KATY HS Tigers and VertiMax training

If you want to fully develop your vertical jump potential you have to maximizeexplosive leg power and arm swing velocity through the full range of the upward explosive jumping movement. VertiMax is the only system in the world that has been designed to fully develop all muscles associated with maximizing velocity at lift-off to develop full vertical jump potential. VertiMax is the most advanced vertical jump training system used by the majority of NFL, NBA and MLB teams. Whether your sport is: www.vertimax.com www.vertimax.com www.vertimax.com www.vertimax.com or www.vertimax.com The www.vertimax.com V8 system is the most advanced system developed to allow athletes to engage in effective light-load, high speed training that optimally promotes rapid force production to vertical jump performance. The increased power development efficiency by simultaneously training all of the muscles associated with vertical jump performance is ignored by every resistive jump training methodology except one -- VertiMax. Most obvious is the fact that most coaches and athletes forget that the arm swing velocity at lift off accounts for 10 to 13 percent of vertical jump performance. Unfortunately most athletes never conduct a single training exercise to increase arm swing velocity to add to vertical jump performance. VertiMax is the only system in the world that is designed to improve explosive leg power and arm swing velocity by simultaneously loading the legs and arm swing when vertical jump ...

Lifetime Portable Basketball Goals Models 71522, 71523, and 71524

These portable basketball hoop models can provide shoppers headaches if the product listing is not very thorough. On the surface, they all appear the same: 54-inch backboard, portable base, 3.5-inch round pole. But, there are several factors that make these products quite different from each other. This article will elaborate on some of these differences.

54-inch Backboard

All of these products feature the largest backboard size available on Lifetime portable basketball hoops. The 54-inch mark makes these backboards just 18 inches short of a regulation width. So any difference between these systems is going to be important in making your purchasing decision. For the 71523 and the 71524, the backboard is made of polycarbonate. On the 71522, the backboard is made of acrylic. For most players, the difference in playability between acrylic and polycarbonate is fairly minimal. What is reported by customers and manufacturers of basketball systems is that acrylic provides a superior rebound when the ball hits the backboard. For most beginning to intermediate level players, this difference will be almost unnoticeable. For advanced players, they will likely begin to notice that a polycarbonate backboard material throws off their bank shots a bit. On the other hand, polycarbonate is used because it is considered to be about 30 times stronger than acrylic, thus increasing the life of your system. It would not be expected that your backboard will break over night with an acrylic material, but that polycarbonate will last longer given 2 comparably aged and used systems.

Backboard Frame

On these 3 portable basketball hoops, the thickness of the frame is a major difference. For the 71522 and the 71523, the steel frame on the backboard measures 1.5 inches wide. On the 71524, the frame measures only 1 inch wide. On portable basketball hoops, such as these, the rebound is improved greatly with a thicker frame. So in terms of rebound, the 71522 (with its acrylic backboard and 1.5 inch frame) will have the best rebound and the 71524 (with its polycarbonate backboard and 1 inch frame) will have the worst rebound. Comparing these two factors, the backboard material and the thickness of the frame, the thickness of the frame plays a bigger role in improving rebound.

Pricing

With all these differences explained, you might expect the 71522 to be the most expensive; however, this is not the case. On most shopping sites, the 71523 is more expensive than the 71522 and the 71524 is the cheapest. The main reason for this difference is the differences in cost of production. Polycarbonate often has more expensive production materials and procedures than acrylic. As mentioned above, there are several differences in quality, some of which are a pick-your-own poison. This means that while the 71522 is cheaper than the 71523, the acrylic backboard of the 71522 will likely not last as long as the polycarbonate backboard on the 71523. On the 71523, we would expect to not see as good of a rebound as the 71522, but you will be spending more for the 71523.

Hopefully this description of the differences in these 3 systems has not tripped you up. Have fun shopping.

Space Colonies, Outposts, Fuel Stops and Solar System Exploration

!±8± Space Colonies, Outposts, Fuel Stops and Solar System Exploration

We are told by NASA and the Bush Administration that we are setting our sites on manned space missions to the moon and mars and to eventually set up human colonies on each. I agree as you probably do that this is indeed a good start. Also having such colonies set up allows for Space Exploration pit stops for missions far beyond in our own solar system and elsewhere as well.

They figure we will have a human colony on Mars by 2030 or so and the leap-frog concept makes sense indeed, but also realize that private enterprise can get us there a lot sooner than NASA. You have to have a good jumping off point and outposts to assist in the game, but personally I am for sooner rather than later and more rather than less. And this is not just about budgets either, as it is about attitude and strength of character. It is more about vision than only money. Throwing money at the problem is government's theory.

I say lets change attitude and strap a crap load of rockets on a space shuttle and have it rendezvous with another set of rockets, strap them on and let them do a one-way mission and set up camp now, as in this year. Land the whole friggin thing there dig a hole set up the colony now. Load the space shuttle for bear with all sorts of expandable SpaceHab type systems and pods attached for cargo to live for 10-years until the rest of the space folks figure out what they are doing, get their act together and wish to come join in the fun. Meanwhile have those Mars Colony people talk and communicate with us here. Now that is the PR needed to ignite the imagination.

We need to stop wimp'ing around. I just hate weakness, especially considering the Apollo risks and rewards as an example of what can be done. What do you think about a Mars Colony and the need for Pit Stops, re-fueling stations and the leap-frog concept in general? Do, consider this in 2006.

In-Ground Basketball Hoops and Goals

!±8± In-Ground Basketball Hoops and Goals

Basketball has many benefits in and of itself. It is a great form of exercise, relieves stress, lets off steam, helps kids with coordination, and can bring family and friends together for a time of friendly competition. With all these benefits, wouldn't it be great to have your own basketball goal at home? There are many choices available when it comes to home basketball systems. One of the most popular home basketball systems is the in-ground basketball goal.

In-ground basketball goals are those that are put into the ground for a permanent home basketball goal. If you are pressed for space, you can install your in-ground goal next to your driveway. This will allow you to use your driveway as your court. Make sure it is far enough away so that cars can pull in safely, but close enough to use the driveway as your court.

If you have more space that you can dedicate to your basketball goal, you can install your in-ground goal in the background as part of a concrete area you can use as your court. This will allow you to play in an area that is just for basketball. Once you choose where your goal will go, you can begin the installation.

Installing an in-ground system can be done professionally, or you can do it yourself. If you are doing it yourself, you will want to lay out everything that came with your in-ground goal so you can have easy access to each part as needed. After that, you can move forward with digging the hole.

The depth of the hole will depend on what type and size of system you have. Follow the directions for depth and width very carefully. The directions will also let you know how much cement you will need to set the pole in place. The average is 6-8 bags of concrete. You have to make sure the pole is placed at the correct depth to have the right height of 10' from the ground to the rim.

During the drying process, it is important to check your pole several times to make sure it is still level. Your pole should be flush with the playing surface. The concrete will take up to four hours to dry. Throughout the process be sure to tap the top of the concrete frequently to get rid of any air pockets. It is important to wait until it is completely dry before you finish the installation process.

Once your in-ground goal is installed, you have it for life. You have a permanent area for you, your kids, and friends to get together and have fun. In-ground systems can withstand all kinds of weather and, when installed properly, will be rust-resistant. In-ground systems are more durable and stable than portable systems.

In-ground basketball hoops are a great way to give your family a permanent place to play and learn the game of basketball. Your kids will love having friends over to shoot hoops. Friendly family competitions will give you family memories to last a lifetime.
