God what happened to your grandpa? Just bumped his head randomely? On what?

fell out of his "eldery chair" and hit his head on the tile :/ so pretty hard head collision i imagine.. brain scans are fine, so he just needed some stitches.

It's almost as horrible as the photo I saw on fb of a friend who lost a chunk of his index finger in the food processor.

wtf?

eek

Changing subject, good looks on the pin squats, i'm a fan too now. Could you explain the rationale behind this high-rep experiment? I do not condone it, quite the contrary, I'm very much in awe of it.

cool, rationale is explained in the MEBM/LTMP-VOLUME blog articles.. basically just recruiting every MU possible.. heavy high rep lower body lifting makes it possible to really push the intensity when pushing the reps... can't breathe and recover nearly as good when doing upper body exercises. one extra bonus to high rep work is the rep velocity.

So when doing weighted calf raises, with the goal of trying to improve vertical jump...

Should the principles of reactive strength and RFD be applied here as well?

Should each rep be performed by dropping down, catching yourself and exploding up as fast as possible?

probably not since you get that through your plyos and jumping...i think the idea is to just strengthen the muscles through progressive overload just like squats...just work on getting the weight up on the lift like any other...tinker with it all later

x2

you want to just hit them controlled, no bouncing... no need for bouncing - you can do that through reactive work/sprints/jumps, you want to hit the muscle hard through controlled tension. i'd go with controlled tension on the way down and up, more so on the way up.

thanks flip/raptor :F

raptor, 50 reps koz 50 reps is boss.





my grandpa's bloodpool/lacerated eye-area:

I'm PR-ing every half squat session, but that's prolly cause i never really half squatted for a long time and since then i gained a lot in my full squat. Friday or the next week you should see a 2x half squat vid(or at least projected 2x) 

very nice :F

your deep squat should go up too, if you still get that movement work in.









PR 225 x 45 @ 154.. i stopped at 45 because, i'd like to have to try and hit 50 again, instead of hitting 50 and then backing off from this kind of training.. don't get me wrong, my shoulders were toast, legs felt pretty good, but if i had grinded it out i could have got 50.. i'd like to hit 50 even more impressively in the near future !!!

peace

;f

peace

i was digging those bounce off the backboard attempts man! i'd love to see more of that mon ami

hit one off two hands today but i dno need to get higher on it!@$1 bleh

also that facebook post was awesome! SCREW RAP MUSIC!!!

hahaha

well, i love rap, good rap, but that's a rarity... i listen to everything though, probably a bigger fan of 'dance' and 'classical', all over the place hah

cutting down the food is tricky. my strength seems to have gone down (could be other factors) recently since ive cut back a lot on food.

ya.. today i felt so much stronger just from my short carb up last night.. only 4 hours sleep and got up pretty good.. i might not actually continue with low carb, i know im all over the place.. because im obsessed with this high rep lifting stuff and i kind of need those carbs to keep my sessions productive..

going to rep 225 out alot tonight i think, going to try a new 'resting technique', hopefully 225 x 35 or so haha.. should be jam packed with food so no excuses

They deleted the lemon reply ? Or you did?

LE: I trolled replying Ephedrine

they keep censoring me.. i'm going to continue posting like that until they block me, because they deleted my dunk videos from their contest, didn't do that to any1 else that i know of.. i got too much swag for em`, they can't handle it... well, not they, 'some fat guy'..

nice screenshot your reply next time and drop a pic :F

like this:











i only took 1 still so far from the footage, but i just love this pic for some reason, looks really cool.. i grab rim on my way up, in a way to gain control of myself, completely missed the ball for the dunk, but got up good.. i only had a few good max jumps, anyway love this pic, and new high socks are pimpin`.

:F

Holy sh*t.

New dunk?
Insane coordination, power/hops (5'9? srs?) and flair.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMskQ9x0eso" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMskQ9x0eso</a>

uh that was dirty.. i actually forgot to click that link on my subs, this is why we post vids hahahaha.. that's an insane dunk right there.

nice to see the trix

interesting how I do the the same things you tried, except on a 2' shorter hoop.  

ya i'm also 6'1 tho... ur 3'6... you just touching 10' hoop will be more impressive than me dunking.
