http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/2011/05/derrick-rose-x-adizero-crazy-light-whats-in-a-number so i just read that article and it claims that these new addidas shoes are great for basketball and blah blah blah. I remember reading this discussion and it got me thinking. how much do the waffle racers weigh?

waffle racers weigh around 0.6oz per shoe..

and would light basketball shoes protect the ankle more?

yup they would, such as kobe's etc.. low top bball shoes would still offer more protection than waffle racers, but i personally only train in waffle racers.. thats the only shoe i feel like wearing, they feel great, but they take a while getting used to especially for basketball.. i wouldnt RECOMMEND them for basketball, even though i'd play in them.. my ankles have adapted to them, much stronger now.

and just if anyone here has tried both and can say which they prefer and why?

PS This is my first post so please respond

no comparison between waffle racers & bball shoes in terms of "lightness + ankle mobiility + activating the gastrocs even more".. but shoes like kobe's are safer than waffle racers..

get used to low/mid top shoes if anything.. high tops are evil imo.

ok had some pretty good jumps, coolest shit about it is, i couldnt get into 5th gear.. this is all 4th gear shit.. i have some head fatigue that was holding me back, couldn't really do any long full speed run ups either, i tried but shit was off.. crazy shit considering, got up so ez. regardless, landed some nice dunks, nice left 180ish thing too.

if things go like usual, should be absolutely flying in the next few days.. i think im going to try and get on that D1 university court tomorrow.

it all depends on how you are built for the most part.. some people naturally excel at rep work, like myself, so it's very easy to hit true 8-10RM's without any acclimation phase.. other people will struggle. Also, my 10RM will always overestimate my 1RM because of how good I am naturally at rep work... it's not good to use 10RM anyway to predict 1RM so i guess that point is moot anyway.. but the same applies to 5RM so I guess it isn't moot heh.. my 5RM will always overestimate my 1RM based on how I am built naturally. I recover better between reps than someone who is pure power for example, I can hit multiple grinder's in a set whereas someone who is really powerful struggles to even finish one grinder.

dno just my 2cents.

Yeah, that's really cool, you're basically part of history forever (and I'm not sarcastic saying this).

thanks man and ya i know you're being serious, you've always offered kind words on this issue, since it happened.

Thats awesome.

Congratulations

thanks alot man

Wow! Bigtime congrats, indeed.

thanks alot ryz!

I'm a bit curious though: Is this a book Verkho had finished prior to his passing, or is this some Tupac type deal where other people (his daughter?) are finishing it up for him?

i think it's the one he was working on when he passed away, and his daughter/some other people, possibly james smith, helped to finish it.. he already wrote this manual way back, but this is the revised/new edition.

Cool news, in which context are you mentioned and what is the book about?

thanks man.. in the context lance linked, that iso extension stim exercise based on his stim method/stim variants... not sure yet of course, will have to read it, probably only a small thing on it, though maybe he really expanded on it, would be awesome if that was the case.. he seemed very receptive of it back when i notified him of the idea/exercise/results on his forum.

The clip is locked due to music copyright here... and I don't remember that site through which you could view blocked videos.

blah! I checked it and it seems it is actually blocked everywhere with the exception of Italy and U.S.A. LOL!
I don't know the site you're talking about man:(

@ Drew:good stills no matter how the knee is doing man!

thanks mang, knee is doing better today but still bugging, but thats a good sign.. elbow is jacked up from slamming the ball real hard into rim and getting jammed hah.. hate when that happens.

that's why i don't use popular music anymore, copyright stuff sucks.. plus you can get violations and account terminated etc.

I got an email today "apologizing" for my name being misspelled in the book (SSTM, Special Strength Training Manual for Coaches), Darque instead of Darqui. Needless to say, i'm extremely honored to be somewhere in that book, pretty awesome. I shot back a big email detailing how much Verkhoshansky has meant to my training, and how i'm planning on giving him much gratitude once I reach my goal of 47" RVJ, just wish I would have been able to actually share it with him. R.I.P

anyway they are sending me a copy
