Am I wrong in assuming the soleus assists the quads in transferring energy towards the ground? If the soleus muscles, in the plant position that Myree displays above, would be weak, then the heels would collapse and there would be "no medium" through which the quads could "push through" towards the ground. The gastrocnemius muscles are in active insufficiency in that position, so only the soleus can do the job there.

Am I missing anything?

i think.... yea i think i'll add in seated calf raises. thats a good point.
especially considering i've never done them consistently in my life, and probably several other people here havent either, the returns will be relatively nice since the strength in them should increase quickly.

on second thought, maybe they get enough stimulation from practicing max effort jumps for years? i'll still do seated ones though

bro in blue almost saved you...... lol 

while looking through my old photo bucket for some pics of plants (for scoob), found these really old photos.. HEHEheEHEHe. This is towards the end of when I boxed, probably ~2007.. Obviously good lighting but, really lean. Definitely leaner than I am now, but, i'm getting closer to this. I'm probably around ~142-145 in these pics.



i'm going to throw a pic of kingfish in just for comparison:



holy shit.

i like this mma fighter like physique. been asked before if i'm fighter.

these pics only look good without clothes. put some shirt on and 90% of people think you are on crack.


bump for back pics. sad erectors need some volume work.

^^ back loox hyooge.

thanks. one good thing that worked well is building a solid strength base with weighted neutral chins. other forms of lat/back work does not feel as "solid" to use a lot of resistance.

You look broad like a barndoor. Damn. 

thanks. my favorite combo for really thickening the back is heavy sets of single arm machine or db rows, and high volumes of moderate-light cable rows. and chins. weighted chins.

nice, but confused about head shave.. so, if your head is shaved, they think you have hair loss due to drugs/ped's?

back zilla 2017.

just realized that i was already at 300lbx5 on the lat machine pulldown at this time last year from my last uploaded vid. i made ZERO progress on this because the machine is already topped out. lol i'm doing them wider now if that counts.
