In Atlanta for work. Thought I was gonna have time to work out down here but they've got us planned down to the god damn minute. Oh well.
Hi guys after a few weeks of lurking in these forums I've decided that I wanna "learn" free-running/parkour is learn is the term but I'm a tennis/basketball player so I really do not know where to start for Parkour. If you guys have any helpful suggestions please post thxs.
Lmao about this thread, i feel the same way, its that stupid west side craze that sucks everyone in to thinking box jumps are the be all to end all vert training exercise. Doing box jumps is what stuffed my back up for another 2 months, landing in such an unctrolled fashion(barely ever do you land on the balls of your feet, usually your whole foot all at once-which sends so much force through your body), with a massive flexed back, cant be good at all.
lol i got so sucked into this fad that i even contemplated going to clark rubber to get mats to put on my 30inch table to increast the heigh.
so 4 hours later i hear a huge thud, come out, there he is again, this time worse with a bloody head/small lump.. he's fine but i knew he was trying to 'escape' (his words), he feels like he can do things by himself but he can't stand/walk without us (me/my dad) holding him up.. so anyway, after this second fall it seems like it sunk in that he can't be doing that shit, i mean it's been 2 years since he's been able to do it. he'll forget months from now and do that dumb shit again, i just explained to him that if he broke his hip, life would truly be hell.Mate, those jumps are absolutely ridiculous at how high you are off the ground, my mind is blown
That third pic
tried editing some dunk scene for my vid tonight, pretty annoyed, since i can't use the music i've wanted to use for so long, because it'll get flagged, i have to find other stuff.. can't find anything.. well i found something but it doesn't fit the session.
peace
Yeah you can bro. You have to edit the music in someway so that it differs from the original..

the sound of the ball agaisnt the ground, the sound of the dunk, the sound of the rim getting raped. Thats the only music you need.
Hey everyone,
I'm a 29 year old dude from the Netherlands (close to Amsterdam). I've been obsessed with vertical jump training all my life, came at a stop at 22 years old, discovered american football, and became really heavy, like 240 lbs at 6"2. Ironically, that's also the time in my life I jumped the highest. However, my knees paid (tendinitis and meniscus problems), I got fat, and now just try to reclaim what was lost. I must admit I'm also a afraid my age won't let me come back, but I'll try regardless.
I don't have any vids, but in my best year, I could tomahawk a bball two handed and windmilled it once. I'm a classic two legger, I can barely dunk one legged. I squat around 385 at 225 rock bottom, nothing special.
And my advice to the youngsters: pick a routine, keep it simple, and stick with a few exercises. I've wasted many years doing all kinds of complicated stuff, whereas the basics would've been all that was necessary.
I hope to regain my vert and then some, gain back my one legged vertical, and finally squat 2x bodyweight this year, at a bodyweight of 200lbs or less.
Peace! Nice site btw, Keep it up Andrew....

22 October 2010
PHASE 1 - Cycle 3 - Hypertrophy Workout 1
Bodyweight@session : ~196,5
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : none
SQUATS :
1x6@187
1x6@198 , ( -11 lbs )
1x6@209 , ( -22 lbs )
1x6@220 , ( -33 lbs )
187 , 199 , 209 sub-parallel , 220 half-squats.
Decided to focus on depth at that cycle , that's why loads went down.
220 was too easy though because i used the same increment with sub-parallel sets ( 11lbs ) , must remember to push the half-squats more.
BSS:
1x8@154 , ( -22 lbs )
1x8@176 , ( -22 lbs )
1x8@198 , ( -22 lbs )
Didn't remember the weights correct , duh!
LEG CURLS:
1x8@88 , ( -11 lbs )
1x8@99 , ( -11 lbs )
1x8@110 , ( -11 lbs )
1x8@132 , too heavy , limited ROM.
SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
1x12@110 , ( +22 lbs )
1x12@110
1x12@110 , ( -22 lbs )
Everything weak except from the deep squats , those were good.
wanted to go jump today, but smog/haze was real bad.
neighboring country with her fires, blowing all the smoke over dammit.
I like the angle in this pic. Head height looks very high and feet look very high off the ground. NICEEEEE
