his jumps look very cool when he jumps away of the rim. I wanna do a lefty like the one of the first vid

ya how he bicycles his feet/legs.. t-dub style.. that looks really sick, makes it look like even more hangtime.

that dunk you're talking about is my fav too in these vids.. looks really nice.

« on: January 16, 2011, 07:10:20 am »
I'm willing to bet expensive things you will get higher if you kick the legs like Adarqui is doing. That is, pulling the heels to the butt after your triple extension. You're not doing that right now and I'm not doing it either, yet when I do it the body has a totally different dynamics. You can argue it doesn't matter what you do in mid air but to me at least - it does. Maybe it's a matter of body perception/proprioceptivity, stretching, tightness, I don't know and don't give a shit. Just do that.

bleh..

how is he going to get higher by kicking the legs like i do?

it won't.. all that's going to do is wreck his jumping, trying to do that.. it has no effect on vert, it's just something some people do.

"LEAD BY EXAMPLE" + "BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE" = word.


insanely explosive tonight.. so fast.. wtf.. ballin`

1/15/2011

bw = 155.4
soreness = calfs
aches/injuries = right ankle a little, big toes sore/strained from all the jump rope
fatigue = low
diet = protein shake, cheeseburger, protein shake, training + protein shake, protein shake, turkey & cheese sandwhich


workout #1A: walk + interval sprint/reactive
- 6 mile walk
- interval sprints: 20's, about 6 max effort, insane speed/bounce.. felt perfect
- MR halftucks: 8 x 5


workout #2: strenf + reactive
- HF = half squat
- MRHT = MR half tuck

HS45-10, MRHT-10, HS45-10, MRHT-10, HS45-10, MRHT-10, HS135-5, MRHT-10, HS185-5, MRHT-10, HS235-5, MRHT-10, HS285-5, MRHT-10, HS305-5, MRHT-10, HS325-5, HS275-10 or 11

- soo.. half squat 325 x 5 (tough), then 275 x 10 or 11, just toast again from hitting such a heavy 5, and no strength endurance due to diet.. done after that
- warming up on squat, 135 was FLYING up.. i thought i'd honestly be able to kill 325 x 5 way better.. it's all in my head.



workout #3: calf raises
- 60, 60, 60, 50, 50, 50, 50  


rest tomorrow, just some chinups + lots of prone glute work, then dunking BIG on monday.. hopefully 153 on monday when i wakeup.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

When you tried your reverse dunk, someone said "that was lame".

I didn't think it was lame.

thanks mang, ya i heard that on the vid, sounds like it was directed towards me.. i don't care though lol, i liked it.. when i land it it'll look nice.

someone else gave me a compliment in the audio so i guess they cancel each other out l00l.. on the dunk at 40seconds.

Anyways, starting on 5/3/1 I searched for a spreadsheet and found one that a guy made.  It allows you to chart your projected 1RM based on your 85%, 90%, and 95% lifts for reps.

I know its not entirely accurate, but it's charting based on relative changes in strength.  It charts your projected 1RM for each week and gives you an average bar to see whether your 1RM is rising or declining over the course of your workouts.

Just a thought.

ya those spreadsheets are cool etc, but i need something in people's journals so i can go over their work, sequentially by date, whenever i need to.. the people that have been doing it, like stuckintheair for example, love it.. they acknowledge it takes a bit more work journaling but they are loving how everything is being listed out, making tracking their progress much more efficient.

added this category to the tracker, for safety reminders etc, things that cause setbacks/injuries/too much soreness etc :

« on: January 16, 2011, 12:33:08 am »
those jumps look pretty good to me, good acceleration in the runup + coming in on a nice curve, nice plant, coordination/efficiency looks good in the plant.. just comes down to producing more force imo.

Saturday 1/14/2011:

MEET DAY

-Warmup
  -Light jog, 2 laps. (USU indoor track = 200m)
  -Leg swings
  -Sprint drills (high knee, skips and stuff)
  -Lead leg drills
  -Trail leg drills
  -Hurdle run throughs. Just a few really light over short hurdles

-Long jump
  -5.21 meters
  -Only took one jump. Just wasn't feeling it. May have been the reason for my tension and slight fatigue into 60HH.
  - ~17'1"
  -Somehow took me 10th out of 20. I regret scratching my last jumps now. Probably could have made finals if I actually tried again.

damn.. ya man i mean if you are trying to save energy for another even then fine, but, don't let an initial jump get in your head.




Quote
-60M High Hurdles
  -10.21
  -AWFUL
  -First race, tensed up. Came too high over first hurdles, dipped trail leg and hit the first few with my ankle. Four stepped into last one
  -Must remember to RELAX.

damn :/




Quote
-60M Dash
  -7.78
  - :personal-record: (Don't think I ever broke 8 last year. Was .1 seconds off my friend Tyler, who just missed state for 100m last year)
  -Very light and loose. Better turnover and strength would quickly drop that. Start from blocks was slow. (Full squat might help?)
  -Very satisfied
  - ~16 or 17 out of something close to 40. Ran against people in better divisions and people who have been state finalists.
  -Again... very satisfied.

 :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

well full squat shouldn't be that much more effective than half, in that position.. lunges however, definitely would have some increased transfer to coming out of blocks.





Quote
-400m
  -55.1x hand time. (had to leave early, so I couldn't wait for official results)
  -INDOOR  :personal-record: (53.7x record outdoors, previous indoor record was 58.x)
  -Underestimated sharpness of first curve on the 200m track. Could have had a significantly better start. (Standing start)
  -Cut off by some black guy towards the end of the first lap. Forced to slow down 2nd time into first curve to pass him on straightaway.
  -Apparently I was significantly faster second time, though I felt like my last 50m were slowed down
  -Lactic acids caught up with me last 50m. (significantly better than last 150m from last year)
  - ~1min after race, glutes and hams felt downright fried. Like... overcooked. Quads weren't nearly as bad.
  -Seem to be becoming posterior chain dominant on longer sprints. (Exactly what I want, I always had ham problems last year)
  -MOST SATISFYING EVENT OF THE DAY

 :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

awesome, no puking too? PR




Quote
-Light jog after walking for a bit and letting lactic acid dissipate a bit after 400m
-Light dynamic/static stretching

-Shower + PWO shake.


Disappointed by my hurdles since that's supposed to be my main event. Felt really fatigued throughout. Felt fantastic during warmup, but after my single long jump I just felt like sleeping. Oddly enough, when I had a long break I didn't feel like laying down, because getting back up made me a little light headed and more tired. May have been the coffee I had. Plan on staying off indefinitely in favor of mildly caffeinated green tea more regularly like I did over the summer. I always felt really good on that.
Hurdles definitely need more work, but I'm quite satisfied with the rest of my events even despite the fatigue. I can almost guarantee 52.xx on 400m if I start stronger and don't let my competition block me off.

could have def been the coffee that had you feeling a little uneasy at the start, but, after you ran those hurdles you seemed to finally be warmed up pretty good.. in your warmup, did you do any MAX effort 10's? make sure you get some max effort 10's, either from standing start or block starts.. make sure you are actually firing on all cylinders before just out of nowhere going into long jump etc with only submax efforts.. could have been the reason why you had a weird response.

short ME 10m (5-6 strides) sprints, from blocks or standing, should have no negative effect at all, instead, they should really wake you up and get you ready to go MAX effort for the event on a dime.. just make sure you coast out the decel on the 10's, don't want an intense deceleration.

great work, sucks about the hurdles, but, pretty apparent that you should be setting some PR's there given the 60m-dash and 400m.

peace man!
