hehe, keep the negs coming, more fuel to reach 40 svj!

might as well just ban you then and get it over with? that'll give you enough fuel to reach 40" SVJ, no?

if every time I refresh the forum I have to see you neg bombed or some ridiculous thread like the "natty sprinter thread" or the joakim thread, might as well just get it over with right now. The fact that you seem to enjoy getting negged is annoying.

maybe just create a FDL's random thoughts thread and put everything in there from now on? then, as your random thoughts start to improve and showcase more forethought, slowly progress back to creating threads?

-- MANAGEMENT.

ffs.

It's not my fault you guys don't see how ridiculous joakim noah is. His FT % has gone from 65 to 60, 55, 50, low 40s as his career progressed and you guys are sticking up for him.... posting dumb videos to prove that "oh everyone airballs sometime" .... no everyone does not airball freethrows to the direct left or right of the basket lol, that has never happened in nba history except with noah recently in his career..... people have airballed it short but not to the direct left or right of the hoop....

i mean a lot of sprinters have been suspected of using ped's, most of usain bolt's teammates, tyson gay, gatlin, etc.... i dunno ban me or just tell me i don't want u on my site, either one will work

apparently you want me to do something .. which is interesting, because that's what i've been doing. I've been giving you suggestions. maybe you have it in your head that we all just don't want you here at all, but somehow we're letting you stick around?

so, since you requested me to tell you something, here it is, one last time:

stop being so thoughtless. stop creating such shit threads. stop creating thoughtless shit threads. stop creating threads with insulting titles. stop making thoughtless antagonistic replies. stop basking in your negs.

It's really so simple.

Finally, the title of your Joakim thread is pathetic. It's just incredibly arrogant. I mean that cardio dribbling video you posted wasn't in the least bit impressive, and here you are calling some professional athlete a douche bag. The arrogance in combination with such a soft foundation is just ridiculous.

Anyway, very tired of addressing it. Being respectful & intelligent on a forum is easy. Figure it out please, fast.

Thanks

bw = 156
soreness = right calf slightly (NICE!! not too bad), left PF barely, glutes slightly
-- nice!
-- edit: hamstrings, glutes, and quads especially got pretty sore as the day went on, right calf moderate, left PF slightly
aches/injuries = none
-- nice!

walk:
- ~8:30 AM - ~11 AM
- moderate intensity walk with dead legs
- pretty good pace considering .. legs definitely dead, no pop, but still basically everything over 4 mph
- lost 6 lb water like usual for 9 miles



bw right after:
- ng pullups: BW x 11
-- nice
- full dips: BW x 10



after the walk, had oranges, grape fruit, coconut water, protein/milk, and watermelon juice.. solid af.



edit: ate a ton .. feel wrecked.



so that was the last workout for today & tmw.. tmw = complete rest. Actually about to go to an Argentinean steakhouse and get a skirt steak I think.

plan for fri/sat/sun:
fri: AM: very high volume stepups, PM: light walk
sat: AM: light walk, PM: track
sun: AM: very high volume stepups, PM: light walk
mon: rest
tues: AM: very light walk, PM: track

i want to push the stepups for a few days and see what happens on the following track days.



tentative schedule that will surely change.  :trollface:

i have tons of fractures and complete breaks, worst one my wrist, in basketball.. i gave up contact sports completely after boxing, and prior to that i gave up basketball because of the injuries. i'm Mr Glass.

Wow, that's pretty bad, did you get good nutrition and stretch ankles, hamstrings, etc before those times you play contact sports?

nutrition growing up wasn't too good i imagine.. drank tons of milk though. several broken fingers, broken wrist, torn calf (someone knee'd it when i was going up for a layup), only one sprained ankle. my ankles have always been really strong.. most of my teammates/friends had several severe sprains.

Quote
I used to sprain my ankle a lot and the worst is when you sprain a tendon, cause it takes months and months to fully heal..... but after I started to stretch my ankles religiously, i could almost land on someone's foot and be reactive enough to not let it tear anything by straightening out my ankle.

damn. stretching them too much can actually cause more problems though. so you're lucky you didn't hurt em more, pretty cool if it helped though.

Basketball / Re: Something is wrong with this big douche bag.....
« on: August 23, 2017, 12:50:30 pm »
here's the most simple solution to this "story". anyone (FDL) who thinks it's easy to improve freethrows/shooting percentage, do this:

1. train the ability to shoot with your off hand
2. once you get proficient, report back
3. use it in games, report back

it's a solid experiment IMHO... most people are virgins with their off hand, here you have a clean slate.. can start from scratch with perfect form.

I've done it .. took like 6 months to get really good with my left in practice, then another 6-12 months to be able to pull it off confidently in games (mostly street games, wasn't playing in leagues/school at the time). I was a shooter though.. the hardest part if the confidence of using it in a game. So, take that idea to someone who shoots with "sh*t form" or has confidence issues to begin with, or someone who just isn't a good shooter, and try to develop the ability to shoot high percentage freethrows in games?? it's so damn difficult. If it weren't difficult, these guys you see being paid millions of dollars would just do it.. does anyone here think they want to shoot 60% or less from the line?

that's why this argument always annoys me..

if it were easy, they would fix it. no one in their right mind would want to keep bricking freethrows especially in critical situations. You can even have amazing shooters who can't hit freethrows & shots in the clutch, there's a massive mental/sports psychology side of it in actual games.

heh.

joakim isn't a shooter. if it were easy to fix, he would. that's probably due to over a million shots with bad form.

Boxing / Re: Gennady Golovkin vs Saul Canelo Alvarez
« on: August 23, 2017, 11:31:54 am »
GGG's power on that mitt/bag was nasty, but those shots were so ugly. Canelo could counter that all day. Canelo looks like the "legit boxer" that's for sure, but I wouldn't expect anything different. Canelo has the skills, but can he handle that power? That's what makes this fight so interesting. TBH, I think he can outbox GGG and win.

going to be a hell of a fight.

totally forgot to mention..

another reason why I love FAU's track: like 30 pretty ridiculous (pretty/in shape) chix were doing yoga right on the end of the inside of the track.

i don't creep/stare at people, but it does make for an extra testosterone/adrenaline boost in my experience. lmfao.

Yeah training for vertical/explosiveness is so injury prone. I have a weaker right knee because I slightly tore my LCL during a stretch 6 months ago and it never fully healed, had it been a bad tear i would have needed surgery and it would fully heal, but small tears don't need surgery and doesn't affect running/jumping much. But i could totally re injure it if I go up for a l-r slvj block in a game and land awkwardly with my right leg.

damn.

FWIW, i've had WAAAY more injuries related to distance running, than jumping. I was actually way healthier while verting than I have been with running. But, i've also done tons of dumb shit like try and change my foot strike & such while distance running, that probably accounted for like 30% of the injuries.. no one should ever do that. Just run, get stronger, get lighter, run faster, and stuff will change for the better. Just like in jumping where I didn't focus on form at all.. can't believe I fell for it with running.

Wow some pretty high intensity runs mixed in here. Not sure I could match this  :ibrunning: :ibrunning: Nice session.

hah cool, thanks! dno, maybe not on your own (right now), but if you were training with me I bet you could. You're in good shape & if you had someone to train with, it'd be alot easier. Those 400m workouts you did aren't easy to do alone... So I think you should give yourself more credit :D



Quote
Honestly I love how you kind of go through phases of exploring different types of sport and actually kind of committing to each one for a time: boxing, jumping, tennis, 5k endurance, walking, anaerobic intervals (1 mile).

thanks man. yea it's good & bad though:

I'd have kept boxing if I didn't hurt my hand, so that sucks that I basically got forced out of it. Didn't have the resolve (or insurance) to push through that. However, not boxing was probably a great thing for my brain, so I imagine quitting boxing was a good move.

jumping & dunking was awesome .. I miss it. One thing I don't miss so much though, is lifting hard. I just got tired of it & i'm still tired of it. I think my goals with jumping were "too high".. head to rim required even bigger lifts, and since I wasn't content with the vert I built, I started worrying a bit too much about getting injured & such. That's not why I stopped - that was a combination of other things. But once I detrained, just thinking about building back up to those strength levels would piss me off. Last year (2016) I got to ~33" RVJ IIRC without lifting, so i'm pretty confident I could get back up to ~35" with L-SLRVJ if I get consistent with it.. and i'd be very happy with that, if it didn't mean grinding out heavy lifting sets & such.

I actually worry alot about getting injured, even still to this day. I guess i've had so many injuries throughout my life that I dwell on the idea of receiving serious ones (again).

Tennis was very fun, but I realized after my first match that i'd have to dedicate way more time than I was willing to dedicate. Then I got that bad case of tennis elbow and I was just like, fuck it.

5k was dope. I'm still going to do those. :D

walking is interesting: I walked a ton when I dunked, and throughout my life. It's actually the most consistent thing i've ever done, when I think about it. And not just walking but, specifically long sessions dedicated to long walks. Even simple things like, walking home from school & such instead of taking the bus when I was younger, walking to/from basketball courts. The biggest difference now is, I have cool data to mess with so that I can really push myself & track progress. Now it's on a whole new level :D

I've also spent alot of time doing intervals too: for basketball growing up, for boxing, for jumping, for 5k, and now. I've always enjoyed experiencing "the acid". During my basketball days, it'd be rare if I ever lost line sprints/suicides etc. So going back a long time, i've enjoyed the brief intense efforts of ~1 minute in duration.

Since you brought it up I figured i'd reflect a bit! :ninja:

TLDR: seems like i've probably done more walking + running + sprinting than anything else in my life, especially when you factor in those components as part of practicing/playing basketball. Coming in second would probably be single leg jumps as part of layups and such in basketball.

FWIW, I'd really like to stick to something again for several years and reach a real peak like I did with jumping/dunking.. If I could focus on walking/running/sprinting for several years without major setbacks/injury, I personally think i'd hit some crazy numbers at some point - even if they are just age graded / age group specific - which i'll be more than happy with as well.

peace man!!

bw = 157
- carb'd up, hydrated, etc
- happy about this .. definitely losing fat .. have a ton more to drop.
- goal: leanest ever, low 140's

soreness = not much
aches/injuries = left PF BARELY, right calf BARELY

felt pretty good.. funny how last night's POST i was pretty annoyed, then today I woke up, felt great, went for a LIGHT walk, felt amazing .. so decided to hit the track.



early walk: very light
- 12 PM - 2 PM
- astonished at how fast it was, considering how light I was going .. crazy
- pretty much everything in the 17:XX's and I was purposefully walking slow, lmao.



did a light session to see how my left PF & right calf felt .. they felt great, no pain at all.

destroyed a bunch of grapefruits when I came home .. heaven.



track session:
- 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
- pretty tough
- opened up my first 400m way too fast probably @ ~1:10 / 4:39 min/mi, lmfao.
- had a few 100's under 13s
- last interval (200m) was 32.1





right calf started tightening up a bit shortly after starting the session .. but didn't really get worse .. so held back a little.

killed a ton of grape fruit juice after the session .. was awesome. man i'm obsessed with grape fruit lately. :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

right calf got pretty tight after the session.. guh.



a photo of one of my dad's bikes:





some weird selfie after track session:





i'd like to wakeup early and walk for a long time.. not going to be able to do much training wednesday night or thursday.
