Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: acole14's journal - DUNK OR DIE
« on: January 17, 2014, 06:17:12 am »Flying's been proven to be extremely safe. No need for excess worrying.
no shit, blu. like raptor said, fear of flying has nothing to do with reason. it's like arachnophobia or claustrophobia or any other phobia.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: resistance bands
« on: January 16, 2014, 12:11:04 pm »sup there guys,
I'm thinking about getting some resistance bands to help improve my speed in squats and dead lifts.
Can anyone recommend a particular brand that's good? preferably cheap but I'm willing to consider more expensive ones if they're the real deal.
I've never bought any before and would prefer to not waste any money on ones that aren't up to the task.
Thanks in advance
Henry
how advanced are you at squatting and dead lifting?

yesterday sucked, worked from 7:30-9 without a break and jet lag was hitting me hard in the evening. made it up to the gym before bed but this was all i could manage. on the plus side, it looks like i'm coming home earlier than i thought. i've got some work to do right now but i'm going to get in a bit more of a workout tonight.

accelerate, then decelerate as fast as you can.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: quads (esp VMO), glutes a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: tiiiiiiiired
- slow jog x 15 mins
- stretching and mobility x 15 mins
- some light DB/resistance band shit, but not worth recording
jet lag is a motherfucker. i slept in the car this afternoon for about an hour and a half, which felt amazing at the time but we'll see how it does me in an hour or so when i'm trying to crash. benadryl, don't fail me now.

resistance bands are awesome for that, too. i do a set of shoulder dislocations and my neck is twice as loose after.
