i love old skool rap shit.....sick song....darq could u make tell us your top 5/10 psyche up songs or whateva, shit you listen(ed) before you would dunk..

well, my #1 dunk psyche up song is:
- who dat by young jeezy

my #1 squat psyche up song is:
- crunk - pastor troy (dno if thats the official name, "get some crunk in your system" -- lil jon / pastor troy / trill)

other dunk psyche up songs I like are:
- who run it - 666 mafia
- shook ones part 2 - mobb deep
- nothing on me (instrumental) - lil wayne


i actually listen to alot of classical / techno (or dance or whatever it is) though now.. classical pumps me up more, i have so many songs that get me going apeshit.. i don't know the names of them but they are alot more effective than rap.. this crimson tide /gladiator song gets me so amped.. i'll have to go through them one day and make a playlist if anyone is into that stuff..

peace!

Basketball / Re: BOSTON CELTICS vs LA LAKERS
« on: June 08, 2010, 12:01:05 am »
im a die hard celtics fan so i may be a bit biased, but think of it this way. Yes last night Ray Allen was just completely wet. He mustve banged a leprechaun or somethin before the game, his shooting is insane. And rondo had the triple dub. Celtics won by 9 last night, and they were FAR from playing a perfect game. KG and Pierce werent factors on the offensive end, and when they finally are, the lakers have no chance of stopping us. I really wish it were celtics/suns. Nash deserves a shot at the title :-\

ya, kg and pierce will be on fire in boston, that's why LA can't win this.. i feel for nash too :)

155.6 today :)
- considering my workout last night wasn't that long, this is pretty good, definitely not water drained

i was just about to leave for the court but a major thunder storm is coming, perfect timing :< this training at night thing isn't working out too well so far, last night & tonight have been raining.

if it rains real bad i'll just do a plyo workout tonight but honestly i wanted to dunk.. SHITTTTTT.

nice man sounds fun, if you light yourself on fire though make sure a fire extinguisher is nearby and you record it in high def.

how low were you on the iso pushup...i try to be 1-2 inches chest from ground...brutal i am trying to get it to 4 minutes someday though


ya, real low, like 2 inches or so then i drop to 1 inch.. i don't like pushup iso with hands on floor, i prefer oding them on my pushup handles that way i can get alot deeper more comfortable, but either way, it still kills my pecs hehe.. actually it probably kills my pecs alot harder with hands on floor than hands on pushup handles because i'm not in the greatest ROM, i can feel them working alot harder rather than just holding myself in the stretch.

good luck with 4 minutes, ive only broken 1 minute on them a few times :F my pecs give out so quick its crazy..

Hey andrew whats your opinion on arms crossed front squats as opposed other (olympic?) style. I used to do front squats, and i only did them arms folded, cant really do them the other way.....(Large forearms in relation to humerous, to large)

p.s Q&A anyone?

well, if you can't do them clean-grip style, then ya cross grip is ok, but i prefer clean grip style.. eventually you can use alot more weight and it should become more comfortable, it creates a nice shelf to hold the bar.

i couldn't do clean grip for the longest time but then i started doing lockouts off high pins in that position, so basically 1/8th squatting the bar up in that grip, it definitely helped.. once i did that for a while i just went right into front squats, which are painful as hell to me btw, but im definitely a big fan of them.. you have to be careful with them when you have knee issues though, they really hit the quads hard.

peace

Its like Quads used to be overated and now they are way underated (to MOST people, calm down darq calm down  :P)

same thing with calves, they used to be overated and are now underated....(to MOST people)

You could so easily make a great jump program Andrew, i thought of this after you said

Quote
regardless of what you actually have to work, there's one thing that can be certain you need to improve:
- maximal strength in a "squat movement" (full, half, whatever)
- explosive strength in a "squat movement" (jump squat, dj's, rea, etc)
- improve maximal & explosive calf strength (dj, reactive, calf raise)

AND WE'VE ALL HEARD SOME PEOPLE IN THE S&C INDUSTRY SAYING "QUADS ARE USELESS, AN ATHLETE WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT THEM" TO ME A SAYING COULD NOT BE ANY MORE STUPID



ya i can't stand the people that diminish the quads/calfs importance, makes no sense.. they are so obsessed with 'p-chain' that it is laughable.

:D

Just got back from my brother's college graduation. He went to art school. Some craaaaazy kids up there. Instead of cap and gown, some guy my brother knows dressed up as a lucha libre wrestler. FUll on, serious costume, nothing half-assed about it. During the point when all the kids were getting their diplomas, instead of shaking the president's hand as he walked across the stage, this guy tackled him. Literally took the president down in front of hundreds of people.

what the fuck? that could should have been tarred and feathered.

Didn't really exercise much, ate some awesome food, drank a lot. Good weekend.
