OK, so I want to go with this now:

Sunday: Squat + One-leg RDL++Leg curls (++ = superset)
Monday: Bench press + Triceps pulldowns + Chinups
Tuesday: Power clean/Jump squat (low volumes) + BSS + Cable pulls
Wednesday: Overhead press + Lateral++Front shoulder raises + Pullups
Thursday: Squat + Lunge++Leg curls

Friday and Saturday rest. I'll do ab work and calf work everyday.

I'll also go with adarqui's http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-ratio-technique/ because it sounds very very nice. I'll use it for the squat and for the bench press.

So basically my first squat cycle will be:

80x3x8/82.5x3x8/85x3x8/95x3x5/105x2x3 MSEM and then continue from 85 kg

For the bench press it will be:

40x3x8/42.5x3x8/45x3x8/50x3x5/55x2x3 MSEM and then continue from 45 kg

If you have and further ideas I thank you in advance and await your input.

As I felt so bad the last time I went to the gym, and spent a lot of time in the gym, I'm thinking of going more often and keeping the sessions shorter.

I might also try this: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-ratio-technique/

I think I can organize stuff so that I do like 3 workouts of hypertrophy oriented squats (say, 3x8), then go with 3x5 and then go with MSEM and reset the cycle.

I want to write here my program in this fashion, since I really want to go this way with more frequency, better intensity, go home. After I'm done eating I'll start writing.

I keep remembering how Gay missed like 3 dunks, some wide open, in the World Championship.

Yeah, them reading your mind and all that. Before you know it, you're flying and throwing down mexadats (alien term for "dunks"). Heck, how do I know all this?

Yeah I know the Randy Culpepper stuff... what I mean was that mini-jump gather for the two-footed jumpers... some take a short one, some take a big one. Helicopter did one BIG jump stop in a dunk I can't currently find...

Maybe you were kidnapped? :ninja:

You probably have bionic legs now, so you better go out and test them.

OK so since I couldn't really sleep "well", I also had a strange dream:

I was with my mom to a country place of one of my mom's childhood friends. There were abandoned market buildings with groceries products still in the rafters. So my mom was like "hey, they won't need this anymore" and took a LOLLIPOP (WTF) and started sucking it (WTF). I was like "don't do that, you don't want to go to jail because of a stupid lollipop". So out of nowhere two cops showed up to arrest her, but we bribed them and they left.

Then I went home and in my balcony there was one yacht that was mine and two guys in a small boat that were banging into the yacht with the boat to break it. So I picked up a cell phone and called 911 (here it's 112 the emergency number, but I called 911) and after like 3 times ringing, one woman picked up the phone and say "yeeeeeeeees?". I was like "um... I have a problem". So in the middle of my dream I woke up for a short period I think, and then continued with my dream and was like "I just dreamed that there were two guys on a boat trying to bang into my yacht that is on my balcony. I know it sounds silly, but you gotta help me". And then I heard a strange noise, like the ones you usually hear in videogames, and went to look into my balcony and the yacht and the boat with the guys disappeared, and instead there was one giant orange fish in there (was like 10 feet long and pretty fat). Or maybe it was a horse (? I can't remember).

So I was like "nevermind..." on the phone and hung up. Then my cell phone rang to wake me up to go to the gym.

If you want a guy who plants VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY far away in front, check out Helicopter from AND1.

I can't find it right now, but there was a dunk in the AND1 mixtape tour where he planted like 10 feet in front of him.

PS: You can see here http://www.pure-dedication.com/various_images/golden_child_dunk_1c.png what I was talking about in the ARowe thread regarding the "opening up laterally" of the arms in the gather. He does not gather throwing his arms back and then rotating, but rather to the side and then rotating in and up.

I'm going to the gym this Sunday to start the "thing"... hopefully I can do well.

I'll start with a 80 kg bar this first workout.

I wish I would have a saxophone... I want to get one actually sooner or later. I "play" the piano meaning I toy with it every now and then (by piano I mean the electric synthesizer or whatever the name of that) and I have an electric guitar but it seems mega complicated to do anything with it.

Yeah it makes a big difference if you do it right. I mean, I'm not a two footed jumper by any means, but once I started doing that I could just feel everything so much better in my jump.

Haha you look so small...

I have an observation though: try to extend your arms to your side and then rotate them and jump. Like, "open up" your jump. I think you could jump better with a few technique adjustments.

Let me try and find a video of what I'm talking about...

Look at Vince here:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTMiHvScPbQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTMiHvScPbQ</a>

See how he "opens up" stretching his arms to the side more than back, and then rotating and jumping? I have personally found out my highest jumps come when I do that as well, it just "centers" all the power into the core/abs and down into the ground if you do it right.

That's because you use the state's medical system. I had a prescription for an MRI for a private cabinet. I'm not really aware of many MRI's being available to the public system (there probably are, but ...).

In a cave.

Well not really, but close: Romania.
