150lbs suck dude, everyone thinks your skinny and can't do shit...i know from experience

every1 'thinking' that you cant do shit, makes it all the better when u actually can do shit... i kno from experience xD

Nice dunks man. I think your enjoyng yourself more this time around compared to when you were real serious about vert. Your also going to prove that training the aerobic energy system (distance running) is not 'negative' on vert training. Keep that shit up mang! Got to see your lifting again aswell.

  - FTW!!!!!!

I love that home gym setup you got. Nice.

And nice jumps. Could be cool if you could dunk of the run.

Some nice power dunks! The one attempt without the lob was pretty close also it seemed. Did you ever get one of those? Good stuff!

Sick dunks man! really powerful.

Well that depends on how you classify distance running, adarq isn't really doing distance running. But intense distance running, like 3k plus training will definitely not be positive for your vert, it will be pretty much negative

not sure, i mean, as long as you get in the sprint/squat/jump work, i don't see it effecting too much.. i'm rotating every other day, so i get equal amounts of stimulus for both energy systems/muscle groups:

Day 1: power/speed/lactic acid/strength
Day 2: jumps/distance work

i've been running more than 3k rip, i hit 7 miles straight the other day and 4.5mile straight before that.. my last dunk session (one of my best as of recent) came 2 days after 4.5mile run, felt perfect.

i think someone like el gourrouj (sp?) could have some pretty impressive jumping numbers even though he is a 1 mile record holder.. he has CRAZY bounce down a trick, he's super lean, and to be able to run those numbers you have to be very strong.. all he would have to do is squat heavy + jump + sprint in conjunction with his other training, and he'd make some impressive gains.. if you look at soccer players, they can run 11km in a game.. they do tons of running in practices etc.. but they ALSO mix in sprints.. you have guys playing soccer who have insane '5k' test times, while still running 4.4 40's.. they don't jump too great because jumping isn't something they practice too often, maximally.. but point is, they have good development on multiple energy systems.

i definitely think i'll jump even higher once i get back in insane distance shape.. i'll just be so much stronger..

if i run mid-foot/forefoot on jogging/running, then yes i'll have major problems with vert.. i've realized that.. i have to keep my calfs fresh by heel->toe'n it or i don't have any pop in my jumps.. mental fatigue also just feeling that soreness.. but my quads are being taxed major in distance running, and so far, my squat actually got stronger, because, distance running is something i'm natural at, and by neglecting it, i've definitely become 'weaker'.

True but even the 100m dash as an endurance aspect. After ~60-80m. And if darq wants to race the mile (1.6k) that would still classify as distance running, im just trying to say that regardless it still uses different fibre type/energy system for that instead of vert, and darq will still be getting up, just like that dunk vid after running 6+ miles.

yup.. the point is, most everyone does one or the other.. people who run distance become obsessed with running, so it's basically an everyday training for them.. if i alternate it with sprint/power/strength work, i should be fine, no matter how good i get at distance running.. most of the adaptations for me that will come of distance is getting my lactate threshold and vo2max back up.. my heart seems like the #1 issue as of right now, once my stroke volume is way back up, and my HR is way lower, i'll be feeling great.. right now i'm having an inability to maintain homeostasis after like 3-4 miles, mostly do to vo2max being way lower than long ago, it seems.

400m guys gets in distance work, lactic acid system work, and speed work.. that's pretty much the route i'm talking, just with a bit more distance on my long runs.

peace!

thanks man & ya i love that gym setup.. that ball is hard to dunk off the run because it's overinflated.. if i had brought out my other ball which is normal inflated, i woulda landed one in that session.. i'll try and not forget to bring it in my car just in case i wanna throw some down off the dribble.. i've got to practice that anyway so

peace man

Cool. Looking forward to that then.
