295x5 or 395x5? It's a pretty big difference you know...

No they are not, it's the CNS that has adapted to fire the electrical impulses better.

Haha, for the first second or so in the video I was like "hm, wonder what kind of layup this guy will do". That is - if I were to ignore the video title.

That's great too, but well beyond my current level I guess.

If you fall into depression and go on the way of drugs, those drugs that create dependence, then it's out of your control at that point. You're going to LIVE for the drug itself. The only thing you will really care about is how to take your next dose.
Are you doing yourself a huge disservice getting your first dose? Yes. But from that point on you become another kind of person/animal and you can't really be held responsible since your whole physiology changes, behavior etc.

But do you see an actual use of this? Or just wasted time and effort? I feel it's great to teach you control over eccentric movements and that should be great for one-leg jumping. The more you're accustomed with controling yourself under high tension eccentrics the better you CAN be jumping off one leg.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Sprint deceleration
« on: July 23, 2011, 07:08:26 pm »
Quick question: what do you guys think about sprint deceleration as an actual exercise. I like it very much but every trainer I know swears against it. Not sure why.
I usually like to ACTIVELY decelerate after I finish my sprints. They will say you need to decelerate relaxed blah blah blah on a period of the same length your sprint had (so for 30m you will stop in 30m or maybe even more) and stuff like that.
Well I don't. I like to really load my quads during the deceleration and use it as an exercise in eccentric control and strength. I think it's just great for that. So I don't see why all the trainers are against it.

Natural selection
I'm not sure it's that easy to judge. It shouldn't be at least. You don't know anything of her life and what was going on. Once the drugs grab you from an early age you're sometimes out of your own control in your actions.
She was in control when she started taking the drugs and she was fully aware of the dangers. And she said no no no to rehab.
You'd say no no no to rehab too if you'd be a drug addict.

Yeah bro!
The thing is - I don't know how that energy is going to be used in terms of time.
That's why I wonder why Andrew eats carbs today for tomorrow. How do you know what you eat today is going to be available for you as energy tomorrow? How can you know they're not going to be converted to fat by then, or that their energy value was lost during the night and next of the day up until the athletic event and so on and so forth.

To me, any death of any kind sucks hard. It's basically a victory of nothingness vs life. Doesn't matter if it's a human being or a fly.

I had a friend who was so talented in basketball, a really really great dribbler and just a cool guy, smart, you name it. But he had this thing about "why do you have to waste time living?". So he kept on telling me how he wants to commit suicide at one point, soon that is. And I was trying to see why (first I thought he was joking) and he was telling me he sees nothing exciting in living. So I was like "hey man, but you play ball, you listen to music, you do this you do that - these are good reasons to live for and you wouldn't do all that if you weren't passionate about them in the first place".
So I tried my best to make him think otherwise. And I haven't really talked too much to him about this because I didn't REALLY thought he was serious. But after a while from that discussion (half a year or so) he threw himself off the top of his 10 story building and killed himself. I'll always have all this story with me ^^^. But IN A WAY - it was expected to happen. Thinking back to his demeanor when he was telling all that stuff - it should've been obvious he was going to do it.
The idea is that not everybody falls into the "same general way of thinking". I don't know if it's something to be judgemental or superior about, I don't think so, but it is what it is.

Not sure. I don't even know a song of her's but apparently, for other people, she was really something.
