YO!!!
i tried this, its only rubbish for the 1st few weeks when your body adapts to the sleeping pattern. probably not recommended for peak performace workin out, but if u wanna research dream land, then its perfect. i did 20min naps every 4hours, it was intense the 1st few days, overnappin and feelin real tired. after a few weeks, the naps started feelin different, sumtimes id fall asleep str8 away and the second i fell asleep i heard the 20min alarm go off, that freaked me out a few times. other times id wake up at the alarm and it would feel like iv been asleep for hours. the best times were wat is called hypnogogia, inbtween sleep. id feel my body go sleep, but my mind wanders, and wat i was thinkin about turned into a semi dream, real quick flashes of lucidity, and sumtimes wen i kept focus i could b lucid for a few mintues.

polyphasic is pretty cool if you hav an empty schedule, and you wana amillion more minutes in your day. i was learnin spanish, and studyin freeman law xD i cudnt keep it up kuz it was messin wiv the relationship, i like fallen asleep wiv my lady and wakin up next to her, i started missin it too much to carry on xD learnt alot about my body through this, that switchover between wake/sleep is an interesting phaze.
The main goal for at all is REM sleep, and from some stuff i read thats when most of the tissue rebuilding happens, so with enough time your body can adapt to hit rem every 20 min nap, givin u 2hours of dream/rebuid time throughout the day. sounds good in theory, u jus gotta giv urself enough time to adapt. 

xD
pieca peace



wow, amazing that someone actually did this.. great insight pope!

i imagine the worst thing would definitely be having that schedule conflict with your job, family, girlfriend, etc, like you said.. it would end up making things very difficult.. if you are a solo loner with not much obligations, sounds like it could be pretty cool, except how you say you wouldn't do it if you were into peak performance etc..

one thing i noticed since starting long distance running again, is that i am sleeping less every night.. but i feel alert/rested when i wake up.. i've been requiring 9 hours or so sleep for months, now i keep waking up with 7-8 feeling pretty good.

peace man, thanks for this post

Yeah, I could dunk on a 9' rim, too...

You could learn a thing or three about editing techniques from that guy, though  ;)

ya that's why i had "dunker" in quotation marks :D not sure if it's 10', most of his footage looks on lower rim like 9'6-9'8 or something.. but ya he is ripped as fuck.

btw, i don't edit videos much because i like just raw footage.. no music.. not much effects :D i occasionally do edit some vids and they rape that guy's vid, u mothrufkrr

i dreamed i was someone else.... some like, fat computer tech guy.. very odd.. i was going through some land where sharks and shit lived on the land, floating around.. so i was traversing that landscape for a while.. then we're in a casino, me and my co-worker, then it kind of turns into the red light district, then there were more sharks floating around in that casino/hotel.. then i woke up in the dream as myself video taping my workout yesterday, but video taping pullups/dips, which i didn't do..

then i woke up.

wtf?

u were brucelee. fat tech guy, theres sharks in cali, hes horny and wud want to go to red light district, and is a few hours drive from vegas

looooool

man my glutes are weak as shit right now.. stopping those walking lunges = worst decision ever.. i had some turf-toe though, so i kind of had too, but, i'm getting back on them.. those walking lunges are much more important than squatting imo.

peace

yes yes y'all, lunges stick it to ur glutes like no other, my medius gets torn apart with the lateral lunges. i never heard of turftoe, jus looked it up, sounds similar to the symptoms of trigger points in adductor hallucis/flexor hallucis brevis  :-\ sorry 4u if you hav them, doesnt feel good hittin them ones xD
epsom foot bath will work nicely

peeeezzzz

ya when i was doing insanely high rep walking lunges, my glutes were firing incredibly.. i stop for 2 weeks and they feel weak as shit.. hehe

ya it's most likely an actual strain/sprain in there.. it's been getting better for the last 2 weeks so, time to get back into those lunges.. i plan on doing them again sunday.

peace man

bw = 160
soreness = none really, achy though
aches/injuries = quads achy, calfs achy, itband achy, both achilles tender on warmup of workout

workout:
- long warmup
- ~200 #1 + jog out the 400 #1 = ~28s + 1:08
- ~200 #2 + jog out the 400 #2 = ~28s + 1:20
- ~290 #3 + jog out the 400 #3 = ~38s + 1:14
- ~290 #4 = 38s
- walking lunges: 2 x 25 each leg <--- glutes have gotten so much weaker since having stopped doing lunges
- neutral grip pullups: BW x 8
- bar dips: 6
- GHR: BW @ 3 x 3
- pushups: 22
- double leg hamstring iso: no idea how long, 1 set


~200 & ~290's felt great.. the 200's are more like 220 yards, leg measured.. the ~290's are around 290-310.. it's just the distance between some light poles, but it's a good marking.. these measurements mean nothing when compared to track numbers, just something for me to keep progress at this park i run at.

man my glutes are weak as shit right now.. stopping those walking lunges = worst decision ever.. i had some turf-toe though, so i kind of had too, but, i'm getting back on them.. those walking lunges are much more important than squatting imo.

Thanks and yeah, the depth broad jumps looked very long actually, I need to measure them the next time. I also was hip hyperextending very well on them which is rare for me (also did hip flexor static stretch before them).

ya your extension looked great on them..

Quote
Power cleans need more work on exactly that hip extension part. I probably need to lean more backwards when I do them or something.

yup

Quote
As for the bounds... yeah I've always done them very fast because that's the way "I feel like making them". I mean, for maximum efficiency (where "efficiency" is a hard to quantify word) I feel like I need to do them fast. But maybe I should slow down and put more power, both vertically and horizontally, into them.

ya there's no one way to do them.. but most people who do them coach a bit more vertical emphasis than how you were doing.. either way is good, they both overload unilaterally to a great degree.

a good way to practice bounding with more height is using alternate leg skip bound:

the variation you're doing is fine though, you just want to monitor progress somehow, on how much distance you get per N number of bounds etc.. this would indicate better force absorption/strength/etc.

yea, when i was in track in my sec school days, we had spikes, and training in them was awesome.
pity i wasnt too into it back then, i reckoned i would've done alright...

would rather play king of fighters at the video arcade LOL!

lol!

i didn't even really know what track & field was when i was in h.s., all i did was play basketball/watch boxing etc.. wish i would have gotten into it back then also.

seriously this dude is hilarious..


19679
i've had that happen only a few times (extreme quad soreness). it's always after coming back from some kind of detraining.. funny how fast they adapt though after 1 session.

looks great overall, sure things can change a bit, but it is very solid from the get go.

on STIM, calves could be like 4x5 imo.. a little heavier than the 12's would be, but not going max of course to prevent any kind of strain..

peace!

Do you think after a pr by stim compared to a pr without stim you can constantly replicate the 'stim pr' again without stim and without additional training(such as becoming better at bounds will give u an equal performsnce cuz u ovefloaded the movement and u got better, so if u were to stim again, ud get an even bettef pr)? I mean, the 'stim pr' will stay there and u will be able to replicate it when youre rested?? 

ya you can keep PR's using stim.. you just have to try and maintain the PR.. if you can create PR level jumping / sprinting, then subsequent sessions should be aimed at improving the consistency of achieving that results OR just PR'n again.. by PR'n, your body is showing that it can handle that new performance level, which adds in itself a new level of intensity to each skill session, so the trick is to keep it within range:

- using normal stim protocols to obtain more consistent sprints /jumps near or at that pr
- using more intense stim protocols to try and obtain a new PR

by using stim-like methods, the body is firing optimally come skill-session time.. so these skill sessions that are 'enhanced' with stim become a MORE POWERFUL stimulus than just training with fatigue...

if you jump 40" off a run.. then you stim a 41", you have taught your body how to create 41" and introduced a more intense skill training session because of the new 1" gain in RVJ.. so the trick here would be to try and achieve 40-41" MORE OFTEN, more consistently.. so you might not PR right off the bat again with stim, but your overall session quality should be better.. stack a few of these onto each other and you get new PR's.



exactly my point..you have to stick with that new performance and let your body get accustomed to it, without starting a new cycle, loading, or deloading...just make sure your body gets used to jumping 41' any day of the week (or as close as possible)...........ill upload a video of pfaff tonight, he saying the exact same thing

ya man, cool i'm interesting in checking it out.

peace
