Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: September 08, 2014, 09:29:56 pm »
yesterday (in baltimore, strange gyms are harder to jump in):
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, toes, left shoulder
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- jumps x ~25 mins
mostly pretty bad, shoulder was bothering me so i wasn't really reaching. mixed in some depth jumps from a bench on the court.
- superset x 2
-- leg press 320,410 x 10
-- DB RDL 75s,90s x 10
- DP OHP 40s x 10,10
- pull up x 5,5,5,5
- some MB throws
- stretch
pretty bad workout.
tonight:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES: left hip, left toe
MENTAL STATE: okay
- walk x 40 minutes
exaggerated glute contraction on each step.
- lots of stretching and SMR
there is no point in sprinting when my hamstrings are this sore.

ratpor i'm not sure if you're being serious, or if so what your point is. drill work can and does change form over time. otherwise no one would ever be able to learn how to do any physical activity that requires any kind of learned skill. of course people's form will differ, but the idea that doing drills is pointless because your body will always revert to some preexisting default form is not true.
i can throw a frisbee well, even now after not having played in years, because i practiced my form deliberately thousands of times. when i started playing i had a really goofy backhand that would always air-bounce (doesn't matter what that means, just accept that it's bad) but i taught myself to go against my "natural" motion and now my throws do what i want them to do even in the run of a game and at max effort.

lolwut. you know what drills are for.

man i wasn't saying, "but you're not fat, you're just dysmorphic." i was saying, well exactly what i said: your bf% calculations are unreliable so why not pick a different target. like: clearly defined six pack even in indirect light.

23km is a pretty good run, especially on what looks like challenging terrain. is your wife a marathoner?

squats looked great. your heels were coming off the floor a little on the 475s but the front angle on the 500s didn't show any apparent movement.

don't tease me like that! google only turns up the one from february, which is already my favorite dunk ever. if someone can re-post the one raptor linked to where the link now turns up nothing, i will be so happy.

w/r/t jump technique: the t0ddday method is the place to start. a step-by-step guide:
1. do a standing jump.
2. walk back and do a one-step jump. if it's higher than your SVJ, then proceed to 3. if not, continue doing one-step jumps, messing with your approach, trying different amounts of knee bend, different distances, etc., until one-step is higher than SVJ.
3. walk back a little farther and do a two-step jump. if this is higher than your one-step, proceed to 4. if not, repeat the second part of 2.
4. walk back a little farther and do a three-step jump. proceed as above.
5. etc., until the extra step no longer gets you any higher.
you are not allowed to add a step until that step consistently gives you more height over previous steps. this isn't that specific to basketball, because it grooves a very specific pattern. but if you're just trying to dunk anything at all under perfect circumstances (join the club!), then it's a good method.

no, it's not overextension. doesn't feel like that. feels like stuff is tangled or out of alignment.

« on: September 05, 2014, 01:58:03 pm »Is it possible it is sprinting form based then?
yes but i don't know why my form would vary so much from day to day. i've thought about improper glute activation leading to knee collapse but doing activation exercises doesn't seem to make a difference.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
