with a dead end job and simple life

well, just make sure you're also hellbent on improving some kind of skill/knowledge that will get you a better job/career.. nothing worse than taking all of that anger/aggression and focusing it entirely on training.. training most likely isn't going to be our future.. sure it's one of the best tools to help with our situations, but nothing is more important than knowledge.. knowledge will take us further than any form of training/exercise will.. i mean you can even combine training with a quest for knowledge on everything related to anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, etc... then look to get into s&c coaching etcetc... i mean i'd advise focusing on TECH (big money jobs as you progress, relaxed atmosphere, excellent benefits etc), but obviously most people aren't going to want to become programmers/administrators etc.

+1 Def agree with that one, training is like a tool as well like a hobby but not as a future.
Programming all the way  :headbang: as well as engineering, science and other cool stuff.
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up

right now im just working on a crazy vert and general athleticism. my goal right now is a really really good vert. id like to go out for a dunk contest like you did eventually.

cool man


Quote
in the back of my mind i sometimes think back to college ball or community college not sure how feasible. maybe if my girlfriend got a significantly higher paying job and i could quit mine. not sure what my eligibility situation is. a lot of stuff would have to fall into place for that happen and im not going to force it but not completely out of the question yet. i do miss competitive ball. pick up or rec league aint the same.

damn.. you and ur girl must be pretty close for that to even be considered an option (quit job). :F



Quote
i also been thinking about getting into boxing. i don't really have a good body type for it so i'd just do it for fun and cardio for my dunking.

as a workout itself, boxing training is ridiculously fun/effective.. if i had a real gym nearby i'd be there without hesitation.. unfortunately most boxing gyms now are 'globo gyms' with crazy fees/yearly contracts.. i miss warriors -> they turned the heat on inside the gym, shit was ridiculous.. like working out in an oven, drenched beyond belief.. tons of people all working crazy hard.



Quote
i probably should rephrase dead end because i know there are MUCH worse people out there. i work for a health insurance company and make about 14 an hour and it is stable. there may be some better jobs within the company but i dont know what they are or how to get there. i have a few bills/expenses though that perhaps make it feel like i'm worse off then i am.

ah...



Quote
life is always a balance of longshots vs safe options. passion vs reliable. fun vs smart etc etc. ive decided since i'm only young once im going to work on my athletic goals for maybe a couple years as my main thing other then work. i feel like i could regret not seeing what i'm capable of later. after a while of giving it that 100% i can move on and do it more casually. that said i wouldn't mind learning something like programming on my own. i'm a very driven person and would like to show off what i'm capable of.

well, just make sure you are consistent and really track your numbers, fatigue, soreness, bodyweight, etc, so you can get a better picture of how you're progressing.


Quote
i really dont know what my situation will be in a few years. i might try to get an RN license in a few if i dont come up with anything better. they work for the insurance company i work for and just review cases over the internet and make like 22/an hour something like that. theres also hospitals of course and there's always a demand for them.



Quote
what're you hoping to do? i remember you had been a s&c coach and had wound up doing some labor job and were trying to brush up on your coding. whats up with that?

i'm just trying to progress in 'tech', programming/unix administration etc, until im making insane money.. hopefully in 2 years ill be making 6figs per year, that''s the plan.

so far my plan has worked.. took that 1 year to get re-focused with programming and find some tech jobs.

BW = 172
SORENESS = right hamstring
ACHES/INJURIES = right knee
FATIGUE = low


any time i stretch my hamstrings, my right knee gets dorked up.. i have to keep stretching it and loosen up whatever the hell is jacked up inside of there.


SESSION:

3 MILE JOG MIXED WITH SINGLE LEG JUMPS/POWER SKIPS
- this stuff feels so good.. really focusing on flicking my ankles on the jumps/skips
- i basically just jog and then randomly accel into a jump
- i did plenty of jumps each leg, getting up higher off left than right

S1: SSBAR CRAZY-DEEP SQUAT (elbows resting on knees): 75 x 5, 125 x 5, 145 x 5, 165 x 5
S1: SINGLE ARM DB OVERHEAD PRESS: 40 lb @ (R=20, L=12), (R=21,L=7)
S1: SINGLE ARM DB ROW: 40 lb @ warmup

S1: SINGLE ARM DB BENCH PRESS: 50 lb @ (R=18, L=12), (R=18, L=12)
S2: SSBAR CALVE RAISE: 125 lb @ 1 x 20



man i love jogging with jumps mixed in.. this is possibly the greatest revelation i've ever had.. heh

im probably going to spend 1 month doing this stuff before i hit up a basketball court..

i'd love to be able to hit ~24" or so off a few steps with single leg RVJ while jogging.. i think im like ~18" or so right now, off my left leg.



on a side note, my new NZWR's are INSANE.. i got the same ones as zach/pelham.. they feel better than any other waffle racers i've had.. going to buy me two more pairs soon :D

About the color scheme: The background, the one on the sides should be darker than the main part, because it takes focus away from the main part, and everything si too "light", thus making stuff hard to follow. Also, that thing on the left, that green is just horrible, my eyes hurt. :))

It looks a bit better now, but still, if you can make the background, sides and upper a darker gray. Def improved though. Keep it up.

coo thnx. btw i really appreciate the feedback, i have no problem with the 'cold hard truth' ;)

i plan on having multiple themes where you can just click a little pulldown to select which theme you want.. that way you can have the dark gray background one etc if you want :F

BW = 174
SORENESS = low back, hamstring tendons, groin
ACHES/INJURIES = left toe a little
FATIGUE = moderate


jump-jogging > *


SESSION: drenched

~3 mile jump-jogging run:
 - seemed to get up a little better off each leg.. left especially
 - this stuff kills my HR.. mixing in SLRVJ's while jogging increases fatigue quite a bit
 - low back was kind of painful, slrvj's seem to be bugging my back, but that will adapt
 - pretty tired at the end of the jumpjog.

S1: neutral grip pullups: BW @ 8, 8, 8
S1: CRAZY-DEEP SSBAR SQUAT: 75 @ 10, 125 @ 10, 145 @ 10, 165 @ 5, 185 @ 5
S1: single arm DB bench press: 40 lb @ W, 50 lb @ W, 60 lb @ (R=10,L=7), (R=8,L=5)
S1: SSBAR CALVE RAISES: 75 @ 20, 125 @ 20, 145 @ 20, 165 @ 20, 185 @ 10

single arm DB curl: 30 lb @ (R=12,L=13), (R=12,L=14)

good workout..

back is real sore though, and groin is sore.. i hate when groin is sore, always worries me..

all in all, i feel wrecked.

happy about my numbers after those runs.. the jumpjog really fatigues me, so my lifting numbers are a good sign imo.

pC

im on a surprise vacation..


10/09/2012

BW = not sure in morning, at night though, 180.. HEH
SORENESS = quads a bit, hips a little, low back slightly
ACHES/INJURIES = left big toe slightly (old injury resurface a little), hips a little, low back a little
FATIGUE = moderate

i feel decent though.. just small little aches/soreness

SESSION: light
- 5 sets of DB rear fly, DB front raise, DB lat raise.. all types of reps on these, shoulders destroyed.. nice pump in traps.
- some hamstring/core/glute activation stuff

done



i'm so stuffed..

tomorrow ill prolly jumpjog, then do a circuit of single arm db overhead press, deep ssbar squat, single arm db row, ssbar calve raise.. then finish with bicep stuff and maybe a set of db bench

peace!@$

Around where would you say your BF% is at right now?

And, at what point are you going to start focusing on diet to get leaner again?
Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

That's it , you're over 30 and getting fat , awesome!!! Get on my level bro!  :P

No kidding though , how is your body composition? You were at 140lbs <10% when you stopped training , what happened then? I would guess you went to like 160 - 12%? And now?
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

yo

probably at like ~15% or so right now.. i don't even care though because these next 3-6 months are all about putting on muscle, then i'll re-evaluate.

when i re-evaluate, i'll decide if i want to lean up, which i imagine i will.... so in 3-6 months we'll see..

the goal right now though is to just put on as much muscle as humanly possible.

pc!

yoyo!!

ya man 20 rep squats is a miracle worker.. it just seems to fix everything hah.. need muscle? 20 rep.. need strength? 20 rep.. need bounce? 20 rep.

;f

training goal right now is to put on lots of muscle, get back in shape, and do some jumping on the side..

i've never had lots of muscle so, figured i'd try and achieve that this time around.

pC!

148/~8% or so when i stopped... well, i worked at this sh*thole warehouse and i didn't have enough money to eat properly, so, i stopped working there around 155 lb or so... so i didn't gain much weight while working there, and i lost muscle.

im 177 - ~14-15% right now.. body fat % is just a guess, but probably accurate.. i can see my abs lightly when im not 'soft' from too much milk.




i want to hit 200 within say, 3-6 months.. :F

i figure the only way to get back into jumping this time around, is to put on lots of lean muscle.. i don't really want to 'push my cns' this time around.. i'd rather get yolked, which will take some temporary fat gain but then i'd just cut it later on.

not worrying one bit about fat gain will allow me to put on some serious mass in these next few months..

plus im not broke anymore so i can just eat really good food, high in protein, great quality, no joke.. really helps.

when i was at my part-time warehouse job, i ate like CRAP and had to skip meals.. it was really bad.

:D


peace everyone!
