added the vert calculator tool icon.. lul.
the 'kg' button doesn't really work.. it just changes the result metric to 'kg' instead of 'lb'.. if anyone wants to look at it, tell me what to change in the formula.. i dont really even want to think about it.
i think the only issue is the 'desired' vert one.. but who knows, maybe they all ratio up.
just enter in bodyweight and then specify one of the 3 fields, it'll print a result.
want to work on that top comment thing instead.

Cant really tell anything without an overhead angle/ fish eyes lens and slow mo/music edited in, birth certificate, social security card, and also get a muscle biopsy done.
From first glance they look really good though.
edit: its not mandatory, but if you can hook yourself up to a polygraph machine when squatting next time it will be easier to give proper feedback.
lmao

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: September 28, 2012, 10:18:17 am »yeah they only seem to save on my profile
Try this: http://www.colorblender.com/?preloadblend=E6F4FDA0AAB0FCF6E6B0A9A0030303FCFCFC This is the "Alternate Adarq" if you no longer plan on using the obsolete menu bar, thus rendering the first palette useless.
cool that worked. i don't really know how to comprehend it though unless i mess around with the css on the site, and see it in action..
i'll have to mess with it over the weekend.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: September 28, 2012, 09:58:45 am »This light blue, doesn't go well with the rest of the site though, like the toolbar and the menu. So I tried doing a blend that goes well with that so here it is, just use on of the colours shown, like thos greenish greys: http://www.colorblender.com/?preloadsaved=Adarq%20Blending
If you don't wanna go that way, u should change the toolbar and background too, just slightly changing it to this brown(4th colour) and the light blue with the first colour, using the 2nd instead of the cyan which is now used for quotes and so on: http://www.colorblender.com/?preloadsaved=Adarq%20Alternate
U can experiment with colour on that site if you wanna, just change the first colour and the rest will automatically change to be in harmony.
Tell me what you think.
yo nightfly, i think you're linking it wrong.. when i go to those links, they are empty.. i think it's only working for you somehow.. i just see black squares, nothing more :/
EDIT: btw ya i plan to get rid of that gray toolbar... i havn't yet because it uses an image to build the toolbar look instead of pure css etc.... i like the light gray on the main forum message index etc.. but that toolbar definitely needs fixing.

Provide a timeline of your progress in squat vs. SVJ. From what I remember you are insanely strong in squat but you said your SVJ wasn't improving much. In that case the last thing you need to do is squat with your hips. I switched to narrow(er) stance squats, slightly less than shoulder width, and it's been strengtening my quads way more and vj improving. but I can't say much until I get to 3 plates and am jumping consistently above 40 which I rpedict would happen with my new squat form.
i too felt alot of improvement with narrow stances.
Quote
How far are your feet apart? And where do you feel it? (I've worked with individuals who have perfect looking squat form, due to their bone structure, who don't feel it where I do really so the narrow stance may not work for increased quad activation for everyone). why are you even asking for a form check. are you doing low bar or high bar? and where the f do you train, in dc?

« on: September 28, 2012, 09:49:36 am »good advice, i'm going to start doing those exercises in my routine, though i have rows already.
ya, face pulls (10-20 reps), trap bar deads (better for you now than regular, ~10 reps), rear fly (10-20 reps), single arm rows (8-15 reps), reverse pushups (to failure)/reverse pushup holds for time emphasizing pinching back of shoulder blades (to failure) etc, neutral back extensions (bodyweight to ailure), db shrugs rotating your shoulders back at the top (nice and controlled, 8-15 reps).
if you don't have access to a trap bar, deadlift off pins for a while..bar a little below knee height.. really focus on form/posture rather than ego-lifting.

« on: September 28, 2012, 09:45:34 am »you should make a video of how much vert you have retained, off of two and one. that'd be really cool.
seriously, my hops are probably non-existent right now.. so bad that i'd be afraid to even jump with full intensity, and if i did, it would be horrible.
i think my single leg is going to come back pretty fast though.. it still feels like lost something, in my brain, regarding double leg.. it feels weird just thinking about double.QuoteDamn man ur back!!! I had a feeling you would be
ya, i did a good job of lying to myself for a while though.. telling myself i'd never train again.. :F
i think you can still dunk off of 1 and 2
certainly not right now.. trust me man.
im 100% sure i can't dunk right now, i wouldn't even be close.. maybe 3 months from now though, that's the plan.
