Yeah my hip has also become manageable and it's now more of a nuisance because it often gets tight but pain is not really present anymore
haha... weird. hip circles are also something that my hip doesn't like. we might be on to something here. other exercises I tried to do and had to ditch because they felt uncomfortable were weighted leg raises and bulgarian splitsquats.

Your pull-ups are getting very strong... that drop off though.

haha I feel you. I also tried to follow this path of high volume. I did olylifts/squatting 4 times a week with jump training beforehand while playing volleyball 2 times a week. All I got out of it was some pretty bad patella tendonitis. I had to stay away from any type of jumping and squatting for the last several weeks which sucked. I now adjusted my training. Trying to be somewhat intelligent for once.

Interesting stuff. I really can see this approach working out for you.

I'm not really informed about taking creatine to be honest but I thought about trying it out myself, because I've heard a lot of positive things about it. Are there times you would especially suggest creatine supplementation like for example during a strength block or are you just constantly taking it? My only fear is that I will blow up even more and store a lot of water weight as I've heard of some people that have gained quite a bit of weight while being on creatine.

haha yeah that volume is huge... my knees would simply disintegrate no way I would be able to handle it. and the daily pistols/slant board squats imho add to the stress put on the knee/patella tendons...

Stopped by the court on my way to lift with the wife the other day,
Did I miss anything? Are you back together now? I thought you were done for good.

How is your knee able to cope with this kind of stress... I thought that you had a pretty good plan how you want to go about "rebuilding" your whole body and focus on losing weight, getting more fit etc. and now all of a sudden you're doing depth jump and jump squats twice a week and heavy squat singles eventhough you wanted to work on improving your overall squatting/movement patterns. When you ask me all this is just asking for another injury... going into such a program pretty much unprepared and kinda hurt. Besides that you're doing depth jumps from a 23" box when your max svj is 21". I don't know if I would call these athletic/strength levels intermediate to be honest.

Pull ups
BW x 13 >> 60sec rests.
BW x 5 >> Was supposed to start with cable rows but someone was on them.
BW x 4
Damn that's a quick drop-off .... haha.

^^^ Forgive me for not realizing that the joke was actually a non sequitur. Maybe it's an American/Australian thing but here I might make a joke like "I want to see if I can still dunk at 300lbs" even though I clearly don't want to be 300lbs. But I can dunk. I wouldn't say "I want to see if I can still run a 4 minute mile at 300lbs" because I cannot run a 4 minute mile so that is nonsense... Instead I might say "maybe getting to 300lbs will allow me to run a 4 minute mile". Maybe it's a cultural difference, maybe your Sartre reincarnated, but my reading into your suggestion was not unreasonable for any normal person...
Great. You haven't made significant gains chasing arbitrary ratios. And now you refuse to stop chasing the arbitrary ratios that haven't paid off in any measurable athleticism. There is no reason but yourself as to why you won't jump 35 inches and will be stuck in sub 30 purgatory...
But your insistence on micromanaging your training and doing research and coming up with theory and idea will continue to take precedence...
Last point... I just got back from emotion symposium which is a great conference and we really need to not underestimate the power the belief and the brain has on our results...
You will spend your time writing the ultimate training split with "dynamic" and "plyo" days and evaluating and researching and denigrating exercises by calling RDLs half-deadlifts or what ever else you want to criticize. Your energy will go toward this endeavor and you might be rewarded w a log book that has th ultimate categorized perfect training split!!!
The rest of us... We will just follow a well thought out program designed by good coaches and tweaked by ourselves. It won't be perfect, maybe only 80% right. But we will believe in it 100% and stick to it, be patient and make ridiculous gains.
+ 2
It really is quite frustrating to try and help you. It feels like flogging a dead horse... it doesn't even seem that you want to listen or acknowledge the valuable points made by different members of the forum (mostly TOddday). I mean this information given is just such a great resource but rather than using it you prefer to stick with your approach which clearly doesn't yield the best results.

Functional training options:
1.Always sit perfectly straight up.
2.Use class time to do eccentric leg, arm, and core exercises.
3.Do ME sprints on the walk between classes.
4.Jump up to touch lamp posts and tree branches as I pass them going to class.
5.Use classtime to do movement analysis and ultimate analysis.
6.Do loaded carries on walks between classes (carry plates around).
7.Use Car rides to train grip, do upper body and neck stretches.
8.Do intense PNF stretches with the upper body between and during class to gain really good scapular mobility and add inches to my reach.
9. ALWAYS carry a disc. Practice wrist motion and touch, switching grips and doing grip strength training.
10. Be completely focused and always working towards improving my goals. Use phone reminders to keep on track.
Are you serious about doing ME sprints and loaded carries on the walk between classes and also jump up to touch lamp posts and tree branches? Haha that would look soo ridiculous to be honest
Even if your self esteem allows you to do that I don't see it to be a very good idea and it potentially could lead to injuries as after sitting for like an hour or two you just want to go all out on sprints and jumps without any warmup whatsoever? I don't know if that's very intelligent imho.Besides that when you are gonna do movement and ultimate analysis stuff during classes why go to classes in the first place as you are clearly not paying attention to the material of the class anyways?
