people always end up asking what is this "T0ddday method". Deserves it's own thread + sticky.

from what I recall, T0ddday & LBSS worked together on this technique. Then LBSS named it after him. (correction?)

From something LBSS posted:

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/from-bull-to-beast-hopefully/msg118231/#msg118231

1. do a standing jump.
2. walk back and do a one-step jump. if it's higher than your SVJ, then proceed to 3. if not, continue doing one-step jumps, messing with your approach, trying different amounts of knee bend, different distances, etc., until one-step is higher than SVJ.
3. walk back a little farther and do a two-step jump. if this is higher than your one-step, proceed to 4. if not, repeat the second part of 2.
4. walk back a little farther and do a three-step jump. proceed as above.
5. etc., until the extra step no longer gets you any higher.

you are not allowed to add a step until that step consistently gives you more height over previous steps. this isn't that specific to basketball, because it grooves a very specific pattern. but if you're just trying to dunk anything at all under perfect circumstances (join the club!), then it's a good method.

if there's some more detailed posts, or something that deserves to be in this OP, let me know and i'll update.

endomondo actually says my best 1-mile walking is 12:11.. but that's when I ran at the end due to lightning haha.. I ran ~0.2 mi @ ~11+ mph.. funny considering I can probably beat that time eventually by just walking.

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: ~9 hours
last night fell asleep: ~3:30 AM
wakeup = 1:30 PM
bw = 148
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves moderate, hamstrings moderate, back/lower back slightly
aches = left heel slightly
injuries = toenails slightly wrekt, right hip flexor slightly (~tendonitis), left hip flexor very slightly
standing desk (when on computer): none
feel = good
water = alot



Food

1:30 PM

- greek yogurt
- green tea



Food

5 PM

- beet + berry juice pre-made drink
- almond joy



Session: Evening

7:15 PM
- wanted to do 3 laps (9 miles) but only did 2, got too dark.

walk + studying:
- 6.35 mi in 1h:27m:46s
- some good studying, mostly "types and programming languages" notes.
- walked 2 miles moderate, walked hard, repeat once more
- speed: 4.3 mph
- pace: 13:50 min/mi
- splits:
1. 14:41 min/mi
2. 14:05 min/mi
3. 12:53 min/mi 
4. 14:07 min/mi
5. 14:16 min/mi
6. 12:52 min/mi 
7. ~rest: ~13:50 min/mi

soo.. two PR's.. finally got under 13 minutes for one mile. Felt so powerful/fast (walking). Mile #3 was a PR by ~16s, then mile #6 was a PR by 1s.

so that's ~4.7 mph for each of those miles.. getting closer to 5mph for an entire mile.

hit 5 mph several times & 5.1 mph a few times, and 5.2 mph once:
-
- fastest i've walked MAX was 4.9 mph, according to my watch.. so this is the first time breaking the 5mph barrier.

it was amazing out too.. studying + walking + amazing weather + beautiful sunset; solid combo.

left heel feels it when I walk powerfully.

THRUST FORCE -> IMPROVING.



Food

10 PM

- huge stir fry: grilled chicken, 3 carrots, half of a sweet potato, green pepper, white onions, kalamata olives, garlic, mixed nuts, jalapeno pepper, red chili pepper, olive oil, salt
- green tea
- a few crackers
- a few dark chocolates



Food

10:30 PM

- 2% milk
- biscotti



Session: Stretching

11 PM

- some light stretching
- ~1-2s holds, mostly quads/hip flexors
- just kept alternating etc



got tons of programming done today.

hamstrings feel very sore right now... but still have some serious flexibility improvements in them. un-stretched flexibility is now middle knuckles on the ground during standing hamstring.. that's an improvement from barely fingertips (or no fingertips) initially without any prior stretching.

hopefully feel good enough to run tomorrow.. might run with the wind for a change just to see if I can fly.

solid game. GSW almost threw it away in the last minute though. man if Durant had hit that 3-pointer, would have been 114-111..

Curry really showed up, but mostly in his driving to the hoop.. that was the difference maker in his game tonight. He didn't just settle for 3's.. needs to do that again on Saturday (?).

I loved that one sign that lady was holding up: "See you on Monday" hah.

Durant/Westbrook had some crap combined field goal percentage. If those shots had gone in, obviously the story would have been different. Even with such shit fg%, they were a few shots away from winning.. that's kind of scary going into game 6 :f

I can never visit this thread, lel. I always watch the games recorded, during the next day or night, so I can't visit this until I do.

damn that sux.. lul.

going to move all of the journals in the "quitters" section back into progress journals... so if you see the progress subforum filling up, that is why.

I don't imagine anyone will have a problem with that? It's sort of become an "eye sore" when I load the forum up. It was supposed to be a reminder for people to keep busting their ass etc, but honestly, at this point it's just useless (in my humble opinion). Just going to move all of those journals back and remove that subforum.

pC!



edit: there are sooo many journals in there it's ridiculous. 

that code-generation library I wrote is really saving my life.. to date, it's generated nearly 25k lines of code:

$ wc -l /tmp/LN*|tail -n 1
   24367 total

That's just going to keep growing as I create more types and API endpoints.



just added another "feature" to it, to create converters between request/responses (two different types):

here's an example conversion between an auto-generated ThreadRequest and ThreadResponse:

threadRequestToThreadResponse :: Int -> Int -> Int -> (Maybe Date) -> (Maybe Int) -> (Maybe Date) -> (Maybe Date) -> ThreadRequest ->
ThreadResponse
threadRequestToThreadResponse id userId boardId createdAt modifiedBy modifiedAt activityAt (ThreadRequest o) =
  ThreadResponse {
    id: id,
    userId: userId,
    boardId: boardId,
    name: o.name,
    description: o.description,
    sticky: o.sticky,
    locked: o.locked,
    poll: o.poll,
    createdAt: createdAt,
    modifiedBy: modifiedBy,
    modifiedAt: modifiedAt,
    activityAt: activityAt
  }


threadResponseToThreadRequest :: ThreadResponse -> ThreadRequest
threadResponseToThreadRequest  (ThreadResponse o) =
  ThreadRequest {
    name: o.name,
    description: o.description,
    sticky: o.sticky,
    locked: o.locked,
    poll: o.poll
  }

That last function is the one I need most.. Response To Request. The first one, Request To Response I probably won't use much at all. Response To Request allows me to take a simple response from the server and form it into a request, ie for editing threads etc.

I thought this was going to take me a few hours to write, but it actually took just under an hour.

when I saw "nba combine" being advertised on ESPN this year, I thought they were going to show some of that stuff. All they showed were some scrimmages etc. They should market it like the NFL combine, imho.
