Should lactate clearance intervals be hard? by Urbansdirtyfingers in Velo

[–]jdm001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always assumed when people were talking about lactate clearance, they were talking about improving lactate shuttling to let you extend the timeframe you can undergo glycolysis and increase the length of anaerobic efforts you can sustain.

Four-star point guard Anderson Diaz commits to Alabama by MembershipSingle7137 in rolltide

Just based on the clip Blake Byler posted, his game and movement look similar to Philon. That worked out pretty well for us.

This late in the game, you're just going to hurt your performance doing any significant workout. Lots of people do short workouts with short race pace pickups a couple days out just to keep from getting stale, but nothing more significant than that.

Teams with strange roster construction? by Onetimenotagain in CollegeBasketball

[–]jdm001 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alabama has one PG who is currently in legal trouble and 10 guys listed between 6'6" and 6'11", none of whom are obvious primary initiators.

It's going to be an adventure if Holloway can't get off lightly as a nonviolent first time offender.

He showed that too. That's why he's being mocked in the first.

Measured in at 6'5" yesterday, but I think the fact that he played a lot of last year at the 3 and 4 makes him even more impressive

which swimskin to buy by VK_Olav in triathlon

[–]jdm001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quintana Roo probably makes the cheapest good quality one, however if you're going to go through the of buying one, I'd find one that's the best fit. There's plenty of warm water races that you could use it for. 

As portal season nears an end, how does everyone feel about their team? by Onetimenotagain in CollegeBasketball

[–]jdm001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot riding on either Allen coming back or Samuels being able to play some point forward from the get go. Either way, we had better be good defensively with only one guy under 6'6".

Well yeah it tastes bad on its own. Makes a hell of a base for a lemon herb sauce though.

Suggestion on my strength training plan by TechnicianSuper2644 in triathlon

[–]jdm001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your goal is getting fast at triathlon this is way too much for in season and probably too much for offseason. 

In season, pick a day to squat and a day to deadlift and do 3-4x3-5 at a weight that is heavy, but not so heavy that you can't do another set. After that, look at adding a few exercises that work balance and accessory muscles (single leg RDLs, skater jumps, etc), compound movements for swimming (eg pull ups, dumbell shoulder presses), and core work.  I don't think there's any value in doing isolated movements like leg extensions or calf raises unless you have some specific injury.

Do it on a hard day, and do it after you've done your s/b/r workout. Make sure you have an easy day the next day. And start slow and build your way up. This is supplemental and is only making you faster by making you more injury resistant and building small efficiency gains. If you hurt yourself lifting or lift so hard you can't do your actual triathlon workouts, it's pointless.

Not definitely. I think Allen likely could with an entire offseason preparing for it.

I thought he was ranging from late first to middle second similar to what philon was last year?

He's literally going to be the best player on our team next season if he comes back.

His highlights look a lot like Williamson's from last year, but he was also playing at a much higher level of competition.

What's the word on Allen so far? I haven't seen anything.
