreness".

What to do to get that?
Current PR status:

All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

Do 100% max effort 200m sprints and you'll feel it the next day in your hamstrings.
