The flips get addicting. They make you feel like a boss.  Only downside... my legs hurt almost as much as after my squat days right now, my calves are more sore, and I'm pretty sure my abs haven't felt this awesome/sore in a really long time.

awesome.. the landings are pretty intense on flips and variations, because they are torsional.. rotational components etc.. so ya, i can see them really hitting you hard from a force absorption standpoint.

nice

Definitely the best post I have read in years. I've ignored it at first because it was too long, but I'm now glad that I've read it, very very interesting.

If you think about it, a person getting old and keeping the same amount of muscle will get less and less athletic. Why is that happening if that person has the same muscles and strength? Possibly strength goes down as well despite that person having the same amount of muscles and bodyfat. In that case, I think the only logical explanation, besides joint pain when trying to be athletic, jump run etc, is the neurotransmitter speed/hormonal stuff is weaker in the body. That has to be it. It's a change inside the body in itself that makes that person less athletic. There are obviously so many factors though.

if you kept muscle mass the same (which generally doesn't happen, there's usually a decline in overall CSA AND decrease in IIx fibers), it's mostly due to rate abilities (RFD) diminishing (decrease in the discharge rates from motoneurons to the mu's), decreased testosterone/androgens, & decreasing neural drive (increased synchronization of MU's, decrease inhibition/protective mechanisms such as Golgi etc). So, the actual mechanisms responsible for recruiting motor units fast decreases, as well as the ability to voluntary recruit that mass. As people age, they see increased activity of the antagonist (coactivation), which can decrease overall force production, this ties back in with the synchronization of mu's etc.

I'd imagine alot of those changes could be mediated by PED's etc, as long as one stays healthy.. It's not coincidence that with changes to the endocrine system (andropause), power/strength also is effected negatively.

bw = 153
soreness = calfs
aches/injuries = left ankle left lower back.... seems like the dj's freaked my ankle out again.. cutting out drops/dj's until it gets better, will do mr tucks/jumps etc.. was feeling it during DLRVJ's today so that shut me down alot, even tho i was gonna jump shitty regardless
fatigue = high, 7 hours sleep

diet = protein shake + 1 teaspoon coffee, jumps/dunks, protein shake, squatting + protein shake, protein shake, burger + half protein shake + like 30 green beans (gotta get more greens and those are cheap, enjoyed them alot too), 3/4th protein shake



workout #1: jumps/dunks
- jumps, DLRVJ max like 35", SLRVJ max like 33-34, SVJ like 26"
- got close on a few SLRVJ dunks ;d, was fun


workout #2: strength
- squat: BW x 10,    45 x 10,10,10    135 @ 10,    185 @ 8,    205 @ 5,     225 @ 5,      235 @ 10, 10, 10, 10, 13
- a few sips of protein shake after every set of 235, finishing before last set.. really helped calm me down and get rid of the jitters.



245 on sunday gonna try and hit 5x10 with 245, big weight for me... going to film sunday too.

tomorrow im not doing any jumping, i'll be doing light interval sprints + long walking and light BW exercises for upper... have to relax with jumping every other day now until my ankle clears up.. that tweak from the ridge in the dirt really wrecked it up.

hopefully fatigue will be alot less friday and ankle will feel good, then i can go try to hit my head on that indoor backboard.. that indoor court was closed today, sucked, wrestling tournament..

deadlifting on friday is going to be lighter + lots of volume.. my old lower back injury is rearing its ugly head slightly from the deadlifting so, got to go lighter and pretty much focus everything on squat & jumps right now.

peace & hope every1 eats up real good tomorrow







edit: icing helps my ankle immediately so that alleviates the thoughts of it being articular surface related.. feels like tendon/fascia.

Nice stuff... you should be at around 2xBW on the squat (~300lbs+) 

yup, definitely, but still would have to get used to that weight on my back, definitely wouldn't be able to squat 300+ right now unless i spent some time getting comfortable under that weight. i want to keep repping until im 305 x 10 etc.. then ill be very happy.. ;d

thanks man

Some things seems to be lost on me.

First, why the fat jokes? You not supposed to kick your ass in tucks?

I think because my ass was on the video, real close.

ya you can kick your ass in tucks, i prefer to do that than maximally hip flex, which is why they are now known as MR half-tucks or MR buttkickjumps, due to the confusion.

Ahhh. I didnt really notice a big ass. But(t) cool enough.

Second, was that squat? And how deep? And Im guessing it was a PR.

half squat, felt just above parallel, better than last session's 225 @ 11,10,10,10,10.. felt very strong.. and ya that was a recent PR, not sure what my all time PR is.. should be an all time PR though, i'm 152 today & hit 235 x 13 so.. PR

Nice. Congrats man. Your goal is getting very much closer. 

thanks flander, definitely.. pretty certain ill rape 225 x 20 by dec 14.

;d

First day back in any sort of real conditioning. Not weight lifting... but much more fun. Friend's opening up a gymn and we decided to play around today. Learned a proper handstand, but I'm too weak to keep it up. After a few tries I could hold it without trying to hard, but by the end I couldn't keep myself up.

Even more fun... I finally landed a back tuck. Not the crappy flip I was getting every couple months before I tore my deltoid, I got it solid. I probably did over thirty of those today  I took a clip on my phone, I'll upload it to the youtube later.

On the stretching end, his mom knows some weird stuff that got me touching my knees with my nose. Painful, but it felt really good afterward.

Oh, and there were a few sets of dips somewhere in there on the high bars, but I didn't bother keeping track.

I already feel my lats, core, shoulders and full legs hurting. I'm excited to see how I feel tomorrow.

And on another, almost unnecessary, comment... musical at school is over. I'll be going to the weight room Friday, once it's opened, to get back into lifting. I can finally go without having to worry about not having time to eat.

sounds like some fun training, if i had access to a gymnastics gym i'd love learning all those flips and stuff.
