its weird, i always jump like shit at the high court at the company gym, but the pr court has always treated me reasonably well.

sometimes a high rim/goal like that can really shut you down, try thinking about getting more of your hand over than just touching it etc.. on 10', think about getting mid forearm, on high rim, think about getting half of hand, etc.. look a few inches above that rim, don't set your eyes right on the rim.. it's off & on though, sometimes it just looks too daunting, but other times it really helps you get up a bit higher.

forgot to mention that on a whim i tried out my SLRVJ, also after the knock. got 1-2 inches both tries. and now that im typing this, i just realised that the fella ran into my left leg, my jumping leg. cant wait till the next time i get to hit this court again.

damnnnnn...... that sounded like a promising session.

pc, heal up quick.

Some data structures for the UltimateAthlete struct:

typedef struct UltimateAthlete {
uA_bioanalysis_t        bioanalysis; // height, weight, age, name.. contains pointers to muscleanalysis, boneanalysis, etc
uA_injury_history_t    injury_history; // list of bone, tendon, ligament, etc injuries sustained
uA_training_history_t training_history; // linked list of training programs/systems utilized, including sub-lists of training sessions per day, also including the pre-testing & post-testing results for each training program
uA_muscles_t            muscleanalysis; // linked list of each muscle group, force & length/tension characteristics, dynamic/static/passive flexibility characteristics, injury history list, circumference/CSA - complete mapping, fiber composition, tendon lengths to insertion on bone
uA_bones_t               boneanalysis; // list of bone lengths, csa's - complete mapping, bone density
uA_braintype_t          brainanalysis; // the conscious & subconscious psychological aspects of the athlete
uA_diet_t                  dietaryanalysis; // a list of days with sublists to each meal/snack/liquid intake for that day, based per 24hour period
uA_sleep_t                sleepanalysis; // a list the sleep habits experienced per day, for how long, feeling upon waking, how long it took to sleep, etc
} uA_t;


next, define those substructures lolz (ok lets just picture them for now).

everything could then be linked together based on timestamps, or, have it organized a different way, an array of ultimateAthlete structures with all information filled in for that day, each member of the array is the day they were alive, so you can just access ultimateAthlete[365] for data @ 1 year of age, then ultimateAthlete[365*20] for 20 years of age. Then you wouldn't have to keep a history any longer, the history would be in the array, the only thing you'd need to keep lists for is things that attach, like the muscleanalysis & boneanalysis substructures.

lool.



feedback_t * TrainingSession(ultimateAthlete_t *ua, ...) where ... is a variable length number of arguments consisting of an exercise_t *, which includes sets, reps, rest intervals, tempo, cues, weight lifted/height achieved/etc.. a feedback_t is returned, which contains lists of exercises & their outcomes, to monitor progress properly or to flag an exercise as dangerous or currently too intense, etc.

feedback_t is then used to update progressions, re-calculate maxes, flag exercises by adding them to integrity checks prior to sessions (ie, aquireListOfSafeExcercises( my_trainer->data ); )

etc

lolzlzlz

lol..

That's interesting. So you are against the negative part? I do my calve raises on those elevated pad machines , so i go from negative to full extention , should i switch them to feet flat on the ground and just raise?

ah you took me wrong, i mean, overloaded negatives.. only negatives, using a weight so heavy that you can't lift concentrically.. that's something that lots of bodybuilders have incorporated for a long time now.

my bad should have clarified more

pc

nice...what height where u at when u started dunking?

10'8 with a ball i could palm, with a ball i couldn't palm - off lob; around 10'10 or so.

Random question that doesnt belong in ur log, when you do depth drops, where should your head be looking??  (straight, down?)

definitely straight ahead, down is a big n0n0.

peace mang

the dog looks cute 

thanks alot ya people are 'melting' over him outside/wherever we took him.. hah.. we got lucky finding this dog, he's really interesting, very obedient right off the bat, really cool personality, doesn't bark yet either.. which is odd.

backboard jumps lookin crazy... tho u gotta hv somethin wrong in there for wanting to hit ur head hard haha, a touch is fine, but a hard hit... 

haha thanks.. crazy for hitting head on backboard pad? nah..... crazy for hitting head on wooden pizza-stop signs, yes.

;d

why do u do that leg bendin thing tho when u jump, that butt kick motion thing.

dno, just a reflex.. it's odd though.. i actually like how jumps look without the leg kick, they look higher without the leg kick imo.. you get more of a 'float' look with legs straight pretty much the entire time.

Well I don't feel like there's another way... I don't see one. It's not like I'm competing in powerlifting, 3 months should be "enough" for strength training.

3 months is not that much but its not little either. From personal experience your main concern should be the cutting phase , it is imperative to maintain strength in order to avoid yo-yo.
So connecting that to JCs post , IMO 3 months of bulking are enough to put some serious mass and strength , but then yo umust plan the fat-loss phase really good. I would suggest caloric deficit and increased cardio combined with heavy singles ( MSEM ) workouts & big eating. It should be more like a try-catch approach , start with a scheme ( low eating + MSEM ) , see how your body responds to it , adjust , retry and so on...

void fat_loss_phase( void )
{
    project_plan = init_fat_los_plan();
    do{
        iok = attemptFatLoss( project_plan );
        if( iok != continue_current_plan ){
             project_plan = adjust_project_plan()
        }
    }while( iok != fat_loss_achieved )
}

int attemptFatLoss( int project_plan )
{
    int iret;

    if( doFatLoss( project_plan ) != succesfull ){
         iret = needs_adjust;
    }else{
        if( isFatLossComplete() ){
            iret = fat_loss_achieved;
        }else{
            iret = continue_current_plan;
        }
    }
    return iret;
}


Note that this programm deliberately doesn't have an abort case , it will continue forever untill you succeed!

GO GET IT!

epic post, hall of fame status.






adjusted for raptor:

typedef struct exercises {
char * name;
int status;
} exercise_t;

exercise_t exercises[EXERCISE_MAX];


void fat_loss_phase( void )
{
    project_plan = init_fat_los_plan();
    init_exercise_list();
    do{
        iok = attemptFatLoss( project_plan );
        if( iok != continue_current_plan ){
             project_plan = adjust_project_plan()
        }
    }while( iok != fat_loss_achieved )
}

int attemptFatLoss( int project_plan )
{
    int iret;
    exercise_t * ex;


    ex = provide_safe_exercises();
    if(ex == NULL) { puts("you're fucked, relax"); exit(1); }

    if( doFatLoss( ex, project_plan ) != succesfull ){
         iret = needs_adjust;
    }else{
        if( isFatLossComplete() ){
            iret = fat_loss_achieved;
        }else{
            iret = continue_current_plan;
        }
    }
    return iret;
}

#define EXERCISE_CURRENTLY_SAFE 0
#define EXERCISE_CURRENTLY_UNSAFE_AND_PROBLEMATIC 1
#define EXERCISE_CURRENTLY_UNSAFE_DONT_FUCKING_DO_IT 2

exercise_t * provide_safe_exercises(void) {
exercise_t * ex = NULL;
int i; for(i=0;i<EXERCISE_MAX;i++) { if(!(exercises.status == 1 || exercises.status == 2)) { ex = &exercise; break; }}
return ex;
}





ok typed that out real quick, hope it compiles.

Personally I find box jumps kind of impressive, it takes alot of balls to jump onto a ~60-65+ inch box fully knowing that there is high possibility of eating shit and hurting yourself....

ya i'll give you that.. i respect the athletes who go ME on box jumps, especially on stacked metal boxes, but I think the ones coaching them to do it are usually pretty stupid for prescribing ME box jumps, especially when they then use box jump numbers to show "performance enhancement" <-- hey go F yourself people, you know who you are.

The real skill in it is being able to get your knees past your face..

haah truth.
