no gym yesterday because my friend had box seats at the legg mason tennis tournament and i've been wanting to go for YEARS. it was great, got to see james blake smoke the shit out of david nalbandian from like 15 feet away!


ADD THIS NOTE TO EVERY POST SO YOU KEEP REMEMBERING: JUMP EVERY WORKOUT. IF THERE'S NO SPACE, FIND SPACE.

FOAM ROLL BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT, LACROSSE/TENNIS BALL SMR AFTER EVERY WORKOUT.

STANDING QUAD/HAM/CALF/ITB/PEC STRETCHING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVERY HOUR OR SO.

KEEP SWEETS TO A MINIMUM. MOAR PROTEIN. MOAR VEGGIES.


BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = feet still a bit swollen/achey, knees scabbing over but still painful
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- stiff leg ankle hop 2 x 30

- squat 2 x 5
225,225

- chin up x 7

- dip x 7

- stretch

used this workout mainly to do some serious SMR, get the blood flowing a little, re-grease the squatting groove, and stretch a lot. today i'll try to see if i can pretend like the last week never happened and do 5 x 7 x 260. should suck but hopefully i won't fail. gonna eat a bit extra throughout the day to make sure i'm fueled up.

Scam or legit, what do you guys think?

gut says scam after 20 seconds on the site.

  You thought wrong.  The 40yd dash is pushed so heavily and sprint coaches have nit picked every detail from the big toe to the top of the head.  The vertical jump is coached primarily as "jump".   There are of course exceptions but most combine training facilities are "practicing" the vertical jump, while teaching in detail sprint technique/starts/every step in the race.

this is why i will never be fast, shitty big toes.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Basketball / Re: Why does my layup look like crap...
« on: August 01, 2011, 03:36:26 pm »
lots of people on here are better qualified than i am to offer advice, so all i'll say is, why are you taking all your layups with the same leg/arm combination? shouldn't the ones from the left be off the right leg and with the left hand? even i can make layups off both feet and with both hands and i suck at basketball.

^^ learn to use your left hand/ right leg on the left side, right hand/left leg on the left side.  Also, being that youre a two leg jumper, practice jumping off both as well.

the right/left layup he did on the left/right side seems to work for me so i can skoop under guys arms and get a foul. sorry off topic

Its fine to do reverses and all sorts of variations to the basics.  If you cant ACTUALLY DO THE BASICS though, its a good idea to learn them.  Jumping off the right leg and using the left hand and jumping off the left leg and using the right hand are basic skills, that keep the defense further away from the ball.  There is a reason that every basketball coach in the world teaches these skills to players at a very young age. 

this.

from the weekend:


ADD THIS NOTE TO EVERY POST SO YOU KEEP REMEMBERING: JUMP EVERY WORKOUT. IF THERE'S NO SPACE, FIND SPACE.

FOAM ROLL BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT, LACROSSE/TENNIS BALL SMR AFTER EVERY WORKOUT.

STANDING QUAD/HAM/CALF/ITB/PEC STRETCHING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, EVERY HOUR OR SO.

KEEP SWEETS TO A MINIMUM. MOAR PROTEIN. MOAR VEGGIES.


BW = ???
SORENESS = biceps, obliques, abs, traps, hip flexors, adductors, quads
ACHES/INJURIES = persistent cramp in middle of left foot, both toes bugging, right toe hurt like an absolute bitch yesterday, missing most of the skin on my knees and left elbow
FATIGUE = none

best. weekend. ever.

1. team went 3-3, should have beaten at least two of the teams we lost to but who cares, we were on the beach!
2. with very few exceptions all our opponents were cool, spirit was really strong.
3. i love the team i went with.
4. i played really well and made some insane plays, the kind you make and both sidelines blow up and people are still talking about them the next day.
5. i'm not in as bad shape as i thought i'd be.
6. the weather was perfect, could not have been better. and the water was perfect, too, nice and cold.
7. the parties were awesome.
8. i'm sore but not cripplingly so, burned but not too badly. walking a little gingerly today but i've experienced much worse after tournaments before. the one thing i'm worried about with working out tomorrow are my knees: bending them is kind of hard and the skin is very raw. i still have sand embedded under my skin there, lol.

i already can't wait for next year.

and now, some commentary:

my one ultimate tournament of the summer is this weekend (http://wildwoodultimate.com/), so i decided to take it easy on the squats today. it's a very, very low-pressure tournament but i still want to be relatively fresh. really looking forward to it even though i'm not in great shape cardio-wise.

i'll be on the beach all weekend running around, so no real workout until next week. my plan, pending how wrecked i am after the tournament, is just to start over with week 2 of smolov. 4 x 9 x 240 wasn't that hard, so i think i should be okay. schedule for the next few weeks ends up being:

Quote
july 31------------------------------------------ aug 6
tournament, rest, 4 x 9, rest, 5 x 7, rest, 7 x 5

aug 7 ------------------------------------------ aug 13
10 x 3, rest, 4 x 9, rest, 5 x 7, rest, 7 x 5

aug 14 ------------------------------------------ aug 20

10 x 3, rest, 2 x 2, rest, rest, TEST, leave for beach

aug 21 ------------------------------------------ aug 27
beach, beach, beach, beach, beach, beach, beach

beach will include lots of low-intensity exercise and probably some ME jumping and light plyos. will reevaluate whether to continue smolov based on how well my 1RM test goes, as well as how well i'm jumping throughout. so far it hasn't killed my jumping as much as i feared, so that's good, but i'm still at the easy end. i'll be shooting for a 345 squat, which would put me just over 2xbw.

rest days may include light exercise like tennis or interval sprints, upper will be sprinkled throughout as it has been.

now that i'm finished prognosticating and planning, i will commence furiously knocking on wood and throwing salt over my left shoulder.

last night:

FOAM ROLL BEFORE EVERY WORKOUT, LACROSSE/TENNIS BALL SMR AFTER EVERY WORKOUT.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left toe bugging
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- sprints x 10y
2 @ 60%
2 @ 90-95% == felt pretty fast

- DSVJ x 5-6

- DLRVJ x ~14-15
grabbed rim (weakly) on a bunch, strained my forearm on one because i was surprised and held on too long, lol. approaches felt pretty good, wasn't getting all that high (~31-31.5) but that's okay given that i did pretty high volume squats two days ago.

- ME pogos 3 x 5
getting a little better at these

- squat 2 x 3
275,275 == felt heavier than it should, weird

- stretch x 30 minutes
