vid editing crap all day, it's consuming my life, i didn't even like the vids i was making but whatever, the rendering process kills my comp and takes forever sheeeeeit.

planning to dunk indoors tmw, gona do it big.

peace

F. that.
You ain't makin these videos for US main, you're makin em for you, I advise you laying off the vid editing for a week or so now.
Ball hard, get one PR session on tape for 2010 and keep it at that, we don't need videos every day.
If there's anything we want/need is your progress and you ain't progressin as much if you spend hours on end, every day editing a new video.
 I think you're overestimating their value and should take a step back, put things in perspective, this ain't an obligation at all.
F. A dunk travel channel, F. a rant video, F. a f.jumpusa video, just  :ibsquatting: and   :ibjumping: :personal-record:

GIT DEM PRIORITEEZ STR8 SON
NJOY LIFE N GOGIDIT BROO!

nah it's all good i was just ranting, it takes 5-10 hours to render a vid once im done.. i don't like any of my vids if im not jumping 45+ so, i don't like any of my vids until then lol.

i enjoyed how those vids came out after they were done rendering.

big PR's gonna be hard given my ankle issue unfortunately.




hey andrew

for increasing vert,

u reckon trap bar deads  for say 12 singles or so (MSEM) would be a good substitute?

i dont have a squat rack you see

cheers

keep up the great site!

jon

4-8 singles ya, definitely, it could definitely be used for MSEM.

i'd stick with 2 x 4 in the beginning, once you feel good with all those singles, then you could experiment with 8+ rep clusters.

thanks man, cya




wow dud, why do u seem like u workout almost everyday? whats ur current schedule like? your schedule is really one hell of a unique one;.\

chao

sup man

i workout basically every other day:

session 1 = dunks/jumps
session 2 = walk + reactive/sprint + squat


off days = walking + light sprints or whatever


that's it really, i throw in extra rest days when i feel i need it..

i broke that schedule tonight tho koz my ankle is bugging me so much i had to get out some energy.










12/26/2010

bw = 155.6
soreness = nothing
aches/injuries = right peroneal/calf/ankle
fatigue = low
diet = protein shake, burger + green beans + zuccini , protein shake + 4 bananas, protein shake + 4 bananas


workout: 1am - 4am, off and on
- tons of SKIP-pogos and sets of ME MR pogos hitting my head on cieling
- tons of squat holds, shifting knees far forward to stretch calfs
- tons of stretching (quad/calf/hams)


ankle felt gret all day, so did peroneal/calf, once i started doing some pogos bam, right back

no idea how tomorrow is going to go, planned on dunking big.. ill probably still go, warmup, and see what's up.. but if i feel funny then i'll probably shut it down and just coast out some recovery shit for a while, while lifting hard.

bleh

peace



edit: forgot to mention how bionic my legs feel after all those pogos.. feels like im floating i got so much spring.. hopefully tomorrow goes good and ankle isn't an issue, i should be flying tomorrow if it doesn't bug me.. if it bugs me ill have to shut it down tho, cant be f'n with my ankle for 3 straight dunk sessions in a row.

something with the achilles tendon too, cant dorsiflex fully, and when i keep rotating my foot trying to work it, the tendon would sometimes 'click', if u know what i mean haha...

rotate ice & heat, loosen that area up.. probably starting to get tight and lose its tensile strength because of the lack of loading (impacts).. still need to baby your ankle a while longer though, at least until tender to the touch/bruising is almost gone.. that clicking is fine probably, just getting a little tight from a drastic reduction in activity.. do some light stretches, ice & heat.. i wouldnt put heat on the bruised areas though right over the actual ankle injury area.

peace.

thanks darq, im finna get em. Im just tired of these slippery ass tmac shoes.

some new pairs of NZWR's have some "slippery" substance on the rubber, like to make it shinnier, just scrape em up a bit or walk around in em for a few days, gets rid of it.. lots of shoes have that though.

wow check this court, this post is from guga's journal:



Dic 26, 2010

I found were the new courts were built, it was windy, but just 70km/hr. Vert was the same, maybe Ill squat later. My legs still have some residual inflamatory fluid on the upper hams.






The boards have double rim, the lower is 10' I think and the upper is 2-3" higher. I want to congratulate the dumb shit who wasnt able to build a fence or something.

Squats
[135,185,225 x6][275,325 x4][365x2][385,405 x1]
- 405 1x1

* empty BW 194.5lbs. maintaining 194.5lb consistently now. the lifts are easy today. i had saturday off and that extra day of rest made a difference. i could have gone for my work sets of 4reps but getting to the gym at 8am without a strong pre-workout breakfast/dinner is not a good idea.
* next workout is on tuesday. skipped jumps today. want to get 425x2-4 soon and just focus on jumps after that.

why not rotate based on fatigue, instead of a 7 day period? A few of these sessions lately, you rest one extra day and come back very strong.. should just rotate through without woring about wed/sun etc.

?



^ repeatable sub-max jumps are higher and easier. i dont go for max jumps without some sort of squat delaod.  its either the low intensity 18/24" DJ, or the added leg mass, or both..  i can grab rim with both hands consistently and with less effort.

if i need to really put effort in grabbing rim with 2 hands and miss it for a couple of attempts - thats the sign i look for that im not explosive. so far i can always grab rim even on first rep.. so im happy with my jumps. id say repeatable 34-36" while doing 405s.


nice!!!!

merry christmas man!
loving the jumps, you got some ghetto hoops around there

thanks man, ya we got tons of courts.. will be fun to dunk on all of em`.




ya def looks much higher

coo, most people think it does so glad i'm not the only one, definitely felt high as fuck to me when i was there.. heh!






12/25/2010 x-mas, air-jesus style

bw = 155
soreness = none
aches/injuries = left knee achy (from stretching my ankles last night, sitting on my ankles), right peroneal
fatigue = high as F
diet = alot of stuff

tired as hell today.. very odd.

workout #1:
- 6 mile walk with interval sprints mixed in
- for the first 2 miles, i could barely jog, my right lower leg felt so bad, so i sat on a bus stop bench and went to town on my peroneal, massive trigger points,... spent 15 minutes murdering it, then it felt fine the rest of the training.. did it again around mile 4 just in case.. i could feel the muscle in question that i fixed the trigger point in, it was causing so much weird feeling in my ankle/calf until i released it.

workout #2:
- half squat: a little higher: 305 x 7
- half squats, normal depth: 285 x 10, 265 x 12, 245 x 15, 225 x 20, wanted 135 x whatever but was raining too hard

had 2 squat in the rain..

legs were TOAST tonight though, prior to squatting and during walk etc.



recovery: currently foam rolling with PVC/baseball, lots of pain.. my fascia feels horrible.


gonna dunk monday

peace

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hey hey
« on: December 26, 2010, 05:26:37 am »
welcome!

Hi all,  I'm here to achieve some fitness goals.  Especially in regard to improving vert.  I wanted to dunk for as long as I can remember.  Back when i was in high school I put it down a couple times, but I had to throw myself a perfect alley oop to do it.  Years went by and my fitness goals shifted to just basic bodybuilding type protocols....unfortunately I thought i was allergic to squats and most lower body exercises, so it's fair to say I'm pretty upper body dominant.

I turned 32 this past year and I wasn't ready to give up on the goal of dunking.  I started squatting more regularly (and deeper than ever), and started to learn the olympic lifts.  I added in a few sprints, and experimented with a bit of plyo.  Eventually I got to the point where I was able to dunk it pretty consistently. I wasn't able to do anything too impressive, but it still felt pretty awesome to be able to put it down.

damn!!!!!!! nice progress man.

A couple months ago I rolled my ankle badly....haven't been able to play or do much training since.

damn :/ hope your ankle is healing up, is it at least progressing towards 100%? 2 months is pretty long, must have been a very serious sprain.

  Anyway, I'm here to learn, train hard and get results.  If I can encourage others or help in any way that's cool too.   

Cheers,
Clarence

awesome, glad you're here.. i've seen you posted a journal but havn't checked yet, been so busy.

peace
