What about the jump to passing the single leg through the hands!!! If ever there was going to be a challenge on this site that should be it.
90% of people who would attempt it would get injured!
Hahaha. Surely it's a skill more than pure vert. His vert can't be more than around low 30s anyway.
dno what it is but it looks decent.. def > 30 from what i saw.

he probably was in pain .. but it's also boxing at the highest level, a sport which many a time, fighters continue with broken hands, jaws, lacerations, or literally ankles in the case of Bradley lmfao.
he looked like he just quit to me.. which is just disappointing.

Basketball / Re: Mark my words.....Ben Simmons
« on: December 12, 2017, 04:01:55 pm »total sign of immaturity: afraid to take jump shots is a sign he doesn't want himself to look bad, he wants the world to see how much game he has.....
From what I read yesterday he is completely reworking his jumpshot so I can imagine his reluctance to take them. Really though, he can basically get to the basket at will so what's a year of not taking jump shots.
this ^^
everyone needs to chill a bit on Simmons lol, he has plenty of time to improve his jumper & get more confidence in it.
even MJ wasn't confident in his jumper year 1.
only person I remember who was confident in literally every aspect of their game in year 1 and got enough minutes/games to be relevant to this discussion, was AI.. not Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, or MJ... just AI.

« on: December 12, 2017, 03:47:52 pm »Just realized I was mentioned so ill toss my .02 in: I DON'T advise switching plants. I plant RL-R (Im assuming i cant remember being a DL jumper before this always SL) due to a previous injury. It was what was comfortable coming off that injury. That's the key IMO. Do what feels most natural as far as plant/style. I CAN plant LR-R and get up decently but it still feels awkward to do for ME jumps (in game doesnt count it just happens instinctively). Andrew hit it on the head with the IR reference. Its tough to master something new even for elite guys.
Keep grinding Scoob! Youre so close!

141211 W11 Weight. Session w/ Coach A
I think i am slowing down for the Qtr Squat... may be... is time to stop adding weight?
hip thrust is still alright... can continue to add weight.
Some one is waiting for me at the rack while i was squatting. so i gave it up.. and did the barbell calf on the Smith machine.
Without the need to balance, i can now use 3 plates under my ankle. With much more Range of motion and probably can go much heavier without the need to balance.
Up fast, down slow. Will try to go much heavier next week.

I ran for 30 min at night also.. 400m x 10 while my girl do 60m x 10 sprint for every lap i do.
After the sprint, she told me about some pain at her Achilles tendon where it is connecting to the heel. This is exactly what i am scare about.... Sunday will be race day.
I plan to have a time trail on wed while running full 1km holding hands. guess that wont be happening..
Lets just see what will happen on Sunday... will be a gamble.
better rest than risk injury before event day.
Regarding achilles insertion pain:
Is she limping? Or showing any signs of it affecting her movement? If so, probably shouldn't let her race.
I mean it bothered her enough to let you know, so i'm just assuming it's worth paying very close attention to.
If she's feeling pain during warmups (or at any point while running), she needs to know - to let you know. And if she lets you know, as a parent you might not want to let her do it. This is actually a teachable moment for both you & her IMHO, not to push through injury. You need her to be honest with you and not lie about the pain too. Achilles pain, especially at the insertion, is nothing to play around with.
Ask her about the pain, but don't tell her about the consequences (not racing). Ask if it's sharp, dull, when it hurts, how bad, etc etc. Sharp = bad. Check to see if it's affecting her movement, if so = not a good idea to let her run until it's healed.
Just my 2cents.

As for Jumping with ball / Dunk attempt... i wont change my right left plant. but i may change my ball just to try different thing.
Thanks adarq for the video... i just want to ask one thing.. how did they manage to turn of gravity.... they all jump like... they are on the moon or something.

Initially I was planning to go for a 3RM in the bench (115kg) but I thought about it and realised that benching 125kg (I'm better at maxing out than repping) would actually be easier than doing 115x3 so I went for the 125 and I got it easily. It actually felt easier than my 122.5kg PR that I did a couple of weeks ago
ah nice move & interesting that it felt easier than that previous PR.. beastmode.
those weighted chins are solid too.

« on: December 12, 2017, 12:13:33 am »that is what the GMB guys advocate as well, as a progression from learning individual skills. they refer to sequences like that as katas, i guess from martial arts: stringing a bunch of skills together in a row and working to make them as smooth and strong as possible.
ah nice. it's beautiful stuff.

blood in pee is a bit weird but i've had it a few random times too. if it becomes a regular occurrence, then definitely get it checked obviously :/ the scariest thing for me was peeing after drinking a ton of beet juice for the first time, was like holy shit wtf.. oooh, beet juice.
looking strong as usual! but def be careful if you're favoring. Wouldn't max it out often until that's more resolved.

What is your typical training?
I am NOT a high mileage runner. I average 40-45 miles per week during indoor/outdoor (February - July) which includes a 9-10 mile long run on the weekends. During the Fall and Winter I may go as high as the low 50's. Unless I am on a true break between seasons, I keep some form of speed (efficiency) work in my weekly regimen. During XC season this may be hill repeats or a fartlek session, during track it will usually be more technical like 150m accelerations + Plyo and short full sprints (30-60m) with complete rest between. I also try to always get in some form of lactate threshold work once every 10 days or so. This comes in many different forms (everything from 5 x 5:00 tempo paced intervals to a 30:00 steady state to a 60:00 progression run but I try to keep that a staple. I am a speed/strength based runner so I need to always stay close to that kind of training...my body just feels better and moves better when I do. But if I neglect the LT my fitness is not on par. The race paced intervals are reserved for different prep segments each season and they vary. The hardest ones for me are repeat 1000's or 1200's at 3k pace. Concentration and patience are still things I work on! But now I have Andrew to figure all of that out for me!

30 minute base building run
4k @ 7:10 pace
Was listening to a podcast last night and there was some absolute gold that pretty much sums up where I've gone wrong with my training the last 5 years.
- You didn't just lose it. Remember how you got it.
- The athletes who are in the most danger are the ones who just hit a PR.
- Do you want to win the training day or succeed at your event.
Basically, slow and steady wins the race. It's not new information by a long stretch but it's so relevant to me it's just not funny.
yup, all great points, especially that 2nd one. Life-after-PR can be a wreck.
As for #3, training PR's can still be a good thing to go after if you're feeling it. I think the importance of events is often overrated, especially early on. ie me with my races. I'd rather PR in training than wait for it and maybe or maybe not PR in a race. Eventually i'd rather PR/peak for races, but right now I don't care - if I see an opportunity to push my limits I should take it. That discipline of holding back and saving it for the event/competition is when it really matters - which could be for you in your first mini-try of course. But there's also a caveat to that, winning the training day "early on" when you're just starting some new training, isn't a great idea either.. slowly easing into it is important.
