excersise tips

well around your knees....ride a bike for 2 weeks and you will see.

thats good in some ways, but as you build up muscle in your knees you will lose some speed

Muscles on your knees? You mean ligaments? You can't build ligaments.

And as for building muscle, it's a myth that you'll become slower. Look at some of the world's fastest people. Sprinters are muscular and they have huge legs.

I think maybe Matt was referring to the muscles slightly above the knees....

yeah, if you extend your leg you'll see that it's still a part of your thigh, but when you sit down it looks like your knee has bulked up

Interesting... I never noticed or heard of that before.

"suicide" practice is a good way to improve ur ...sudden stops..
ie, dribble n stop...

we call it suicide.. maybe u call the practice sth else

its like
run one a quarter of the court.. then back..
then run to the center then back..
then 3 quarters .. then full court..n back..
something like that..
improve ur speed... n improve ur calf.. i guess..

LOL!!!
We also call it suicide!!
Where art thou from???

They call it suicides here too. I think it's a well known sprinting term

im positive they call it suicides everywhere

and when u do em take a ball with ya

You will get more out of it and get there faster if you (Lift less weight more often) than (Lift ALOT of weight just a little bit)

Maybe you've gotten good results from that, but everything I've heard says you need to overload your muscles as far as weights go (not ridiculous amounts but decent amounts). If you can do something like 3 sets of 30 bicep curls a day 3 days a week (of course mixed in with other things but I'm making an example) + eating right, I garuntee you will see results.

Hey, I'm deciding on whether I should play soccer so that I can get fit for BBall... wat do u guys think? If I did play, i'd prob play in the midfiled... I didnt choose to play rugby cause id get uber snapped!

yeh not a bad idea but soccer can get pretty rough aswell u get some hack of a player comes in a chops the fuck outta ya but then again ur gonna get that in any sport

Well.. i have played before obviously, havent played in three years so prob make Div 2 or Div 3 team for school. It will be fun since the Div 3 team came second in their comp last year and all the guys were just having fun...

Div 2 should be a bit more serious with an actual team.. i guess both could be good. Cause I really aint much of a runner, the soccer ball will be my inspirtation to run!
