damn.. why havn't you lifted for 3 months??? if you are at 33.5" now, you should respond well when getting back into lifting.

4x6 depth drops from 40" is hardcore..

awesome that you started a journal..

damn.

tried to do 300 pushups as quick as possible, meaning, very short rest breaks after i hit failure.. anyway i got to 200.. by 180 i could barely hit 5 in a row, 5 was complete and utter failure.. i tried to take 10s breaks after my first set of 53, shit was crazy

so

53, 15, 10, 10, 10 .... 5, 5, 5, 5 = 200

was fun ;d





quads are COMPLETELY dead from yesterday,.... glutes are pretty sore too.. hamstrings seem fine.

peace

workout 1: LOW RIM DUNKS

lol, low rim dunking sucks.. so hard for me to jump high doing it.. it was kind of fun though.. i hit some reverse pumps, 360's, 180 windmill was close.

i took 4 jumps without the ball, got up around 35" at 175 lb.
- excuse #1: 175 lb.
- excuse #2: not really into jumping at the moment
- excuse #3: like 100 degrees outside
- excuse #4: sore from all those damn lunges

hah









tonight probably more lower body/upper body.. i might go do some low rim dunks every day just to relax and keep jumping.. mostly submax shit though.. who knows.

peace

Both of them are weird as fuck...
The blind person sucks ass and should just quit. I don't care if he's blind and a kid, has he ever gotten a hit?

And wtf?
How can that guy fight, no one wants to hit him, you could tell the other guy felt awkward as fuck. What would that be like; finding out you have to fight someone with no limbs...

What would it be like having no limbs?  You want these guys to just sit at home and do nothing cause they have disabilities.  The blind thing is kinda crazy, but at least they are trying and going for a dream.

Kyle Maynard was actually a pretty good wrestler, crazy upper body strength, and low center of gravity.

going for a dream is cool, but you what they are doing is dumb.. maynard doing mma = pointless, someone mean is just going to punt him out of the cage and kill him..

the blind kid playing football is so dangerous.. one angry kid on the other team goes for his legs and he may never walk properly again..its obvious the other team isnt going after him, if they did, he'd be in a hospital, even if it is only youth football.

they are doing sports that make no sense..

maynard wrestling made sense..

it sucks bad that they both have those disabilities but you have to choose something you can legitimately compete in without getting destroyed..

2 questions:

1.Doesn't making most exercises unilateral go against the general vs. specific idea?
2.Do you think that a max strength phase has any benefits for an intermediate or advanced athlete or is it completely unecesary?

i guess i'll answer...

1. bss/lunge/stepup are still 'general'.. they arent very specific imo.. but i do think a mix of bilateral/unilateral is optimal.

2. i think it definitely has its place.. hypertrophy / higher volume phases can really affect RFD negatively, so, you're going to want to reduce alot of that volume & utilize higher intensity weights to peak your explosiveness.. just putting on muscle isn't going to PR you most of the time, you're going to need to go into low volume/high intensity phases to get that muscle firing at peak levels.

235x15 beast bro, what's ur squat max now?

dno but its flying up.. and thats "slightly above parallel close stance".. regardless, ive never been able to rep out 235 just above parallel like that.. getting alot stronger.

im gonna be adding lots of mass for the next few months.. im probably going to go after 190 lb. or so :/ jumping may suffer alot.. or it may not..

the frequency routine is just putting a ton of mass on me.. i look so much bigger..

peace man
