I'd definitely use a belt though in these kind of situations, way too much weight for the back's health.

my motto is, if you need a belt, you shouldn't be lifting it..

Mine's too, but you're not actually "lifting". No need for extra danger.

what?

I use to do that with the rack I had before I got a squat cage, using 2x my body weight, but I'd go back up when I put it back on the rack, like doing a quarter squat. I got up to 255lbs 6x. 

nice!

uploading an example "unracking msem" vid, using "unracking pin minus 1".. hit 475 off pin minus 2 in second session, was amazed.. pin minus 3 is starting to get close to my half squat depth, i'd imagine pin - 6 or so would be my half squat depth.. crazy if i can keep working my way down hitting 475.. would be epic

bw = 153
soreness = calves alot
aches/injuries = none, AFTER FIRST SESSION OF LTMP SINGLES: low left back very slightly - erector bugging, felt better after second session hehe
diet = protein/water-drink + coconut-water, popcorn chicken + half bag chips + coconut water drink, LTMP-SINGLES{jump rope supersetted with unracking=4x200,3x100, unracking=pin-minus-1=475x7MSEM}, big chicken tenders + 2 coconut water + half bag chips, big dog walk, LTMP-SINGLES{jump rope supersetted with unracking=7x100, unracking pin MINUS 2=worked up to 475x1}, coconut water + 2*protein/water-drink, 2*huge-gatorade-drink + 3 eggs + TONS of egg whites
fatigue = high

felt so strong on unracking..

calves so damn sore heh..

moving the unracking pin down another notch tomorrow, so i'll be using unracking-pin-minus-2.
^^^ SCRATCH THAT, did it in session too, still hit 475, wtf.. moving it down to unracking-pin-minus-3... that is getting close to my pin 6 half squat depth daaaaayum.




last meal was pretty big.. hydrating bigtime for tomorrow, i'd like to dunk pretty hard, dno how my legs will feell.. if they feel like they did today, should be flying.. only problem with today was my calves.. so really no calve work tonight to try and get my calves to stop aching.. i might be 153-154 tomorrow but all of the stim from those 475's should have me going apeshit.. if not friday, definitely saturday.. so we'll see tomorrow, probably going indoor

peace!




edit: wanted to get in some hardcore stretching after my final meal but didnt, sucks..

from last night:

BW = 169.9
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = big toes
FATIGUE = moderate
DIET = good

RVJ session

-warm up

-jump x a bunch x 20-25 minutes
i fought gravity and gravity won. couple good jumps, mostly shit. the problem is unquestionably my slow-as-molasses approach.

god dammit

Had a bream the other night I was at the court, went up for a dunk attempt no expecting to even get close to a dunk, but went up to dunk and dunked it, but my legs felt heavy, and the goal I dunked on was at the bottom of a hill, so I didn't know if it was shorter then the other goals or if it looked lower because of the hill. Moral of the story is my dunking ability is an illusion.

lol i used to have dreams about dunking and i'd never be able to dunk.. this is everything predating age 28.. haha

now i have dreams and im head over rim throwing it down, pretty cool.. had one 2 nights ago, was awesome :F







had a travel dream should have logged it.. travel dreams are my fav dreams.. i was in some 'hidden oasis mega rich community', just walking around checking it out.. was really cool..

nice shit.

thanks mayne

  When you gonna hit that 225x50?

dno, want to hit 315 x 20 first before i try it.

And it'd be cool to see you try and hit your head on backboard again, time it right and you should be banging the top of your head on it lol.  Anyways good stuff

ya that's metal though, would rather hit it on a backboard pad hehe!!!

tooooooooooons of stretching, hamstrings/quads were soooooo loose after the stretching all night.

We should have a thread on flexibility.

I have read studies which show lots of stretching reduces stiffness (both passive and active) detrimental to running, loss in power, loss in recoil, changes in neural thresholds of the muscle etc, reflected in slower speeds.

those losses are mostly following bouts of static stretching imo, like 15-120 minutes after performing the stretches.. after a good night's sleep it shouldn't effect you.. if all you do is stretch, then sure, you will lose stiffness, but if you stretch + lift, you will gain slightly better resting length of muscles while maintaining stiffness = more power.

one of my best stills ever, i actually made this dunk, im not pulling myself up either.. shit looks insane!@$!@%!
