Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Best examples of "squat made" great vertical jumpers
« on: March 10, 2011, 08:42:31 pm »
Obviously, the dunking world is full of genetic freaks who can dunk without touching a squat rack in their lives. Who are some of the best examples of the opposite- guys who have become extremely strong, and as a result, or at the same time, developed great VJ or RVJ? Talking about the guys that you can definitely say "they are damn strong" and they can jump freaking high(and there is a strong correlation).
My few:
KINGFISH : Dude can fly and squats a ton

RIP
the short guy can also fly and squats a lot
Not trying to start a pro squat only freaking CoolCol J thread, but for the average "white boy" developing a big time squat can be essential to developing some serious ups, not to mention it really is the most trainable essential part of Vertical jumps.

Football / Re: Why there is more to football than speed and strength
« on: March 08, 2011, 08:29:09 pm »
Well if you are still in HS good for thinking critically about it. I know I wish i would have spent more times perfecting routes, catching passes, working on getting off ball, 1 on 1 break downs, pass rushing techniques ETC.
A ton can be mimicked without the use of pads/hitting, people just dont think critically and come up with drills, instead relying on weight training and a few passing tournaments every summer.

agreed, which is a shame that so many high school kids focus solely on squat, bench, and maybe a little bit of conditoning. So much more goes into the game of football. If you are a skill guy, you should be out working on the intrinsics of your position, same with linemen.
A basketball player wouldnt simply spend a summer lifting weights, why would a football player?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Posterior Chain Strength Preparation for the Vertical Jump by Charles Poliquin?.
« on: March 07, 2011, 01:11:34 pm »
hmm never did them like that
Another great but under used exercise for improving lower/upper body in terms of vertical jump power- overhead med ball throws, almost same thing as swings except your letting go for distance or height

dont agree at all, there can be a ton of discrepancy between having a good stand broad and good standing vert IMO. Especially shorter guys/less lanky guys are at a disadvantage standing broad jump wise, same goes for those with form issues(flexibility, actually technique in terms of broad jump)
Not sticking up for the guy nor do I care what he jumps lol Just saying from observation and experience
For example, in the past I had standing vert of 30, yet I could barely get over 9 on broad and maybe only did a few times..

different opinions I guess, obviously all guys mentioned have a ton of experience and knowledge. I personally like a lot of what Smith says as I have met him and talked with him various times, and hes know his shit big time. guy is real smart and truly brings that "attention to detail" . Not to mention anyone that has made it through hell week(twice and been iron man i think) is good to go in my book but thats a different story.
Still encourage anyone to try either way out for themselves and go from there, one would be a fool to except anything as straight gospel
One part about defrancos piece I like is train back like body builder, at least to general sports population, too many people bench bench bench and neglect back work.
