Nice I realized again you're in DC ( been seeing the signs for the tournaments all over the place on the metro). I work in DC at Bally's.
Anyway why do you foam roll before and not after a workout?
you've never heard of main lift + accessory lifts, steven-miller?
Sure I "heard" of it. Does not make it useful for a beginner though. You add accessory lifts when main lifts get stuck as an intermediate lifter. Other than that I don't see the need for too much variety.
Yeah I like med ball throws as well, but I do alot of throwing already.
i don't know if this forum has a new post section to show the posts that have been made since you last logged on. but it is a very good feature to have to keep you updated on several topics you want to keep an eye instead of trying to remember what it is and where it is.
this is the major feature which i think all forums should have
thanks
I'd like to see this paper or whatever that says he's not actually running. Not to be rude or anything, I'm actually genuinely interested. Whether or not he runs doesn't change the fact that he's a beast. He's still the world record holder in the paralympics for the 100m and 200m.
everyone gains fat when they gain weight. except steroid users. and sometimes even them. the proportion you gain of muscle and fat depends on (not in order of importance):
1. your genes,
2. your size and how fat you are when you start trying to gain weight,*
3. your activity level and the types of activities you're doing, and
4. your diet.
*e.g. very fat, untrained people are generally the only people who can really build muscle and lose fat at the same time. everyone else is stuck with at least a little fat gain.
But I recently, gained some muscle mass, while losing fat. I started at ~13%BF, only 153lbs at 5'8". This was my goal and I asked Lance this before and he said it is very possible to gain muscle and lose fat simultaneously. I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, but yeah...
#5 is pretty impressive too
Goal 135. Crazy fuck.
Anyways, was thinking. I respond well to that template for strength, but if I want my legs to get more explosive, is this still the way to go with the depth jumps, oly and squat?
I've just read Raptors One-leg running jump - reactive vs strength jumping article and realized that I'm a total reaction jumper. Great for dunks comps and all but when it comes to game situations, i.e dunking on fast breaks I find my leg gives out if I'm really trying to get up there. Its like my mind is saying dunk and my leg is saying fuck you, thus resulting in a totally uncoordinated dunk attempt where I only get 3 inches of the ground.
What exercises should I be working on to help me become more of a complete jumper?.
Read his dispute over prosthetics in wikipedia. It's all well cited, at least from the bits I've read. CAS actually repealed IAAF's ban on him because they didn't present enough evidence to show he had an unfair advantage, especially when weighed against his disadvantages like his slower starts. (In the video you can see he's still behind everyone at around the 150m mark.
Can't these artificial legs help? I don't want to sound like a jerk but can't they actually give you an advantage?
Pistorius had an eventful year off the track - a boating accident which was alleged to have been the result of alcohol, a night in jail after allegations of assault, and finally, a research publication by his own scientists which suggested that he enjoyed an advantage of 10 seconds in a 400m race.
