12 chocolates? wtf? How many calories from these?

haha dno, alot probably, was 154 today b4 poop'n tho so, good news there..

chocolate rain :F

these are good chocolates but ya, i go on these chocolates binges.. i do feel way stronger when i get all those extra kcal's in, but, it definitely isn't good for my BW.

pC










Thanks for the response and I actually looked around and saw you have addressed that stuff before similarly so thanks for being cool and stating again.  What do you think about the fact that shorter guys should do deeper squats in order to move weight over the same range of motion as a taller guy doing half squats?

i don't necessarily believe total height is the issue, but instead, leg length to torso ratio.. even someone who is 5'7 can have leverages that make it difficult to half squat..

so i'm more into how someone is built, regardless of height, which most always has "basketball athletes" being built for half squatting due to their lankyness.. someone who has leverages more like an olympic lifter, should stick to squatting deep, it really comes alot easier to them and it will be more beneficial given the range of movement, for sure.

an example of 'short lanky athletes' would be sprinters.. some of these guys are ~5'9-5'10 with really high hips and short torsos..



Quote
Or does the shorter guy stick to half squats since that is the range of jumping anyways but they will have to just push way more weight since the leverages are not as advantages to producing power in sport movements?

a shorter guy built like an oly lifter should use deeper squatting primarily, but, they can still transition into half squatting for peaking cycles.. for them to half squat ALWAYS would be an issue given the ROM and the load needed to cause gains in that rom.



Quote
Then it becomes a question of how thick does a little mans torso need to get in order to support so much load to get their legs strong enough in a heavy half squat. I am overanalyzing like a mofo but being a little guy I have noticed that for me to drop ten pounds and squat 50-85 more will be needed but also tricky.

well, if you do have 10 lb to lose, drop the 10 lb and maintain your squat, which will lead to relative strength gains, vert gains, and relative strength PR's.. once you drop that weight, try and stay there while building squat, it's entirely do-able, just have to really get "bulking" out of your head.. it's harder to PR on lifts while maintaining weight, but each PR you do make means alot more because of the relative strength gains and the fact that just being lighter while getting stronger leads itself to better sprint/vert gains for pretty much anyone.. i'm talking generally here so, not sure about your specifics right now, but excess fat never helps jumping/sprinting so, that's what i'm basing those comments off of.

peace man hope that helps.

I know what you say about high rep calf raises, and I feel the same. But aren't the gastrocs kind of 50-50 in terms of fiber content (fast twitch/slow twitch)? I knew the glutes are 60-40 in favor of fast twitch, and hamstrings 70-30 (obviously, with individual-related variations).

The time under tension of each rep on a calf raise is so low due to the range of motion in the exercise that the higher reps are necessary most of the time to do any good, regardless of the fibers youre trying to target. 



yup good point!

It's just that Carl Lewis would have agreed 'partly' with those type of methods Jay proposes. So do I.

Carl started lifting heavy towards the back end of his career & ran slower.


well, it's not like carl lewis wasn't impressive prior to utilizing "iso-like methods", he didn't make a "transformation", he always was elite.. you could correlate the lifting & running slower thing, but, it's most likely just due to age and wear & tear.. lifting was a last ditch effort i imagine, to maintain his power.

elite athletes can do all kinds of stuff and "say it works", ask air up there (AUT) how he gets his hops, he'll say "stretching". So, he would "agreed" with "stretchexpert's methods", which is pretty much just stretching and some other weak shit..

you have to look at the source, if it's an elite athlete who has always been elite or very close to it, completely "natural", then you have to be very wary of what you learn from them.. it's great to watch them move, look at how they produce force, look at how they eat, look at how they get in their 'skill/event work', but most often their actual weight room training or anything that would cause us the biggest adaptations - is severely lacking..

Air Up There has no reason to lift, unless he wants to jump higher..

Adarqui has no reason to lift, unless he wants to jump higher..

______ has no reason to lift, unless _______ wants to jump higher..

that statement covers EVERYONE, regardless of their current level.. someone like AUT could lift and eventually add some serious inches to his already insane vert, but he already jumps crazy high, elite level, so that concept doesn't even factor in.. why train so hard and increase injury risk by using progressive resistance training, when you can just go stretch & dunk and jump 50+.

bw = 155
soreness = hamstrings a TONNNN, calves a bit
aches/injuries = none
fatigue = extremely high (5 hours sleep)diet = 12 chocolates + protein/water-drink, LTMP-VOLUME{pin-6-squat=135x8,225x15}, southwestern chicken sandwich, lots of running with dog, LTMP-VOLUME{rdl=45x15,135x25, ng-pullups=12, calve-raise=155x20}, 10 chocolates + protein/water-drink, southern chicken sandwich + gatorade + a few chocolates, LTMP-VOLUME{pin6-squat=155x8,245x20} + ~
2mile walk, thick turkey and cheese sandwich + protein/water-drink + gatorade + sunflower seeds

legs felt amazing







hamstrings SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sore.. but legs feel SOOOOOOOOOOO strong.. crazy shit

Side note, why don't yall europeans list your height in metric like your weights?

We do. Im 1,87m

Then you're not 5'8,5"...


I know. I posted that his height was 5'8,5". Apparently alot of you misunderstood that.

i was always under the impression that flander was a 5'3 manlet, wtF!!!!!!

Ok so, we have LTMP-VOLUME (other blog post) and now LTMP-SINGLES. Keeping this real short, basically, instead of hitting a warmup with 30% and then just getting right into a 60-80% lift x Failure, this session has you doing a work up of singles after the 30% warmup, for example:


Light stretching, ~15 min
Light interval sprints: 10x
Half squat: 30% x 10, 60% x 1, 70% x 1, 80% x 1, 85% x 1, 90% x 1, 95% x 1


etc...

You can use MSEM clusters in there also, so working up to an MSEM 1 x 2-4 @ 90-95% on singles, ~30-60s rest between reps.

The reason for LTMP-SINGLES now, is, need a very low volume high intensity type of session, because at times during this LTMP training, the body feels amazing and is giving you PR-level force production so, sometimes you'll want to try and take advantage of it. Also, these sessions are very low volume, nice to switch it up sometimes to give the body a break from volume, which can be tiring to people who aren't used to it.

Figuring out when to use LTMP-SINGLES and LTMP-VOLUME is up to you, i'd spend most of my time with the volume sessions, but when you're feeling really good, taking advantage of your new strength can be fun so hit up some singles and get after it.

If you were to use LTMP seven days a week, i'd use singles ~2d/week and volume ~5d/week. Rotating through different exercises for the LTMP-VOLUME session can keep you from feeling stale, ie rotating through half squat, rdl, pin squat, ghr, etc. For LTMP-SINGLES sessions, you'll want to use only the big exercises, squat, half squat, deadlift, pin squat, etc, no need doing singles with calve raises/ghr etc.

short blog, but we're building a framework, updated the LTMP-VOLUME blog a little bit.

As always though, listen to your body and use good judgement with these methods if you plan to utilize them.

peAce!

well, i did shotokahn (however you spell it) karate for ~8 years or so, from around age 8 to 16, with my dad, in a really hard oldschool "dojo".. anyway, we did horse stances every class, we'd be in that stance for a long time, throwing punches/blocks etc.. i became extremely good at it, could hold them forever, but it didn't make me any more powerful that's for sure.. i did that 3x/week for those 8 years.

perhaps it lead to some of my quad dominance, who knows, but, it definitely didn't lead to "powerful quads".

How was your form?, being centred?, straight spine? etc.

Man, I remember the days I started, I couldn't go 60secs before my legs started to shake.

being centered? dno, form was good, i'd get hit with a big weird looking stick if it wasn't (after i graduated past white belt).. ended up brown belt, couldn't get black belt koz you had to spar the sensai 100% to get black belt, this place was pretty hardcore.. it was in 'teh hood' lmao, only white kid at that park.

haha

but ya straight spin, sitting into it, just like you'd see in any shotokahn vids..

ya we'd have to hold it for minutes at a time.. if you rised up you'd come get hit with the stick and get your gi "torn up", just shaked around like you're a bitch.. it's funny looking back.

place was hardcore.. i had to hit girls daily.. hard.. if i didn't hit them full force, or attempt to hit them full force, so that they could learn to block properly, i'd get hit with a stick lmao.

Lifting heavy by Brian Shaw.



<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMkN5bdXpw0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMkN5bdXpw0</a>



Real beast right here.


he's a beast for sure but i'd be surprised if he wins WSM, he's just too tall imo.. can't win a few events being that tall: squat, deadlift, and press.. i'd imagine at least.. i'd be curious to see how he placed in those in 2009 WSM, probably was his downfall.

ok i was kind of right, but he's right there, he does suffer slightly in those events:

dno he's in the running for #1 this year cool, glad zadrunes got one though.

bw = 153
soreness = calves alot
aches/injuries = left knee slightly, knees feeling alot better than yesterday though, fascia less inflamed
fatigue = high
diet = gatorade + 3 ibuprofen, protein/water-drink, 1.5 mile walk with dog, 2 mcdonalds crispy chicken snack wraps + ~10 chocolates + gatorade, 7:30pm LTMP-VOLUME{rdl=95lbx40, ng-pullups=10, toes-in-calf-raises=45lbx40}, gatorade + 3 ibuprofen, 8:00pm LTMP-VOLUME{rdl=45x15,135x20, ng-pullups=10, calf-raises=45x40}, LTMP-VOLUME{rdl=45x15,95x40, ng-pullups=10, calf-raise=45lbx40}, protein/water-drink + 12 chocolates, LTMP-VOLUME{rdl=45x15,135x5,155x5,185x10}, gatorade + 3 ibuprofen + 4 eggs + tons of egg whites + sunflower seeds

in order to keep training high freq, i have to mix up my exercise selection slightly, but, it'll be for the best.. i can't do "heavy knee bend work" 4x/day every day, need to mix in non-knee-bend exercises such as RDL, GHR, 45deg hyper etc.. so far all i can really do multiple times per day is RDL, so that's what i did, hit my hamstrings nicely, hope they arne't sore tomorrow because i was actually planning to dunk.

LTMP-VOLUME breakdown: 4 sessions of RDL: 95 x 40, 135 x 20, 95 x 40, 185 x 10

want to get my RDL way up.. should go up pretty quick.. tried goodmornings initially, F goodmornings.. will post some vid of 95 x 40 otmorrow for fun.

~3 miles total of walking dog mixed in.

peace

ADARQ.ORG ADVANCED PROGRESS TRACKER

PROGRESS-TRACKER-ARTICLE: http://www.adarq.org/forum/performance-training-blog/the-2011-blueprint-better-gains-through-improved-clarity/

Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.

How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.



IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury
- DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury
- DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury <-- happens every time, STOP IT
- as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+
- cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs
- utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7

CURRENT GOALS
01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

But if u don't eat enough to promote recovery, how do u manage to recover? Most of u ppl seem to be able to squat every other day, but I just can't.

For example, I went heavy on the squats on Monday, my legs were toast tues and wed, and although I did manage to get in some work done on squats thurs ytd, my legs were still slightly sore going in.

I was abt to ask if perhaps submax weights were the answer, but I think u have been pushing the weights every squat session right?

well, eating maintenance kcal's is enough to recover, so.. you don't need "excess kcal' to recover, excess kcal will help lead to hypertrophy and fat gain.

i'm adapted to crazy high frequencies, im a work aholic.. if you were to squat every other day, you'd adapt to it.. you have to force the stimulus initially and risk feeling like shit, but you adapt.. plus you'd have to change up your set/rep schemes occasionally to avoid staleness due to the high frequency stimulus.

well i push the weights when they are submax, so, it's still intense.. 10 reppers are very intense.. but ya, i try to push it pretty much every workout, sometimes you have to hold back though.. that's the "art of training", just knowing what to do and listening to your body.. ego can really mess with you when it comes to that, it sure does for me.

pC cowed!@$!









high rep calf raises is just a great way to completely fatigue every MU, i can't seem to do it with low rep calf raises, not one bit.. my calfs will feel dead but i'll feel i have alot more left in the tank, hard to explain.. with high rep calf raises, they are completely fatigued and I feel i tapped into everything I possibly could, plus it makes them feel really good and keeps the risk of tweaking the achilles a little lower.

How many reps are we talking regarding the 'high rep' calf raise phase?. Bordering failure?.

20-30 total, definitely failure, strict form failure.

Quote
Also, when you talk about low rep calf raises, have you increased the load?.

ya, of course.. i personally hate low rep very heavy calve work, it's just too hard on the tendons when you're also incorporating jumping/sprinting etc.. not a fan of it in the least, ez way to cause achilles tendonitis issues.
