News, Announcements, & Suggestions / Re: Embeding youtube videos
« on: November 30, 2010, 05:01:38 am »
Darq , why can't i use the youtube embeding code like you do? It auto deletes the [htnl] part( spelled that wrong on purpose because it deletes it even in comments! ).
Same thing happens when someone quotes your vids that are embeded like that.
Is it a user priviledge issue or a bug?


nah it's not a bug, it's just people can't use raw html for "security purposes" :/

sorry about that, if you want a vid specifically html'd tell me and i'll do it each time.. just be like

html this

Quads are sore, particularly left quad. More so than after last jumping session. Failure to stretch after workout = idiotic. SMR + stretching + cardio + stretching today should help.

adarq, question about stim: how should I do it?

real quick synopsis, as im being bit by mosquitos..

volume-strength:power:deload-reactive = 1:2:1


session 1:
- warmup
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2)
- MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
- SQUAT: 3 x 3, 3 x 8 (no long pauses between reps, try to get the reps done non stop, last rep should be hard)
- UPPER
- UNILATERAL: 3 x 3e
- OPTIONAL: CORE
- STRETCH


session 2:
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes to fire up: 10 yards x 5
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins
- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 4 (90-95%), 30s or more between singles, bar speed from onset of transition to lockout is essential
- C1: JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 (30%)
- C1-info: if it makes it easier, to db jump squats, jump squats come nearly immediately after a set of MSEM.. so: MSEM, jump squat, rest 2min, jump squat, rest 3min, repeat..... 2 rotations
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
- OPTIONAL: CORE
- STRETCH


session 3:
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes to fire up: 10 yards x 5
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2)
- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
- C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 8 (80-85%), 15-30s between singles, bar speed from onset of transition to lockout is essential
- C1: JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 (30%)
- C1-info: if it makes it easier, to db jump squats, jump squats come nearly immediately after a set of MSEM.. so: MSEM, jump squat, rest 2min, jump squat, rest 3min, repeat..... 2 rotations
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
- OPTIONAL: CORE
- STRETCH


session 4:
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes to fire up: 10 yards x 5
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2)
- ME MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
- ME MR pogo: 5 x 5
- STRETCH


basically:

Day 1: session 1 volume strength
Day 2: recovery
Day 3: recovery
Day 4: session 2 power
Day 5: recovery
Day 6: session 3 power
Day 7: recovery
Day 8: reactive "deload", still max intensity but no lifting
Day 9: recovery and or session 1

so 9-10 day rotation.. in that schedule, day 6, 8, and when you rotate back to day 1 should be the best jumping.. jumping will suffer a bit after session 1 volume.

what you think?

peace man!@$!@

subbed it around.

later today, will do orig mon's work, if i can get off at lunch for a quick workout.

ytd's workout felt great, had alot of energy, mayb it was the frustration from being injured. blasted thru everything, except the heavy bench sets.

nice, so just do lower on wednesday then.

today was a bit pressed for time, had to get to the bank and shit so, started off with some oly lifts

hang clean- barx10
                   95lbsx10
                   135 3x3/ depth jumps 3x until vert dropped a lot
Jump squat/ REA squats- 3x8 roughly (65lbs, still getting used to the REA squats, form still sucks so not going heavy)

cleans- 135, 3x8/ tuck jumps 3x8

giant set of
weighted jumping split lunges or whatever 3x? prolly around 5
running 2ft jumps(3 steps or so) 3x3
medicine ball pogo jumps 3x8

legs are fatigued

i have videos of the jumps, weird angle (used with the ipod) but the desk i tried to compare it to is idk ill have to measure how tall it is but i think i was getting a lil over 30"s on the jumps.  The big air conditioner thing i was hitting was about 9'6 in the air and i was getting full hand on it(+8inches)

but ill upload them a lil later, had a bowl of Kashi cereal so gotta dump

upload that shit!@$ but not to metacafe, make a youtube mang.. come on, metacafe sucks ;d

Nothing specific but most people who played as much basketball and other sports as I did along with extreme training will have some degree of damage at my current age.  For years I played on concrete courts and that probably has a lot to do with it. I've never had a single acute injury that kept me out of action - I've had tendonitis and an occassional ankle sprain but no ligament tears, muscle tears or anything like that..just general wear, tear, and age. The training I consider the least of the culprits...the only thing I've done trainingwise that I thought that jacked me up pretty good was some of the DB hammer stuff like REA squats.

I also had some degree of rheumatoid arthritis, which is an immune disease where your immune system attacks the joints. Mine was fairly mild as far as that goes and just caused fatigue, general muscle stiffness, and chronic pain in my hands, fingers, toes, and ankles.  It's pretty much gone now but I imagine it did/does spill over and affect the larger joints to some extent even if it didn't cause me pain. I'm not sure much my knee and hip issues are due to that and how much is due to just general wear and tear. I can still sprint without problems but there's just too much ground reaction force in the jumps and I can't bend my knees enough at high speed to get a 100% effort in without jacking myself up.

What say you, adarq?

how intense did he go? what kind of style did he use? inno recommends 30-70% of 1RM from what I remember.. i don't think people should go up much over 50%.. Alot of people on the db forum also do REA squats DEEP.. I think going heavy + DEEP REA is risky, but half squat REA should be fine, at ~30-50%, no more than that.

I remember KB posted in db forum that he attributed alot of knee issues to front squatting, but front squatting was very effective at improving his SVJ, something along those lines:

Quote from: KB?
My front squats have always been painful and never been very good in comparison to back squat because of my longer femurs, but I've done around 275 x 1 at around 160. The combination of front squats and power snatches made a very noticeable and immediate impact on my standing 2 handed jump with a basketball in hand. The effect was immediate and seemed to effect that style of jump more than any other. However, I blame the front squats on instigating the quad tendonitis I eventually developed in both knees. If you have posterior tilt or naturally weak hamstrings I'd stay away from front squats as they effectively take the hamstrings nearly completely out of the movement.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High squat, low VJ?
« on: November 29, 2010, 10:28:31 pm »
adarq, isnt that what periodization basically is


huh?

people often for some reason fall into the linear periodization mindset, working on heavy strength training with very little to no focus on explosive/reactive movements.. so for example, a "max strength block" ends up being ~8 weeks of strength work with basically no reactive/explosive work, then they shift into an "explosive block", this is always a bad idea imo.. that time spent re-learning how to absorb/produce force fast will have to occur in the explosive block, when it should have been provided in the max strength block.. so that's all i'm getting at, these people who think they should separate training into blocks that focus pretty much entirely on one quality. That's why i'm for non-linear models, which is how my ratio technique article works etc..

"He said that he never did his lifts explosively and that he put on slow-twitch muscles, hence the lack of pop in his jumps. But wouldn't the strength from his high lifts compensate for that?"

i was addressing the stuff in bold, damien already addressed the slow-twitch comment hehe.

peace man

Would doing plyos help his vert?
I saw the difference between his running and standing VJ as sign of some decent reactive ability, so I didn't know how he would be able to improve his reactive ability. I guess I was way off, so he would see best gains with explosive lifts and maybe plyos?

if you don't perform athletic movements (reactive, explosive, plyo etc), then your ability to perform those movements will diminish even if your "lifts" are going up.. Everything is a skill, so, not improving your body's ability to absorb/produce force rapidly is lost with detraining of explosive/reactive movements. There is no reason to periodize explosive/reactive movements, they should ALWAYS be included in an athlete's training program, it's just the volume/intensity that changes based on the type of workout or block you are in.. so ya, if someone is performing ONLY heavy lifting yet is somehow (wtf) doing all of that for athletic performance improvement, they will lose the ability to absorb/produce force fast, it's just how the body adapts..

whatever the stimulus, or lack thereof, the body will adapt accordingly..

Squats
[185,225 x6][275,325 x4][365x2][385,405 x1]
- 405 3x1

Speed
- 10 yd sprints 4x5
- 18" depth jump 10x2

* not recovered from weds squats. rep 3 of 405 is an 8.5-9/10 lift. rep 4 would have been killer for lower back.
* skipped back up paused sets.
* warmup sprints got me sweating on whatever else i did after it.  depth jump performed for quick transitions, not max jump attempts.

18" depth jumps

warmup sprints

nice job on dj's/sprints, i'd personally focus more on the first few steps on the sprints.. you're easing in then hitting some hard strides towards say ~7 yards (i forget, should have counted).. i'd try and generate that power on the first through third steps.. turn on maximally from nothing.

high off the dribble dunks are much sicker in my opinion man...

do more of those... one handers... two handers...

they have more crunch... and more intensity than lobs...

they're game like...

you're getting higher everyday man!

even with "injured ankles"

ya im getting in more practice off the dribble, i just lose so much height off dribble.








Those black guys have some big ass shoes, they look horrible. I can only imagine how well they'd jump with proper jumping shoes.

ya F basketball shoes.. regardless those dude's were pretty strong you can see it.. well one was pretty tall (the one clip of two hander), but the other two were around my height.. "brandon" was maybe 6'2, other guy was 6'1 or 6'

would be interesting to see them jumping in waffle racers ;d would take some time to get used to them but then they would have so much more speed in the runup and much better plants.

god we need a thread on how people play 21 in every state /country.. hah


Maryland: they're called "taps" and it's up 3 down 3. That down to 0 shit is so annoying, makes the game take forever. And there's definitely no D except 1-on-1. Playing help D in 21 is a great way to avoid getting rebounds and therefore to lose.

ya it's like, hey good job u can do a putback, now I have to goto zero because you did that easy shit? gtfo.

workout #2:
- half squat: 45 @ 3 x 10,     135 @ 5,     185 @ 5,     225 @ 5,     235 @ 3,      245 @ 10, 10,        225 x (wanted 20, but legs dead, got 7)



...bitch! lol kidding better off you stayed with the 7, could of got ugly with 7 squats and 13 squat morning poo reps. good job knowing when to back off

ya, the 2nd set of 245 x 10 was pretty hard.. figured 225 would be alot easier but first few reps felt horrible, just major dropoff/fatigue bit me in the ass real quick.

i'm pretty fatigued this morning, all that bball definitely has something to do with it.

peace mang
