Article & Video Discussion / Re: The "glute guy" praises the quads & calfs - quadNation 4 lyfe.

although i am in support of quadnation/ quad mutant city, I would like to say that we should focus on all the muscles and keep them in balance because if you dont, it could lead to injury. for example, a good bench presser knows that having a strong upper back will help him bench, but the back will not actively left up the weight, it is just there to have a good base to push off of. a good quote  is when greg valentino (biggest arms in the world) said "give your bodyparts equal love, dont train your biceps more than your rear delts cause biceps are cool but rear delts arent."

Kelly Baggett said strengths tend to remain strengths and weaknesses tend to remain weaknesses. so doing nothing but attacking your weaknesses is not a good game plan. you want to put in some work to help iron out those weaknesses, while still actively working on your strengths. If you are quad dominant, like i am, it is probable you will always be quad dominant and so you should progress in that fashion while still improving on your weaker posterior chain as well.

wat you mean what's the beef?

i'm still surprised no one has pasted the kenny dobbs excerpts from the article.. finally a "TFB level dunker" is measured, and no one cares.. lmao


actually, i read this article today and noticed the kenny dobbs excerpt. I was really surprised when he said majority of his hops are being contributed by his quads and calves.... and that he has glute and hamstring development of a "fetal pig"... i mean, i have dedicated the past two and a half years of my life to increase the power output of my glutes and hamstrings and completely ignoring my calves and now i read this... i dont know what to think.... i really am confused as fuck as what to focus on. kellyb said "no glutes = no results".. and ive been going on that as well as joedefrancos methods, rippetoe... etc...

i am still to this day trying to make the glutes and hamstrings my prime movers, and while my glutes are much better developed now, i still dont feel them doing anywhere as much work as my quads in a bilateral jump.

hey adarq,
when you do half squats, where on your foot do you put most of the weight?
many coaches/ powerlifters always instruct their athletes to have majority of their weight on their heels when they squat and deadlift. do you think this is necessary when training for vertical jump (particularly bilateral jump)?
 
everyone knows that having weight on the heels when performing movements emphasizes the glutes and hamstrings... but i never jump of my heels... so why would i train like that?
