New side goal: disprove this.

Quote from: Rip
It's NOT done all the time, and that is simply bullshit. Any athlete that has a legit TRAINED 36-38" SVJ started out with a 30-32+. Show us your data, and show us the video of the jump test method you use.

My SVJ when I started all this business was 25". I have the video somewhere. On my best days now it's probably 29". I care much, much, much more about RVJ and I'm a lot closer to 36" RVJ (obviously), but if I had a 36" SVJ I could dunk a soccer ball from a standstill. That would be neat.

edit: Assuming you're HB and Lance is Reverse Hypertrophy, Lance was on some straight TLDR shit in that thread.

LBSS,

Now you're creating a strawmen. I never said blacks were better dancers and I never said dumb people were better dancers. I said people thought to be highly intelligent that think a lot generally aren't good dancers (or good athletes).  And they aren't. Regardless of skin color.   The evolution of the human brain particularly with regards to front brain development does explain why if you link that with movement skills.

okay, fair enough. you never actually said that dumb(er) people were better dancers than (more) intelligent people. but that's a pretty logical next step from "more intelligent people tend to be worse dancers." i mean, if they're worse dancers, then they have to be, well, worse than somebody. because your category was "more intelligent people," then by default the compared-to category is "less intelligent people." i mean, right? is "less intelligent people" not basically the same as "dumber" people? if not, forgive my laziness earlier. i should have changed all references to "dumb" or "dumber" people to "less intelligent people," to be more in keeping with your original statement.

i never said in my responses that you'd said that black people were better dancers, but i think i get why you thought i was implying that. for the record, i was thinking of, among other people, this unbelievably nerdy guy (the dude went to st. john's college: they learn calculus by reading principia mathematica) i met at a wedding recently who was cleaning UP with the bridesmaids and other female guests because he'd started swing dancing when he was a kid and never stopped. not that he was even swing dancing at the wedding, he was just dancing. panties were flying off all around him. if i didn't already have a girlfriend to dance with my clumsy ass and then have sex with me later, i would have been envious as shit.

the point is, you're still just making the strange, possibly true (but probably not) conjecture that people who "think a lot" or who are "thought to be highly intelligent" are not as good dancers as people who "think less," as defined by yourself. and i'm telling you that whether they're "thought to be intelligent" is probably completely irrelevant to whether they're good dancers or not. to my mind, unless you can prove it in some way other than a casual reference to "the evolution of the human brain with regards to front brain development" (what does that even mean?), then you're just babbling.




also, lamp, "young males of west african descent" =/= "black people." barack obama is also referred to as black, but he's half kenyan and half white (irish). if you can link to those studies, i'd love to see them. "young males of west african descent" is at least a somewhat defined category. ffs.

that one, where he tips it to himself, is insane. he's the only person i've ever seen do that. made this comment in the other thread but: ACTUAL original dunk = awesome.

BW = 170
SORENESS = very tiny amount in hamstrings, barely worth mentioning
ACHES/INJURIES = anterior right knee, but it was gone by the end of the workout
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- MSEM squat 1 x 4
295

had a work thing that went really late so didn't get to the gym until, well, really late. that's all i had time/motivation for. i also found out on my way to work out my brother relapsed last weekend, so, yeah. that kind of killed whatever energy i had. the 295 was incredibly easy, fwiw. bouncing off my back.

 :(

I'm not sure if you're serious :o, but if you really want to lose 20 plus lbs just become a vegan. I guarantee you would lose that weight if you didn't use oils and took brown rice or soy protein shakes.



the fat vegan disagrees

high-intensity plyos like depth jumps and depth drops would be stupid, true, but light reactive exercises like line hops, submax pogos, etc. aren't going to hurt and will probably help. sprints won't hurt, either, if you keep the volume low.

but yeah, building strength is most important.

Hi adarq,

Why is it a good idea to lose so BW? Is it still possible to maintain your current strength level at 130lbs? What's your plan on doing it?



+



=

definitely possible

BW = 170
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = none

- sprints : 10-20's
2 @ 60%, 2 @ 90% == had to do outside in alley, uneven ground

all mediocre, only three reps on last set because these guys would not stop talking about paleo dieting and i literally had to leave the area. could not concentrate, was about to lose my mind.

- squat : 3 x 5
280,280,280 == strong

- BSS : 3 x 5 each
135,135,135 == light weight cause i switched to BB. gonna max out the DBs sometime soon so I figured I might as well switch.

135,135,135,135 == right ankle started tweaking mildly, wtf?

last night i had some really stressful dreams. only remember that at one point i needed to iron all my shirts and didn't know how, so i kept screwing up. meanwhile my mom was there nagging at me about how we were in a hurry, how i was taking too long. lots of other stuff happened, too, but i forget it all. i just woke up feeling really tense and uneasy.

weird.

1:07 is awesome because I've literally never seen that done before. Originality in a dunk = epic win.
