Billy works hard making these videos, not to mention the countless hours he drives from gym to gym to get the footage. Maybe if people respected this guys commitment to Dunkers instead of the "Low angles" of his cameras, they would appreciate the world of dunking more. Instead, we look for flaws in things we can't do to make ourselves feel better. YES this is Nick Ross from in the video. Keep up the work Billy, you are appreciated.

damn nice!

I tried getting my friends to throw me lobs, but the timing was always out of place. My bodyweight is down to 85kg.
damn nice! you were ~96 kg in oct 2015.

Elaine Thompson won in 10.71.
Torie Bowie 2nd in 10.83 and Shelly Ann Fraser came 3rd in 10.86.
ya, sick.
i was just coming on to post about that and:
usain bolt: didn't look great in his start, but man o man did he look good towards the end.. beastmode.
mo farah: 10k gold.. not sure why these guys are holding back so much though man.. push the damn pace. Mo Farah fell and still had no problems.. seemed like an easy win for him. Glad he won but, not sure what his competition is thinking tbh.
Bolt V Gatlin showdown
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/50380171/Screen_Shot_2016-08-13_at_9.46.41_PM.0.0.png)
hell ya.
Gatlin is "old" too.. pretty crazy. Phelps doesn't seem like he's getting worse with age either.. I bet he could destroy another olympics. I imagine he'll change his mind in the year leading up to 2020.
usa is my country but i'm still hoping Bolt wins..
more jewelry for the GOAT.

« on: August 14, 2016, 04:13:15 am »ya I imagine that is good for 12" arms.. my biceps are probably ~12", they are weak af.
obviously im not gna be doing 60kg curls with 12" arms haha .. they're gna be cheat curls .. but i did worksets of 55kg last wk and next workout im going for 57.5kg worksets. 60kg is just around the corner. Once ive mastered it for cheat curls .. i can prob do strict ones with say 50kg. And cheat curling 70kg prob get me to strict curl 60kg. I'm just being honest here .. the idea is when im doing strict 60kg curls i will prob get close to 15" and over which would be amazing
ah..
3" to your bicep would be alot of MEAT.
that's one thing we never see people talk about here.. one plate curls and such. 135 lb. that's pretty damn beast. not many people into grip training. I used to love grip training (before dunking). Had CoC grippers, nails, sledge hammers, and I have a farmer's walk implements, 2" and 3" thick bar. lmao.
i focused on curls at one point, did 'safe singles' and cheat variations.. really helped. but i'd get that crazy wrist pain on occasion, feels like shin splints in your wrists. absolutely hated that.

left leg/quad was achy.. which is scary. don't want that quad issue again.

and ya to t0ddday's point.. you could have the most beast aerobic base on the planet.. but if your anaerobic base isn't up to par, repeated sprints are going to wreck you.
if you don't want to do anything "specifically planned", jog + sprint is pretty effective.. jog light (recovery jog), sprint some distance (mix it up), repeat for several miles.. it's pretty fun, but still intense.
i've done that on quite a few occasions.. even just 3 miles seems pretty effective and grueling.

Take the challenge. Do two things. Both are in your capability. Run 400m in under 55 seconds. One lap. Do it. It doesn't take speed but it takes work. Also do the follow. 10 reps of 150 meters. Start on the curve, finish at the end of the straight - walk quickly for half a turn and get down and do 5 pushups and start from pushup position on your next rep. Do 10 reps, keep all reps under 25 seconds. Finish the workout in less than 10 minutes - that means only about 20 seconds for the quick walk/jog between reps and about 10 seconds for your pushups. Then rest 10-20 minutes. Repeat it. I will promise you that if you achieve those two goals you will be the fittest guy on your team. Nobody will question your fitness and you will have juice for the entire game. But its gonna suck far more than long runs...

the 150 repeat workout sounds like hell on earth.

Squats
Bar x 10, 60 x 5, 90 x 4, 110 x 4
Ohp
Bar x 10, 30 x 8, 40 x 8, 8, 8
Squats went surprisingly well. Will go back in to the next week with a 115 max and build back up again. Will only take a couple of weeks.
Only bad thing is my rib. Last Thursday I coughed that bad that I strained a rib muscle. It's was ok but I definitely felt it on the 90 and 110 sets.
how we can exert so much force in competition, training, etc.. then strain a muscle coughing. life is a twisted joke, we are all being trolled.
