Yeah squat to VJ like the one on Kelly's site would be a great tool and it would be fun too. For me it has always been accurate.

next to every post now, on the left, i have two icons.. little black mask things.. click them.

the first one is a weight converter.... for quickly converting lb. to kg. or vice versa.. you can scroll the screen while the popup is pinned to the right.

the 1RM is there as a place holder.. ill get that one done shortly..


is this broken for anyone? works for me on a bunch of browsers.. one person on live chat told me it was giving them some weird 'session verification error'.. but for me/others it's working.


why black masks?because i was trying to format the buttons all nice, but they just looked dumb.. so i got fed up and decided to use little icon pictures...

the left side of each post will eventually havea bunch of tools, and ill put them inside of the 'post form' somewhere, for when we reply/quot/post actual messages..


peace

Definitely liking this feature. When i hovered over the lb to kg the help label appears said coming soon, i thought it was done, so i clicked on it and when the color started to change, oh no ... i  was expecting the screen to change red, animated devil head popping up and saying some weird crazy shit.

lol, always had to google lbs to kg conversion.
 
   

you should make a video of how much vert you have retained, off of two and one. that'd be really cool.

Damn man ur back!!!  I had a feeling you would be

135?  I was squatting 135 in the video AND 225, both same form.

Regarding my squats, my 265 x 1 full squat, the form got messed up b/c i just PR'd on 255 and ran a full court bball game on bum ankle earlier.  But generally speaking, my form is the same for 0 lb and 255.   So I'm not being prideful and being above my head.  It would be stupid for me to drop down and a waste of my time.

cya!

hyperdunk:

way too much rounding.. need to lighten it up a bit and really tighten up.. upper back rounding is a huge no-no.. a little butt-wink is no problem, but a combo of lower + upper rounding = bad.

just trick yourself into believing that PR's are not simply 'weight based', but are in fact a combination of 'weight + form'.. with this mindset, a PR cannot occur if one or the other is missing.. so increasing weight, achieving the rep, but ugly form, would result in no PR.. this is a good way to humble yourself.

So you're saying you can't maintain a flat upperback with a empty barbell?

my back rounds more when i do a barless squat, especially if my heels aren't elevated.. mobility issue, but bar on back evens that out. edit: lower back though, not upper.

The problem is though, my upper back is rounded when i am standing up doing nothing.  How do I correct that posture?

Overall it looks good. It's just that light blue/ cyan stuff that's irritating. If you could change that to something more "neutral" it would be better imo

Um... "mid-foot jogging"? What the heck is that?

Jackw mentioned a few time saying, it have the benefit of added resistance for your jump, without the extra load harming ur joint during landing.

on the other hand, the band force u to go down faster, increase ur counter movement speed, doesn't that yield extra load during the landing phase?

um, i am not sure..

I have the other version from lifeline. I kinda wish I didn't have it though, beacause it's very tempting to want to use it with every exercise all the time. I've tried with squats, kb swings, calve raises(doesn't work well), deadlifts, bounds, depth jumps etc. I would say in the grand scheme of things it hasn't really helped me. I would consider this a worthy gimmick though, because of its variety with uses. I just don't think it will complement the general phase of getting stronger that much, it kinda just makes you want to use it all the time.

What about backward downhill "walks" or basically eccentric calf raising walks? Ever tried such a thing? Less intense but much more TUT and almost no rest in between reps.

Another option would probably be doing what I was actually doing that got me that hard soreness in the first place - eccentric oriented step-ups
