I can't believe I overlooked this thread! I haven't really been exposed to much jazz, but the stuff I've heard has been awesome! The synergy between the piano and the drumset is amazing...kickass chords too! So your dad and his friends both composed AND performed this?

ya that's him and his friends playing.. i'm not sure who composed what, whatever the vid says, most of them say composed by alex darqui though or something.. he's written tons of music but jazz is mostly improv.. so iguess he writes a general outline and they all just vibe/improv off that, not sure though.

in regards to the synergy between piano/drums, it's funny because, they hadn't played together in YEEEEEEEARS.. so it's funny how they just came together one day and were able to play like that.

peace man

eek, quad/hamstring soreness today, alot actually.. serious DOMS, i mean, emphasize delayed.. more than yesterday.. from those sprints two days ago.. anyway, sometimes i've had very good dunk/jump sessions when sore, it's rare, but hopefully tonight is one of them.

pc

it happens to me sometimes, sore but very explosive,feels like wire's been connected.lol

ya it's odd, i mean, i feel 'extra stiff', which is a good thing, muscles just lock up very quick/powerfully.. it's definitely off and on, fortunately for tonight, it was on..

sick jumps/dunks tonight, will post some stills in a bit..

FLYING@!$!@$

Hey Andrew,

long time no post but always checking out logs which are great; keep it up!

thanks man, i definitely will.

um

i only have a trap bar at home and was thinking of doing this for ME singles 3 times a week

combined with either hurdle jumps (duct tape bamboo to a tripod which i can adjust works great)

then other 3 days reverse lunges with 40kg/48kg double kettlebells (singles/doubles etc) with a broad jump.

Always try to up the BJ and hurdle jump distance.

Do you think trap deadlifts would work good for this? i dont have a squat rack.

Also how do you think heavy single front squats to parallel would be in terms of benefits compared to the half squats you do?

peace

jon

i'm confused, you want to do heavy singles on trap bar 3x/week AND reverse lunge 3 other days? so 6 total sessions? sorry if i misread..

front squats are AMAZING for vert.. i prefer them over back squat or half squat, it's just they are hard as hell to do imo, most people really find them to be brutal.. they really kill my upper back, put knots in it etc, so thats why i don't do them.. but if you can do them fine, i'd implement them.. i'd try to break parallel on front squat, but if you can't, parallel would be fine.. i wouldn't do any half squat front squats.

trap bar singles would work great.. any form of singles training works great, it just teaches the body to GO HARD THEN RELAX, which is what we see in every athletic cyclinc/acyclic movement... singles can be done on pullup/chinup, squat, trap bar, deadlift, dips, depth drops, oly's, & bench press.

that bamboo/tripod idea is really cool.

peace man

The funny thing about that is that the dude obviously DOES have a really good vert. It might not be 50" but it could easily be 40." Why would he exaggerate so much when it's so obvious that he's lying, and when his actual ability is so solid?

it's just a compulsive liar syndrome.. people who have that shit, they embellish a lie year after year, to the point where they actually start believing it.. it definitely is a mental problem.. i mean he claims he ran 10.x's in 100m under FAKE ID at track meets.. come on now, who the fuck would do that.

i believe his RVJ maximally was 44 or so, that's my prediction.. I doubt SVJ ever cracked 40, from what i see on his DJ video & his dropstep jump footage.

i dno man it's odd..

A historical thread for tvs and the vert community. That was such an exciting time, I remember logging on and seeing that thread.  Detective ADarq sends a ripple through the vert world.

i rippled that shit.

that situation still bugs me, i mean, i know for certain he is a fraud, no one in their right mind would just disappear after something like that without ever proving themselves.. he claims there was video. a normal human would post that video then disappear, to make me look like a total piece of trash.

50" SVJ is t-dub's running vert, STANDING... 55" RVJ is mind blowing.

give me a break, that situation still bugs me.

hah

3-5am workout is insane, why so early/late? Also how come you do heaps of high rep glute bridges?

ya i mostly workout late.. usually 12-2am or something like that.. when dunking it's more of a 9pm-10pm then finish the rest of the work later at home.. my sleep schedule is shifted 6 hours clockwise hehe.

i really love high rep glute bridges, definitely seem to help get my glutes involved more in athletic movements.. it makes them stronger to a point, then, after that, it's mostly just used to active them/increase tone.. more tone/activation in the glutes just means better hip extension so, i really feel the difference.. it seems they are getting in better condition too, when i started them again, 50 glute bridges was really burning, now it's just starting to burn near 100.

peace man

c'mon darqo, hoverin around 150 for time, im waitin to see how excited u get wen u hit the target xD
the heavier my squats get, the more weight i gain, is there anythin i can do to keep it steady, i wana keep below 170, but at the rate im goin il b 90kg wen im squattin 150kg  :-\ 4eva chasin x2bw

well, i avoid putting on mass with squatting by mostly doing singles.. if i were to do 20 rep squats etc, i'd put on alot of mass, every time i've done those, i've grown easy.. but that also leaves my legs feeling like total crap.

ya man i need to get down but i guess im so light right now as it is that it's being a very slow process.. my daily kcal requirement is very low, so it's easy to get those calories in.


Quote
and another one.... if im right ur a long legger like me, do u ever squat below parrallel? nd if u do, hav u ever felt slight discomfort in the front of ur hips wen doin it??

ya i have long legs relative to torso.. well, i have a permanent hip injury from going below parallel, so i rarely ever go below parallel when squatting anymore.. i tweaked it on a deep squat and it's never been the same.. it heals up and hides, but if i go deep again, it comes back.. it's actually been bugging me the last few days.. front of hips, no.. for front of hips, just do some iso bss/iso lunge and hold it for at least 1 minute, 2-3 sets, that'll help stretch your quads/hips flexors out bigtime, pain should go away.

peace man!

never heard of clockers but I should give it a try.

 Ong bak was aight until he whooped 1,000 niggas in a row.


I like them back in the day movies from van damme,sly,arnie.

Blood sport, rambo, rocky,PREDATOR. Just classics.



PREDATOR :D

ya alot of van damme movies were great, same with segal.. action movies now days have too many retarded moves/unrealistic scenes.. in segal movies, he just snapped your arm and stabbed you in the throat with a pool cue, then kept walking with his guido swag.

paginini was a kickass violinist man! props for the vid!

Paginini's "La Campanella", a movement from his 2nd violin concerto.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwmFcu6QAqI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwmFcu6QAqI</a>

Franz Liszt's "La Campanella", from his set Grand Etudes de Paginini (an edited piano transcription of Paginini's original work)

Performed here by Yundi Li: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEnfZjqMSy0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEnfZjqMSy0</a>

I personally prefer Liszt's piano transcription, as it's a lot more complicated. However, Paginini's original violin version is pretty cool too.

i've heard all the paginini vids on youtube lol, i love that one too, but i never bothered looking up franz liszt's compositions based on paginini's work.. awesome post, i'm going to search more lizst stuff now.. man it's crazy what these people can do musically, creating & playing that kind of music.. my dad kept telling me, yesterday, 'look up franz liszt and his piano versions of paganini's music'.

;d

peace

me on IRC, at nearly 7am, looking for my journal on adarq.org: <-- we have so many journals it's ridiculous... loving it :D

<adarq> icant even fucking find my jornal...




10/21/2010

bw = 151
soreness = hamstrings STILL
aches/injuries = none
fatigue = high early on, alot less later on (low)

nothing really, spent all day video editing something for some short-film im making.. was fun, but took all day.. planning on dropping a 10 minute video in a week or so.

workout: from 3am to 5am, pogo hops
- going light, really 'feeling the ground' as i land/take off, trying to just feel like a rubber band
- insane pop on my pogos......................................... submaximally i hit my head on my ceiling without even trying, never have I ever done that before.. so i had to be careful haha..
- so overall felt very bouncy, hopefully tomorrow my hamstring soreness is completely gone because i'm caffing up MAJOR to land some max height/hard dunks.


ate a bunch of chocolates today loool.. cadburry crunch > life.

peace

standing vert: I couldn't use my right arm to gain any momentum for jumping but my standing vert was at all time high while being 235 lbs (yes chocolate milk makes you gain 10lbs in a couple day LMAO)

what the fuck? that's ridiculous.. good shit man.. i would have bet my house against you PR'n on vert given your pec strain.. that is some massive leg power considering suboptimal arm swing.

S.I.C.K <lmao>

I don't know what type of things are going through your head adarq , but.. it's true lol.
Attempt to do 10 ft. depth drop based on your own memories and trying to simulate Level-7 situation just to experiment the usefulness of them. I remember a kid breaking his leg trying to a 10ft+ depth drop doing it once, but... yeah.

did you just read the level 7 thread? if so, amazing right? :)

i'm going to try and video-reenact some of those eventually... that'll be dope as hell.

what's this about someone trying a 10' depth drop though, he actually tried a REAL DEPTH DROP? or he just dropped off something 10' and tried to stick the landing? i imagine the latter..

peace royal
