this is stealing



Stolen, copied/pasted from another source.

Cover your eyes LAMP.

it's not stealing, you unbelievable idiot. it's freely available at the link you provided and you gave a citation, rather than trying to pass it off as your own work. good job.

torrenting something that someone else has produced and copyrighted is stealing.

LMFAO, dude eats a fucking choclate egg on EASTER, so lets KILL HIM!

rofl, tough crowd in here.

it's not that there's a tough crowd, it's that sickenininin is a moron.

Why the crappy diet Andrew & all that sugar/chocolate?.

It will drain you of everything & you will constantly feel like $hit. You know how important diet is man.

If I could neg this post 1000 times, I would. Unfortunately, I am limited to one neg.

What Sean said x one million.

May have PR'd yesterday afternoon. Got ~1" below wrist on a 9'7" rim. That's a 123" touch or 33" RVJ. Which would be a PR. On slippery, gravely asphalt.

So yeah, I'm counting that.

you have very long, narrow feet. just an observation.

last night:

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = big toes, right ankle/heel (?)
FATIGUE = low
DIET = not good, slept late so not much breakfast

-warm up

-sprints 4 x 15y

-RVJ x a bunch
mostly meh but felt a LOT better than the other day, much smoother acceleration

-squat 3 x 5
275,275,265 == form okay but not great, depth good, lowered weight to get better form. relax the ego...

-BSS 3 x 5e
140,140,140

-core
--chin ups x a bunch
--prone toe touches x a bunch
--dips (full stop at bottom) x a bunch

-stretch

right peroneal and right ankle started hurting a bit. could be because the top two eyelets in my right shoe just ripped through, so i couldn't lace them all the way up. wtf. need new shoes.

i fought gravity and gravity won. couple good jumps, mostly shit. the problem is unquestionably my slow-as-molasses approach.

god dammit

Have you tried a caffed-up ME jump session? It makes huge difference. 3 teaspoons of instant coffee + 1 redbull offers an awesome CNS boost ( plus some placebo effect ).
Other stim tricks? Try one of those combo KellyB suggests:

==========================================================

Depth jump x 5 from 24 inch box rest 3 minutes running jump x 3

Jump with weighted vest x 3 rest 5 minutes regular jump x 3

*45 degree back extension Iso hold with toes pointed x 7 seconds - rest 3 minutes - jump variation

* This one is the brainchild of Coach Andrew Darqui who had excellent results with it.

==========================================================

Also try a lower rim , not too low though , something like 9'10''. It builds up confidence because it still looks high but you touch higher and get pumped up. That's a bit tricky though , if it's lower like 9'8'' or so, i lose the pump , rim looks childish...

Yeah I wish I had easy access to a lower rim. There are some behind the middle school near my parents' house but I don't know of any in my neighborhood. I'm gonna be out there on Sunday for Easter so I will try to make a trek over to the courts if it's not raining. I want to measure the rims there, at least. I could definitely get pumped for 9'8" if I had a ball with me and could actually try to dunk.

Never caff'd up for dunking specifically because I almost always work out at night, and caffeine keeps me awake for hours. Actually, if I can swing a workout before Easter dinner on Sunday, that might be a good plan. Just drink a ton more coffee than usual, head to the short rims (sounds like short bus) and go for it.

My approach speed increases at lower rims, because at higher rims I have the tendency to take an even longer last step and go slower so I have more time to apply force, but this is while using an one-leg jump. Not sure what kind of jumping you use.

But on lower rims I can go quicker since the rim is lower and my approach becomes better.

This actually rings true for me. I jump DL but I think I slow down because I'm worried about having enough time to actually apply force. Really, overthinking has always been a problem for me. It's easier to flow on lower rims, too, because I don't have it in mind that I have to try as hard just to touch the damn thing. When I do get good approaches (once in a while) I get PR's or near PR's.
