Article & Video Discussion / Re: Sprint technique training
« on: December 27, 2019, 11:34:55 pm »
pretty sick seeing it rotated like that. very slick. 
I got to wondering what exercise that exists that most closely relates to the motion of a sprinter from the blocks to the drive out of the blocks.
A lot of exercises that work on the posterior chain do a lot of the knee extension part of the sprint but I don't notice a lot of resistance in the hip extension.
Maybe the use of rubber bands at the waist while doing something like the squats.
hip thrusts useful for hip extension but not so much for knee extension.
And me as usual I like to draw out my problems, which you can see below with some noted exercises that closely resemble but there is always that balance of specificity with convenience. such as doing step ups but adding hip bands to add resisted hip extension.
box squats with the shins straight and hips drawn back but keeping barbell over toes. But would create mechanical disadvantages and so on.

« on: December 27, 2019, 08:29:05 pm »Sweet - some dude is selling all of this
Going over tomorrow morning and grabbing these -
in $AUD
20kg IronEdge Comp Bar $100
5kg Bumper Plates pair $30
10kg Plates pair $20
5kg Plates pair $10
2.5kg Plate pair $5
1.25kg Plates pair $5
EZ curl bar $20
Spring collar pair $5
Olympic collar pair $5
(2) IronEdge soft low plyo boxes $20 - maybe these 2 need to see in person first, thinking the could be useful for various things as they are foam based, so nicely padded. Like foot rest for Bulgarian split squats, or pad for natural GHR etc
I know the bar is worth over $400 brand new and probably a lot better than my current bar, so keen to get another bar so I can have two exercises setup - ie squat and deadlift etc
Plus the EZ curl bar for doing other exercise for when an oly bar is just too big.
More plates so I can setup two bars
Will also grab 4x 20kg plates, with handle holes, second hand as well from another guy, useful for warming up when I'm too lazy to strip one of my dumbbells, plus extra plates for the second bar
Then just 2x10kg plates, and maybe a Safety Squat Bar and I'm set
The squat stands are tempting as well, can handle 500kg load and going for half price, but $400 is still a lot...
sick! gr8 find!

can't wait for 2020. leggo.
2015 sucked, 2016 sucked, 2017 sucked, 2018 was great, 2019 was great, 2020 = potentially epic.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Is it okay to play bball on a quad contusion?
« on: December 27, 2019, 12:37:50 am »
ive had some quad contusions that left me out weeks.
if it's not 95%+, then i wouldn't play with it.
if u compensate because of the injury, could cause more problems.

loved my SSB. feels pretty tough, harder than a normal back squat (regardless of bar position).
hits "the core" harder.
feel like it's definitely worth it. also great for high rep squatting.
