Hey guys.

I want to add one or two weekly jumping days to my program. I want to be able to do it everywhere, so Im not required to go somewhere special. I guess Ill always be able to find a chair or a bench to do depth jumps or whatever from, if needed.

I would like to train both single and double leg jumps.

Suggestions?

Hi guys. Need your  infinite wisdom.

Ive thrown the hammer for nearly 13 years now and even though I love to throw the hammer, its time for change. So either by the end of june or medio september, I want to mix things up.

I need your help, because I have a hard time deciding what to do now and a new view on things might help.

Ive considered the following:

1) Train for decathlon. Focus will be on sprinting and jumping. Ill need to loose ~20kg of bw and try to keep my strength as much as possible.

2) Change to powerlifting for a while and build more strength. Slowly cut fat and jump/spring on the side.

I really like to jump and would like to do the decathlon. To do this I really need to loose weight as its to damn hard on my joints to jump and run at my current bw.

I also really like to lift and I think I have a chance to set a danish record in powerlifting and maybe go to an international championship. But this would force me to remain heavy.

Whats you view on this. Do you see a solution I dont or have an amazing idea. Feel free to share it.

They leaked the first episode. Just watched it. It was NICE!! Look forward to this if you follow that show.

So as a heavy and decently tall guy with fairly long arms, I often get met by smaller guys who wants to compare lifting numbers, but always to bw because theyre of course small and light.

I always respond that its not really a fair comparison unless you start comparing ROM as well, to which they never respond.

I know this has been talked over a lot, but I got tired and started thinking whats an easy way to compare between different people. Lance linked me this at some point: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.html

That site seems a good way to me.

Other than that Ive thought of comparing strength to BMI. BMI consider you height as well as you weight, and although it does not take into calculation the factor of long levers, it seems better to me than just comparing to weight. And even though it doesnt consider levers, taller persons tend to have longer legs, arms and torsos.

Just a thoughts on a day where I try to complete my last exam assignment before summer break.

From today (sat). Im thinking 1/3 squat?
