well, it's not like carl lewis wasn't impressive prior to utilizing "iso-like methods", he didn't make a "transformation", he always was elite.. you could correlate the lifting & running slower thing, but, it's most likely just due to age and wear & tear.. lifting was a last ditch effort i imagine, to maintain his power.

No doubt he was genetically gifted & fast from a young age, but there still was a lot of progression to be had. He wasn't running 9.8's from the get-go.

I guess in this instance there is more than one way to skin a cat. We saw that with his rivalry with Linford Christie. Two differing training methods.

I think Linford was pushing 700lbs+ in the squat.

It's just that Carl Lewis would have agreed 'partly' with those type of methods Jay proposes. So do I.

Carl started lifting heavy towards the back end of his career & ran slower.

Total bullshit.

13 players were admitted to the hospital with strange "undisclosed illnesses," due to an "intense, high-volume squat-lifting workout."

They were fukin' juiced to the gills.

Sack the coaching numpties responsible.

he's a beast for sure but i'd be surprised if he wins WSM, he's just too tall imo.. can't win a few events being that tall: squat, deadlift, and press.. i'd imagine at least.. i'd be curious to see how he placed in those in 2009 WSM, probably was his downfall.

ok i was kind of right, but he's right there, he does suffer slightly in those events:

dno he's in the running for #1 this year cool, glad zadrunes got one though.

It was The Strongman Super Series I just saw him on, placing 1st the last 2 years.

Watch out for this guy.

Football / Re: 40 yard dash videos on youtube

Take all 40 dash times with a grain of salt.

I'm led to believe it took Usain Bolt 4.20secs? to reach 40 yards in Berlin when he ran his world record run of 9.58.


ala...

well, i did shotokahn (however you spell it) karate for ~8 years or so, from around age 8 to 16, with my dad, in a really hard oldschool "dojo".. anyway, we did horse stances every class, we'd be in that stance for a long time, throwing punches/blocks etc.. i became extremely good at it, could hold them forever, but it didn't make me any more powerful that's for sure.. i did that 3x/week for those 8 years.

perhaps it lead to some of my quad dominance, who knows, but, it definitely didn't lead to "powerful quads".

How was your form?, being centred?, straight spine? etc.

Man, I remember the days I started, I couldn't go 60secs before my legs started to shake.

high rep calf raises is just a great way to completely fatigue every MU, i can't seem to do it with low rep calf raises, not one bit.. my calfs will feel dead but i'll feel i have alot more left in the tank, hard to explain.. with high rep calf raises, they are completely fatigued and I feel i tapped into everything I possibly could, plus it makes them feel really good and keeps the risk of tweaking the achilles a little lower.

How many reps are we talking regarding the 'high rep' calf raise phase?. Bordering failure?.

Also, when you talk about low rep calf raises, have you increased the load?.

What about a basketball "aggresive" defensive stance?. If I really really play defense and hold that defensive stance, I get sooo tired in the quads and calves... it's really weird. I basically stay in that defensive stance position more or less isometric in nature, with just a small knee/hip angle variation. It's interesting what you guys think about that?

Reminds me of the days when I was trying to progress the Horse stance exercise. You get shoalins doing that for hours. Crazy pain.







As for getting tired in the quads and calves, I would say a lot of that files down to the continuous stop/start running you do in the game. The Horse stance I was doing never put my calf's under strain but running surely does. It's like in sprinting, the drive/acceleration phase (stop/start in basketball) uses much of the quads/calfs, then thereafter, it turns more into more a posterior exercise.
