I am absolutely confused by how some of the guys on the forum insist on training alone.   Maybe LA is just different but down here you can't walk around a track without seeing a training group and joining one is a piece of cake... If you just be friendly at the gym and track you should be able to get your way on a team...

believe me, i've looked. the only track groups i've been able to find around here are for distance running, or else are too far away to be practical without a car. i could join a triathlon or power lifting or olympic lifting club tomorrow. but sprinting just isn't a thing in this area unless you're in high school. the club that organizes track meets in the area has weekly track workouts but they seem to be for middle distance runners.* if i could go back to high school now i'd join the track team and just beg to do sprints and jumps even though i'm better suited to (i.e., not quite as horrible at) the mile. but i'm 27 and got my diploma 10 years ago. don't think they'd let me on the team.

the point is: LA is different.

*that said, i never got a response when i emailed some months ago asking about sprinting practice. would be worth reaching out again to see if they just misrepresent themselves on their website.

the second video is sick, love how violently he dunks it. all the two-handers. damn

damn thaine getting up good..

yeah holy shit, that kid is an inspiration.

tonight did some SMR and stretching, focus on calves, quads and ITB.

I dont get it. When the chinese coach guy told me to do ankle jumps etc in 2013, LBSS & co said lol wut. And when I asked specifically for advice for improving my athleticism (Jan-April) i got absolutely nothing, even though I was willing to try out anything. But when i decide to get back to what I think I care about (squat goals), suddenly everyone piles up giving their 2c and tell me im going about things the wrong way. So excuse me if i'm a bit annoyed.

don't remember the chinese coach thing but are you fucking serious about january? that's what you remember? there are pages and pages of t0ddday and raptor (and me and vag) trying to suggest things, encourage you to FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE in doing dot drills and line hops and the like, writing out sample programs. go back and look.

Step-ups... very interesting...

i dunno, seems like a good way to focus on SL triple extension: low technical requirement, can do pretty much anywhere, low impact, low likelihood of irritating my lower back.

i think i can get calf and foot stimulation without doing an exercise wrong. sprinting gives plenty of calf and foot stimulation, for example.

thanks for the articles, i don't know that i'd ever heard of inno-sport but i recognize myself in a lot of those problems.
