^^^ 70kg db floor presses are crazy. Add that to the list of strength feats I will never accomplish.

As strong as possible without your strength training interrupting your basketball training.

« on: January 08, 2011, 09:15:53 pm »Person B, because of the increased leverage a higher center of gravity provides. That is - if they have the same structure, Person B will jump higher. But since you're saying they have the same VJ, that means they don't have the same structure so Person A will probably respond better to the fat loss.
But this is HIGHLY theoretical and you shouldn't ever worry about that since there are SOOO many other things to consider.
AH, Ok. So person B is in better current shape (for a leaper) and person A would respond better to fat loss/training because he would get rid of the lower body fat, as person B has less lower body fat to lose and more upper body fat to lose.
I have another great hypothetical. Best friends, one named George and the other named Andre. Who's likely to dunk first if they start training at the same time?

BW = idk but I'm about to buy a scale
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe was bugging a little but nothing major
FATIGUE = none, which is odd because I didn't sleep well
DIET = ok, sipped protein shake starting halfway through workout, which I don't normally do. Liked that.
s1: volume-strength
- RATING (7/10)
- warmup
- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
basketball games going on, so subbed in
- depth jump 3x3
- depth drop 3x3
- MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
shot hoops during rest periods, couldn't miss
- SQUAT: 3 x 8
185,185,185
- trap bar DL 3x5
275,275,275 == first time doing these in forever, super light
- OHP: 3x5
120,120,120 == hard
- DB row: 3x8
70,70,70
- UNILATERAL: 3 x 8e (BSS)
140,140,140 (2x70# db) == hard
- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?)
full sit up 3x15+25# plate

Basketball / Re: Jordan Haters - They exist? WHAT THE F.
« on: January 08, 2011, 12:43:11 am »ok build your team around a 40 yr old MJ who has at the most 3 more years left... you're obviously a tool lbss... get a life... lol
MJ was top-heavy at that point, so obviously was in a better position to improve than bottom-heavy Rip Hamilton. Obviously you are a fucking retard.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Top heavy vs bottom heavy
« on: January 07, 2011, 01:38:25 pm »For a person that has excess body fat, is it more advantageous to be top heavy or bottom heavy when starting out?
Example: Person A and person b are both fatass with 30% body fat.
A is top heavy, b is bottom heavy. Who will make better progress based on given info.
What the fuck are you talking about? Progress on what? What info do you think you've provided there? Wait, wait, sorry, I've got it. Bottom heavy. No, wait, top heavy. Definitely top heavy, because once they start lifting weights, the top-heavy persons legs will have been stronger to begin with because they're farther from the ground, so their legs had to fight gravity more. Definitely that.

Rip wasn't on the Wizards in 02-03. In the one year he and Jordan played together, 01-02, Rip shot 41% from the field and 28% from three and had almost a 1:1 assist/TO ratio. So yeah, definitely the kind of player you want to be building a team around.

I work in international development. The programs I manage deal primarily with disaster risk reduction and humanitarian assistance, so, for example, responding comprehensively to the flooding in Pakistan. Although if you ask adarq, I'm a spy for the CIA.
I want/need:
- a scale
- a tiger tail
- a different place to do jumps
Tiger tail like from vinnie the pooh?
Tiger tail like this:
Also, lol @ "vinnie" the pooh. You Europeans...
