SMR x45 mins
stretching x45 mins
Didn't end up doing any cardio, but 90 minutes of soft-tissue work has me feeling like it was time well spent anyway.
EDIT: Also, weighed myself at the gym and was 166.4, which is about 4 pounds lighter than usual. Not eating enough.

Game also tends to get rough when it's down to 0, people following their shots and fouling the buhjesus out of everybody.

- 2x3 dropsteps : 29-ish ( 30 = smash head on ceiling, we don't want that!)
We want that only if there's video of it.

Quads are sore, particularly left quad. More so than after last jumping session. Failure to stretch after workout = idiotic. SMR + stretching + cardio + stretching today should help.
adarq, question about stim: how should I do it?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: High squat, low VJ?
« on: November 29, 2010, 02:29:44 pm »
First of all, 365 squat at 200 lbs isn't all that great a squat. Nor is 400 DL. Second of all, yes, pure strength training can leave you unexplosive. Take me, for example. Months of Starting Strength got my squat up to 320 and DL up to 360 at 170 lbs. Not great numbers but relatively stronger than your teammate. And I went from barely being able to touch the rim off a full run-up to barely being able to touch the rim off a run-up (my reach is 7'6"). Not to say that didn't provide me with a better base to build athletic improvements on later than I might have had. Just saying focusing on one aspect of vert won't necessarily get you a good vert.
Long story short: getting strong is good but not the whole story. Unless you're a powerlifter.

Paging Gilbert... Plus if he actually shoots someone maybe we can void his contract and spend that money on some better players.
We can probably feed the whole African continent for years. Eradicate hunger. Please Gilbert, shoot!
Um, are you advocating cannibalism of low-level NBA players? Cause that's who Gilbert was threatening to shoot.

« on: November 29, 2010, 09:57:40 am »god we need a thread on how people play 21 in every state /country.. hah
Maryland: they're called "taps" and it's up 3 down 3. That down to 0 shit is so annoying, makes the game take forever. And there's definitely no D except 1-on-1. Playing help D in 21 is a great way to avoid getting rebounds and therefore to lose.

^^^ Epic freeze frame for the title screen. What the hell are his feet DOING up there?
EDIT: Also, I'm 99% sure I've seen video of Troy Polamalu doing shit like that. Goes to show that you can train like a complete idiot and still be dominant at your sport.

More good jumping. A couple of 31.5, a few more 31, a few more 30.5 and the rest 30. One or two felt like PRs but I don't want to say they were any higher than 31.5. Tucks were okay, pogos were mostly okay, although last set was better than the others. Occurred to me to try dunking a tennis ball at the end, but I was tired at that point and need more height before I get that much of my fingers over the rim anyway. Getting stuffed by the rim with a tennis ball in hand = epic fail. At least there was no one else in the gym. Too happy that last workout's improvement wasn't a fluke to care.
