I'll test standing and running vert tomorrow. Can't believe I didn't bother checking sooner.

I've never actually fully considered GOMAD, but after reading some stuff about it from different sources, I think it's worth a try, my friend still uses it. (though I think it really only worked the first month or so)

i get very close to GOMAD'n each day, and I don't even try.. whole milk is like water to me When your workouts are very intense, gomad is a piece of cake. It does put some fat on me though, I can't stay lean on it no matter how long/hard the workouts hehe..

peace

nice jumps man, i'll post workout stuff later tonight.

how high is that ceiling?

amazing movie.. absolutely hilarious.

My squat form is ass to grass, glutes and chest out.
I will try to get some videos up. However I cannot go 100 % into my squats currently due to my right shoulder, I am not supposed to bring up the right arm into the bicep flex position like 90 degrees from elbow hand facing up since the doctor told me not to bring it up like that for 2 months.

damn, what happened to it?

welcome man!

Hello guys, my name is Ryhan.
Im 17 y.o. And a fitness enthusiast not really into basketball gave up sprinting last year cause I couldnt beat my pr of 12.21 100m, I would like to get back into the game with some good training and a better vert would be nice for aggresive blading.
Right now my goal is to be faster, and jump higher.


182 cm / 76 kg
shitty vert
1rm squat 135kg

how good is your squat form? it's not that bad considering your weight..

what does your routine look like? there are some things you might want to do to focus on being more explosive, such as jump squats, lunges, and some reactive drills.

Ive been told by my coach that I run slow because my pushing is far stronger than my contraction.

no idea what that means hehe! maybe he means you are stronger mentally than you are physically? dno

anyways pleased to meet you all.

peace !

man I say and mean it everytime but.... WTF?!?! you're really flying man!
I'm so happy to see you jump like you used to in 2k9.
keep skyrocketing!

appreciate it man! i will try and make 2009-2010 look like mickey mouse shit for you.. 2011 will destroy it

glad everything is going good with you too, read your journal on tvs.

Completely off topic, but what kind of flooring is that in your video? Does it have the rubber mats underneath it or just cover the concrete? reason Im asking is Im thinking about putting  new flooring in my gym but havent decided on what is the best option yet.  Any other  reccomendations you may have are appreciated, I have about 3,000 square feet to cover, (not going to mess with anything under the boxing ring). thnx

that's some kind of turb that is connected to rubber matting, over concrete.. so that green surface is turf connected to rubber matting.

i don't know the exact type it is or anything though :/

Well, what do you eat to peak performance? This blog is more of a question than an answer, though I will give you my small nutritional strategy to really get fired up come training time. I will update this thread over time as people post in it, but feel free to lay out any nutritional strategy you use for any type of event/sport/whatever.

Ok, so here is how I peak vert/speed:

Day before peaking
- Eat big, get in enough water, protein, milk, etc
- My main meal will be a stir fry, tons of veggies and two potatoes. That night, before sleeping, I will eat somewhere between 6-7 bananas, with a few glasses of milk, and some kind of sandwhich (turkey and cheese, or lately, peanutbutter). The point is, this day I get alot of calories in, then I eat tons of fiber before sleeping, so that I really get out alot of that waste throughout the next day (after waking up).

Day of peaking 2
- Here are two scenarios that I used to peak my jump that day. Both days I felt great.

7/19/2010

bw = 162
soreness = nothing
aches/injuries = left plantar fasciae/heel


PRE-DUNK-SESSION DIET: (some people here will want to know)
- BW = 162
- 2:30pm: wakeup: glass of whole milk + instant coffee mixed in + 2 sweet`n`low , water + propel
- 4:00pm: small amounts of water + propel
- 6:00pm: 75% of glass of whole milk
- 7:00pm: small turkey sandwhich + pickle + 75% glass of milk
- BW = 162
- 9:00pm = dunks
- after jump session: eat big

7/30/2010

bw = 164 <- wtf
soreness = none, well left bicep is sore from those lunges
aches/injuries = left heel a little, back a little

peaking diet, prior to jumping:
3pm = 2 cup milk + caffeine (2 teaspoons instant coffee)
4:30pm = arizona ginseng/tea drink
6pm = turkey and cheese sandwhich
7:30pm = arizona ginseng/tea drink + banana
jump session = 9pm
after jump session: eat big...

so how do you peak? I know vag/dcjh have strategies, let's hear em! let's hear em` from some lurkers too!

peace
