good work on the jumps man..........are u gonna start boxing again soon (matches)?

well i want to compete in boxing ya, but i have no gym right now except for this free week.. i have to figure something out.. i mean i could just go fight in amateurs without gym access, who knows.. preferably i'd have gym access to get in some sparring/heavy bag work, that prepares the body well for boxing, without it, im just doing shadow boxing/sprints/bball dribbling/bw exercises.. not as effective :/

and since theres no Q and A do u mind if i ask random lil questions every now and then cause im still learning? first one, wats the diff between REA squats and jump squats?

ya np..

REA = reactive.. it has a freefall component, meaning, you start in standing position and then 'freefall into say, a above parallel squat position.. this results in a very brief impact, but that brief impact recruit significant motor units, because of the load on your back, you then reverse it as fast as possible.. so it has you absorbing an impact AND then overcoming it.

with jump squats, resetting between reps, there's no impact, so that extremely fast motor unit recruitment doesn't happen, but this is easier on the body, ie, it takes its toll less on the joints etc.. the only impact absorption you get is after you jump and land, but thats into a pretty tall position.. REA has you absorbing/overcoming in a lower position, really recruits the quads/hams/glutes hard.

rebounding jump squats are similar to REA, except always done alot lighter and the angle is again not as deep as REA..

REA can be done from 30-70% 1RM.. jump squats anywhere from 25-40% 1RM.

both help improve RFD, except one is a little bit more effective due to the big impact forces needed to be overcome (REA).

yea, but for ankle stiffness purposes you think low box DJs should be at a target?  shouldnt really matter i think

yup i do.. i'd have people do 2-3x10 off 12-18 alot at msc, just doing touches on these pillars on the cieling.. always reaching for something, it helps you adjust your performance.. if you're jumping lower that day, but feel fine, you'll just jump.. when reaching up, shit pisses you off and you get more power.. im always for overhead goals on any type of dj.

Level 7 mwahahahahah!

Congrats with your good jumps man. Can you already dunk with a 10'7 touch?

thanks man hah

nah like that's 10'7 peak, so mostly 10'5-10'6.. only way i could dunk with 10'7 is if im palming, my self lobs never go in with that height.. so i probably could if i palmed, but if i palmed, i wouldn't get my big arm swing so it would be less.. i need 10'9 or so from run up to start throwing them down weak again.

pc man!

haha thanks! im not gonna try dunks until im complete hand over rim consistently, then ill play around with lobs again.. i won't try because with my current vert i'd be slamming my messed up finger into the rim pretty hard, the one i ripped apart on that self lob 360 attempt.

9 inches seems a lot to be able to do minimum dunks, maybe its cuz your lobbing technique i duno i just do them straight off the dribble i guess cuz thats how i want to dunk anyways

BTW, sent you a PM darqui

ya i can barely dunk off the dribble, even when i was flying.. it's an inhibition feeling, i just don't like it.. i fucking LOVE lobs though.. its ridiculous.. dno im just weird like that :F

ok ill check..

you mean add in plyos or the ankle stiffness ones?

i feel you except i dont do anything real explosive in my warmups so these are the finishers to my warmups, and arent draining as i dont go for touches on low box depth jumps or anything

I just dont like going into PR jumping without doing some kind of warmup jumps, so i figure kill two birds with 1 stone and make it ankle stiffness jumps

nah i meant, when you're doing dj's that day, to do them after rvj's..

i always did very good warmups before rvj's, and rvj's were apart of my warmup.. i'd do around 15 or so warmup jumps, starting from super light leading to nearly hard..

i couldn't skimp on the warmup because of my injury-prone body, if i did, i'd get tendonditis/other issues, so my warmups were always pretty good..

ya ive never really done dj's not going for touches, i don't like the thought of it either.. i wouldnt be as motivated.

Finally had a good, full workout tonight. Gym was jammed and basketball courts all taken outdoors, so I found a tree on a side street with some leaves hanging down around 9'8" or something and jumped to those. Pretty ghetto, haha. Also the sidewalk wasn't exactly flat. Whatever.

Work
DLRVJ x~35
ankle hops to low box 2x10 - felt pretty dead
REA squat 4x3x95
MSEM squat 2x2x300
BSS 3x5x70 (2x35#), jumping on each rep

haha nice, i remember some and1 dude doing jumps to a tree branch and pullups on a branch, in an and1 streetball episode.. 'spider' im pretty sure it was.

im confused by this though, once again :)

Quote
Also , i am doing only 2 days per week , 1 upper - 1 lower , so every workout is a week. Ill be doing a 3RM squat the other ( upper body ) day.

why only 1 lower a week ? i mean, sometimes you might want to do 2, especially when you're doing a strength session and an explosive session consecutively.. i mean if you feel you'd do fine on that then it's all good.. you have to lifting stimuli per week so it is good, but just saying, sometimes you might want to do two lower body sessions.. PR's are pretty much all that matters though so :F

peace!

Agreed , i was thinking of that too , when explosive workouts come in , i might do 2 lower workouts a week, monitoring how i feel etc.
That way , i may be able to do 2 repetitions of the explosive block ( 1:2:0 ).
Good shit , thanks for the tips man!


np mang!

5/3/2010



drank soda today when i went out to eat philly cheese steaks with my mom.. for dinner.. i have the weirdest response to soda man, i get super tired instantly, my eye sight gets a little worse, than an hour or so later i pass out and fall asleep.. happens every week when we goto this place.. i drink like maybe .5 L of birch beer rootbeer.. so it took me a while to wakeup during my workout tonight.

left big toe bugging..

back feeling good!

158 lb in morning, 161 lb before workout, 155 after workout




1.5 mile walk to basketball court

bball dribbling + shooting + layups + jumps:
- mostly bball dribbling, shooting, and layups/floaters, but i threw a bunch of jumps in at times
- most jumps were 10'4-10'5, after run-in with cop, i hit 10'6 and possibly 10'7 hah
- LEVEL-7 mang! ^^^

so during my bball stuff, cop drives by, so im watching him then around .5 miles down the road he u-turns and im like...... ahhhhhhhhhhh shit........... so he comes back, flashes lights/spotlight on me, calls me over, asks for my info, looks it up, asks me what im doing out at 2am, i say im just working out, and then he smiles and is like: "ok well i got no problem with it if no one else does, so have a nice night" boom.. so that was cool.. after that little incident, the mini level-7 kicked in and i jumped higher, had alot more power, that shit woke me up hardcore.. koz i thought i was gonna get kicked out so i was secretly pissed.

if the cop was a girl like the one above, i would have gotten them digits but it was a dude so that sucked, woulda been awesome if it was a hot chick cop, playboy playmate cop centerfold.



1.5 mile walk home:
- security guard at some complex was creeping on me, stared him down, wtf was he in the middle of the road looking at me for, leaving his booth, odd shit.. dude has a red car.. we stared down for like 2 mins then he walked off.. guy seems odd, 50 year old or so white guy with glasses.

for the police report ^




at home:

neutral grip pullups: 13

dips on bars: 15 + about 30 minis right after

mini chinups: 20 or so

dips on bars: 30 mini



done.

Well, shit. I just got home from work. It's 9:25 and the gym closes at 10. It sucks because I have energy and WANT to work out but can't really do it right now without completely fucking my sleep up. On the plus side, my life is gonna get easier when I get back from my trip and my boss gave me permission today to take it a little easy this week because I worked both days over the weekend and have put in a bunch of 12+ hour days. So gym every day for the rest of the week (until I leave on Friday)...yes.

sux about gym tonight but cool about rest of the week..

god you are going to see some hardcore people in AFG, rugged cia/special forces peeps.
