Is always nice to know Adarq is watching where I am going.. Thanks for the suggestion. And that video... u shared is a nice demonstration of how to do a lob indeed.

cool!


Quote
I always wonder, how come they does not need a fast run up to get that high.  Often i see people being super fast going into the plant.

but i also seesome people... just doesn't need to attack the plant as hard.. (like in the video u show)

well in general, people with slower runups who still get high, rely alot more on raw strength. These people may get just as high on a 1 or 2 step runups, as they would on a 4 step runup.

as for that video specifically.. it's just that undoubtable is "inexperienced" with lobs. he's not using his MAX DLRVJ technique in that lob/dunk:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1b6nMU4ojw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1b6nMU4ojw</a>

he's much more aggressive in that runup + jump without the ball.. as he gets better with lobs, he'll be able to get much more aggressive in his runup/jump there too.

it's just something that will come with practice. Initially, you "think too much" when throwing lobs and trying to catch them.. eventually you just get so much better at it that you don't think much, you just concentrate more on your runup/jump and catching the ball wherever it is, to crush it.

That video with dante hall at 1:11 i think was incredible and the catches. I love that part of it, but because I don't know the rules much, as I see alot of the times when they are dropped to the floor they have to stop and get back in position or something.

btw, which teams are the top teams that are most likely to get to the finals, like in UK you have top teams like man united, liverpool, chelsea, man city, etc any good teams besides michigan (im guessing central michigan).

does the winner go to the superbowl final?

oh shit.. i posted NFL videos in a college football thread.

pretty much the same thing though.

as far as college: Ohio State, LSU, Alabama, USC are usually contenders for the college championship.

for nfl: New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburg Steelers are usually in the playoffs, which gives them a chance at getting to the super bowl.

If you had to pick one, New England is pretty much always a top contender over the last decade.

nfl highlight videos have some crazy sh*t.. i didn't post any "jacked up" videos because that portion of the game is changing & deadly..  it used to be celebrated when people got laid out, concussed.. not anymore though.. which is a good thing but obviously not as "Exciting".

tried caffeine this morning, just to see if I felt a difference in my morning run.. still felt like total crap. There was an initial placebo effect I think.

84 F, 79% humidity, heat index 94 F.

Quote
An 88-degree day with a relative humidity just under 40 percent, for example, will feel like 88 degrees. Hot, yes, but when humidity reaches 70 percent, that same 88 temperature feels like 100 degrees.

Quote
Also, it's a myth that newbies or not-fit-enough runners are the ones who suffer in hot, humid conditions. In fact, competitive athletes may be more prone to heat-related illnesses because the faster you run, the more body heat you generate. "As humidity increases, thermal strain and premature fatigue increase exponentially, and so running at your normal pace will feel very difficult,"

Quote
You might think the best times to run are early morning or evening, or cloudy, rainy, or not-crazy-hot days.

http://www.runnersworld.com/hot-weather-running/tips-for-running-in-humidity



just added this to my phone:

https://www.wunderground.com/us/fl/tamarac

usually I just check the temperature.. now i'm checking heat index. I normally view the heat index on my running stats AFTER I run.



I also tried running with my chest out more .. I think I like it.

have you download latest version of GHC 7.10.2 or 7.3, which has bug fixes from the previous versions I think. Or maybe its a different kind of error.

ha! thanks for looking into it.. i warn you though, don't even try. :) it's some CRAZY weird shit involving GHCJS *AND* GHC.. so not ghc alone. Trust me, it's some very obscure thing that probably no one has ever experienced HEH!

and ya i'm using GHC 7.10.3 with GHCJS.

160902 Resuming carb and Squat number is getting better
Replaced phone so all training Log from phone should be saved on here... I just found out my very first lifting log on my phjone is 2014 dec.... so OMG... talk about all those data.

Any how since i resumed carb. my weight is getting back up from low 170 to high 170 and getting stable at 180 I feel.

As for my squat,
I am doing 315lbs x4 for a few set and my save 1rm grinding is about 365lbs.  So more or less at 2xBW...
but Like the brother suggested here.. I should aim to get 400lbs...  now that i am eating.

Raining season is passing by but still rain alot.
Every week i will have 1 olifting fast pull session as well as 1 squat session (both are about 30 min to 40 min long)
and for the pass 4 weeks or so, I did HIIT x100m sprint once a week followed by all you can eat sushi.  (Protein and carb loading)

NOT enough Jump session remain an issue.... RAINing every 2nd day at lunch is a pain ...

Leg is constantly sore, And the HIIT sprint some time take up to 3 days and the soreness still exist...

I did try to have a jump/dunk session once a week... some time even with wet floor... i just try to lob the ball without jump..for practice purpose.  and walk under the rim to preform some stationary jump.

Summer will soon be gone... rain will go away.
so does my youth..

damn you are still getting THAT sore from HIIT? 3 days is alot.

even though you aren't doing lob dunk attempts yet, how do the lobs feel?



here's an example dunk recently from undoubtable (his first dunk on 10'), using a lob:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meAU5ijvSgE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meAU5ijvSgE</a>



he's not a "professional lobber" yet, but that shows you what can happen on a perfectly good lob. *IF* that lob wasn't so perfect, and instead was a bit further out from the rim, he would have smashed that down even harder (or back rimmed it).. but if you can get it generally where he catches it, which is slightly in front of the rim, that'll greatly increase your chances of smashing one down.

also if you want to really test your jumping, you're going to have to at least occasionally have your legs feel fresh (none of that hiit/squat soreness) .. you want them to feel loose/light. So, like t0ddday mentioned earlier in this thread (and like Dreyth was doing), you might want to 'deload' every 4th week where you just get as fresh as possible and get in a jump/dunk session every other day..

so, 3 weeks of hard work, with sore-jumping mixed in.. then a 4th week of recovery + jumping/dunk attempts every other day.. ~30-45 minute sessions after a good warmup, no longer.. so that you don't beat yourself up too much during the jump/dunk sessions.

a 1 week deload every 4th week isn't going to cause any setbacks.. it should help, given the way you are training.

these somax videos/articles I watched/read today were actually pretty good..

http://www.somaxsports.com/video.php?analysis=sub-2-hour-marathon

http://www.somaxsports.com/eliterunner.php

http://www.somaxsports.com/microfiber.php



regardless of their products/services (microfiber reduction etc), there was some good info in these videos: vertical displacement, stride angle, ankle position, crossover, etc.. The comparisons between the elite african vs american runners was pretty good.

Quote
A runner with a 3 inch bounce lands with six times his body weight on each leg. For a 150 lb. runner, this is 900 lbs. Since a runner takes 1,000 strides per mile, this adds up to a total of 450,000 lbs. on each leg per mile. During a marathon, it totals 11,790,000 lbs. on each leg.

- rushed, needed to finish by ~7:50
- i didn't even want to train.. felt like such crap
- but then.. started warming up, felt SO explosive
- midfoot, saucony's

runs: a bunch of ~200-400's
- was hard to run over 5 min/mi pace .. body just wanted to go beastmode
- so by using power, body just wanted to go fast .. so I let it.



:ibrunning:

once I warmed up, everything was under 5 min/mi pace.. felt really good. The graph with the ~4:35 pace was a ~400m.

very last run was, just trotting home.. basically low 6's trotting.

my body/brain is all over the place.. anyway, loved this session. Wished I could have stayed out there and done more.

also, ate pretty light today.. and felt crazy good when I actually started running in my evening session. probably ate "just enough".

right hip flexor feels a LITTLE odd.. could be from some of the very light stretching i've been doing.. hope not.

might have figured out the code issue wrecking me.. well i narrowed it down and temporarily fixed it, but I don't know why it's happening.. which is horrible.
