« on: October 29, 2010, 09:38:16 am »Oh, one more thing to note about my sprinting. I feel like the strength in each of my strides is better, and I'm getting my knees high like I should. But I need to work on turnover. I feel only slightly faster than last year and it seems purely from strength. If I can work more on actually moving my legs faster along with getting more distance in each step I think that will help me get much faster.
Not the same to say about long jump. The extra pop in my step is definitely going to make for some impressive jumps this coming year. I'm excited to see how well that goes.
Decided to split the upperbody into tomorrow. Squats yesterday were overkill after being sick so I'm going to go a bit lighter until next week.
Forgive me if I've asked this before, but have you gone over to Charlie Francis's forum yet? There are some track coaches on there with a ton of experience who are willing to help with technique, drills, etc., if you ask.

Quote trees get so ridiculous on this site. Flander, if you can't get your hands on a foam roller, just use a soccer ball. A little harder to balance on for some things but it'll have the same effect. In Stretch to Win they actually recommend a ball over a foam roller for most things because it's more maneuverable.

You were not previously familiar with Mr. Enamait? I hadn't visited Ross Boxing in a while but I think it's time to get back into the habit. Love that guy. And yeah, he's a freaking monster. I want to be able to jump rope like that.

adarq: college in UK =/ college in US
our man h-pour is 16 and british. my guess is he's talking about UK college.
US college = UK uni
add it to the list of things all english speakers in the world say wrong except americans.

« on: October 27, 2010, 05:37:48 pm »Nope... dunk contest dunkers practice dunking all time in a dunk contest/freeway to the rim environment. In game dunkers and basketball players do this as well but don't have the time/rest/resources to only do this so they also practice basketball skill and dunk in games, which is different.
Which is why the dunks by Shannon Brown, Rudy Gay, etc. are so freaking amazing. It's one thing to get a full run-up and a perfect toss. It's something completely different to throw down a sweet dunk in the fourth quarter when Kendrick Perkins and Paul Pierce are simultaneously trying to stop you.

Raptor , that's also a great idea for easy consumed nutritional extra
Thanks a lot, I'm a genius!
Motherfuckers, if you think it would be easy to beat me into smoothie-making condition, you've got another think coming. At best you will end up in a caloric deficit from the energy you expend trying to beat me. At worst I will eat you alive. No fucking around with smoothies, either, I'm talking scrap by scrap.
Paleo, motherfuckers! What! WHAT!

you actually read those?
Yes, zgin. Yes, I do. All the time.
The names look danish.
I love that idea. Were are not racehorses bro. We are fast and explosive barnyard animals. You, a donkey. Me, a baboon.
Baboon. Barnyard animal.
