What is your view on MEBM partials? Like using them for MEBM-ing the CNS, i am and will always be too weak to do that with deep squats ( my 20RM PR is 145 or sth ) but i reckon i can do 225x20 half.
ya partials would definitely be effective, you're just going to be taxing the various muscle groups differently, ie, how they contribute along the strength curve for that movement. you may also get more contribution from the secondary movers, ie, you may get more glute/hamstring recruitment doing MEBM half squats because your body is struggling to fire every last motor unit to get that weight up, as everything is fatiguing like crazy in the prime movers (quads). so that'd be a nice benefit.
i mebm'd half squats so.. pretty much stimulated everything from my feet up through calfs/hams/glutes/quads/erectors/lungs etc.

also.. vertec jumps are becoming way more popular lately, which is great! we've always loved vertec footage, now it seems people are realizing it's youtube worthy in and of itself.

ya that looks like 12'6".. if the bottom rung was even with the rim, it would be 12' max. But, the bottom rung looks like it's ~6" above the rim, so 12'6". IIRC, the increments on the vertec bar go up by 6", so, 84", 90", 96", 102", 108", 114", 120", 126". I think 126" (10'6") would be a "custom line" on the bar; ie, it doesn't come default/officially marked on the vertec, but, you could create a marking with a marker on the bar, there's enough room. Not much room after 10'6" though.

bw = 174
soreness = shoulders/forearms
aches/injuries = right hand (pinky)
Session: lift & shadow tennis
S1: neutral grip pullups or chinups
- BW @ 3 x ~8
S1: ssbar deep squat:
- 165 lb. @ 1 x 11
- 165 lb. @ 1 x 15
- nice.. 20 coming soon
S1: single leg squat
- BW @ 2 x 5
S1: tennis form stuff
legs felt good.. would like to hit "easy 165 x 20's" within the next 2 weeks. part of that is mental -> I need to make gains in this department
mission:
20's
20's
20's
20's
20's
..
beyond just building back my strength, I need to build back my mental toughness.

« on: October 05, 2015, 12:08:34 am »Did a thing today....went and jumped.
Therapist cleared me friday to lift light and shoot some jumpers and stuff with semi strict instructions not to push it.... soooo....
lifted back/biceps, did some rehab lifting (light, high rep knee stuff) and went to the court. warmed up a little woth some jumpers and said fuck 8t, im dunking the 9 and a half foot goal. Knee was sore-ish on takeoff and had very mild pain on landings. After a few jumps tho it subsided so I ventured to 10 foot. I can still dunk buty timing on lobs and stuff is wayyy off. Guessing max vert now is right around 40-41 at best. Not bad for wekks and weeks off! Took a few vids, will upload later. Much stretching to do now.
good news!
that should comfort your mind a bit.. now just ease into it

Boxing / Matthysse vs Postol
« on: October 04, 2015, 11:53:35 pm »
very surprised at this fight.. Viktor Postol pretty much owned Matthysse. Postol is enormous for 140. He was timid during the fight but still dominated... that's impressive. When he let his hands go, Matthysse had no answer and was in serious trouble. Matthysse really should have invested more to the body.
Really impressed with Postol.. If he can keep winning and eventually fight Crawford, that would be a sick fight.
On shotime, edner cherry fought padraza.. horrible robbery imho. Cherry definitely won that. They really need to fix these outright robberies in boxing, I knew Cherry had no chance winning that, no matter how many rounds he won. The story of the up and comer vs the old timer. Pretty much the only way to beat the up&comer is to tko/ko.
didn't watch much of the broner fight.. not interested until he fights some bigger competition again.
