i havn't seen any marks left by them, check some videos of me using them indoors:

check that grip im getting in them too, shit is nuts.. they definitely take time getting used too though, especially if your ankles are weaker from wearing basketball shoes for so long (even more so if you wear high tops).

peace man

interesting, you've read studies on that or what? curious
At each segmental level, the calculated anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) was more than 3 times greater in the black group compared with the white (P<0.001). The psoas minor muscle (PMI) was absent in 91% of the black subjects, but only in 13% of the white subjects. These data show that the PMA is markedly larger in black than white subjects. The marked race specific difference in the size of the PMA may have implications for hip flexor strength, spine function and race specific incidence in low back pathology, and warrants further investigation.

damn interesting, and some of us thought you wouldn't have a study.. hahaha

nice

Do you really sound like that with the "urban" accent or are you doing that on purpose?



ooo ok.. ya i can see how you can get that from his comment, jcsbck is probably really wondering though if i'm faking it.. i've known him for a long time, he's cool & a nut.

nice, dimas/boevski both have had some serious knee surgeries, they are top echelon elite.. i'd like to see some injury profiles for elite lifters, during career and after.. i mean just from what i've seen, plenty of them are getting knee surgeries.

shit that was insane, the crowd went crazy too

i wonder if he'll be in the dunk contest, in a way i hope not just because i don't know if he would do that well in it i think he's a much better in game dunker

ya i dno, i think he'd still be impressive though given his size + vert, kind of henry bekkering-ish.. i'd like to see derrick rose in it.. isn't there gonna be some guest dunker this year, or maybe tfb/sprite is bs'n.. i thought the guy who wins that/gets voted in, is actually competing in it.. should be really cool if it happens lol.

If you have access to an indoor basketball court, you can do sprints. They don't have to be long --10 yards of max effort is plenty-- and for people like you or me, who have trouble expressing power despite reasonable strength levels, short sprints can definitely help a lot.

Thanks for the suggestion, an indoor court would be sweet and be just the ticket. My gym dosen't have a court and my only current solution to sprints seems to be running them after the kids are asleep in the dark/rain on my gravel driveway.
Although I think I saw a Frank Yang video with him sprinting at night?

ya, frank yang had a beastly 30m sprint.

he did them outside in a few places, and on a track.

i do my sprints outside on pavement/pure concrete but i'm adapted to very hard surfaces..

all n all im around 231-233 which is normal for me to stall for a bit then i gotta break through it.

i just ordered purple wraath from controlled labs so that should help out, cant get it till xmas tho.


anyway today

woke up, went to the gym

did a leg day, speed shit

i dont remember the sets reps i did so ill just list off the exercises

REA squat
jump squats
weighted jump lunge things
sprints
depth drops
1 leg box squats


3 mile run


went home ate a salad

before work had 1 grilled cheese sandwhich

bought a 10th planet hoodie

went to the gym, vacuumed for 10 minutes got bored.

ran again- 30 minutes

started off at  6.5 mph, half way through went up to 7.5mph, last 4 minutes went up to 8mph

i managed to make it 3.5 miles this time

so im averaging over 6 miles a day of a cardio

i stopped the 2 hours a day and just went to 1.  the 2 hours was on elliptical n shit that didnt keep my heart rate up, i figured an hour of hard cardio on the treadmill is more sufficient

came home, made up 4 lil hamburgers, just cheese on them, nothing else

6 miles a day cardio  :headbang:

very good, that's how you drop fat folks.

Okay, so I haven't posted on here in a while. I have however been doing my indoor track workouts. Stayed off the heavy lifting until I could find out for sure what was up with my arm. This week track has been really slow. Mostly hurdle form and running form stuff to try to get the new people to run with high knees and flexed toes. I'll be getting a schedule next we so we can rework my lifting routine.

So on to the more important stuff... today I found out what really happened. Medical anatomy teacher (also the school's trainer) explained what happened. What I have isn't really a bruise and my vein didn't really get punctured. Considering the abnormal pain I felt with the needle first entering, I think the needle did go through. But that shouldn't be enough to keep me bruised that long. If I remember the explanation right, what happens is while the nurse removed the needle she made a mistake in the way she cut off the blood flow to the vials they use for testing, or did it out of order or something, and the blood in the tube "backfed" into my arm. It was too much for the veins to keep up with so it pooled. Rapid change in blood pressure explains why it's the only time I've ever felt like I was about to black out. There's really nothing to do about it. It seemed to get worse at first because the blood that backfed and pooled has to dissipate in my arm.

So yeah... I'm set to go and apparently it'll still take about two weeks until it looks 100% normal again. I can do all my normal exercises already. The dissipation also explains why my light runs and workouts during this first week of indoor have only made it feel better. Even though heavy stuff feels uncomfortable right now, the bloodflow from the lighter aerobic stuff is just helping it dissipate faster. Kind of awesome, but the blood pooling still looks pretty gross.

ya man i knew something was up, damn that's nutty.. another reason (excuse for myself) why i won't give blood.

man hope it heals up quick, thats crazy though.. where's the pic? :) i'm curious to see this shit, it sounds like something out of that movie "requium for a dream", at the end, with his heroin hole in his arm.

Bodyweight is 230ish...trying to get to 198ish with very low fat.

that'd be crazy, you'll be flying so ridiculous if you maintain most of your strength on that.. up the cardio (basketball) a little & clean up the diet a little, and that's more than enough to get that fat loss kick started.. when do you plan on being 198? doesn't matter? or is there a timeline goal?

I don't doubt the zoom waffle racers at all. I have been training in a pair of Adidas Fluid trainers. Probably not quite as light as the Waffle racers  but pretty light, very comfortable, nice flexible soul - basically awesome.

They look good with jeans too.

JW

What about naked? I really like women in high heels when naked though.

Oh yeah Raptor. I look good in them naked too. But I look great in anything naked due to my extreme buffness and super tight abs.  8)

I also like women in high heels and no clothes. It is a strange combination really to like. I mean if you are a women and yo uhave taken off your clothes, presumably to ahve sex, then surely it isn;t that big a deal to whip off the shoes too! Oh well, that is pornorgraphy messing with our modern male psyche for you.

Yeah but I don't want her to whip the shoes off too. I like to keep them there. Makes her butt more rounded and anteriorly rotated, which looks much better. Plus it elongates the legs.

lol
