friday:

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low-moderate

- warm up

- sprints
6 x 10y

- DLRVJ
bad but not horrible, then slipped

- MR DL bounds
one set of ten, then some dudes were gonna play knockout and that sounded like fun. and it was. but then i was gassed -- only four of us, pretty intense games, and i'm in laughably bad shape.

- REA squat 4 x 3
135,135,135,135

then started with MSEM squats at 265, light weight, but my legs just didn't want to bend. i don't know, whatever, it was worth it to play knockout. fun game. said fuck it, walked home and stretched.

saturday

- volleyball x 45 mins

- catch x 20 mins

beautiful day, worked up a sweat, felt great.

Oh, nice vag, going with sprints eh? I've never seen you do 2-leg bounds though, if your aim is two footed jumps. But sprints will definitely do a lot of good things to your body.

he's been doing tempo runs for months if not years, wtf are you talking about.

That's all fine but that's what I'm getting at with you overthinking everything.  On a VJ and speed forum when someone says "black" they're generally not referring to Kenyan americans. I think you knew that. When the OP mentioned dancing he's not referring to professional dancers or anyone whose ever received professional dance training.  Take a group of untrained people and have them dance (or do any other physical maneuver) and you get a look at what type of people are inherently good at it and which ones aren't. Same goes with artwork or any other skill.  There are exceptions to everything but look at general tendencies.

i'm overthinking it because you're so dramatically underthinking it that you're actually completely wrong. why i'm still arguing with you is a mystery as you're basically ignoring what i write.

your argument -- and it's by no means unique to you, obviously; it's a pervasive stereotype -- boils down to: "i have seen these people who jump high and are fast and also they are black, as defined by me. therefore, black people are, in general, naturally able to jump high and fast, as compared to whites or other races/ethnic groups."

close analogue: "black people are incarcerated at higher rates than other ethnic groups in the US. therefore, black people are inherently likelier to commit crimes than other ethnic groups." same thing.

or another close analogue: "children of recent chinese and korean immigrants often excel in school. therefore, in general, they are naturally smarter than other ethnic groups."

also, i know what the OP meant by dancing and my point was that people who are good dancers are people who started practicing dance as little kids. not all of those people started out with ballet or got professional training, duh. some of them just always danced: they saw adults dancing at family parties, so they danced, too. then, when they got older, they didn't look like complete fuckups dancing at parties. that seems much more likely than your argument: "stereotypical nerds, as defined by me, are usually not good at dancing and tend to overthink things. therefore, less intelligent people, also as defined by me, who i declare don't overthink things as much, are better at dancing." that makes no goddamn sense.

i mean, it's entirely possible that all people with skin tone and facial features that fall into the U.S.-invented category "black" are more likely to be good leapers and runners than people whose skin tone and features fall into other parts of the spectrum. and it's entirely possible that dumb people are better dancers than smart people, as defined however you want. but i doubt it.

^^^ not sure if serious.

it sort of looks like what you would do when you want to do a jump on a bike. Maybe he's trying to simulate that with weights so he can do higher jumps, just a guess.

if true, that's some deeply flawed reasoning right there.

yesterday:

BW = ???
SORENESS = hip flexors (?)
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate

session 2 : power

- warmup
lot of stretching before normal warm up

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up
x 6 == pretty fast

- jumps : 2 step & vert
shitty. even got a little advice from a dude who was throwing down HARD (nightfly status, dude was like 6-4 or so) but it didn't help. was good advice but too many people using the court.

- MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing
in the parking lot, not bad

- Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT medium effort, arm swing
10,10,10,10

- REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%)
135,135,135,135

- MSEM squat: 2 x 4 (~90%)
295,295 == strong but lower back is feeling it

- BSS : 3 x 3

- core

- stretch

ran out of time, stretched at home.

ran out of time, still a good workout.

obviously needs to squat more.
