people all over the place whining about gym's and settling on stupid things like squatflex, meanwhile, this dude is putting in work.

quad-nation going single leg!

yup, single leg kills my glute so perhaps glute nation as well now :F

Man that court looks just great, and I love those clouds on the sky.

1-leg FOR THE WIN

ya man i couldn't believe it when i got there.. i tried finding a court on my "Vacation", that's the court i found.. what a sick park that is.. those rims were so soft too, really nice..

ya man get ready for TONS of single legging.......................

might even do light bball practice with my 12 lb vest on tomorrow, dno though hah.

pc

1 leg ftw!

ya.. i think im finally addicted.. i will not go a week without SLRVJ'n as long as i am able, at this point.. the potential is crazy i have to train slrvj hard.

i was going to get my mom to throw me lobs today, leonss style, but my double leg jumps were sucking so bad for the most part, and i was missing everything.. so i didn't.. ill have to get that done though in the near future.

peace man, first post too!

Even though I'm slowly transitioning towards 2 leg jumping as my weight increases, definitely 1 leg take offs FTW!!

ya i LOVE how it feels.. i imagine if i stay consistent, 2 months from now it'll overtake my DLRVJ.

and ya that'll happen with weight gain.. i ate way too much during my 'vacation' haha, 135 looks far away right now.. looked close 2 weeks ago

pC

i dunked for 50 minutes double leg, made two dunks... got up good on a few jumps.. it was SO HOT.. double leg was toast, and i was annoyed i hadn't landed anything good.. so then i say F this, im going single leg.. and i started flying single leg.. made 6 dunks lmao wtf.. a few real nice ones, a few really nice misses.. PR SLRVJ's for sure.
 

this court is 'on vacation'..




nasty single leg jump:







here's the SLRVJ jumps (probably alot out of order):














































here's some double leg jumps:















man my single leg is going to blow up soon..

Guys, I'm done here. No, the shrimp should not be used exclusively. I use it because it's convenient for me, setup-wise. Squats would work great, lunges would work great, BSS would work great, snatch-grip DLs would work great, but they're all less convenient for me, and so, I don't use them. 

You're all welcome to continue doing what you want. I'm gone.

good riddance.

I can tell you one thing (as far as my recent injury):

YOU DON'T WANT ANY TWIST WHEN SQUATTING

yup, sickenin is basically trying to injure people on this forum.

the shrimp fails to address this one important issue:

the ability to overcome more resistance for a given ROM than other exercises with that same ROM





so, for same ROM, bss/lunge allows you to overload far more than 'the shrimp'.. this is obviously due to the coordination factor involved with 'the shrimp'. some people might say, well that coordination issue yields more improvements in 'athletic ability' than less coordinated movements such as bss/lunge, i disagree.. the most simple multijoint movements are far more important imo.. it doesn't get any more simple than squat, lunge, bss, calve raise etc.. those are the purest forms of overloading those roms, which should allow for the greatest gains in hypertrophy/strength/various cns adaptations..

someone could say, 'well the shrimp utilizes stabilization to a higher degree, and thus has more transfer to sport'.. i would say, that stabilization is almost useless, as high speed movements work in much shorter time frames that would not stabilize the joints in that manner.. furthermore, if stabilization mattered, while lifting, we'd see much more improvements in athleticism from "the functional crowd".. weighted swiss ball pushups would be somehow utilized by shotput throwers eventually.. never going to happen.

training solely with 'weighted shrimp' would fail to improve barbell squat much more so than training solely with 'weighted bss/lunge'.. that's my opinion.. again, more overload can be utilized in a simpler movement.. so loading up 100 lb total of db's on your shoulders in a shrimp, does not compare AT ALL to loading up 225 lb on your shoulders during a bss.. i'd imagine 100 lb total during a shrimp to be 'as difficult' as 225 lb on a barbell for a bss, as an example, but that's due to the coordination factor and overall difficulty/time to complete the exercise...

^^ people might say, well who cares about squat.. but most people's goals on this site center around squat.. even short sprints.. squat is insanely beneficial for short sprints, and of course jumps of all kinds (obviously bilateral), including single leg jumps.. a heavy, bilateral barbell squat (half or quarter) is an incredible tool to highly arouse the CNS for single leg jumps, a day or two after.

the arousal needed to complete very heavy simple barbell lifts is very different than the arousal needed to complete a 'highly coordinated' weighted exercise like the shrimp.. the arousal experienced by the former, seems to be one of the most beneficial aspects of training.

my 2 cents, now im off to sleep can barely keep eyes open.

I believe I'm adding plenty to the discussion.

Were "shrimps" talked about in your Engineering the Athlete book that was backed by science and can be compared to the works of Verkhoshansky ? If the answer is no, I think everyone can see why nobody should listen to a word you say.

would he include them exclusively now? it sounds like he'd use them exclusively, i mean that's the vibe i get from some of his posts.. exclusively for bilateral jumpers? or just sprinters? what about short accell?

I don't see how 'the shrimp' could improve broad jump more than a "p-chain based barbell squat".. i mean if it did, throw specificity right out of the window..
