Strength Training Stuff, My Pneumonia, And Other News…

The Avengers - Hulk by HawlendRion

I’m getting back in the saddle here slowly, but surely. Just battling a case of pneumonia, but all is good. I’m Hulk smashing that right out of my lungs! Speaking of Hulk smash I got to see The Avengers which was absolutely filled with mind blowing special effects and super cool heroes and not those cheesy ass Twilight vampires that sparkle in sunlight. No, this was balls out 2 hours and 23 minutes of fist pumping action that would get you in the mood to throw around some weight.

I know the title of this post probably got your attention which is why I am going to get into the details of what all is involved in having some major “UPs” when it comes to your vertical jump. I am always amazed at how fixated young basketball players are on increasing their vertical jump.

Things like going above 5 lbs. will turn a lady into the She-Hulk, although I would argue the She-Hulk is hot to trot. I mean just look at the picture above! Ok, maybe She-Hulk was a bad example, but perhaps her male counterpart would’ve been the better comparison.
