My exact reaction to the picture as well...

A lot of my friends swear by SuperPump 250. I've tried it, and it is a great supplement for getting pumped before workouts. It's just too much $ to spend regularly so I don't buy it. I stick with just trying to get pumped the natural way by warming up, etc. Much cheaper! Haha.  :strong:

Another thing I've heard that works...kinda, is find a Youtube mix of basketball plays, or sports plays that you really like with some strong music and watch it before or while you workout. Guess that's more of a psyche type thing, but I've heard that can work too.

Hahaha. How much is it in your place? I did try to listen to music but it didn't make any difference. I was just to sleepy and tired. I haven't tried to eat balut before a work-out. I always eat it after. I'll try it next time. :)

Nah man, I got some phillipino friends..they eat that stuff all the time...I don't know the exact make up of balut in terms of protein/fat but i'd guess it has a decent amount of fat in it like any other eggs but they're a decent protein source for sure. You probably need to eat a few of them to get a meals worth of protein though. Are they cheap in the Phillipines?

hahaha! They are very cheap! But easily makes you feel full! It is around $ 0.25 for a piece. It is very delicious!

wtf are baluts?
They eggs?

explain son

They are pre-matured duck eggs where you could actually see the duck (with no feathers) when you eat it. It is partnered with vinegar or salt. It is very yummy! Let me browse a pick... Here! Enjoy!: (Don't judge the taste by the looks):

Nutrition & Supplementation / Soy Milk!!!

I am Lactose Intolerance and I get diarrhea 2-3 hours after drinking milk. Is Soy Milk a good substitute for a post work-out drink? I can't afford, for now, protein shake(whey protein) but I'm currently saving up for it.

Eat some balut dude! Balut=shit tons of protein!

hey man! Are you from the Philippines?! Hahaha?! Really? I thought because balut came earlier from an egg , with yolks and egg whites,(duh...) which has 6 grams of protein, the balut also just have 6 grams of protein?... Conservation of mass and shit. Hahahaha I don't know. That's only my theory ahahhaha.

I always eat an omelet sandwich an hour before my work-out. What is the best meal before a work-out? I'll try your advice, thank you! Oh, okay i'll try to drink coffee and state what it did for me tomorrow. thanks!

omelet should be good actually.. i usually don't eat too much before training, if i do it's hours before, such a a turkey and cheese sandwich, cheeseburger etc, egg sandwich etc.. if training is important, i usually eat big the day BEFORE.. so if i'm planning some big training on monday, i'll eat real big on sunday, and eat lighter on monday to keep me nice and alert.. if training is very important i'll take coffee + protein + milk (protein shake) an hour or so before training.

so, smaller meals, higher protein content is better before workouts.. doesn't matter as much 4+ hours out, could be higher carb etc.. but eating alot of fat/carb right before training can cause you to get drowsy.

peace man

Thanks for the information! I'm currently saving up for protein shakes (its expensive here.... and I want to cry cause I can't afford it...) Could I take coffee 10 minutes before training?

I frequently feel sleepy and tired even after doing the specified warm-up  because I need to study ( :-X ) that's why I didn't have enough sleep. What is better, drink a coffee (or other drinks that pump up an athlete) and risk having longer recovery period or push through with the training until you feel awake and risk having less results on that training? Or are there other ways to be more awake?

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Foam rolling

How should one feel after foam rolling? After I foam roll for 5 mins on the tight part of my quads, I felt tighter (on that part) and I needed to stretch more to release the tension. Is that natural? i felt intense pain on that area. Or is that not tightness at all? Is it a different kind of pain or injury?

What's the best? A bigger (diameter) foam roll or smaller? Um, how thick it should be?

If you look in your template, you will find that the sprints are 85% for weeks 3 and 4.  These are 6x100m sprints.  I understand if Adam told you differently, but if you follow what is written, that is what's there.   

I'm sorry I mixed my thoughts and my memories. I asked adam about the speed of the 2nd week sprints, and he said (not the exact words) that I should attain at a fairly high speeds (not max) and he did not specify any % speed. (Sorry, I just made up those numbers (70-80%) as to what adam said as fairly high speeds. I estimated those numbers from the next weeks sprinting speed which is 85%). And I forgot that the 2nd weeks sprints were only 6x80m. I apologize for my mistake. And maybe that second week sprint is an exception to the rule of, Max speed should be attained when the distance to cover is less than a 100m. And those sprints are most likely made just to prepare for the next weeks' sprints.

8x100 sprints are a TERRIBLE way to produce any kind of physiological quality that you'd want as a sprinter. Terrible.

Well I don't know. But that 8x 100m sprint is a light hill incline about a pace above jog. Described as 70% of sprints speed. I think it's a form of recovery session. Sorry, I didn't explain it earlier.

The sprints in week 2 of intermediate explosive are 8x80m at 100%
Week 3 is 8x100m uphill with no % of speed listed.
Week 4 is 10x100m with no % of speed listed. 

I emailed Adam regarding the week 2 sprints and that email is below.  I asked for clarification about weeks 3 and on but was not given a response in terms of the sprint % that you are supposed to use.  I fail to see where it is "described as 70% of sprints speed."  This is not described in the Vertfreak template, but perhaps you received it from another source.

 Me:   3) In the "Intermediate explosive" program you have listed 8x80 uphill sprints before a workout essentially based on squatting and stiff leg deadlifts.  I see no % max listed on the uphill sprints so does that mean you should sprint at full speed?  Wouldn't sprinting 80 meters uphill 8 times at full speed wear you out before squatting?

Adam:  Anything under 100m will be at 100%, with near full recovery between sprints.  Proper recovery, and your squat should be fine. 




Ahh, sorry for that. I'm following the beginner's program. Don't know about that. I know for 100m's, I asked Adam, it's around 70-80% of speed. But for below 100m it should be at max.

Strong post, raptor. Strong post.

SMR stands for self-myofascial release. Foam rolling (or PVC rolling) is one way to try to do it.

From what I'm getting, all the important people have something negative to say about every single product.

If Adarq had a product I'd just buy that and be done with it.

I need the most solid, updated product to buy for my coming summer regimen. Classify me as a beginner with a lot of heart.

Right now, Jump Manual is the most logical choice for me based on all the reviews I'm getting. I have yet to see any tangible results for VF, but the same goes for Jump Manual. Flying in Four I hear had some fast results.

So which will it be?

(Yeah I know, IRC w/ Adarq >>> all of these shits, but I want at least a program or book to read up on while Adarq's off walking his dog on Sundays)

(No VJB please. Let's not open a can of worms, I know it's the bomb and all, but if it would be those 3 up there, which one?)

My friend,

I have copies of all of these programs.  What I would recommend is that you ask Lance or Andrew to program your training for specifically tailored training.  This is more effective than what amounts to a static template.  If you think you are going to get some "secret" information from any of these programs you are kidding yourself.  One on one coaching will always be more valuable.  Also, if you go with jump manual or vertfreak or flying in four you will have problems that you will not experience here.  What problems you may ask?  Let me break it down for you.

Jump Manual - Recommends to leg press to start.  After spending time talking with Jacob he will switch you over to the squat, but seriously leg press sucks by itself if not coupled with squats.

Vertfreak - 8x100m sprints at the beginning of each workout.  Grammatical errors.  0 customer support.

Flying in four - Static template, Alex Maroko was somehow invovled in this as well.  Perhaps you seek to get the sweet 25" vert that Alex M. has?  Dude is touching rim like no other.

If you are going to buy one of these programs I would go with Jump Manual and stick in close contact with Jacob.  A static template, however, is probably not going to be ideal.  I promise you, that is what you will get.  You can believe me or not, but I went through this whole process.  I couldn't touch the rim when I started.  After lots of smart training I am now able to dunk.  However, hard training will not save you by itself.  I spent many months plateaued using a template.  You can either plateau out on this template based system after a couple months or you can find a way to get coaching from an expert.

I don't know about you but those Sprints are fun! In my experience, Adam quickly answers my queries in twitter, facebook and even in mails. Maybe you just didn't got him in the right time tha'ts why he didn't reply.

Well Flying in Four is a potential scam as reviewed by Jack Woodrup. I respect Jack's reviews. I see it as unbiased, maybe except with his own product. ;D

PVC pipe will work but be CAREFUL with it. Don't do anything that causes you genuine pain. I've made that mistake and it's just dumb. If something really hurts, find a way to work around it or to lessen the pressure.

Serious pain during SMR usually backfires.

Thanks! But what is SMR? ;D


Probably Sado-Masochistic Reaction.

hahahhaha
