ya i occasionally frequent both of those sites, beastskills is real nice.. LBSS actually knows the guy who runs it i think.

True. Jimmy's a great dude. Super friendly, helped me a TON with my squat, DL and bench form a while back and got me into the whole trigger point thing. When he's bored in between client training sessions he does one-arm handstands or kip-free muscle-ups on the pull up bar. He got voted best personal trainer in DC this year, too (in the City Paper, I think, or maybe the Washingtonian).

What I'm saying is, I want to be like Jimmy when I grow up, but with better hops.

I've seen a video of him doing windmills, or w/e that breakdance move is called, then grabbing rim double handed.

Pretty decent hops for the kind of upper body development he's got.   

url?

I did this before, actually I'm in that phase where you're getting back to normal sleep again. Definitely was weird, I think my personality changed and I was really tired all the time. -It's hard to get back to normal when you've done this for like half a year. I loved those naps, felt really good, especially in class. My family hated me though and they always screamed like bitches lol.

i am amazed that two people have done this on this forum.. i never thought i'd run into anyone who has tried that.

haha..

what made you want to try that out? how did you come across it?

pc

i was just looking at the jumps again, and one of the pictures i didn't include was this one.. which i realized is pretty high, considering my arm is bent forward as far as it is with wrist still over rim.. this jump has me happy

just timed his kiss-the-rim jump in AE, 30 frames.

so ya, regardless of rim height, that is flying.

Andrew are you seriously air alerting?!?

 

jk, crazy stuff as always.

sort of, hah!

peace

That's way tight!

Actually, this is an addition to Phase III Day 23: Lift tons of heavy gymnastics equipment off a big truck and move into leased building for my friend's brother's new gym. (Which will open Monday, and I might just end up going once in a while)

awesome, if i had access to a gymnastics gym you bet your life i'd be in there.. i love all that stuff those guys do but i'd need some foam pitts / spring mats to get comfortable with, can't bring myself to try that stuff on grass !

sounds like fun

WORKOUT.

workout #1: dunks/jumps
- for pictures of the jumps check here: http://www.adarq.org/forum/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq%27s-journal/msg14792/#msg14792
- got up pretty good, was surprised.. didn't land any dunks though, my throws were way off for the most part


workout #2: running/strength
- bleh! it was pouring, had to run with a raincoat "hoody", like a windbreaker.. poured even more when i was squatting, like major rain storm heh.. feels refreshing though.
- 3.9 mile run, slow/relaxed
- half squat: 45 @ 4 x 5 / 135 @ 1,1 / 185 @ 1,1 / 225 @ 1 / 245 @ 1 / 265 @ 1
- hit 265 for a single @ 152 lb bw, 1.75xBW.. felt good but definitely starting to get heavy..
- planned on hitting four singles with 245 after, but just raining too hard
- glute bridges @ 4 x 30, 2 x 50

pC!@!#!

lookin lean.....well I doubt you need to pay attention to the "low T" commercials lmao 

thnx mang!! heheh

my T is pretty high i'd bet, but regardless of T, i have some genetic predispotion to being a skinny stick, i probably have ridiculous amounts of myostatin.

"Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor is a secreted TGF beta protein family member that inhibits muscle differentiation and growth. Myostatin is produced primarily in skeletal muscle cells, circulates in the blood and acts on muscle tissue, by binding a cell-bound receptor called the activin type II receptor.[1][2] In humans, myostatin is encoded by the MSTN gene.[3]

Animals lacking myostatin or animals treated with substances such as follistatin that block the binding of myostatin to its receptor have significantly larger muscles.[4]"



i am a myostatin producing machine
