yea, hes more of a pure 2 foot jumper, i dont think there are many good 2 foot jumpers that aren't quad dominant.

yup, i forgot about that, especially with mutaz essa barshim lol.

goal now is to make this consistent. i think my max vert is now sitting in between the mid 30s and high 30s. don't think i have the best genetics, but i'm confident that i can get to 40. just have a very slight ache in my left knee still, think im just gonna keep foam rolling and stretching it i guess. may try cross friction massage on it and maybe even acupuncture.

Where in the knee? Don't go sticking needles into tendons and ligaments haphazardly.

probably the quadricep tendon, very very close to the kneecap though. and yea, of course i'm not gonna go about doing it by myself at home, i'm gonna get a professional to do it. or do you think getting a professional to do it is haphazard too?

is it just me or does DJ stephens jump very hip/glute dominantly? maybe it's just cause hes so long and thin. his thighs look like sticks, so i was also figuring he isn't very quad dominant.

gotta find another way to do weighted pistols

why? there are like 8 bajillion ways to strengthen your legs that are easier to load. or you could do more reps. plenty of ways to progress.

yea true. i just really like pistols(on a box) cause i can get that rock bottom range of motion lol. i guess i can just go back to high bar ATG squats though. i hope they don't bother my left knee though. itl'll be kinda weird too if they do cause i'm doing these pistols 100% pain free.

158
trap bar deadlift: 315 5, 325 x 6 and 6.

pistol squats with 35 lb kettlebell: 5 and 6.

two 50m sprints.

gotta find another way to do weighted pistols, i could do more reps, but even a 35 lb kettlebell was too much. also think i may still be more quad dominant, i'm strongest in the trap bar when i have my knees forward and really power it through with the quads. i felt a bit of pain though in my left quad tendon during them, but it was very minimal. the only thing that seems to give my knee the most grief is only 1 foot jumping it seems like.

159
so as to cut off the acole thread hijack: i think you should email the >35 track and field group. if you explain that you're an amateur/noob and are having difficulty finding training partners and competitions, they might let you come by and train anyway. i mean, you're canadian, y'all are nice. worst case scenario, they send a polite "no."

yea i'll look into it. and yup lol, won't be a big deal if they decline.

had a session today, RL only and my left knee was still aching during, probably from jumping off 1 foot last session. definitely gonna play it safe now, no more 1 foot.

completely out of gas, but managed to do 1x15 pistol squats too. no pain at all in my left knee. in fact, i feel more stress in my right knee than my left.

161
cool that you have amateur track and field competitions btw. we don't have any here, and i already graduated highschool, so i missed my chance for all that stuff.

yea, that sucks that they missed your time. try this out though if you wanna self time yourself though:

where do you live? there aren't bi-weekly comps in my area (metro DC) but there are a few all-comers meets over the course of the summer and a couple of indoor ones in the winter. had to do a bit of googling to find them but they're there.

vancouver. yea i did some googling but only found a track and field club for people 35+. that'll be more than a decade for me before i can join lol.

did a few dribble dunks off 1 foot on 9'6, still giving me minor pain in my left knee. possibly still am recruiting too much quad? or maybe i'm just not meant to be a 1 foot jumper lol.

400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: sprint timer app

Oh yea, I didn't think about the delay. I'm guessing even at 100 meters there's gonna be a slight delay in sending that Bluetooth signal from phone to speaker
