I'm not a huge reader of Lyle's stuff, it's too based in the broscience of cabs/proteins/fats but he is a smart guy. Just not interested in that it isn't useful.

lolwut.

A recently study looked at galactose and fructose, concluding liver glycogen synthesis was enhanced. Avoiding fructose for whatever reason doesn't make sense. It just shows me how out of touch people are with their bodies and understanding its signals.

There are plenty of studies showing that fructose and glucose enhance muscle glycogen stores as well.

also, jc, either you're being coy and i'm just not getting it, or your broscience is showing.

So perhaps explain what "you do not agree with" not what is "wrong with this post" because chances are you are "wrong."

I'm not a fan of dieting.

you're not. a fan. of dieting.

It's better to promote a discussion than use the gay emoticons. From my perspective, saying that fruit is bad after a workout really perplexes me, I've never heard that before and could similarly use stupid pictures to express myself but I'd like to understand where these beliefs come from. Sometimes opinions on matters like these are split into certain 'schools' of thought. So explain please

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the fruit PWO thing was about the last item on everyone's list of "things that are wrong with this post."

that said, i'm also curious what JC is talking about with that there fruit comment.

- warm up

- CMJ x a couple

- squat 10 x 3 x 270
not bad

- handstand practice x 10-15 mins

- GHR sit ups x 25, +5kg x 20,20

- more handstand practice, getting a little better

- stretch

Was a little nervous about the volume and the lack of rest from yesterday, so I kind of bitched out on jumping. In retrospect, wouldn't have been a problem. I squat better if I set up and stand up properly out of the rack. There was a fantastic basketball game going on for the first half of the workout. White team down 20, came back to win on a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds on the clock. Red team had a dude who threw down a legit tomahawk on a breakaway at one point. Really, really nasty hops, guy was probably 6-5, 6-6 or so but threw down very hard, head near rim. Cool to watch. But they choked like bitches, lol.

Week one of Smolov base mesocycle complete.

listen,
I'm 5'11"-6'0"
160-165lbs 7'8" reach

air alert 4 worked for me when i did it 2 yrs ago.
i started at 15 inches, i then gained 9 inches after 4 weeks of air alert training and waiting 2 weeks off for recovery before testing results.  had to stop for reasons like college workload and time. i'm at 24 inch vert now off of two legs., i was also doing strength weight training at the time and that helped alot i think.

my quickness was elevated noticeably after i began playing at the college rec center in sum pickup games. so was my endurance in the game and energy level. being in south texas, we dont see alot of people with giant height's. its rare to see someone who is over 6'2-6'3. i had no probs with my knees. I'm 33 now turning 34 in late dec.

getting back at it now this July 2011, so i am gonna keep weight training too. still got the 24" vert so i've kept the inches i gained before. so i started airalert this morning all the way from week 1 low reps.
as of this july i'm back squatting 235 x8 and can leg press 280lbs maybe a bit more. i jog 1.5 miles every 3 days. i do sprints on saturday's. i workout on a 3-day weekly rotation. i take creatine, vitamins, protein supps, BCAA's,  try to eat a minimum of 3000 calories a day since i'm trying to gain muscle mass for the lady's. my body is naturally an ectomorph and resembles that of Adarq's except im handsome.

 

so what?

why was that childish? it was just meant to be a reminder that you can get rally strong without much barbell training.

Maybe the fault is on my side here. But I feel that you don't make an effort to be understood. You posting that video might implicate a variety of meanings. It can very well be interpreted as a criticism to me asking this question in the first place or making fun of the idea that barbells are a superior training tool for most purposes. Why not just make the point and say "you can get really strong without much barbell training" and then post the video?

even if that's the case, which it very obviously wasn't, why do care so much?
