I whole heartedly agree with the "training for a purpose". I would really like to see you compete again, no matter really in which event that might be! So I say yes, you should definitely go for it! You might or might not make the 2012 olympics, but I can easily imagine you in some high level competition in certain fields!

ya thanks man..

ya i was trying to figure out how to run in meets etc.. i need to find open meets eventually to run some 200/400/1500's in.. as for those 5k's ill probably just show up and run, not paying, so nothing official, but it would still be good experience because i am still racing people.

bottom line is i got to enter some kind of races, to give my training more purpose and direction.

word!

thanks for the words tam/joe etc..

joe/zetz, odd, im much better at 200m than 400m.. i mean, i can go all out for 200m without really feeling mentally drained.. when i go all out on 400's, i have alot of mental 'fatigue' as well as some physical fatigue.. the physical fatigue right now definitely isn't as bad as the mental fatigue.. once the mental fatigue disappears, it'z over, 2012 olympics.


You serious about that? Would be epic! I would wear fan shirts of you despite the fact that I don't even like the 400 m event  ;D.

well everyone makes an olympic claim once in their life, but i say, why not? i mean, just thinking about that as a goal transforms your training/motivation to the next degree, so in that sense it helps.. but who knows mang, i mean, i know that i'm capable of some insane shit if i just go 100% in terms of anaerobic endurance/short aerobic endurance events.. so who knows you know? i'm going to try and express that ability as much as possible, while still improving vert/top end speed, and then we'll see what happens..

i just need a bigger motivation than dunking/training etc.. i mean, i realize that, when i was boxing, i had more fire.. i had a goal, and that goal was to fight pro and become a champ.. i mean having that in the back of my head transformed my training so hard, plus, i just couldn't puss out knowing that someone was going to be in the ring every week trying to take my head off, with all of the sparring i did.. so i had something to keep me in check.

i'm about to become 28, but i don't really think that matters.. i know for a fact i could run an impressive 400/1500m, i just have to create a goal that will keep me focused and give me more purpose.. i have some insane work ethic, that's for sure, always have, so that little goal I've created will give me more direction..

bottom line, i need to prepare for 'competition', so that i'm not just training to train.. i feel i've lost that aspect of myself, as i used to be insanely competitive, not only with myself, but competitive against others.

so ya, who knows, saying "2012 olympics go get it" before my 400's worked last night, so it's serving it's purpose already :D

peace

edit: no disrespect to actual people preparing for olympics :D it's more of a way to get me to work as hard as humanly possible and make as much progress as possible in the next 1.5 years.

edit #2: also, i don't want to be one of those guys who says some olympic goal then trains like a pussy.. olympics 2012 is more of a slogan at this point for pushing my body to the absolute extremes.

ok word

from what i remember, he was jumping 37" SVJ and 4.3x in high school, so i mean, he's a freak. I need to find his old charlie francis training journal thread.. he improved power/speed a bit, but i'd imagine he added some serious mass over the years he was in college.

cybernetic scheme is lulz.

Basketball / Re: Scottie Pippen - underrated dunker
« on: August 13, 2010, 04:03:17 pm »
definitely a hard dunker, but people weren't "awe'd" by his dunks because of his vert.. wasn't as impressive.. it's like if you see scottie pippen vs james white dunk.. james white just blows your mind, scottie pippen just dunks it hard with way less vert.

bw = 160
soreness = hamstrings, quads tight
aches/injuries = left shin/calf a bit achy/tight, right hamstring tendon a bit achy

workout:
- ~400's @ near max intensity, 5 x
- ~800 x 1
- ~400 @ near max intensity, 1 x
- .75 mile run, 1 x

done.. felt so fast in my 400's, good stuff.. felt my quads too much though, from the squatting last night, they had too much tension.. otherwise, felt very good tonight.

might jump tomorrow, dno.. basically planning on jumping + speed work

peace
I don't know why you go so intense when you're having so many aches, :/.

trying to adapt it.. but you're right.. it's my left calf/shin that is problematic, i stretched it a few days ago and it's been worse since. hehe

peace



You're an intense sum' bitch haha. I would love to have your willingness to go run 400's like that man. If I did, then I wouldn't be so soft in the mid-section. You're conditioning is sweet.

hahah man it isn't easy.. before each one i have to chew myself out.. "come on what are you a little bitch, go get this shit", etc.

i need to get to the point where mentally i could run ~10 of them maximally, as well as physiologically (recovery from all that lactic acid).. that'd be so badass.

the cool thing is, i don't feel my legs shrinking from running 400's, in fact they feel thick and strong.. lots of long distance work turns my legs into sticks.. 200's-400's are pretty potent for strength gain.. feels like a 20 rep squat set :D

ya man but it isn't ez for me either.. one day it will be, that will be the day i am flying out there, 200, 400, mile, 5k etc.. my mind is still weak at the moment when it comes to conditioning, but it's progressing every workout.

peace!

it's been done before, in diehard 3 and american history X, 2min 30s in:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VgOy087KNs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VgOy087KNs</a>

the racist power stim:
- can be used for sprinting or jumping

dunk example:
- go to a court of your opposing race (if ur white, goto black court, if you're black goto white court)
- warmup, get ready to fly, do max jumps
- take off shirt, have tatted on chest (nazi symbol if white, kill whitey if black)

vert increases ~3-5 inches.
