That's a great achievement and I'm impressed, but I don't think basketballers are "elite athletes".

Skillful, yes, fit, yes, talented, yes. Elite athletes, no.

I never said "basketballers are not athletes"; I said they're not elite athletes.

Oh, maybe i read wrong... sorry i am very drunk.

no excuses Mario

Play like a Champ

Back on topic: I've never understood why people need workout tapes and the like to tell them what do to.

How hard is it to do pushups and crunches in your lounge without some boof-head "formulating" the work out for you?

because physical training requires stimulus to enhance your performance (mind-body)

Not sure, it's just a thought...

No, not really. Is that the text that tells us that we should not use our kama sutra skills with random strangers because that can give us bad karma?

Basketballers are elite athletes. If you want to measure a variety of athletic characteristics like quickness, speed, agility, power to weight ratio, vertical leap you will likely find that they are exceptional at all of them. Those are all pure, raw athletic and not specialized abilities. I would put them on the same level as gymnasts, sprinters, and wide-receivers/running backs.

I'd throw swimmers into that group. @ college I went through a week of training with my swimmer roommate (including pool workouts) and it was literally the toughest workout week I've ever done in my life.

we'd wake up at insane hours, and spend 3-4 hours a day doing nothing but grueling excersizes. by the end of that week i added about 300 meters to my Cooper test. (and that's just after a WEEK). amazing.

eh how can they not be elite.so they are happy with being just athletes. no need to be an elite second best will do.

ive been doing this spartan work out now for a while.
and to be fair its dame good.
its all made up with core and burn out exersises.
mainly because the body has diffrent energy systems,
fast twich and slow twich body fiburs.
once these systems have been used up it then makes the body
forced into new growth.

Umm...ok....

If you consider doing 10 hours of training in a day at 80-100% intensity, including sprints, vertical leaps, endurance training, reaction time, strength, flexibility and more, just a normal athlete then you're on crack. I can tell you from experience that some of the most athletic and well rounded people I have met have been basketball players.

And anyway, regardless of sport if you're in the higher percentage of athletes doing that sport, then you're an elite athlete.

Originally posted by couch-potato A lot of high quality exercise in this video using little to no equipment. I've been doing stuff like this for maybe a few months (fuck paying the gym) and I'm getting results! You'd be surprised how good of a workout this is... If you're like me, simply take ten minutes in your bedroom, put on some energetic music (Paul van Dyk at Nature One 2007 for myself) and get this shit done! 300 Spartan Workout Training. Home Version - The funniest home videos are here

I heard in my TKD classes that the "hindu pushups" and "******s" are the best abs exercises.
Also, good luck doing 30 pull ups from start.

You would have to be a handsome studly brawny hard bodied warrior who gets all the babes like myself to complete workout like that non stop.

Damn, he's versatile. A little bit of everything. Bodybuilding, parkour, breakdance, martial arts, tricking...

Don't get me wrong, I can do 4 sets of 12 full, chin over the bar, wide grip pull-ups... But doing 30 in one set? Very hard to do, even for people who regularly train.

i think it was just done to number it up with the other sets of 30.

If you do 3 sets of 10 with breaks in between you'll be alright.

Yeah, I suppose that works too... And it should be done on the beginning of a workout because it's probably the hardest exercise to do of those 10.

I think I'll do this Spartan workout (excluding that cable exercise and pull ups *) on free days when I'm not hitting the gym. Results should be interesting.

* How am I supposed to do those at home?

That's his LIFE, man. http://www.realitycombatfitness.com/ Wushu, jiu jitsu, krav maga, capoeira, muay thai, etc... He does so much in the community and local schools too.

have you seen a commercial for this thing that wraps around your doorframe? i kinda want to get it, but i dunno. that would be good for the pull-ups among other things.

and of course buy a cable for the other one... yeah it all involves money. fail.

Or I'll simply do it at gym.
