ok got around to making some stills before i drop the vid on my misc footage account.


my highest touch for height came on my very first jump, wtf? then jump 2 and 3 were lower.. that's some odd shit..
















all of my dunk makes to the right side of the rim, with this angle, have some major distortion, but they were good dunks










this dude is like 6'3 or so, sprited but almost had one








this dude is like 6'2 i think.. or 6'1.. sprited on this one

Mixed Martial Arts / Re: VAN DAMME GONNA DO MMA WTF YAAAAAAAAA!!!

its possible if it stays stand up, he was a kickboxing champ at one point, and a few people have proven age in the 40s isnt a big factor anymore ( cotour and lesnar fight)

will he win, probably not, but hopefully he doesn't bitch out

itd be smarter for him to just go back into a kickboxing tournament over in europe or something and stay away from MMA, since it includes a lot more than just stand up

he's too old to go back into kickboxing, he'd get killed.. he actually has a better chance in mma, where the standup, especially on the lower levels, is horrid.

also are the Nike Zoom Waffle XC VII the same as the nike zoom waffle racers VI? (or maybe more improved?)

dno, they look very similar, but i'd have to try on the Waffle Racer VII.. not sure if the "XC" is the same though.

To me, in that picture you look like 3-4 inches away... it's too far away from the camera though and the angle distorts it, so I don't know. Definitely not 1 inch away...

i'm directly under the backboard, behind the net.. see the white line on the ground, i'm directly over that also.. check the proportions. heh

also, explain to me how you get 3-4"? i mean, we clearly see like 1" away on pic, but how do you get 3-4"? you just making up a number or what? lool

ripp was kidding with his 5-6" comment.


Well that certainly isn't 1 inch. Maybe one inch on the monitor screen :D

whatever that means.. congrats though at being blind as fuck.. gj.

If you think that what looks 1 inch from 30 feet away is really 1 inch in reality, then... well... :-*

I'd say it's somewhere between 1 and 2 inches, but still very close. Just look at the proportions and you'll see it can't really be more than that.

Man the day you hit your head is gonna hurt...you'll be jumping up max effort not expecting it, then BANG...gonna be epic though, looking forward to seeing some footage of that.

thank mang

nah it won't hurt, there's a pad there.. lol.. hitting it on pure metal/glass backboard would hurt ya, but not a pad :)

pad feels cool, i hit the other pad at the outdoor-roofed court, that backboard is lower..

If there's anything I ain't, then I ain't an adarqui hater... I couldn't ever be. But again, 1 inch from that camera distance and angle is much more there. If there would've been a one inch distance, then from this angle it would seem his head hit the backboard. It's interesting since Andrew is pretty tough on his jumping in terms of inch-inflation, so it's somewhat surprising, which means he really genuinely believes it's 1 inch. One inch it's two squares on a math paper.

nah dude, im UNDER the backboard.. i could see if i was way in front of it, head near net etc, but im far behind the net in that pic.. in all those head height pics i am behind the net, right under the backboard hehe.

regardless ill hit my head on it and that'll be that.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Great forum section
« on: November 22, 2010, 01:25:16 pm »
Well there's nothing to appreciate, really, I was just speaking my mind like I always do. If you were to suck in my mind, then I would've said that... But since you don't, then it's great. There are so few good people to talk about training you can just count them in single digits. You're one of them, although maybe your biggest flaw is you take things personally too quick, just as an observation :P

It's great not to be politically correct these days :D

taking things personally, quick, is a good sign imo..

if you can dish out a severe beating when someone slight's you, that means you're not a sissified coach who is constantly thinking about "image"..

for example, you will piss lance off eventually on here and he will come at you hard, and I will laugh, but it will be all good, because we're all friends trying to improve.. that's how it is in the gym :)

When I first started doing low bar squats, the first thing I have witnessed was GREAT vastus medialis recruitment. That only happened in that first session and never happened again. I have no idea what this means.

quads are strong, vmo is probably adapted.. doubt it's a firing issue.. the quads usually aren't the weak link in a parallel/below parallel squat so, you're not going to get vmo/quad soreness much at all as you progress, they will pretty much always be one step ahead of the hams/glutes.

That 705 dl looked so easy  :strong:
thanks big P....after I loose weight (during decem/jan) I might take a shot at the highest deadlift by a teen ever (current is 815)

awesome man, if you decide to go that route, you will really pose a legit challenge to that record, would be insane to see you get it..
