For me, it happens straight away like first few reps, I have to like force myself to come up on my toes. Don't know it happens.
Andrew Darqui Some prop dunks are pretty sick. Some (non-blatant) push off dunks are pretty sick. Absolutely every dunker i've watched has dunked on low rims at some point, whether it's in an actual contest or in some dunk mix. If someone isn't as creative or "original", they might steal a dunk. If someone doesn't have as much vert as his competitors, he might rely more on props or some boosts. If dunkers are competing on the same hoop, it all evens out in the end. Most fans aren't purists & most judges are clueless: those are the constraints. Dunkers who are purists themselves are great for the sport, I mean they keep it grounded & are good role models. But it can also be a slippery slope, purists tend to inject alot of negativity into those things that they love when they see youngins/outsiders encroaching. It's starting to look like a battle between the "purists" and the "progressives", typical evolution of sport I imagine - purists normally lose though, so be careful to not deprecate yourselves. As for me personally, I guess i'm finding it more annoying seeing a few dunkers and a few negative but not accomplished "hater-dunkers" fuel this debate even more than it should be fueled, turning it into some futile campaign that won't actually end well but will instead just cause alot of fissures. The dunk game has evolved & improved considerably over the last 10 years, fact - not opinion. peace.

Cals: 2750 (156c, 57s, 126f, 181p)
2 hrs light ultimate pickup
45 min moderate intensity jog with some ME sprints at the end
I strained my left psoas during the ME sprints.. I was in runners high and they felt effortless and super fast.. this was dumb
Sprints were also w/o brace, knee feels janky today. On the plus side back feels fine.

When doing calf raises, do you ever get that situation when you are going on to the balls of the feet, the feet rotates outwards and you find yourself doing calf raises using the outer half of your feet. How do you fix it if it is a problem? maybe if you point both toes inwards?
Manny pacquiao will be exercising the rematch clause and is expected to take place around towards the end of the year maybe november/december.
I think it's good thing for pacquiao, if he wants to prove that he was the winner, he needs to make it more evident in the rematch, avoid close rounds.

Mcgregor is cheap and a scumbag: paulie lol<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj6SWpfrnvc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj6SWpfrnvc</a>
Nice, they will be showing it on the bbc channels and online. Excited. Bolt not doing the 200m as he sees the risk of losing it is quite high. Should be exciting.
100m prospects: degrasse, gatlin (little to some chance), yohan blake recovering well, new american talent and usain bolt.
Then you have van neekirk and his blasting away the competitions in the 400m and breaking records. I don't see kirani james or the american guy keeping up with him.
I bet Bolt is kicking himself now after the 100m. Bolt is a phenomenal 100m sprinter but to me his 200m has always been where he is the standout as nobody can match his top speed and speed maintenance. However, most importantly getting a bad start is a lot less detrimental in the 200m in comparison to the 100 because you have the time to make up. Despite the loss Bolt is a legend.

it's a fair question for sure.. maybe not to bolt/gatlin/coleman in that moment, but, definitely a fair question overall.. times were getting insane, everyone running under 9.8, with 9.7's and 9.6's, even 9.5's for bolt.. all of that "fire" seemed to disappear. Now, a 9.8 and even a low 9.9 is back to winning everything.
so many people over the years got busted, including Tyson Gay & Gatlin himself, as well as several of Bolt's teammates.
Bolt's response was a bit over the top..
I still hope he's clean.

Also, Blake kinda just "shows up" in 2012..
Yeah I can understand the frustration though. Ever since the Ben Johnson saga the results have always been overshadowed with suspicion.
Blake got a suspension early in his career for using stimulants. He really came out of the shadows in 2011 when he won the World Champs after Bolt's infamous false start. Unfortunately for Blake he's just had a tumultuous time with injuries and as a sprinter to get to your peak you need to be injury free and sustain that. Michael Johnson apart from his speed and being up until recently the world's greatest 200/400m sprinter in history was very fortunate in that he was durable and didn't have many injuries along the way.
With regards to Gatlin of course I agree that it's a pity he has used PEDs in the past. However, you've got to admire his resilience to come back after 2 doping bans and still being a force in his mid 30's. A lot of other people would've received a 4 year ban and given it all away and nobody would blame them.
