steven-miller's next project is to get really really fast by doing nothing but double-legged bounds.

Nah, I'm too old.
Was in the other magnet, CAP. Lots of friends in math/sci magnet, though.

« on: November 16, 2010, 11:13:11 am »Ha nice man. You are getting a bit heavy again
I see you do those single arm db bench as well. What the advantage to them compared to regular db bench?
just to even out any imbalances, for myself especially, my right arm is MUCH stronger, for example, i can standing 1 arm OHP 40 lb x ~8+ with right arm, 0 left arm... so ya btw it's standing 1-arm OHP, not bench press, i have no bench ;d
peace
Bro, unilateral exercises are no better than bilaterals for evening out imbalances. Don't you know anything?

Thanks man! It's the Takoma Middle School in MD (i.e. Takoma Park). I went to Blair for HS. Takoma is about 2.5 blocks from where I grew up.

« on: November 15, 2010, 11:23:54 pm »This shit is apples and oranges.
Why not just do both and reap the benefits they provide?
If you're an athlete(that involves running), and you want to only do bilateral work, it will catch up to you.
IMO, there's no point attacking a single 'method' b/c of what it lacks. No single 'method' is all inclusive to get you strong, powerful, fast, and ripped, etc. Use each 'method' what it's meant for.
Comparing lunges and squats is retarded. You can do max effort squats, but why the fuck would you do max effort lunges?
This.

« on: November 15, 2010, 11:01:19 am »i agree with Flander
Darq, i think you should take into account that your tendons/ligaments/cartilaginous tissues and fascia(correct me if i'm wrong) heal and take longer to recover than the muscles. my point is, you might feel ok in terms of soreness and cns fatigues, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening
just a thought..
You're giving advice to a brick wall, fellas.

REA squats with 143 lbs is ridiculous. I can barely do them with 95 and I'm probably only doing them well when the weight gets down to 75.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Stretch to Win
« on: November 14, 2010, 05:50:30 pm »LBSS, you hear about this book through defranco? He often remarks how all the stretching techniques he learned were from the Fredricks.
Adarq, have you ever tried the rectoris femoris/psoas stretch kelly baggett recommends?
Nah, saw it recommended on Lyle's forum. Probably by Lyle, actually, now that I think about it. But if Lyle likes it and DeFranco likes it, you can be pretty sure it's a badass book.

« on: November 13, 2010, 05:11:00 pm »Welcome to my world. This week I skipped a couple workouts because I literally didn't have time in the day to eat. Ironically my Sunday journal entry was about how much more I've been eating lately. Musical rehearsals at school shot that down. I'm hardly home right now.
That's rough, man. Makes me think of that old Checkers commercial:
You gotta eat.
What are you do-in'?
Said who do you think you are?
You won't get far.
You gotta eat.
Checkers.

Up at my parents' watching the dogs cause family is out of town. Took advantage by going over to the middle school to dunk on their sub-10-feet baskets. Unforunately, the only ball in the whole house that isn't a tennis ball is...a softball. So I had to use that. Still, felt nice to actually put something through a basket for once, instead of trying just to get a knuckle above the rim. Not sure of the height but I'll go back and measure at some point. Got some video, too, which I'll upload when I get back to my house.
warm up
medium-speed down-and-backs on the basketball court
mobility drills, leg swings, etc.
15y sprints x2 @80-85%
work
1-step jumps x8-10 -- some with ball some without
full run-up jumps x8-10 -- same
cool down
stretch
Again, not sure how high I was getting but the video plus a measuring tape will help with that. Felt nice. Full run-ups were good, I was actually starting gradually and then accelerating into the plant somewhat. Need to focus on getting low cause I'm damn sure not reactive enough to jump high otherwise.

First workout since Monday, I was so excited. Wasn't an awesome workout, but whatever.
warm up
shoot hoops -- cold then hot
sprinter's warm ups
10y sprints x4 -- pretty light intensity

1-step x10-12 -- mostly shitty but a couple I actually got low and hit 30"
tuck jumps 2x10
pogos 2x5
REA squat 2x3x75
jump squat 3x3x75

OHP 3x5x105 -- figured I might as well progress from 95
chin up 3x5x44 (chain weighs 8.5, so weight from the other day should be 41.5)

Yesterday I worked from 8 AM to 11 PM.
Gym closes at 10 PM.
You figure out whether I worked out or not.
This will all be over today and then I can actually start working out again.
