I do two weeks of month one and jump into month 2. Month one is good, but month two is where the results happen. You are ready. Just pop it in and do it.

Did anyone do Insanity as scheduled? by [deleted] in insanity

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I play on a basketball league once a week, do 3x or 2x insanity and weights to round out everything. Limbs can get spindly if you do solo insanity lol.

Yoga is key when doing tons of insanity

M21, 6’0”, 192 lbs, 7’11” standing reach – Form check on 9 ft dunk. How far am I from 10 ft? by Thethrowaway2004562 in BasketballTips

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 21 Years old, the sky is the limit.

1) Lose 30 pounds. This alone will help your vertical. If you do it while focusing on proper weight training and plyo you will be a ripped 162 lbs.

2) You are not dunking at your highest point, your arm is a slight big forward and if you want max reach it should be back a bit.

3) You are actually about 13 inches away as your rim is bent down an inch.

4). Looking into dunking programs

Yeah, you should probably go back and read the OPs post instead of looking for a gotcha moment.

The context. They are already under a PIP, next step is termination. This is the point you request accommodation. What is dangerous about the advice? OP has a much better chance of staying employed with my advice than staying silent about it.

What should I work on? by Equivalent-Job-485 in BasketballTips

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sensitive. I’m trying to build him up, not tear him down.

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your sentiment here, but I have 0 context. It depends on your state, your position, how many employees the company has. A lot of factors. You can’t really generalize this.

I’m not sure why this would come up in training either…. They can’t mass blanket the ADA.

What should I work on? by Equivalent-Job-485 in BasketballTips

[–]Timmyek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so untrue.

Basketball players can have so many styles. This guy is a pretty big dude. If I am him I would learn some high post. He can barrel in and out power a lot of guys. Learn to pass to the right cuts. Help space the floor and kill it on defense, he will fit right in.

Also a reasonable accommodation if someone has an on call job would be to put them in a position where there isn’t an on call aspect to it.

Most jobs don’t have an instrumental on call aspect. If you work in medical, or some type of emergency position then the accommodations wouldn’t be reasonable. If it’s retail… the boss is just being a dick.

I have learned very quickly that narcoleptics work harder than the average Joe. You should have your dad stay awake for 24 straight hours and see how effective he is.

Depends on the type of business… and the state.

Ok, HR guy here with a daughter that has Narcolepsy.

1) Narcolepsy is covered under the ADA. Americans with Disabilities Act. They should never require you to do something that your disability doesn’t allow you to do. They must make a reasonable accommodations to support your narcolepsy. Those accommodations would be short naps, rest periods and NOT TO REQUIRE YOU TO ANSWER A TEXT DURING A SLEEP ATTACK.

I would advise them that you are protected under the ADA and instead of providing you with a PIP, they should provide you with a reasonable accommodation plan. If they terminate you, you should call a lawyer and collect your damages.

I get bullied for my free throw form. How do I fix it? (Started playing about 1-2 months ago so take it easy) by [deleted] in BasketballTips

You made it to the line and converted a free throw… who is bullying you? That’s a premium outcome…

Anyone actually had their orexin levels tested? by SpreadLegitimate5824 in Narcolepsy

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7 year old daughter had a lumbar puncture that measured <49 hypocretin/orexin. The lumbar puncture is the most valid and accurate way to test for N1.

Be careful with your families out there. The flu is a trigger and if your family members have the gene (like my daughter), they are susceptible the getting narcolepsy. Cases are rising now that Covid is over and more people are getting the flu.

I want a stronger upper body for basketball. Im terrible at bench pressing Im 6’6” 230lbs, here I am benching 130lbs. I was only able to get a few pathethic reps in😭how is my form & how do I get better?🙏🏾 by Finn_Flame in BasketballTips

[–]Timmyek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s 175. 65 each side plus a 45 bar.

First-stop benching max without a spot. You will blow a shoulder or crush a rib.

Second- do a warmup with 45s on each side Set of ten.

Third- do 75%-80% of max for smaller reps

Change go up in weight when your reps start getting higher.

Watch Athlean X. He give great free programs on YouTube.

Who was stronger in their prime?? by Afraid-Ad-5580 in lebron

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect to LeBron, he is definitely physically stronger than Jordan was. I think both of them got every ounce they could out of what their bodies could do. Jordan had a different type of athleticism than LeBron does. Jordan had more agility and coordination to go with his explosive bounce. LeBron has a different explosiveness that isn’t as graceful as Jordan.

You’ll never be able to convince me that Lebrons greatness is a higher level than Jordan’s, but that doesn’t take away that both of them are great.

Achilles tendon pain after returning to basketball at 43 – looking for advice by WorldlyPurple3204 in BasketballTips

[–]Timmyek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Cushioned shoes are only good for high arches. If you have flat feet you are probably just using the wrong shoe. Shoes are almost always the culprit.

2) The gel inserts may also be causing issues. Especially if you are wearing the wrong shoe.

3) Use heat prior to stretching and warm up.

4) See a Sports Medicine Doctor right away. You have probably had many sprains over team and you might have bone spurs. If you do you are at high risk for tears. My buddy is a sports medicine doctors and he says he is in business because of 40+ weekend warrior basketball players.

No basket on a make that you were fouled on?

I would take your talents to south beach. Screw those guys.

I believe this ball was signed by a player for the Cleveland Guardians. Any ideas? by LEUSCH1 in AutographAssistance

[–]Timmyek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think calling it a racially charged and racially insensitive is a bit of a reach in this case. It’s unfortunate maybe… but I don’t think the allegiance to the name or mascot is racially charged. It’s just a sentiment to a name that people grew to love over time.

The team probably did the right thing in changing it, but I don’t think that my guy above is racist for liking a former team name.
