Vag, have you worn the SF2? Id be curious to see if there's any differences in feel/function vs the POs.

No, i haven't. But from what i read the differences are tiny. The upper materials are supposed to be a little more 'soft' , so more comfy but less durable. Also the cushion,, although it is exactly the same setup it now requires a little break-in time, supposedly. But the general idea is that it is exactly the same shoe.

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Said F it and went and hooped some. Couple full court games not going real hard. Good warmup for ehat happened after the games lol! Mini dunk session with the college players! Had a 6'4" sophomore that goes off 1 or 2, has a mid-upper 30" vert (he measured 37" pre ACL tear freshman year and hes almost back 100% he says), a 6'2" up coming freshman in college with similar vert and then JD. JD is 6'4" and has a vertec tested 44" vert. He's insanely explosive just uncoordinated. He windmilled off 1 step tonight.   :motherofgod: Of course this got me pretty amped up :headbang: . Got a decently clean windmill off a lob (a first! ), a couple reverses including one off glass and tried a 360 off the dribble to no success lol! Got way up on a few oops though, felt great for being slightly achy/sore. Rest FTW!

I have noticed that I'm either too heavy to go SL right now or not conditioned well enough yet. I can get it well enough and occasionally a two hander off one but I get crazy shin splints the next day. :/

Oh and for those wondering, JD doesnt lift. Just pushups, core stuff and God given FREAKISH athleticism.  SMH.

FUCK. First half of 2014 is officially in the books as 'Chris can't stsy healthy'. Lifted PC on Friday and all was great. Deadlifts felt really strong. Monday morning I played ball, longer than expected (4 hours lol) then took a few hours to rest and went to lift. Felt fine during warmups, squats were flying up, started some core work and....pulled a lower abdomen muscle. So now Im alternating ice and compression and have been advised to not do anything for a week or so. Yay. And I was just starting to really get back in a groove basketball and jumping wise. My plant speed was coming back and I was starting to get up quicker and more consistently.  Fuck fuck fuck.

Going to try and cut back a little on food and eat extra clean this week to try and maintain weight. Hopefully I can get this healed up quickly.

Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Purpose was not to get lean ( he was a lean muscular beast already ), purpose was to get lighter to protect joints.
But yeah, looks so weird, it is going to take us some time to adapt to this new him.
I wonder what will happen to his SLRVJ, he was doing in-game head at rim and FT SLRVJ dunks being 250+, and SL jumping is much more dependent on weight than muscle ( his joints and levers are the same anyway ) so imagine now!!

True, but he lost his runaway freight train-ness that stopped everyone from stepping in front of him. It will be interesting this year across the NBA!

If he can stay healthy at his new weight, he should be bouncy!

sucks on the lower ab muscle, heal up quick.

I am humbled by your beastly ability to play ball 4 hours, then rest up and lift like you do.

Thanks man! I was surprised by how the squats went, I figured it'd be a small struggle. I do always take a moment before warmups and completely clear my mind, focus, and just get in the moment before I lift. I visualize achieving my goals for the day and repeat to myself how easy they'll be. I basically get completely behind the mindset that im 100% rested and ready. It's weird but the mind is a powerful thing and I swear it helps lol

Because he'll now be a 255 lbs beast instead of a 275 lbs beast

I don't know that he was ever 275. His camp has always said he's 250-260. I'd say now he's closer to 235 like he was claimed to be in high school.
