damnnn looks like your vert is going up a lot now.

thanks man, hope to get it up much higher over the next few months

  Where do you think you are now??? Looks like you hit the 40" mark, no?

not sure, if i hit head on that backboard it would be 40 legit, so, i feel today that i was really right there but every time i hit apex i was too far in front of the backboard instead if right under... so not sure, but until i smash my head on one of those 9'4"'s, i can't claim 40, as soon as i do though, it'll be solidified.

head looks like it's right around that area and my feet are damn high on my hips.

  And are you still trying to get down to 145lbs or you gonna stay around 150ish?

well i'd like 145, but, just not happening with my current diet/cardio level.. i'm staying at the same weight as my strength goes up, which i'm ok with, but ya i'd rather be 145 a bit more lean.. all i really need is the cardio, not getting it in is my fault.

peace man

you have to do CRAZY-DUMB-SHIT (crazy high volume, forced reps, psyche ups, etc) to achieve rhabdo, and eat like shit.

don't worry about it :F

Hi Andrew

I agree about thge use of isos from a performance point of view as being limited. This is my experience as well. However, and I appreciate I am getting off topic here, I have found weighted split squat isos to be beneficial in a warm up to help get the muscles activated. I know the guys I train seem to feel better and from my own experience I beleive they help alleviate knee pain because my quads and glutes work better afterwards.

Jack

thanks for the input jackW

Jack, do you view them superior to other forms of glute activation pre workout (glute bridge holds etc)?

What duration do you normally do them for/weight?

the only problem with those, for me personally, would be that they would stretch out my quads too much before dunking etc.. i've done them before prior to sprints/dunks and it wrecks how my quads feel, it's odd.. for stuff before dunking/sprinting, i like the prone glute/prone rev hyper stuff..

that's my 2cents on that..

good points..but people that are concerned with more than just DLRVJ and VJ (sports sprinting whatever) should not just jump on the quad nation gravy train IMO

right, train hamstrings, squat athletically with more transfer to vert, which is also more transfer to sprinting, because squatting correlates with accel and coming out of blocks/stance etc.. alot more quad involvement initially.. for top speed sprinting, in the weight room, it comes down to ghr's, reverse hypers, calf raises, 45deg back ext using glutes to extend, etc.. squat doesn't really "factor in" there, imo, in terms of specificity.. of course it helps generally, but the other exercises i mentioned will get you pull running with more power.

peace

that being said, accel is extremely important in most sports, more so than max-V if you look at it sport by sport, high percentage of sports relying more on short quick burst.. so..

quadNation4lyfe.

lmao check this out, lady started moving the goal as i was about to dunk on it, so i was like F it lemme jump up and try to touch it, haha.. i jumped too close, bad timing, it was moving too, clip should look kind of cool haha.



not the best dunk session though, 5 hours sleep, left knee bugging a little, and not really going all out, tried a bunch of tricks, whatever.

pc, taking more footage off cam



Haha, i have a friend who grabbed onto the rim just before they set it off moving up like that....he held on ended up about 20ft in the air....

hahahaha dude, that's what i wanted to do.. lmao

ridiculous, i looked in your performance tracker to see the progress over the last few weeks, but you stopped updating it, sucks.

what's the progress been exactly again? it's got to be impressive from what i recall, like 3 major PR's in 2 weeks..

How about dwarves?

Denmark has a benchpresser whos a dwarf. He holds the WR for his weightclass and has won several international titles. Honestly I think its bull. He cant fully extend his elbows (some dwarves has this problem) and he cant touch the ground when on the bench. So they bend the rules for him. And he keeps yapping about he stronger pound for pound in the bench than anyone in the world. All I can say is, I can get the cookies from the top shelf. Go fuck of stupid midget.

this might be the best post i've ever read in my entire life! hahaha...that was great! screw midgets!

Would you use isos at a certain point of collapse (say as in that "knee collapse" angle in a one-leg jump)?

nope, isos are mental masturbation.. if you're going to incorporate isos like that, they are SUPER SUPPLEMENTARY ASSISTANCE, you can't put any of your eggs in that basket thinking it will yield gains, you have to just perform them and if they give you gains good, if not, it's because they are isos.. so don't make them a primary part of your program because they usually lack any significant impact which would transfer to sport. i know i'm probably pissing alot of people off with those comments but, "traditional training" is far more effective than isos, it should be the primary type of training one uses to achieve gains, isos are just "fun little toys you try and hope they work".

you could do bodyweight iso work daily, multi daily, etc, hoping to improve some motor patterns/firing patterns, that's about all their good for imo.
